Plus people like to get rid of rough Riders quickly if they're facing them, leaving the rest of your troops somewhat out of the firing line for a short while. |
the main problem though is that the rough riders aren't that difficult to kill... a single heavy bolter support squad for example or tailored platoon HQ can easily wreck the RR's on their own.
perhaps if they were a bit more resilient such as T4 or a 3+ save for a decent pts increase they might be a bit more of a threat...
as of right now, i'd never use them beyond background purposes as they're not a greatly competitive unit.
cheers!
