What a massive barrel of mediocrity and disappointment.
Unless Gravitrons are exceedingly good the Centurions are going to suck.
Hmmm for 180 points you get 9 TL Str 5 shots + 18 TL Str 4 shots....that's a lot of Dakka. If they have W2 and a 2+/5++ save then that's a lot better for mass shots than any devastator squad you can put out there. I wouldn't say no to something on the order of 13 wounds on an MEQ per turn.
They got 2+ with no invulsave s5 t5, atleast thats what 40k radio says.
It's the special rules that are gonna make SM obliterators the nuts. *groan*
