------> Don't know if I'd take a whole company of them but I always take
a detatchment
of them in 2nd ed when I play IG and post them back with the IG heavy co
or artillery co
as bodyguards. The Ogryns usually end up back there too, along with a
comissar,and
possibly some RR's or sentinels. Keeps those nasty CC monsters back a
little better
than your ,ahem, "assault troops."

Haven't tried 'em in E40K so can't say.
