I've often considered using one of the children as a TDR style monstrous 
creature but the bio plasma and acid spray in the rules just aren't 
powerful enough to match the real life version.

Dropping 4 stealers gains you 64 points immediately, then they can 
consolidate into two units of 10.

They aren't really worth it unless you just want a throwaway unit to tie

God punished me 4 years ago when he dropped me smack dab in the middle of 
this newgroup; which is really unfair, considering he used to just turn 
people to salt or send frogs and grasshoppers to fuck with them.
