On a related note I just saw HulkSmashes list from the Darkstart GT. 6x foot strikes with psybolt ammo and psycannons, 2x dreadknights w/ jump packs and heavy incinerators.

What a nightmare, I am starting to lean more and more heavily towards Soul Grinders in competitive play with Phlegm. The amount of mid level shooting or poison on the field seems to be becoming overwhelming...

What's even funnier is how the internet tells us that strike squads are crap and thus you'll never see a single one on any table... If I had a dollar for everytime I've played against one of these 'worthless & you'll never see 'em' squads, I could buy every GK army in my local meta and light them on fire!

Me too, I have played GK 3 times in GT's with my Daemons and I ran into 2x Strike Squad in two of my games and Shunting Interceptors in the last one.

That's because strikes were being compared to purifiers etc. They are bad when compared to them. Aside from warp quake there is no benefit. But In my draigowing I run 2 squads of them one for objective and one to follow my deathstar to prevent things like drop pods, etc from impeding my movement.
