How good are the Tyranid disruption units?

I am mainly thinking lictors rapid ingressing 12,1 and then charging objectives the following turn. And gargoyles landing, shooting and them move onto objectives. The meurotyrant also can send out that shockwave to force battlefield tests with -1. Are any of these good to steal main objectives?

Of course there can be other disruptive units as well. Von Ryan's leapers can force conservative deployment. Neurogants can be in the way. Barnes gaunts can reduce movement. Are any of these trucks better then just cute?

Ask again in a few weeks once we have the new codex.

That being said gargoyles are amazing at stealing objectives.

Gargoyles and lictors both seems good subside units just to deny objective controll. Steal some objectives for two turns and it can make scoring more difficult. They are also reasonable priced.
