Imo, swap the Starstrike Javs for sunleech bola's. When you do the swooping, you can pick a unit and re-roll ones and ontop of that, you add one to wound rolls. This synergizes exceedingly well with the sunleech bola's because when you land a successful hit with a bola, you roll that many wound rolls +1. This could do some serious damage vs bigger monsters or large units of chaff, like skaven clanrats. You're going to be going for an all in dive anyways, might as well go big or go home.

Yes good call, I forgot to switch that.
The swooping dive and +1 to wound from the battalion only works in the combat phase though.

+1 to-wound works only for combat phase, unforunately. Still, Bolas' potential damage is higher.

Oo, good point. Still, a 3 up on those beak attacks is better than a 4 up.
