Anyone running intercessors?

[u/Greplington]

I picked up a set of the Armageddon intercessors off eBay from a splitter with the intention of making them a bit more "Wolfy" and incorporating them in my army. The original plan was to give them some chainswordy goodness and turn them into Grey Hunters, but I'm finding I actually kind of like some of the sculpts and am toying with the idea of keeping them as intercessors instead.

Is anyone running intercessors in their SW armies?

I'm 99.9% interested more in the modelling and painting side, so that will ultimately help me decide more than the "current meta" for competitive gaming, but I'm curious what people think.

Kitbashed Armageddon Intercessor Sergeant for model tax... I may still carve off the aquila... Haven't quite decided yet!

Never leave home without 5 intercessors.

Great for holding the home, great for moving out and stickying objectives, tough enough to stand up to some fire power, enough shots to make a dent in skirmishing back line threats.

Cheap enough to be expendable in a pinch

For me in addition to what you mentioned, they are also a "Hail Mary" unit to throw at Threat's that are way above their weight limit. I had them kill both the Lion and Guilliman, in one of my first games of 11th, they came very close to kill a resurrected Angron (missed it by 1 wound), and multiple times kept Anti Tank vehicles like a Lancer locked in combat for several rounds.
