Has anyone used them? Would they be viable in a pure mercenaries army? (assuming they can be taken)

Absolutely. Anyone that can can buff their def does well. Fiona feat, ashlynne feat, and Ossrum/emagnus' Bullet Dodger are notable buffs in mercs that Skarath likes.
Skarath is kinda pillowfisted so bringing damage buffs via solos like Ragman, Rorsh's battleboars, or from your caster also helps.

I didn't think they could be taken.

I didn't think they could be taken. They're merc/minion and are specifically named for inclusion in irregulars. |

I'm guessing you haven't seen minions' "will work for food" theme yet? It's a lesser warlock (& beast) focused theme. Extra run distance turn 1, overtake, and dahlia and all the other lessers count towards free points! |

Magnus2 loves them. Bullet dodger makes for some interesting shenanigans, and Ashlynn being able to admonition them is pretty good too.

The other minion to consider with them is a Mist Walker. Can you say eyeless sight + magic spray?

A local Minion player used them with Sturm and Drang, as Polarity Field is great for a Snake that needs to be up the board spraying stuff.

Knowing I'm not crazy somehow makes it even more crushing.
