I man my ADL (with quad gun) with ratlings. Usually about 5 of them. The built in stealth makes the rattlings really good, now with a 3+ cover save and BS4. Low point cost. The only other unit I have fielded the ADL w/ quad gun is a Penal Legioin Squad. Built in stubborn is great for this.

I'm thinking in adding an infantry platoon with a lord commisar using a cammo cloak for giving stealth to the unit, but I got a question, how many troops can fit inside an Aegis? Right now I don't have a line to test it. And I would man the quad it with the platoon officer (BS4) If an IC has stealth, it is not for the whole unit anymore (read 6ed description of the rule). I usually use the Quad gun with a platoon command squad with another autocannon, so the unit has a good amount of Str7 firepower. Operated by the BS4 officer of course.

Stealth does still spread to the rest of the Unit as far as I can see. It says "Any Unit with at least one Model with Stealth...", and it doesn't have an exception like Infiltrate or Counter-Attack do.
The problem is that the Camo Cloaks were errataed to just provide a +1 to that Model's Cover Saves instead of Stealth.

what about Marbo ? not so expensive BS5 guy but more costly than a CCS, however he does have a better BS and is a little bit cheaper than a Lord commissar with the same BS I would go for the loner with the best BS Funny story: couple months ago, I was going up against another IG player who took a bastion with a quadgun. My manticore killed everyone on it, and his Vendetta just showed up. So, I made Marbo appear at the top, man his quadgun, and shot down his own Vendetta with it. We're still not sure that was 100% legal, but we went with it anyway because it was awesome. ;D But anyway, yeah, it makes sense to have Marbo man a quadgun, but it would such a waste of his other abilities (the demo charge primarily) to stick him on gun duty for the whole battle.
