I'm trying my hand at forming some data sheets to make my SoB apocalypse army more.... apocolypse.
So here goes my first try.
Punishing Fire Exorcist Battery
Exorcist Squad of 2+ Exorcists (max 3)
150pts + models
Punish the Wicked. If all exorcists in the battery nominate a single target to fire at in the shooting phase they get an extra D6 missile shots added for every exorcist in the formation that is not the command tank. Therefore 2 exorcists would get 1 extra D6 missiles and 3 would get 2 extra D6 missiles. All tanks must have line of sight for this to work.
Holy Detachment. All tanks must be deployed within 6” of the command tank and must maintain coherency to use this function. If the command tank is destroyed the formation is broken.
So there you have it. I didnt want to just go with the large 10" template as the exorcist isnt ordnance, it just didnt feel right. I basically made it to be a heavy vehicle killer. I think it might be a bit overkill though and might tone it down with D3 extra rather than D6. The stats go something like this.
5D6 rolled at a heavy vehicle.
Avg of 17 missles gained.
4's to hit gives around 8/9
Str 8 missiles against the usual armour of heavies is a full 14 but with Ap 1 missiles, armour penetration is automatic, so its a penetrating hit on a 6
1/2 of the original hits will penetrate.
It can of course kill a baneblade in one if the roller is lucky with the missile count. Thats why with 3 exorcists and the formation cost is 505pts. The same as the super heavy it is designed to kill.
The fact you'd need a 6 on AP to do any damage at all makes this formation work to me. What do you guys think?
