Aliase Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 What are the thoughts on the ministorum priest? Has anyone tried a list with one? I was looking at the war hymns and thinking that an extra attack with repentia might be nice. You could load up a repressor with 6 repentia, the mistress, the priest and maybe take two death cult assassins. Would love to hear how the priest has done in battle. I have a lovely sister of sigmar I can convert :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/338460-ministorum-priest/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Burton Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I find the priest does OK with repentia, but he makes an expensive package. He really shines with Arco-flagellants, giving an extra d3 attacks each. Load the crazies in a rhino and point it at a big nasty unit and swamp em with armor saves.

dracpanzer Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I have had nice effect with Repentia, Mistress and a Priest. Though I am not sure they needed it. I got etter results with an Imagifer toting along. Check on having the Priest ride along in the Repressor, I believe they need the <order> keyword to do so.

Aliase Posted August 21, 2017 Author Share Posted August 21, 2017 Thanks all. Drac you are right...repressor does say "order." Darn it. Did you just foot slog your little group then I take it? I am mostly just excited about my conversion lol and was looking for a way to make it worth the points.

Kinstryfe Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 My priest experience is with Astra Militarum, but some of it may be applicable cross-army. The best use I've found (other than mega conscript squads) is hanging out with units hanging onto objectives. The extra attacks and possible extra weapons (eviscerator) can help in a pinch if you have to absorb a charge. Not as useful as running along with combat monsters, but does pack a nice punch in a pinch.

Beams Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I throw all my support units into a rhino, and my Repentia (9) and a mistress (10) into a Repressor. They jump out and murder things. The priest helps my hardcore eviscerator Cannoness deal more.damage too, and he's not too shabby with a power mail/axe.

Servant of Dante Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 I'd be more excited to take them if they still provided even a little morale mitigation, but they don't anymore.

dracpanzer Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 I made the mistake of putting the priest in the repressor for a game. Found out afterwards it was illegal. Thankfully the priest and repentia really had no effect on the game. I tend to use small squads to avoid morale issues but have been trying out two full squads of BSS and was able to use the morale strategem to avoid any real issues with it.

ERJAK Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 He's mandatory with close combat units but those aren't very good anyway. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/338460-ministorum-priest/#findComment-4864660 Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.T. Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Death cultists I find can run without one. Arcos and Repentia get far greater returns but I wouldn't mix/match death cultists into the same unit - go for the biggest arco/repentia squad you can fit.

A.T. Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 You can't mix match in the same unit In the sense of cramming them into the same rhino as per original post.

Ficinus Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 As people have said, priests are great with Arco-flagellants giving them 3D3 attacks per model. I've found they're also good with Death Cult Assassins, even if they're not completely necessary. I take a Rhino with seven Assassins, a Priest, and a Canoness and the Priest's buff is pretty useful for both the Assassins and the Canoness. It's a cheap way to get seven extra Assassin attacks and one extra Canoness attack.

Neoslate Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Just to be sure now before I take 4 with me on Wednesday, the priest aura doesn't stack does it?

librisrouge Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Just to be sure now before I take 4 with me on Wednesday, the priest aura doesn't stack does it? No. Units do not benefit from more than 1 of the exact same rule. Sorry (otherwise, I'd have conscripts with 5 attacks each :)) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/338460-ministorum-priest/#findComment-4870526 Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it just said units within 6 get +1 attack it would stack I'd think, right?

Aliase Posted August 29, 2017 Author Share Posted August 29, 2017 I am hoping maybe there is some buff or incentive to use the priest when our codex comes out. I will hold out hope til then :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/338460-ministorum-priest/#findComment-4871611 Share on other sites More sharing options...
