i have one now,

zoantropes (or however theyre spelt)

2+ armour save and a psychic power you dont really have to test for (as it almost never fails)

for about 80 points you get far too much goodness,
synapse
2+ armour and 5or 6+ invulnerable save
people attacking them get negative modifiers
the ability to instant kill most characters with a strength ten power.
a psychic power that you dont have to roll for and can kill almost anything that annoys it.

points-wise they are far too damn efficient and theyre NOT MONSTROUS! so you have to leadership check to target them.....

when ever i see a zoantrope i always use my speeders no leadership test needed and and assualt cannon bye bye mister floating brain.

in fact speeders are always good against nids with an ap4 will kill most models and when it comes 2 the big models u have the rending rule on the assualt cannon

but the assault cannon is only 24" and i believe some smaller more annoying nid creatures can potentially charge 24", but I know what you mean, my Stormtroopers just blasted it to hell last time I saw one, plasma and melta deal with them very easily

DUN DUN DUN

it can kill one model a turn!

RUN FOR THE HILLS!

its a very expensive lascannon.

Most armies have a million ways to increase their leadership so target prority doesnt matter.

and its and independent character so can be targetted esaily and delt with with a few plasma shots which EVERY army has at least one if not about 20. cause that 6+ will save it every turn

and once its been delt with thats one less synapse creature.

yeah but the minor psykic power will blow the crap out your marines... its S6 AP3 I believe, blast if i remember correctly
Also they are much elss than 80points
