Yup. The legendary Sardaukar; even I love them. In Emperor: Battle for Dune I sometimes (in SP campaign) use entire armies of them alone to sweep clean everything from the map. Nothing but a giant worm ("Old man of the desert") could stop them. The massed infantry firepower and the anti-tank/aircraft lasers annihilate even the smaller worms quickly enough before any real harm was done. Though the Fremen are greatly underpowered from the novel, which they beats even Sardaukar head on. Paul Atreides was supposed to launch a Jihad across the universe with them, in fact, had he not achieved the status of the next emperor through blackmail before that.

Oh, and I just thought a Bene Gesserit "hero" unit in an "inside the building/cave/whatever small space which you can't build a base on" mission to use and fight against would be extremely fun.
