You lose out on the beat stick Lord, but gain a tougher more mobile bunker for your Tzeentch Herlads, 14 more wounds for the star, and the locus on the Herald can be pretty useful against particularly hard targets. The Screamers can act as a buffer against charges you don't want to take with your Dog Star or as a fast bully/tarpit unit against shootier lists. Either way they should be pumping out scoring units for you. Hope this helps!
