They dont require line of Sight and each has 2 str8 AP4 shots at 24" range. Now that cover is 5+ its nice to have a couple of them at 1500p.

The doom is not an IC, he is just unique. He is not an upgrade zoan, and must always be alone.
Hive Guard are sweet, even with vehicles being easier to deal with in 6th. Ignoring line of sight and almost all forms of cover is really powerful, and they come with a good gun to do all that silly stuff with (24" Assault 2 S8 AP4). They are T6 with a 4+ save, so Immortals are the best way to deal with them.

Well from what i belive, it is good to have a Broodlord in a 10 man unit, he is great in CC and his psychic powers, along with those you can choose from the rulebook, make him both a nice squad leader and a Brood supporter, he can also mess up enemy LD.
And you must be meaning charging through terrain. Well no they dont have grenades and only have a 5+ save, but they are FAST so, dont put them in terrain before charging! simple...
But now they cannot charge after infiltrating, so one way is to take lots of units of 10 for distractions, another is to put a broodlord there and go rambo with Psychic powers. Their lack of invuls and Termagant save means they wont stand against a round of bolter fire, broodlord can actually survive, but on his own the chances are slim...

I only see broodlords pop up in psker spam lists, or as a 1-of in a "commando" unit specifically to go character hunting. Either way he shows up in small broods since normal stealers suck so bad in 6th. Do not underestimate a broodlord. Unlike normal stealers, he can bring death and misery to anyone he challenges, especially if he gets a good biomancy power.
Be aware that your opponent may try to reroll witchfire powers on the broodlord, don't let him (unless you don't mind). The rules don't let you reroll your powers just because you have BS0 (meaning you would auto-miss with the power, as per the zero characteristics section).
