Has anyone used these on their raiders to good effect? I was thinking about including them on the Raiders I use to deliver my Wracks into close combat, to help the enemy fudge their combat resolution as well as I figured I could use the Raiders to screen enemies trying to pile in and aid those I've already assaulted. Basically use the Raider to block their movement, and if they try to assault the raider, I have a bit of protection from the grenade launchers and flickerfield.

Also, do the Shock Prow and Torment Launchers sync up well together? That was another thing I was wondering, if I could tank shock people and at -1 to their leadership with the torment grenades. That's a pretty nifty bonus at just five points, everything else considered.

Just wondering if someone else has played around with these and if they really are or aren't worth their points.

The only time I see torment grenade launchers being worthwhile is if the unit they are transporting includes a character that has one of the items that has an effect on the enemy failing a LD test.

it is also the only form of anti "psyker" dark eldar have since it will effect psykers LD for psychic tests.

Have you actually used them in a game?

Because I can think of lots of plausible ways for them to earn their points back, but I haven't played a game with them yet.

I'd also really like to know if their leadership penalty applies when the vehicle tank shocks. Because to me, that'd be worth the points right there, nevermind other uses.

The leadership donk applies when tank shocking.
I think they're a bit conditional, but they're not a bad investment - you just need a list primed to take advantage of them.
