You can use your sabre platform to hold an objective in your deployement zone, as they are fairly cheap and can sustain a little fire.
But keep in mind that they can only snapfire on ground target, IIRC, due to Skyfire.

Still a good unit, I think, it can put out a decent amount of AA for a pretty cheap cost.

There are the cyclops too, you can use them to protect your units from being assaulted (no one want to be in contact with theses little guys) or use them as counter-attack. if you place them near your gunline.
You can drop them from a Valkyrie (even if a cyclop fail a dangerous test, it still has an hp, so, there isn't really any risk), sprint and then explode in an opponent's unit.
A good old bombardment^^

The artillery platforms/carriages are known to be more powerful and cheaper than their vehicle mounted alternative, as they can receive orders IIRC again. But never used it TBH.

The tarantula sentry gun are another unit I want to buy and test: they are very cheap too, can be hidden easily (they are tiny/small) can buy camo netting, and are resistant.
A tarantula with lascannon and camo netting is less than 40 pts...

And the FW Manticore is just better than the GW's one (can has the same gun/armament if you want).

Keep in mind that is just my opinion, and I never used the most of the units I'm talking about^^ Just what I can figure out from the book and the Internet.
