As you can see taking three Battallion detachments is cheaper by 33 pts compared to the Brigade and nets 3 more CP. (Brigade is now cheaper, but points per CP still goes to 3 batallions)

*While three Battalions is cheaper, it also takes 6 Big Meks, making it illegal at any game using the Rule of Three. You could get a similar list by replacing three of the Big Meks with Weirdboyz, which still comes out as 12 points cheaper than the Brigade. (Not anymore, now 54 points more expensive.)

Probably the smallest useful detachment, however, is two Weirdboyz and 10 Gretchins x 3. Just over 200 points, but unless you have a bunch of vehicles, makes for considerably more utility for only a few teef more.
