Come on GW, at least give Iron Hails detachment

You know them. You kitbashed them into something else. Twelve inch range, M4, they only come with light armor despite having heavy armor on the damn model. And the best part? One lousy model for the points cost of three or so peasants.

Jade warriors currently have detachment, and nothing to use it with but other jade warriors. Letting them fight and skirmish near the front line and give supporting fire for your block of warriors seems a lot closer to the role of grenadiers in historical combined arms armies.

This is not a commentary on army balance in general. It just sucks that what would be a relatively cool unit seems overcosted and useless in game.
