I would do it as you suggest. Bit of a one trick pony. They suffer even more than chaos dreds suffer than marine dreds from transport issues.

Only other way I see is knocking up the speed to a whopping 25cm so they can keep up with Land Raiders, though i guess in that case the stats would come down.

It would be nice if they could drop themselves in (imagine the legs :) ) but then they would heavily compete with dreds. I guess it becomes dreds for drop, these chaps for garrisons.

Though I can hardly talk, i used them twice, both times in LaD lists as arty units before the points cost went up (as you could have a fair number of them and stripped down infantry formations and overwhelm enemy).

Oh LaD wise they will be okay regardless as they are fielded as a dedicated formation and losing indrect would make them easier to point and cheaper to use.

If I ever get round to converting some defilers, I'd certainly give trc's stats a try. Unfortunately, my modelling skills are somewhat limited!

trc, you don't like the idea of boosting the CC to 3+?

I would base it on comparisons to the chaos dred. How much better is a defiler in 40k? If it is say 3 times as good the total average hits would be 3 times as much. You then get that with its base to hit chance x the number of attacks, factoring in MW how you feel appropriate.

Saying all this I don't know how much assault testing they received, I can't recall ever actually fighting an assault with them, they were too busy conducting bombardments.

So for the 40k players what is the relative power level between them?
