Hellions with him get Stealth, so in cover its a 3+ save. With Baron, they can re-roll terrain tests and yes, they are Jump Infantry, which makes them a disgusting unit. They can fleet to get into assault, they have Combat Drugs, and can shoot out a ton of shots.
Like many units though, it does somewhat rely on cover. Infantry Platoons are another unit, as I am a Guard player. If I stared down three Whirlwinds, I would damn near write off my blob unit entirely.
I think 2 might be the right option, to make room for Zeke, since the RoB thing won't work (dammit).
