Conversion Idea: unsure at the moment, maybe converting a missile launcher/fusion blaster on a Stealth Suit.

General ideas for battlesuits:

Monats: a crisis team can be split into singular (SP) units/teams, in game terms each crisis suit is deployed seperate to each other, the squad are deployed at the same time (so if one deep strikes, they all deep strike) but seperate to each other. The monats count as 1 strong units for VP, objectives etc, but still arrive at the same time (one roll for reserves per monat squad)
