Subject: Codex: Adeptus Ministorum (Revised) - Updated 04 July! (Spoiler and PDF download pg 2!)
Just gonna go ahead and post things as I see em ( I love home-brew codices xD )
But WHOA dude. bottle grenades are WAAAAAAAAYYYYY too good for their points cost, and availability.
the difference between a boltgun and a storm bolter is HUGE. They should be probably about 10 points in this case, certainly not a meager 1 point.
I think that allowing an entire squad to have melta bombs is a relic of 4th ed codecies. not sure though... but if this is the case, might want to consider just allowing one model to take melta bombs
Redemptionist leader gets more attacks than space marine heroes for half the points..? especially looking at how you can slap a rosarius on the guy for 90 points, give him a power weapon, and he's running around at a decent WS, ton of attacks, re-rolling wounds, letting his squad re-roll wounds and allowing some really quite good (for the price) elite mobs to be taken as an alternatives to your normal troop choices
your work gangers are too cheap, the deacon should NOT have leadership 10, nor should he have a rosarius. The stand strong with faith thing is just insanely good.
this army is even more hordy than IG. but seems to be IG flavored. I would compare what you've made to what they have and say this to yourself: "is this better than what they have? is it worth fewer points?" if the answer to both of those is yes, then you need to make adjustments.
also, right now this army has only one play style. Horde. make units that allow for some diversity.

Hammer of wrath is at I10, so Self destruct taking place exactly after it is confusing. I would just make self destruct I10 naturally.
The Flaming Brand is basically AP6 with poisoned (5+) (actually, a worse poisoned 5+). That's ok but not very special. I would want to see this maybe be a bit different
Shock Prod: I would just give this concussive for the purposes of simplicity.
Cardinals: Why is he BS6 if he is an assault based unit (based off of his act of faith). Personally, I would reverse it, making him WS6 BS4, or WS5 BS5. I would also make the bolter a free exchange, and reduce the cost of the condemner bolt-gun (assuming it is the same weapon from the GK codex, which isn't very good and definitely isn't worth 15 points)
Arch-Deacon: Same as Cardinals. Make him WS5 BS4.
Redemptionist Leader: See previous comments about the Flaming Brand and Bolters. I'd also loose the maximum size clause on redemtionist mobs. It seems awkward.
Confessor: Make the Bolt Pistol Standard, make the Shotgun or Bolter upgrade free, make the Storm Bolter and the Condemner Bolter cost 5 points, and it should be good.
Missionary: See the comments for the Confessor.
Redemptionists: Am I missing something? Bottle grenades do NOT seem like they are worth 15 points per model. Maybe 2 to 3, although I would make them an upgrade for the entire unit. They also strike me as a tad cheap for a model that has 3 attacks base.
Missionaries: I might have missed what the missionary roles do, but I don't see them in your fandex.
Militia: See previous bottle grenades comment. Was the old version of these busted or something?
Servo-Skulls: Seems like a waste to give them multi-shot 3 then only let them take crappy lasguns, but they are probably balanced.
For Heavy Suport, perhaps an old-codex-style orbital bombardment is in order?

Ok, sounds good, and less confusing! Changing now

Cardinals aren't really meant to be all combaty, so I'll change his act of faith. Also, the condemner boltgun is the one from the SoB codex, unsure if it's the same in the GK one, though. Suggestions for a replacement act of faith?
Arch-Deacon: Same as Cardinals. Make him WS5 BS4.
Same as above
Redemptionist Leader: See previous comments about the Flaming Brand and Bolters. I'd also loose the maximum size clause on redemtionist mobs. It seems awkward.
See flaming brand. Also, will do
Confessor: Make the Bolt Pistol Standard, make the Shotgun or Bolter upgrade free, make the Storm Bolter and the Condemner Bolter cost 5 points, and it should be good.
I was more or less basing him exactly of the SoB version, but, yeah, the SoB version was overpriced...
Missionary: See the comments for the Confessor.
Noted

For bottle grenades, see militia. Will change the cost to something similar. I'll either reduce the attacks or increase the cost of each redemptionists.
Missionaries: I might have missed what the missionary roles do, but I don't see them in your fandex.
Haven't entirely figured out what they'll do, so they haven't been included yet.
Militia: See previous bottle grenades comment. Was the old version of these busted or something?
The old version of the bottle grenades (for 5 points) were Over powered, so I upped the price. I then made them less OP but didn't change the cost... Will fix!
Servo-Skulls: Seems like a waste to give them multi-shot 3 then only let them take crappy lasguns, but they are probably balanced.
I'll probably add some other guns, any you'd recommend (or anyone else, for that matter, remebering that they are a human skull, so not very large...)
Thank you for your critism, should have a new version soon!

Ok! Updated! Are the new Acts of Faith for the Cardinal and Arch-Deacon good?

