Idea for putting heavy weapons in hordes

By Tunnelhckrat, in Deathwatch Rules Questions

I have an Idea for incorperating a heavy weapon team or 2 into a horde

when a heavy weapon is in a horde the bonus to hit the horde is a negative to single out the heavy weapon (makes sense to me)

heavy weapon fire can be dodged

size modifiers are still added (mainly for tyranids)

Sound good?

I do handle it similar, I think. I make up modifiers on-the-fly in general. It's a matter of putting yourself into the place of the shooting PC and simply asking yourself how big the target is he is shooting at, how big the visible part is, how good lighting conditions are, etc.
