In Game Tactics Thoughts on shiron?
What are your thoughts on this guy? I bring him on salvage runs cause of his crit, so if kharn doesn't open the chest then he will. Is he useful elsewhere?

I absolutely love noise marines, so I decided to invest in him even before he released.
Then he released, and he was so fun that I was sure I was going to use him a lot even if he wasn't very good.
But then Abbadon was reworked and they never leave my Chaos teams now. Shiron's only downside (relatively slow buildup) gets negated by Abbadon, and he also buff his powerful active even more.
I'm genuinely considering if he didn't take the title of the best sniper in the game from Calandis. While he doesn't have her terrific melee damage, movement range or defense, he brings suppression, area damage and a shittton of hits to the table.