Sorry, missed your post!
Oh God I love to add this... unsure if it would fit with fluff though, as it was the inquisitors that had acces to this.
I'll see!
Orbital Bombardments definitely not fluffy for a Ministorum force.
I should point out, however, that this should just be an extended Sister of Battle codex. Since, you know, the Sisters of Battle are the army of the Adeptus Ministorum.
"That time I only loaded the cannon with powder. Next time, I will fill it with jewels and diamonds and they will cut you to shrebbons!" - Nogbad the Bad.
Orbital bombardment is very different from Exterminatus. The Imperial Navy, for instance, uses orbital bombardment, and I would have thought any fleet would have at least some armed portions to it?

Yes, it would. However, the Ministorum aren't allowed fleet assets.
Preachers have to make their own way around. The only time the Ministorum has fleet assets is when they convince the Navy to lend them a transport to get their Sisters somewhere.
"That time I only loaded the cannon with powder. Next time, I will fill it with jewels and diamonds and they will cut you to shrebbons!" - Nogbad the Bad.
Well, I'd have said that they'd NEVER send an undefended transport, so there'd always be at least one ship capable of bombardment. But, I'm pretty sure there's no definitive answer in the fluff, so let's not get off topic. It's down to Matt at the end of the day

For Fast Attack, you could include some civilian transport vehicles and Arbite repressor teams.
Something like a Cargo-8 with bolt-on heavy stubbers, or the old Cult Limousine from the Genestealer Cult list.

If you're not worried about duplicating units, perhaps a unit of Battle Sisters as an Elites choice? I imagine if they're not fighting in a full Order there may be supply issues, so there's scope for rules changes there, but equally if they were supplied they'd be a good place to put some special weapons...

I think that that is a good idea! Will add something similar!

Sounds like a good idea! Though, admittedly, that's what allies are for...
Unsure on orbital bombardment, so for now I won't include it.
Now, what FOC Slot would Acro-Flagents and Penitent Engines go under? Acro-Flagents nver seemed like an Elites choice to me in the old C:WH, I thoght they'd be better off as a fast attack choice, but they aren't overly fast... Similarly, Penitent Engines seem more like a FA choice than a HS choice...
Adeptus Ministorum Special Rules: Shield of Faith: Grants the model a 6+ invulnerable save Acts of Faith: Faith Points: At the start of each of your movement phase you generate D6 faith points. This is how many acts of faith you may attempt to perform this turn. Any unused faith points are lost. Acts of Faith: Acts of faith are performed before the unit acts during that phase, e.g. immediately before the unit moves in the movement phase. Each attempt reduces the number of faith points by 1. To attempt an act of faith, roll a D6 and add the following: +1 if the unit is led by, or has been joined by, a model with the ‘Leader of Faith’ special rule. +2 if the unit is joined by a model with the ‘Commander of Faith’ special rule. +1 if the unit has taken 1 casualty. Note that all modifiers are cumulative. If the total is less than 5, then the act of faith fails. The Faith Point is lost and nothing happens. If the total is equal to or greater than 5, the Act of Faith is successful and the unit immediately gains a bonus and/or special rules until the end of the phase, unless specified in the individual Act of Faith’s rules. If the unit is joined by an independent character that has the Acts of Faith special rule, that independent character benefits from the bonus and/or special rules gained by the Act of Faith. Similarly, a unit with the Act of Faith rule gains the bonus/special rules of the independent character’s Act of Faith. Each Act of Faith attempt is counted as separately, so you roll a separate D6 and use up a different faith point for each Act of Faith the unit and independent character attempts. Righteous Fury: A model with this special rule has the Hatred special rule, as does their squad Uncanny Reflexes: 5+ Invulnerable Save Multi Shot: Models with this rule may shoot a weapon as many times in one shooting phase as indicated in parenthesis. Self-Destruct: Instead of making a normal attack in the assault phase, a model with this rule may attempt to self-destruct. Self-Destruct occurs at I10. Roll a D6. On a 1 nothing happens and the model may not attack normally. On a 2, 3 or 4 nothing happens and the model may attack normally. On a 5 or 6 the model self-destructs. Every model in base contact (including friendly models) takes D3 strength 4 AP 6 hits that ignore cover saves. Wounds taken are treated as if from shooting and therefore do not count towards the assault result.
Adeptus Ministorum Special Weapons:
Shock Whip: Range StrAP Type - User 5 Melee, Concussive, Snag Snag: All models in base contact have their attacks reduced by 1 (to a minimum of 1)
Flaming Brand: Range StrAP Type - Special 6 Melee, Burning Burning: Always wounds on a 5+, even if a lower roll is required. Any model that takes an unsaved wound, but is not removed as a casualty, must take a toughness test. If failed they take a single strength 2 hit that automatically hits the model and ignores armour and cover saves. Stimm Injectors: A model equipped with Stimm Injectors have the Rage, Fleets, Fearless and Furious Charge Special Rule. They are also able to move up to 12” in the movement phase, instead of the usual 6”
Holy Orb: Any models with the Daemon special rule that are in base contact with a model possessing this item are instantly with ab attach with the following profile: Range StrAP Type - - - Blind
Destabilising Charm: Any model with the Daemon special rule that deep strike within 6” of a model with this item must roll on the Deep Strike mishap table, re-rolling any 5’s or 6’s.
Holy Sword: Range StrAP Type - User 3 Melee, Holy, Specialist Weapon Holy: Gains the Flesh Bane special rule when used against any model with the Daemon special rule
Bottle Grenades: Bottle grenades can be used when you are charging or being charged in the assault phase. They may also be thrown in the shooting phase (as per the 6th Edition Warhammer 40000 rulebook) Whenever a bottle grenade is used, roll a D6 on the table bellow 1 Explodes in your hand! Unit using the grenades takes D6 wounds at str 2 AP- 2 Dud. Nothing happens 3 or 4 If in the assault phase counts as defensive and assault grenades, if thrown in the shooting phase, causes D3 wounds at str 3 AP6 5 or 6 If in the assault phase counts as defensive and assault grenades, if thrown in the shooting phase, causes D6 wounds at str 3 AP6

