I love the models but do we think they are any good and how would you use them to best effect.

They definitely are playable.
You can deepstrike the bunch of them for fairly cheap making them great objective grabbers.
Sure they lack some punch, but I would definitely consider them for their point cost. They are really cheaply priced. Especially the gunner squad, which is essentially a better Heavy weapons team.

Elucia's the only HQ makeing her a default with 2 mortal W options (strat/once per game) and an area buff not to mention AP4 in melee would be a reasonable choice anyway.

Nitch's squad only troops choice so also a default cheap squad considering the rotary cannon solid choice. Has a mortal W strat.

Larsen Solid buff - strategem is great for objective grabbing and can have admech strategems played on him if you have an admech detatchment. For a potential 2+3++. However lacking any real damage output - probably an auto include

Knosso - a meat shield im not sure he adds much to the squad would a commmisar with a power sword add more value for the same pts? He coukd chop through a couple of marines and he is cheap.

Saintasia cheap apothecary probably more efficient as a meat shield than knosso because it can heal/bring a model back (which can be nitch at 2W) minimal damage output but thats not what shes about. Only dissapointing thing is that she doesnt use a slot on the force organisation chart meaning you can't vanguard the lot

As arlen mentioned the deepsttike is nice.

As a squad they’re pretty neat, gives you some niche deep striking objective grabbers that can hitchhike on any transports you have. The big problem is they take a precious detachment slot though, which can be critical

Can anyone verify if the squad has the character keyword, making them unique? I'm getting conflicting reports on whether you can take multiple voidsmen squads

I don’t think they’re characters, they just say “only one of this unit can be included in your army”
