It can mess up guard blob, and invisistars. Can take out MSU marines, and Marine Bikes. It crumples like a paper bag to Serpent Spam. It can probably take out 2 Knights reliably, but there would be a fair number of Knight builds that would give it trouble. It is a good list that is going to be a hard counter to many, many things. As long as you don't run into Serpent Spam you are racking up points. Even then you might do ok if you get 1st turn. Alpha Strike should kill a serpent. Turn 2 you have the potential to kill 2 more. At that point, you are probably down 2-3 FMC's and the serpent spam is down 2-3 serpents, so it might be close to even.
I think I've talked myself into liking this list quite a lot. It is definitely build to deal with the current meta, but that meta is well-known and well documented. I might be sold.
