CSM - A toss-up between Drop Pods, a corrupt Librarian (if only for the Psychic Hood which Chaos Sorcerers don't seem to get...), and Razorbacks. They already have the first in the form of Dreadclaws, but they're Apocalypse only, they need some form of psychic defence, and Razorbacks... they're similar to TH/SS in that I cannot fathom why they don't have them, at least in a a small quantity. One might assume that at least one or two THs/SSs can be salvaged from conflicts against their loyalist brethren, but Razorbacks aren't even that technical, it's only a Rhino with a weapon on the back of it. If they can field Predators, it means they have th capacity and knowledge to mount weaponry on a Rhino chassis (albeit with frontal reinforcement(, so it's not as if it's beyond their capabilties. Tau - Unsure about the unit, they don't really need a specific enemy unit. They're not meant to have much CC, and they're not psykers. The only thing I can think of are Guardsmen as Gue'vesa; they'd fill the role of squad-based support and heavy weaponry that the Tau do not approve of, just as Kroot fill the CC role. The ability to field certain heavy and special weapons in troops units would give Tau a bit more versatility that GW seem to be aiming for in their newer books. Eldar - Force Weapons to give Warlocks and Farseers more combat-punch (there's an army of force weapons, what's 0-2 expensive squads with them in another army?), perhaps the ability to choose between wounding on 2s with AS allowed, and Force Weapons, depending on how they channel their psychic potential. Either that or a Land Raider, but not for the AV14, just for the Assault Ramp. Why give us assaulty units that have to sit in the middle of an enemy army for a turn before they can do anything?

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

What are you talking about? The only unit affected by the Mad Dok's Med Pak Rule is the the one to which he is attached, not other units that take the Cybork upgrade. And then, it is still pretty hard to kite him around. He ignores the rule when coming on from reserves (which is great when he is Reserved with a Trukk full of Boyz or with Snikrot and his Kommandoz), and your opponent would have to dedicate a unit specifically to kite him around while maneuvering the entire rest of his army to avoid him. That is a pretty convoluted strategy for dealing with a 160 point model, one that you can take advantage of. That is hardly complete control over anything.

I play a meganob heavy list with two big units and maybe a small one in one of the support wagons. That puts half of my main fighting force in one place.
I don't just rush forward and bash stuff, the army isn't forgiving enough (and arguably neither is any ork army). I need to be able to use different tactics depending on what I'm up against. Jumping out of a wagon to beat up an empty rhino in my deployment zone, instead of heading off to what's actually important, isn't something I would want to do with any force, let alone mine.
I have used him in the past, but he's an utter liability, completely out weighing the benefits.

So, ramming the empty Rhino with your Deffrollas doesn't take it out before the Mad Dok disembarks? I have never had him do anything I didn't want to do, except the one time he and Snikrot didn't arrive until Turn 5.

If they're daft enough to keep it within range of a deffrolla.
Or maybe it's not empty and has a throw-away unit inside that they will have to assault after the transport is rollaed.
Or maybe some other unit that's sitting in front of all their guns or off away from an objective.
There's so many instances where he won't go where you want him to if your opponent thinks a little.
As for ICs attatching to Snikrot.... frankly I disagree with that ruling and it's the beardiest RAW, anti-RAI trick in the codex.

Y'know what Orks need?
Drop Pods, that's what. What could be Orkier than literally firing a Deff Dread from orbit right onto the battlefield? You could give them to MANz and Nobz too, though they wouldn't be much use unless you could assault out of them. . .
No, wait. Flash Gitz with Drop Pods. BAM, suddenly S6 weapons ignoring your armor in your deployment zone!
