I haven't tried it, but that sounds like a cool idea. I've mostly tested them in kobold heavy armies, but 90 pt clean up in another army might not be a bad idea as long as you have the hex space for them (6 is not insignificant). I'm sure there are some armies where that could work. I'm suspecting their swarming and avenge nature will make them pretty versatile, as well as all the different army types they can be built around.
I do like how they are not necessarily as good swarmers as the drones (physically weaker and a bit more demanding to build around, if more reliable) and not as efficient beaters as the Death Chasers (factoring in the cost of a dead warrior and especially that they lack bonding) but that they can straddle the line between the two and try to use both roles to their advantage as the game progresses. In the abstract, you would want to be swarming with them early to get them in position and drop low defense foes and then avenge in the late game when there are fewer left.
