Squad selection question

[killahtz]

So, I'm trying to figure out how i want to build my army and can't decide what would be best. Thus I'm here to ask a couple of questions. First some background, I have 2 completed infantry squads and a heavy weapon squad. I also have the stuff to put together another infantry squad.

Now i was wondering if i should continue with the plan to keep the 3 heavy weapons together in one squad or should i break them up and put one into each infantry squad and then use the 6 extra troopers to form a special weapon squad.

Thanks in advance.

Well I think that all depends on what you plan on doing weapon-wise with the heavy weapons and special weapon squads. Without knowing that this is my suggestion: If the HWS is lascasson, keep them a separate squad, then play them behind your infantry within range of orders from a command squad. Heavy Bolter and Autocannon squads do better in squads since they have more shots, you don't lose the shots from switching out the two Guardsmen annd that gives you a few stronger shots in your front lines. The problem I've found with Heavy Weapon Teams in infantry squads is that since they out-range lasguns and don't have the "Relentless" rule, you either have to move them up to get the lasguns in range (and then snapfire them), or you have to play a little more defensivly with your infantry.

okay so it looks like more info is need. The HWS currently is armed with missile launchers and I generally have grenade launchers in my squads although the one is not complete. Also have one Heavy weapon that need to be put together.
