Anyone running eliminators?

[1b2a]

Trying to get a bubble synergy working in a list, but eliminators would absolute (please do not swear) on this for 100 SM points (lol). Are people running these guys? They are ignore line of sight snipers (lol) that target characters. S5 -1 1 damage. 6s mortal. Stratagem gives them +1 hit and +1 wound which brings them to 2s hit 2s wound and 5s mortal wounds. A unit can get 12 wounds on a character. Are these being played in lists now? My feeling is that there are a ton of DPS options that SM players are prefering at the moment. Thinking of bringing a locus and using BB for wound interception.

Bonus question... Does da jump count as reinforcements for clamavus's anti-reinforcement aura?

Eliminators are very strong, there are many units out there. If you’re tailoring against marines, you have to count them in your opponent’s list.
Everything that is removed and redeployed on the table count as reinforcement.

In my meta all marines bring eliminators, especially Ravenguards are nasty. They totally mess the GSC up with snipers and scout deployment in ruins.
Hiveguards should kill them. Ignore line if sight, -2ap ignore cover is great against them

Everyone is playing them. Usually maxed at three units

Mortis rounds are no LOS, +2 to hit rolls, no cover save and S5 AP-1 D1. Executioner rounds are mortal wounds on 6+ to wound and S5 AP-2 DD3. Luckily they don't get all in one package, but yeah, they seem to be included in most SM lists.

Additional note, it's the sergeant not a strategem that gives them +1 hit +1 wound, so the unit only gets 2 shots boosted.
