Now I've never been a fan of jack of all trade units...on a large scale. While it's better for the unit, it's worse for the force as a whole. Because they end up effective at nothing or rediculously expensive in points. So I've done my best to avoid these type units.
That said, I have one in my list. See, having one unit that can do just about anything, is worth it as you always have a unit that's right for the job. Now I've done my best not to make this unit over powered, because that's just not fun to play against. So here's what I have and then what would be the best possible unit:
What I have:
sergeant Bastone
sniper rifle
heavy flamer
plasmagun
grenadiers
rocket launcher
best loadout:
sergeant bastone
3 plasmaguns
grenadiers
rocket launcher
Now what makes this unit so great? first of all, bastone can give orders, infact he's better than any lieutenant, and since he's leadership 10, he rarely fails. Now why grenadiers its so expensive in points? Well for starters, I wanted this unit to have some degree of survivability out of cover, because I've already invested a lot in them, and second, because with a plasmagun, there's now only an 8% chance of user death.
It's worth the high points to have the ability to do anything, granted they won't be going out and killing everything, but it's nice to have the option, and flexibility.
