Okay, this makes more sense. I didn't understand in your initial post
how extremely motivated these guys were. They aren't _much_ better,
but they are better. These guys can go head to head with genestealers,
provided you equip them with exarchs, and probably tear the stealers
apart. (5 Assault, Rampage, Don't Break vs. 6 Assault, Auto-Rally)
However, I think they are fairly priced for their abilities.

I was just a bit slow this morning too, so I needed to walk through
that interaction aloud. :-)

These Amandils certainly come across as extremely dauntless Aspect
Warriors. If Aman is 'the last, best hope' for the Eldar, I suppose it
makes sense. I hadn't really considered a rampaging Eldar before,
which is part of why I was a bit confused at first.
