No, I wasn't thinking that way. It's just significantly cheaper than a
farseer with little loss in capability.

Generally I would say that 1 AT shot is superior to 2 fp. Against units in
the open you have a better chance to hit if they have decent armor. Against
units in cover you will have a better chance to hit than 3 fp in most cases.
The down side is suppression affects SHW more (not a problem in this case as
you have plenty of fp to "soak" the BMs) and they aren't as good in firefights.

That would be nice, but the first casualty and that's gone anyway. The AT
shot will reduce your guaranteed BMs, but one SHW inflicts a BM if you cause
a casualty, so you replace it with a 50/50 chance. Also, your suppression
ability is not significantly reduced by casualties (except the warlock, of
course). On the down side, that detachment was all short range, and the FP
will be more useful in a firefight. Overall, I'd still go with the
wraithguard just for rpice and survivability.
