Tunneling NR units; What have they done for you?

OK- so I'm hoping to get some positive tunneling NR stories here. Something like "rear charged a unit of Plague Bearers on turn 2 and made them, and their Herald, 'pop!'".

I'd like to start, but I've got nothing so far.

I've taken them 4 times:
#1- Arrived on turn 6. By then my Gutter Runners had already taken out the Empire cannon and Mortar, and held table quarters. The tunnelers contributed nothing.
#2- Partial collapse on turn 2. Only 6 of 20 survived the strength test (you don't need to be a powerlifter when you stab people in the back for a living, I suppose), then they LOST (never to rally) against a High Elf bolt thrower crew (which got lucky and ASF'd the Grinder Team). Elves were later less than lucky and got shredded by the Gutter Runners.
#3- Arrived on turn 2 and scattered to be placed under a unit of Saurus. They got chopped up (needing to place them at the unit's front didn't help; I had been hoping to try a rear charge).
#4- Cave in on turn 3 or 4. 'Nuf said.

Have yours done better? Even worse (if that's possible)? Stories here...

For me in 6th ed, they trapped the crew of a RBT (Blader's) and destroyed it automatically. I only took them that game
In 7th ed... Nothing

Not a typo mate. I liked the name Blitz inadvertantly gave him.

I've only used mine once with outstanding success! They killed a big unit of Orcs with a flank charge.

Mixed success for me. Did great against Empire killing a large unit of handgunners on a hill and panicking a nearby cannon.
Against Dwarfs scattered onto the Dwarf lord and his hammerer bodyguard and suffered their inevitable fate.

Gutter runners have been more effective for me.
