pinning would be great, except that Ld is hardly a crutch in 40k... most units are Ld8 or 9 with their squad leaders upgraded to vet status. sure you can pick on the UC leader in the squad, but again, so many units still have that base Ld8 that it really doesn't make a huge difference.
now, times i can see a vindicare becoming a god-send;
- picking out those ass-can wielding termies
- picking out a chaos squad's icon bearer
- exarch hunting
- meltagun/flamer/heavy weapon trooper hunting
- setting up for rapid fire baiting
of corse there's loads more uses, but in general the vinidcare requires a lot of luck to be worth his pts... in a guard army, you may as well take either the T2 ratlings or else the 3 snipers allowed in a special weapons squad.
cheers!
