I run mine very similarly, although I ditch the VC (note -- not HVC) in favor of a DS or BS. Like you said, it's not a unit that bowls anyone over, but it's versatile, gets cover saves, has synapse and can hold an objective while engaging the enemy at range. Maybe I should try boneswords, but I just keep coming back to the idea that splurging on boneswords makes so much more sense on Shrikes than plodding Warriors. Been meaning to give Shrikes a thorough test, but then I have to build the right army around them...
