They used to be very popular, I own 6 converted myself and I love 'em for fluff reasons.
Infantry without dedicated cover saves or a transport REALLY get blown out of the water in 6th, they have very very poor mobility especially with
plas cannons and most things will break their armor. I've ran the
plas cannons before and it's tough to get them to work, they always get targeted first.
I'm considering running him /w an aegis defence line manning the quad gun just to give me more longe range threats /w the
plas servitor's and 9 naked acolytes just to soak up wounds.
It's tough though, 12'' isn't that much and I feel a lot of the time his 2nd warpcharge get's wasted a lot where in an assault vehicle forewarning/precog/can we very good.
It'd be interesting to run something like this over the Dreadknight:
Aegis /w Quad
3x Servitor /w
plas cannon
9x acolytes
Ordo Maelleus
lvl 1 Inquisitor
Actively switch where you deploy each inquisitor, Coteaz get's forewarning? Stormraven and nominate the inquis for warlord hoping to get orbital bombardment or whatever.
Coteaz is forced to get scrier's gaze? Smack him on the quad gun and bank on having good reserve rolls.
Supports the Rhino's and Dreadnought nicely aswell.
