The squad building rules for this version of Carnage Con Queso are
really simple. You bring your own squad, and can choose whatever
equipment and weapons you like, with the following few limitations:

Maximum of 10 troops (or maximum of 6 if they are wearing Power Armour) 
Maximum of 4 support weapons 
Maximum of 3 IAVR rockets 
All troops must be equipped with the same type of armour 
All troops armed with a basic weapon must be equipped with the same
type of basic weapon

OK, I can add the marksman for another 6 points, plus (since his
sniper rifle is actually FPd10 Imp d12) and an EW guy who costs one
point plus cost of the EW package. Two more IAVRs, and that kicks me
up to 45.  Can't doctrinally support much more.