Admittedly, this is a kinda small update, but an update none the less.
Still working on vehicles.
Now all I need are some good ideas for a heavy support choice...
Spoiler:
Adeptus Ministorum Special Rules:
Shield of Faith:
Grants the model a 6+ invulnerable save
Acts of Faith:
Faith Points:
At the start of each of your movement phase you generate D6 faith points. This is how many acts of faith you may attempt to perform this turn. Any unused faith points are lost.
Acts of Faith:
Acts of faith are performed before the unit acts during that phase, e.g. immediately before the unit moves in the movement phase. Each attempt reduces the number of faith points by 1. To attempt an act of faith, roll a D6 and add the following:
+1 if the unit is led by, or has been joined by, a model with the ‘Leader of Faith’ special rule.
+2 if the unit is joined by a model with the ‘Commander of Faith’ special rule.
+1 if the unit has taken 1 casualty.
Note that all modifiers are cumulative.
If the total is less than 5, then the act of faith fails. The Faith Point is lost and nothing happens. If the total is equal to or greater than 5, the Act of Faith is successful and the unit immediately gains a bonus and/or special rules until the end of the phase, unless specified in the individual Act of Faith’s rules.
If the unit is joined by an independent character that has the Acts of Faith special rule, that independent character benefits from the bonus and/or special rules gained by the Act of Faith. Similarly, a unit with the Act of Faith rule gains the bonus/special rules of the independent character’s Act of Faith. Each Act of Faith attempt is counted as separately, so you roll a separate D6 and use up a different faith point for each Act of Faith the unit and independent character attempts.
Righteous Fury:
A model with this special rule has the Hatred special rule, as does their squad
Uncanny Reflexes:
5+ Invulnerable Save
Multi Shot:
Models with this rule may shoot a weapon as many times in one shooting phase as indicated in parenthesis.
Self-Destruct:
Instead of making a normal attack in the assault phase, a model with this rule may attempt to self-destruct. Self-Destruct occurs at I10. Roll a D6. On a 1 nothing happens and the model may not attack normally. On a 2, 3 or 4 nothing happens and the model may attack normally. On a 5 or 6 the model self-destructs.
Every model in base contact (including friendly models) takes D3 strength 4 AP 6 hits that ignore cover saves. Wounds taken are treated as if from shooting and therefore do not count towards the assault result.
A Servant to the Master:
A model with this special rule is bought as wargear. They are treated as such except they have a profile and may take wargear of their own. They take up a transport capacity spot like any other model and must remain within 2” of the model that purchased them as wargear. If they are slain, then they are removed from play as normal and nothing else happens. As they are wargear, they are removed from play when the model that is ‘equipped’ with them is removed from play.
Adeptus Ministorum Special Weapons:
Shock Whip:
Range StrAP Type
- User 5 Melee, Concussive, Snag
Snag: All models in base contact have their attacks reduced by 1 (to a minimum of 1)
Flaming Brand:
Range StrAP Type
- Special 6 Melee, Burning
Burning: Always wounds on a 5+, even if a lower roll is required. Any model that takes an unsaved wound, but is not removed as a casualty, must take a toughness test. If failed they take a single strength 2 hit that automatically hits the model and ignores armour and cover saves.
Stimm Injectors:
A model equipped with Stimm Injectors have the Rage, Fleets, Fearless and Furious Charge Special Rule. They are also able to move up to 12” in the movement phase, instead of the usual 6”
Holy Orb:
Any models with the Daemon special rule that are in base contact with a model possessing this item are instantly with ab attach with the following profile:
Range StrAP Type
- - - Blind
Destabilising Charm:
Any model with the Daemon special rule that deep strike within 6” of a model with this item must roll on the Deep Strike mishap table, re-rolling any 5’s or 6’s.
Holy Sword:
Range StrAP Type
- User 3 Melee, Holy, Specialist Weapon
Holy: Gains the Flesh Bane special rule when used against any model with the Daemon special rule
Bottle Grenades:
Bottle grenades can be used when you are charging or being charged in the assault phase.
They may also be thrown in the shooting phase (as per the 6th Edition Warhammer 40000 rulebook)
Whenever a bottle grenade is used, roll a D6 on the table bellow
1 Explodes in your hand! Unit using the grenades takes D6 wounds at str 2 AP-
2 Dud. Nothing happens
3 or 4 If in the assault phase counts as defensive and assault grenades, if thrown in the shooting phase, causes D3 wounds at str 3 AP6
5 or 6 If in the assault phase counts as defensive and assault grenades, if thrown in the shooting phase, causes D6 wounds at str 3 AP6
Shock Prod:
Range StrAP Type
- +1 5 Melee, Concussive

