This thing is, ultimately, the most cost effective infantry shredder in the game. It's dirt cheap and it comes fully buffed with four small blasts that reroll hits and have the Shred special rule, along with the Ignores Cover rule! Consider using this when you have a hole to plug in your army list and can't fit a Leman Russ variant in it.
For what it brings, footslogging Orks can kiss their asses goodbye, as AP6 means it's just enough to ignore their armor, and it ignores cover. A good strategy is that this thing runs in support of long range tank busting and finishing off dismounted infantry. Another thing to consider is the Shred special rule. It rerolls failed wounds. This is powerful not only against Orks and Tyranids, but MEQs will have to roll real well to not lose half their squad to one barrage of this tank.
