New Veteran Assault Squad for SoH,configuration

[Agramar_The_Luna_Wolf]

I have an squad with jump pack for my SoH ,that I use them as Praetorian Command Squad with jump packs/without or as Veteran Assault Squad. Armed with a mix of Lightning Claws and power fists. 11 guys, one can be changed for the roll of banner bearer.

 

But I was thinking to add another Assault Veteran Squad, 10 guys, using the box of new mk2 Assault Squad.

 

Can someone suggest me some different build-up/configurations? Thanks in advance!

Game wise Thunder Hammers / Powerfists and Paired Lightning Claws is 'Meta' but last edition Sabres were very cost effective and who knows about next edition 

 

I imagine you have a big pile of bits so maybe do it as a modelling project with the most brutal bits you have or equip them with a mix of weapons you've not put on the first squad?  Or maybe build more character models then do a smaller squad with those left over?

Sabres? The charnabal weapon or the tank?

My idea is get an squad of troops more than use bits in characters(I have plenty, and some more coming);and I don't want to repite the same configuration of the first one. I need something different.

Thunder hammer are always tasty,and I have some spare,ready to use. But still have little idea or inspiration for a all working unit.

The Charnabal weapon!  Though I imagine an Assault Squad dropping a tank on the enemy would also be quite good

Yeah, that would be awesome 

I have some charnabal,but it's not my style. And the plastic new ones...I don't like the design.

There isn't that much to work with here, as it's fundamentally "melee dudes with jump packs and some kind of power weapon" but Herr are two different kinds of unit you could build: 

-Split the unit into two squads of five, each with 3 paired lightning Claws, 1 chainaxe and 1 chainsword. These units would like to move slightly up the board and look threatening. They'd want to go with a lot of shooting and mechanized lone, the goal being to force objectives to remain takeable and bait out reactions by merely threatening vanguard 3. In case of some enemy mishap they are still capable of mopping up small tactical squads for some opportunistic line scoring. 

-Run 10, all with shields, 5-7 Hammers, the rest with chainweapons. This unit wants to be a lot more involved and would probably be best run along more aggressive units. Vanguard scoring remains on the table bit this unit wants to get in more proactively and can take on elite targets instead of preying on troops
