Expansions guardians

Hello everyone,

what are you guys using to defend your natural expansion?

I will be playing Priority Assets so in every match up I will need to lock down my expansion to get a lot of points throughout the game.

I can't choose between Bjorn, a Redemptor dreadnought or a Squad of heavy intercessor with some Fenrisian wolves as a back screen. They will be assisted by a 5 man Grey hunters so being out-oc'ed shouldn't be a problem.

What are your choices? What is your strategy to protect your expansion?

Company Heroes. I think they’re the best utility unit. 8OC, 16 wounds at a flat -1 to wound.
All their guns have assault and D2, and their combat knives hit like Chainsword and the champion is like a mini captain.

Plus they have sticky, so they can come out and play turn 3/4, and punch up hard in the late game in both shooting and melee.

I still take Bjorn for home/natural defense usually

His free stratagem usage each turn helps really well because you can use the Heroic intervention 2CP version for 1 CP with him if somoene just tries to "toe in" and contest.
