Well, with Preferred enemy being granted by the Destroyer Lord, and a Res Orb, they shoot up significantly in effectiveness. I wouldn't take them without one. You go from missing 1/3rd of the time, to pretty much missing 1/6th with your AP2 shots, and you only fail to wound 1/6th of the time in Melee, and Shooting. It's really really nice. The Dlord will also have almost everything bounce off of him, if you have him in the front. Their Melee isn't super effective, since they only have two attacks on the Charge, but between their shooting, and the Destroyer lord, they will chew through just about anything. I'd still stay away from TH/SS Termies, but most other elite squads, you should be able to take out without to much trouble.
They are a lot more killy than Wraiths, but Wraiths are going to be the better choice if you don't want to bring a Destroyer Lord with them. I'd say Wraiths are also a Tad more survivable, with their 3++, but TP are T5, with a 4+ RP, so it ends up being fairly close, Mathwise.
I think Wraiths will still be the better option. The I dropping coils, which you get to determine every fight phase if it's applied first or last is awesome, the 3++, S6 rending, etc. I guess Praetorians aren't total junk now. Also, with outflank now applied to attached squad members, stick a blob of 20 Flayed Ones with a
MSS, Res orb, and warscythe lord and we have a pretty excellent tarpit unit.
