Hi, has anyone run this unit in a game of 40K? How do they play? They are pretty tooled up but I imagine they are fairly easy to kill

They are essentially the same as any other imperial guard unit, very squishy with some nice special weapons. They are essentially an upgrade to the cultist mob: better gear, better save. I think the ability isn't as useful as the cultists, though, making them less ideal to camp a backfield objective in comparison.
Improving their save when close to an objective makes them more useful as a Frontline bullet sponge, tough.
