Well, your army has a lot of long-range firepower, so it's vulnerable to close combat specialists (specially those which can disembark directly in front of your troops, like SM). If i where you i would drop a Hydra and the stormptroopers and buy an infantry company. It will die as easily as your storm troopers (that 6+ save doesn't really make a difference), but they will take far more shots to break, and can form a (larger)defensive perimeter around your artillery company. Also, i would change the warhounds for a Regimental HQ, beacuse of the Supreme commander hability, but that's not so important as the first choice (if you don't believe me, try to use your stormtroopers... i did it once, and NEVER again!!!):angry:

Actually, storm troopers are Scouts and can screen more territory than a standard company. In fact, at the start of the game, they could likely shield the entire army, minus the warhounds, from air assault and teleporters.

Yeah, but they screen only an slightly superior length tahn a tactical company (160 cm for ST, 130 cm for the tactical company). Also the company have one less shoot, but has triple their range.
