That with first rank fire, second rank fire would be pretty fun to try out, still not competitive enough though.

They would be a decent CC cleanup unit. 30 S4 Initiative 4 attacks with a close to 18" charge range starts looking a little like a Space Marine Assault Squad. As a Troops Choice. For 80 points.

do Psycopaths gain a CCW? I thought they were still one attack base. But yes, coupled with stubborn it's not a bad unit at all.

I thought it did, but I could be mistaken. I'm at work with no book for the time being.

Psychopath gives them: Fleet, FC, and CA

KnifeFighters gives them: Rending and a 2nd CCW
