Decapitator as an IC?

[Dunadan]

Has anyone tried running Decapitator from the DE book as an independent character? Is he just as bad, playable, or op?

He seems like he'd still be over-priced even if he were an IC. He should really have a 4++ and even then he'd need to be a bit cheaper. Being an IC, however, would help a lot in his role of lopping the head off of the biggest thing he can find, not to mention giving the mandrake squad he's attached to a pain token so they can wreak havoc with baleblast.
