The night scythe is a supersonic transport that happens to have a fantastic gun on it and better armor and carrying capacity than a razorback. What else could you want?

Same armor as a razorback (they're both 11, and none of the fliers have shielding)

Nightscythes are pretty good, but flimsy. They can turbo for cover, or shoot their big gun and subsequently probably get shot down themselves. Arcs are highly survivable, but slow as hell.

Either way, not a huge fan of either of the new transports currently... they take a lot of points away from the sexy stuff in the codex.

The thing you have to remember to never leave home without is at least 1 solar pulse if you're planning on taking any night scythes. That way you should always get at least 1 turn of shooting out of them and if you go first then probably 2 turns.
