(Planet 28) Gnomish Space Marine Stats, Part 1

Part of the process with the Gnomish Space Marines is to eventually play them, be in skirmish or full-fledged battles.  I'm using Planet 28 for the rules.  Planet 28 appears light enough and begs for some rules expansion.   It's my first time fiddling around with the rules, so I know I've done something wrong, or customized something the wrong way.  I've only had a quick perusal for the Death Machines vehicle supplement, and beyond a desire for a slightly expanded weapon list, I think I'm overcompensating for things, so the point costs might be lower.  

Average Gnomish Space Marine  (100pts)
Hardened by the harsh life on mining colonies.  Stunted by tremendous gravity, Gnomish Space Marines are the best of the best for their kind.  While some GSM can be found outside their system fighting with a plethora of weaponry, the average Marine fights relatively soft targets, and are happy to rely on the tried and true stubbers to defend Gnome-kind.

Average Gnomish Paramilitary  (70pts)
Beyond the GSM, there are a number of "average" Gnomes still defending civilization at varying levels.  Low-grade Planetary Defense Force recruits, police and constabulary, and even armed militias have received military surplus gear and can be a suitable match against

The "Gnomish Can Opener" is used against armor and vehicles, although Gnomish technology has still not fixed the problem with the weapon randomly exploding in the face of the wielder.
