What in 40k has an Initiative of 8 or higher. because what is the point of giving a broodlord adrenal glands.
Thommy H:
Is Initiative still used to determine how far a unit flees?
Servius:
it never was… it was to determine whether or not you fleed.

Brood Lords I7
So if you want to strike before these. Its not a large number of models but that’s why its only 4 points. If you don’t feel it is useful don’t buy it. But this wouldn’t be the first option of dubious value in a codex. It is thinking like that that slaughtered the Chaos codex.
monkeigh:
Archons have access to combat drugs (and honestly who doesn’t give their Archon drugs and a shadowfield?) so most of the time he can achieve I8. Then again, DE are a pretty uncommon army. For just 4 points it’s probably worth including.
