On paper assault centurions are good, like really good, at close assault and combat. Flamers and hurricane bolters and a crap load of CC attacks seems tasty. However, I say on paper though because they need some form of delivery system which leaves only a land raider or a stormraven. This in essence adds 200+ pts which obviously knocks them back to hard to justify.

Dev centurions are a bit better in the dakka load out of HBs and hurricanes. However, you can get almost 6 aggressors for that coat and it is very clear you should just take aggressors. Centurions with Las borders on the insane of cost and grav is done so much better by devastators when can take a pod.

In sum, no, there are more efficient options that does their job better and cheaper.
