How would it get into hand to hand? It's not fast enough
to catch any of the tyranid titans, they could run away from it all
day until the Doms finally get through the shields. The only ranged
weapon it has that could even scare them is the Doom Burner, and
that only has a range of 75cm with 1 attack die (the death storm is
nice but it's isn't going to do much to the tyranid titans and hardly
justifies a 900 point model that gives up massive VPs when it dies).
Maybe if there were other, juicier targets sitting around this guy
could survive till the end of the game, but I can't see him accomplishing
a whole lot (not for his points, anyway).
