For 27 points you get a t5 4+ model with 2 wounds and 16" mobility.
To top it off you get 6 str 4 shots at 12" and at 6" 2 of them bump up to str 5. That's huge Dakka for the points. Probably worth it to give the sarge a storm bolter or a combi flamer.

I run them bare-bones in units of 6(the gernade launcher is not worth the points IMO and they have done stellar for me. I can't think of a better unit in the marine arsenal to protect gunlines. Drive them right up the to close combat threat - unload and force them to charge you. There is a good chance you will survive a round of combat too thanks to t5 and 2w and the brutal overwatch as well.

Shhhhhh, it was a secret. But yeh, they are exeptionnaly cost efficient. They also do very well in melee with the extra attack. I forsee a nerf in points or in the loadout.

But it would be nice if the grenade launcher could get a buff too.

If it were still rapid fire I think it would be worth it. Get this I didn't even realize they have plus 1 attack - that is just silly.
