Couple of weaknesses here.

what happens when your opponent prep bombardments the CoS?
Does the other guy have a screen of troops in front to slow you down in the
assault phase? And nothin says he has to shoot the cult of speed. He
might plaster the boyz or both.

THis is a tactical problem though. Not a problem with a single unit/wpn
being a game breaker. The tactical problem can be dealt with tacticaly
instead of countering with cheesey units.
