They are great at taking out transports and they are a great answer to Wave Serpents and Necron skimmers. I've been giving them more love lately and they have been great!

Why? They don't exist in a vacuum. After the top 3-4, it matters less and less what you have in your list.

Doesn't the rest of your list prevent the top 3-4 from being in a vacuum?

And I don't know if that makes me happy or sad...
