They are fantastic, just take 3 of these buggers, we are talkin only a handful of points here. And just slap these suckers in cover, go to ground, whenever you get shot at, and you'll annoy the hell out of your opponent. I've had one ratling withstand the entire firepower of a platoon, and live to tell the tale about it. Ratlings aren't that great offensively, and they can't hold objectives, so your opponent will ignore them mostly. But they are only 30 points for 3! that's a 30 point unit! where else are you gunna get that?
So if they kill a few of the enemy, and if they get shot at, at all, then they have made up their points, because lets say the unit firing at them is a squad of 5 space marines, those guys are almost 3 times the price, and the ratlings have a better save here if they go to ground, and that means those marines, aren't killing your more valuable guardsmen! (more valuable guardsmen... when has that ever been said?) so yeah, just pointin out a good unit that I've been toying with.
Oh, and if you're like me, and hate the idea of weird lookin snipers hobblin about your battlefields, try buying a set of catachan snipers for around $15 you get a unit of 3. Or just green stuff a few guardsmen as snipers, that's pretty much what I did.
