They are a bit expensive points wise, but have the ability to deep strike without using a stratagem and an in built to hit modifier. I don't use them much these days. I would like to see more playable rules in the future.
I prefer scorpions for that job, better saves and also -1 to hit if you give them the right exarch trait. All for 45pts and you get an extra wound. The only downside is that they're not troops so that can be a deal breaker for some.
