The guys and i went to the shop this afternoon and the topic of kommandos came up. This was an idea that most of us felt as a good idea.

1 Kommando Nob Rokkit Launcha and 2 Ammo Runts
4 Kommando Boys 1 Rokkit Launcha

Set your Kommandos in some cover and start pumping out the rokkits!

Have you seen or done this before?

To me it looks like a good role for the Kommandos, setup and start hammering on some armour, draw fire and with luck blow some stuff up . What ever can get pressure off my forward boyz will always sound good.

If I'm not mistaken, Kommandos are an elite unit, right? if so then it's kinda pointless, you might as well take Lootas.

It is an idea, but I think you'll find the same points in lootas to be much more effective. 5 lootas costs a little bit less and put out an average of 10 strength 7 shots compared to 2 strength 8 shots with 2 rerolls to hit per game. They also do so from outside of small-arms range, while those kommandos are inside that 24" and it will only take them losing 2 models to be making morale checks on their 7 leadership, which means they'll be pretty casually brushed aside.

Good thinking outside the box though.
