Having to reveal the OM on Grodd to use his mind control means I'm not using it often in this build, unless there's a figure I REALLY want to take like a Human Torch.

Yeah, the trade off of having to not use your efficient simian turn to take an attempt with Grodd is the downside of this army. That said, it can also be a good way to bait the opponent into coming to you, which is nice when you have a swarming melee army.
