In fairness, ork boyz firing overwatch with shootas are something of a special case as they're only marginally worse shots than in a normal round of combat....
Besides which, if you can get one round of "aimed" fire plus one round of overwatch, you have a non-trivial chance of killing him before he makes his charge move - meaning he doesn't blow up in the middle of the mob after they've made a pile-in move to cluster around him. That alone strikes me as reason enough....
But I must say the dataslate is awesome. I'm very tempted to do a 1750 point "army" of three execution forces, just for the hell of it....
(Been watching The Expendables over the weekend, which isn't helping).
