Forgive me if this has been discussed to death before, but in the new eldar codex it makes quite plainly that the heavy weapon platforms don't count as anything. You can't draw line of sight to them or use them in terms of range, etc, and you can even put them in transports now.

So the question is why pay the money to get them? I modeled a scatter laser onto a guardian model and it looks awesome. Especially because the guardian model is a girl, so its completely ridiculous, in a good way. Why not just have the weapon modeled on one guardian, designate another guardian (in some way viewable on the model) as the second operator, and there you go.

As it is, it seems like actually having the heavy weapon platform model on the board would just get in the way.
