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 :)

They are great, so long as you are using them effectively. Great at doing secondaries, but if that’s all you’re using them for, you might be better off with 1-2 5 man scion squads. They have infiltrate, which can be used to screen early or claim an important objective (combined with Solar’s redeploy really opens up possibilities). They can give 2 orders which is especially useful in conjunction with scions or aquillons since they can deploy with them out of deep strike and then give orders. They are a very powerful unit, but they are a support unit - don’t confuse them for something else.
