They are still characters with 4++ for pretty cheap price. that's the reason.

80 pts. is not really cheap enough to justify them, compared to to more covens. Which suprises me, since covens even can be more reliable at casting. The only reason i can imagine that you'd bring them still is, when you throw them into a Chimera with some marauders with meltas to go tank hunting with warpflux and even then that is to pricy.
