I've got 2 fully painted squads of commandos and I would like them to see the table and still be effective.

Most of the lists I see with commandos use the strike teams. Is anybody using full squads of commandos effectively? If so, how are you using them?

I am looking for ideas and inspiration here. I know I can put them out there just for fun if I really want to.

I have been considering this, but never tried it myself. They don't seem bad as a full unit, unfortunately, using the same basic weapon as troopers, veterans and pathfinders leaves my trying to figure out a purpose for a full unit. They could be useful for dislodging people from cover, or things like speeder bikes that rely on cover.

They are awesome!

Always include my full unit of commandos with a sniper in almost every list.

Sharpshooter with pierce is really deadly. My brother has serious respect for them.

They will be a target since they have the same defence as normal troopers but are more dangerous and cost more points.

They usually.are at the back of my army, laying down cover fire in some cover. I also always give them duck and cover in case I wanna run them in the open late game to get to an objective.

They will be awesome once smoke grenades are available, being able to drop smoke gives them heavy cover they can shoot out of with no penalty, if they have to shoot into cover they can shoot first (and with a range 5 shooter that isn't that hard to find a target) then drop us he grenade, giving them heavy cover till end of turn.
