Sounds about right, although Los Diablos has Immunity - All and Weakness: can only be damaged by it's intended victim, so I'm not sure if Immunity to Radiation is necessary.  I suppose that if the victim tries to use radiation to fry it that it wouldn't work... yah, that works!

I'll have to see if I can track down the sound of skittering bugs that I can place on an MP3 to play for them as they hear it....  heh, heh!

Yah, there's something fairly satisfying about it! 

This actually works out quite well, as they've killed off a couple of Servitors of Pestilence.  A Cockroach hoard works as Pestilence's revenge quite nicely!  :-)

Thanks for the ideas, guys!
