40k Analysis What do you think is your faction's most useless Unit?

To the level that it almost never makes it into your lists, or seen others run them much except as a meme. Running a survey here, trying to find out whether other factions have these as well.

The correct answer is the guard Cyclops. No other unit does as little. They had a weird niche back in the start of 10th when they could do actions, but after they changed that for OC 0... the Cyclops stopped doing anything. Weird unit to survive the imperial armor purge.

I'd argue they still had some use when they were 25 points. But now that they're 40? There's no reason to bring a unit that has a 1/6th chance to do literally nothing at all

I dunno, the 145 point Aegis Defense wall is pretty meme, and more useless in 11th than it was in 10th

Aegis at least can act as a speed bump for enemy melee across a whole line. If I had to include one or the other, I would rather spend 145 and make the wall work over wasting 40 points on a Cyclops.
