3 Cronos distraction carnifex

Cronos are just as durable as talos, and cost less. Group of 3, one with the spirit vortex. Shoot vortex up to 18”, then use fire and fade to go an extra 7”.

They aren’t as scary in CC but can lock enemies up in combat.

Thoughts?

It could work against an opponent who doesn't know the Dark Eldars well.
But anyone knowing how much Chronos sucks will simply ignore them and the points spent on them will be wasted.

My unit of 3 Talos always reach the enemy lines on turn 2 with, at most, one lose and they can't be ignored because they will wreck havoc. 3 Chronos reaching the enemy lines won't do much beside tying units.

Seems like a waste when the Talos does this better, and can actually do more than tie down units.

Cronos is one of our stinker units.

I did rough math a while ago and IIRC it was something like you break even if buffing at least 10 Grots or 4 Talos compared to spending those same points on more Grots or Talos.
