USR: Counter Attack

Some interesting ideas here. I like the base with out Jump Packs. Might put them in the stansport options as that might make things clearer as its one or the other.

With the Sternguard ammo, are you thinking Deathwatch? I think you mentioned it in the Tac Squad somewere. If so then make it standard with the points payed for him. Not an upgrade. If thinking otherwise then have it as its one option and not in amung teh weapon options. I know I would love to have him with Stormbolter and Special Ammo.

Devo Assult looks interesting. I think it maybe a bit powerful with auto hits and therefor propose that it is a little dangerous to the marines and therefor they must take a Dangerous terrain test when preforming this manuver.
