Newbie Question: Drukhari Haywire Blasters

Are they worth taking?I read in the Codex that you can take them in Scourge squads or on Talos and follow the basic anti-infantry blast rules, but are they any good vs vehicles?

I have built them that way and I wish I had build them with Blasters.
Being a heavy weapon sucks

I run my talos and scourges with either heat lances or haywire and don't regret it, both have a degree of gambling that I'm fine with, because when they pop off they pop off.

I run my Scourges with Dark Lances sometimes. You have to carefully deploy them,
But 4 D3+3 AP-4 shots hitting on 3+ with a 36" range is quite something to watch after.

Blasters and Shredder are very nice, too, because they can really flap around and choose their targets...

Shredders have suddenly lost a lot of utility with Armor of Contempt being a thing now, especially since Scourges, as far as I know, have no way of ignoring light cover.

Magnets. Magnets everywhere.

HWB will come back into vogue eventually, maybe sooner than later with Knights around the corner.

HWB aren't too shabby vs. hordes either. Granted, I don't know if gant/gaunt/gargoyle hordes are actually a thing in the new nid codex.

It just really sucks that they are heavy. Seemingly for no reason.

I still like the Dark Lances on my Scourges. The tricky part is to deploy them right...

Im not too hot on Lances right now. Too many things in Comp play right now that you need to hit on 4s, wound on 4s, followed by a 4++. Needs a lot of luck to make it thru all those coin-flips, and I am not that lucky.

Plus Aircraft remain a thing that just zip up and go "Please remove those scourge from the table. And that Ravager beside it".

Really hope the Harpie gets hit by a massive nerf bat. Then I just need to worry about CWE Wraith plane and the Wazbomb.
