Way too messy really... The idea is interesting though. Can't Stormboys have some kind of grenades and power klaws or so?

sorry - deleted previous post which had points costs etc and didn't make much sense!
Initial topic query:
can stormboys and tankbusta's combine to form 'skybusta's' - a unit of infantry specifically intended to take out airbourne threats?
THE PLAN: 20 point per model makes 5 of them approx equal a valk.
with ,'Sky busta' bombs, 'orky intercept', 'movin targits' and 'glory hogs'
sky busta bombs: 6 + 2D6 - as tank busta bombs but kills the storm boy on any 1,2,3 to hit?
orky intercept: on a 4+ can hit a fast flyer / skimmer regardless of how far it moved (in close combat only).. note this links to 'orky intercept' missed hits
movin' targits - if moved 18" or more, unit gains a 5+ inv sv OR 3+ cvr save?
glory hogs vs flyers – must move towards and attack nearest flyer in LOS
tankhamma - S10 vs vehicle + 10 points per model (max 2 in unit) universal - tank hunter rule?? - nob only? (unknown points - 15??)
though the 'klaw would work (stormboy nobs can take powerklaws), i kinda like the idea of a stormboy / tankbusta unit training to specifically hunt flyers.. the fact they move so quickly, irratically and trailing such a huge cloud of smoke this would shield them a little (so they at least have a chance of reaching their target) ...and then there's a 50% chance they kill themselves on impact with the flyer... meaning they'll probably flee
the unit basically becomes a unit of hunter killer missiles that can be shot at on route
i do see that marines don't have this intercept skill, so appreciate its value, its just that until i get some flak attack i want something that threatens the slightly too cheap for its ability valkyrie
