at (48" BS2 S14 AP-3 D6), is it viable for for an alpha strike? I'm imagining it would be useful against a Knights list, Oath of Moment a knight and put the fear of god into it. A list could easily be put together using your older collection of models too. Rhino, Razorback, Predator, Whirlwind, Vindicator, an Ironclad Dreads give you 2 HKMs as well. Do other armies have a similar option?

Sister's HKM also hit on 2's, and can get even better if below initial strength/half strength, avoiding hit penalties and +1 to wound.

On the other hand, Imperial Guard HKM only hit on 4, which is weird. Either SM/Sisters should hit on 3's or AM on 3's I think.

Guard can definitely spam them though and push them to 3+ with orders, with easy access to RR1 from Scout Sentinels.
- 9 from Scout Sentinels
- 9 from Armoured Sentinels
- And you can bring back 3 each time one of these sentinel units die.
