Agreed that Retributors are the mainstay, the Decimators and Protectors are specialists.

However, I would tend to go with Protectors over Decimators, sight unseen - the protectors 3 attacks (4 with the Prime) match the Decimators against many enemies and 3+/3+/-1 is nothing to sniff at. However, aim them at a monster and they will give even the Glottkin something to think about. Even against slightly smaller beasts, one round of good rolls can put the likes of a dragon or greater daemon down.

Forget their protection bonuses, they rarely seem to come into play. These guys are monster-hunters through and through.
