The name I gave them is because the ultimate goal is to finally assemble and paint the Spartan, which can then haul these 20 duellists along to the opponent's side of the table... and unleash quick attacking goodness.
Of course, this squad gives some other options as well, coming armed with it's two flamers, the icon (because heck, we will be facing a lot of Imperials at the club), champion with plasma pistol and powerclaw, and all the marines armed with chainswords for a flurry of attacks.
I can stick 10 of them in a Rhino instead in smaller battles, or even if I got the points to spare, upgrade them to Noise Marines for even more attacks (albeit the flamers won`t be along then).
But combined with the first striking special rule of the Emperor's Children legion, this makes this squad a very, very handy tool for striking the enemy battleline... and result in blood and gory extasy should it even happen to be non-power armoured opponents like mushy squishy guardsmen...
And it adds a hefty 307 points to the Legion, bringing the painted total now to 4639 points done.
Now to get that tank assembled one of these days...
