Cc counter squad

[Deleted]

I was thinking of making a Platoon command squad that can do a decent number of Attacks in CC

Junior Officer
4x veterans
1x medic
5x carapace armor
power weapon
frag grenades
all the vets have CC and las pistol
Commissar
carapace
power fist
bolt pistol

This in total costs 170 points. each model dishes out 4 attacks. 4+ save 4 power weapon and 4 power fist attacks. Now its not going to be able to take on a assault squad but would serve as a good counter charge unit. If the enemy were in cover then thats even better as they get to fight simultaneously. Since I dont like rough riders this is the only thing I can think of outside of allies. I plan to play a guard infantry list and since I will ahve 1-2 turns to see where they are going to hit. Should give me time to reposition them.

[Commissar]

Now throw in some ogryns to help em out!

how about a priest so that you may re-roll failed to hit rolls on the charge when you counter attack

That will end up costing half as much as the squad once you equip him properly.
I like the squad but i would deffinately keep it hiding until the situation is right.

i personally would replace the commisar with a priest with eviscerator, and make the squad hardened fighters.... and the way to use them is have a guard screen or sacrifice squad more than six inches infront of them so if the sacrifice squad is lost and your enemy gets amassacre roll you wont be locked in CC and lose that charge bonus and the priests ability.... also as hardened fighters you commander will be WS5 because he counts as guard infantry
and if you have the pints make one of your vets a medic because he can get a LP/ccw combo and have his medikit.... I have seen a squad like this take down a kitted tactical squad and come out in pretty good shape.... trial and error is the best way to test this out find what feels right for you!

I was honsetly thinking about putting something like that together. Let us know how it works. My other thought was with a Chimera they could cause Tau fits.
