Or, for Orks, as transports. They're also good suckers-up of FP, since
with 5 BattleForts in a unit, you'll lose more to criticals than FP as
such.

I disagree. At least in part. Just look upon them as Disposable, rather
than merely Expendable. 1 Berserker vs 2 enemy is about right. The idea
is not to win the CC, it's to cause casualties. Apart from that, yes,
they are "less than useful".

Agree.

Not so sure, 3 squads of 3 THs means 9 BMs and 36 dice of damage on one
unit. Anything other than THs is probably too vulnerable to Flak. Oh
yes, THs can also transport too :) but no-one ever uses them that
way.... unless to snatch an objective or two.
Yes, I think THs are too powerful.
