Extra Militarum++

My dude, we're not even overboard yet and you're already shaking. These bad boys can now die en masse but not before causing just as many casualties to their opponents. With 18 riflemen in a single squad, which totals a good 36 pooled hitpoints (once more, from the Vanilla 8 lasguns and 16hp), you're sure to mow down a good chunk of enemy infantrymen while your artillery finishes the job. I told you we'd hold the line, Lord Commissar!

Again, with the Armour parametre still at 4 in this and my other two mods (Extra Militarum and Extra Militarum+) just like in Vanilla, they're still pretty weak. In-game as much as lore-wise they're supposed to hold the line with overwhelming firepower and, when fortifications are not an option, sheer manpower. Don't say I'm being too good on the Astra Militarum, my original idea was to make just two mods which would respectively double and then triple their numbers. That's 16 men in one mod and 24 in the other. Now that's be game-breaking as all hell, not even the T'au would be able to shoot fast enough to deplete those numbers my boy!

Everything used here is of course not mine and edited as per the game's EULA and the terms for modding.
The thumbnail is just Dawn Of War: Winter Assault's cover but edited, literally google "warhammer 40k guardsman smiling".
If there's already a mod that does this then sucks to be me, I couldn't find it at least in the Workshop or maybe it's just one of those mods with a metric ton of things including bigger, buffier squads.
Note that this mod does not require any DLC, core game should do fine (made on version 1.6.4).

Edit: in case of interest/request from you guys I may decide to also increase the number of Scout Sentinels (from 2 to 3 per squad) and Wyrdvane Psykers (from 5 to 8 per squad) for this mod.
