Depends on the degree. LRs are, IMHO, too effective for the points.
Worse is that they belong to the Imperials, who already have a vast
amount of variety to choose from.
But the degree is relatively small. At 35pts they're too cheap, but 50
wouldn't be.
Then again, Ork Nobz are such a bargain, they're underpriced too. But
shooty boyz at 17 pts are overpriced. In neither case by much.

Agree. For cheese you need a) Cheap and b) Unbeatable except under
incredibly rare circumstances. LRs qualify for a) but the circumstances
are merely rare, not incredibly so, as numerous battle reports have
atested.
