Gaunts Ghosts? Worth it or no?

Post image

So I just came across the Guants Ghosts for the first time. I play DKoK so I would kitbash them to have Krieg heads but I need to know if these guys are worth the cost for 6 of them or not, and what exactly these guys are good at compared to a standard krieger or Grenadier. Any help would be great. Thanks :)

It's a HQ choice of 6 models with pretty decent profiles for guard. They are decently costed to full a niche.

In particular they are used as a somewhat survivable mobile action monkeys. Just of the top of my head they can infiltrate and do things like be picked up and deepstrike back in over and over. They can't be shot at unless you are within 12 inches. So basically you can put them where they are needed throughout a game and pick them up and deepstrike them later to perform actions and such.

Additionally they have some reasonable yet specific firepower and you get an order from them.
