Not saying someone can but if they get across the table can you still win?

I like it. It is the equivalent of a guard army in Fantasy

Except guard don't hit on 5s for the majority of the game :/

I still like it. The goal and means to the end are the same. Shoot (or magic) the enemy off the table. I believe the 5+ is irrelevant - just saying this is the kind of army I can get behind.

I suspect it will do quite well against many armies out there, in fact it scares my lizards, damn hellblasters.

Not so scared with Daemons, but probably should be, then again they are daemons and will just come back from the warp tomorrow.

My only real problem with this army is Ogres, right now.

They can blitz the gunline too fast. I'm going to scrap empire for the the time being. I don't think I'm going to get good enough with them between now and Bugeater/WGC.

TL;DR Ogres are broken
