Seriously, I'm not a big fan of uber-expensive squads. They don't tend to make their points back, and they're fragile as hell considering how much you've invested in them. This squad is just going to draw every plasma gun, lascannon, railgun, starcannon, bright lance and power weapon on the board, because even if your opponent loses one squad for every 2 models he kills, he's still earning mega points.
Very true, try not to give in to chaos that much, because I could wipe that squad off to the board before they got to me, and I play Khorne so only major firepower is in tanks. But when taking out 700 points in 3 turns, I wouldn't hesitate to turn 6 lascanons, 2 of them twin linked, a battelcannon, reaper autocannon, and havoc launcher on that squad.

That said, the most expensive squad per model I play is this.

5 chosen terminators - 265
5 chainfists
5 Marks of Khorne
1 champion upgrade
1 Talisman of Burning Blood
1 Collar of Khorne

Still, same points as a land raider crusader, and they would wipe one out easily.
