Infiltrating Heavy Weapons

The downfall of many heavy support choices in 40k is their early placement. Normally, heavy support choices like devastator squads and whirlwinds are set up first, before the rest of your units. However, because my devastator squads are elites, they're set up after troops and heavy support, giving me a decided advantage in setup. To even further this advantage, I can give my devastator squads infiltration instead of tank hunter for those squads bearing low-strength weapons. With infiltration, I can pick great defensive positions or even stake out mission objectives outside my own deployment zone. Usually, players infiltrate so they can get closer to their enemy, but I will use infiltration to pick my best spots to deploy devastators, and do it after all the opponent's other units are on the table.

With that in mind, here's the new list:
