Some new unit Ideas

[hellonstrikers]

So after finally becoming a Patron and getting the point calculator, Ive decided to post up 2 units, One for Standard Grim future, and the other for Firefight/Grim future.

First up, in the HDF list Ive noticed it is lacking a Certain Archetype for a hero, The big guy with a Big gun.

Gunnery Sargent [1]
4+/5+
HMG (36", A3, AP(1)), CCW (Melee, A2)
Tough(3) Hero
55pts

Second is a Common Industrial Robot with a Bug Brain in it, 2 massive Claws and Either Gravity or Fusion Pistols, Ya know, for construction.

Bug-Bot No guns Version

4+/3+
2x Demolition Claws (Melee, A3, AP(1), Rending)
Fear, Fearless, Impact(2), Tough(6)
140pts (142.25)

Bug-Bot Fusion Version
4+/3+
2x Demolition Claws (Melee, A3, AP(1), Rending),2x Fusion Pistol (6", A1, AP(4), Deadly(6))
Fear, Fearless, Impact(2), Tough(6)
160pts (160.25)

Bug Bot Gravity version
4+/3+
2x Demolition Claws (Melee, A3, AP(1), Rending) 2x Gravity Pistol (12", A2, Rending)
Fear, Fearless, Impact(2), Tough(6)
150pts (151.25)

Have Fun with you Cybernetic Wrecking ball.

Any thoughts?

Nice to see, that so many guys are making new units! 
I see, that your Gunnery Sargent should fill the "Big guy with big gun" gap, but do HDF really need this? Doesnt they already have tons of big guns? 
Dont get me wrong, if you are in need for this, than its totally cool. But in my mind the human heroes should be more like supporters for units than mighty fighters. (Commander, Executioner, Battle Drills, etc).
Maybe your hero could become something like a range supporter with something like "he and the unit gets Relentless" (like the Battle Drill for melee) and the big gun is just one special weapon option?

Hope you have fun with your invention and good luck on the field of glory!

In a certain NumberK universe there are several characters that tote around a big gun. Sgt. Harker in the Catachan, Rocket Girl from the Last Chancers, and "Try Again" Brag from Guant's Ghosts. There are models for these (or have been in the past) so I can see rules to allow people to use them.

I would just put options for few of the HDF heavy weapons. Rocket Girl uses a missile launcher and Brag has used a variety of eeapons (once using a HMG while also carrying a missile launcher).

I was thinking of that, just use points from the heavy weapon squad table. As for a shooting skill buff, I wanted to keep him cheap but it  would help differentiate him from regular heavy weapon teams.
