A bit more on a jetbike warlock using destructor- as I have mentioned with the movement of the jetbike it is possible to get into position to blast two units with destructor which I managed to accomplish in my last game agasint tyranids catching two squads of warriors. Another option is to destuctor laying the template so it catches both units while the rest the jetbikes shoot and then assault both units with your jetbikes- although I've found that you better have a big squad to do this.
One question I have but can't seem to find a rule clarification is as illustrated in the bottom picture. Two tyranids sqauds as illustrated. If I shot at one and wiped it out, there is nothing to assault, and now I am out in the open, non-locked assault, to get shot up. Can I use the 6" move of the jetbike in the assault phase to come into base to base contact with another squad and lock them in the assault? I've been playing it "no" since I don't have any hard rules to back up and as such I've sometimes had to pull some shots to leave me something to assault. It would be super sweet to blast two close by squads with destructor, shoot one of the squads to nothing, and then assault move and lock the second. Thoughts?

I'm going to have to agree with the way you've been playing it. While you can still move the 6" in the assault phase, you still have to charge the unit that you shot first, before going after anything else. If you wipe them out, you can't charge anything. The reason for this is that you can't get closer than 1 inch to any unit that you're not charging. It sucks, but them's the breaks.
i second this ruling. you have to charge what you shoot.
