So, I tried this unit out for the very first time last week and it went extremely well! With the large charge range, being a large target, and being able to charge key units (or position behind some trees to set up counter charges) I found the extra 175 pts for this winged nightmare well worth it.
I had a Blood Dragon vampire count mounted on it. The enemy was Empire and Lizardmen, and had 4 warmachines (it actually got hit indirectly with a cannon shot but survived).
However, I don't see them in anyone's army list; why not? WS4, S6 on the charge, 3 attacks I believe, and 4 wounds... it seems pretty good to me.
However I'd only use it with a blood dragon, on anything else it seems a waste.
