They are not bad honestly And im 100% sure they will be great when the codex comes out (squad bonus and cheaper).
You need the Crystal Matrix thingy, its only 5pts but lets you move and shoot Heavy without penalty, sense its main gun is heavy.
The main thing for the Nightspinner is the Range and anti-LoS shooting. Its REALLY good at killing artillery and units hiding on objectives.
As of right now its a bit Pricey, 170pts (with Matrix).
