gargoyles. 'Thropes have no shot, though they are devastaing in 40K. For
two more points you get +2 assault, +5 speed, and trade psyker for
infiltrator. They should have got an anti tank shot, anyways. In fact, I
think all psychers should have got an anti tank shot, 30 cm. I've only
once used a psychic blast, to kill a really damaged war engine before a
firefight. And that probably wasn't worth it.

And Why are gargoyles so expensive? apparently, giving a termagant wings
is worth nine points. I lost the intercepts with 2 to 1 odds of
gargoyles to thunderbolts almost every time.
