Old reliable medusa Mortar will pick up 2~3 marines a shooting phase direct fire and if he shoots my infantry I get to shoot him with my Mortar as an auxilia exclusive reaction. Plus a Mortar is only 140 points and a single artillery commander can bring 3, or 6 in an artillery cohort. I can get 2 AV12 artillery tanks for 280 points and your get 10 volkite scrubs for 250.

Sure the HSS can pick up a squad of lasrifles but he's spending 250 points to pick up 100 points of chaff, I win that trade.

Much more afraid of plasmaguns and Heavy bolters, they're a more points efficient method of picking up my infantry and they also kill my sentinels and ogryn real good too.
