        Every point you make and I agree with them for the most part,
but I discovered that although my Warlock just dies horribly, and only
a small percentage (maybe 1/2) of my Phantoms pay for the 400 points I
spend on them, but for some reason, the Revenants always seem to do
okay, even though they're not 3/4 as good as a Phantom. So these
days, thinking about fielding Revenants is still common for me.
They're just as durable as their larger cousins, unlike Imperial
Titans, and mine don't seem to get T-hawked (I guess they're too
small a target.)
