I don't use either of these, but I think their best use would be to back
up an assault company as a separate detachment. Use them to put a bunch
of relatively cheap blast markers on a detachment prior to an assault,
with out exposing anyone to direct fire. Maybe 4-6 of these vehicles,
half as many predators/ Leman Russ's to soak up blastmarker effects and
~ 1 infantry stand per vehicle to soak up hits and prevent your opponent
from getting +4 to assault rolls.
