Other than massing power weapon attacks, Henchmen have nothing over marines.

You must have missed the part where a Warrior with a Storm Bolter is 7 points.

Yet he is BS3 and if you ever jump out to fire them their T3 5+ save will be 100% slaughtered in the next turn. i dont really consider using those for that exact reason, i'd rather use 3 warriors with meltas and then max out close combat ability.

20 shots = 10 hits = 5 wounds vs T4 or ~ 6 wounds vs T3. Close combat ability? None whatsoever. Thats not worth one killpoint, or two with the transport