Only a minor change, so I haven't added a new download. Added some stuff to Stimm Injectors to make them less over powered and a 'Must take' option.
Also to make them more fluffy does it make sense, though?
Spoiler:
Stimm Injectors:
A model equipped with Stimm Injectors have the Rage, Fleet, Fearless and Furious Charge Special Rule. They are also able to move up to 12” in the movement phase, instead of the usual 6”. In addition, at the end of every assault phase, non-vehicle models equipped with Stimm Injectors take a single hit with the following profile:
Range StrAP Type
- 2 2 Assault 1, Ignores Cover
Wounds caused by Stimm Injectors are distributed randomly amongst models in the same unit equipped with them.
Vehicles equipped with Stimm Injectors instead roll a D6. On a 2+, nothing happens. If a 1 is rolled, the vehicle takes a single glancing hit that can be ignored by a successful invulnerable save.
Also, should I make servo skull swarms type Jump Beast?
What I do for something like this is in some of my recent posts here on dakka. I have been working on a homemade conversion recipe for making my own BOB army (Brothers of battle). The general fluff for the sisters of battle and rules work perfectly for them so I use official rules.
Male Sisters of Battle for those that want a cheap SOB force to collect. (roughly speaking in comparison to buying strict sisters)

I swear I think those two have a hate-crush on each other sometimes.
Seems like you put considerable work into this fandex.
Consider me to rip it apart for you as to make it better. (Insert evil laugh here).
Take, leave, or leech the following criticism:
For Acts of Faith:
The Ministorium is much less like the guard that these glorified orders are making them appear. Unlike SoB, the army should not have the "specialized" feel of an elite (or even a trained) army that benefits from individualized acts of faith that merely affect the squad. As such Acts of Faith on this army affect everyone at once, like a greenskin WAAGH! mixed with the chaplain's fury of the Black Templars. This army would benefit greatly if it was more of a crusade feel, barely controllable by even the cardinals and deacons that release them into the fray - but also instrumental for its direction.
Generating Faith:
At the beginning of your turn, you generate 15 points of Faith for every Commander of Faith, and 10 points for every Leader of Faith you have alive. You may declare to attempt an Act of Faith by rolling 4D6 and if the result is above 75 the Act of Faith takes hold. Each successful act of Faith removes the pool of D6 added from Martyrdom.
Martyrdom: For every Faithful casualty you sustain, you gain an additional D6. Friendly models who die from the Vestments of Absolution blast generate 2D6.
Faithful: Only models with this rule follow the path of the righteous and may benefit from Acts of Faith. (This just replaces the "Act of Faith" rule label on the unit selections)
Acts of Faith:
Can only be declared by a Commander or Leader of Faith. If none remain alive, no further Acts may be issued. Once an Act has successfully been declared, it last the duration of the game, even if another has been issued.
Righteous Fury - Faithful units now have Furious Charge. Word of the Emperor - Faithful units are now Zealots. Atronomican's Speed - Faithful units now have Crusader. Wrath of the Emperor - Faithful units now have Shred. Emperor's Retribution - Faithful units now have Rampage.
Self-Destruct Addendum: Should read as Vestment of Absolution: In the assault phase, a model with this wargear may attempt to make the ultimate sacrifice for the cause. Instead of attacking, roll a D6 - on a 2+ the model explodes with the following profile S4 - ap - Large Blast, directly over the model's center - after hits are resolved, remove the model from play. If a 1 is rolled, the detonator has failed but may be attempted the next turn.
For your independent characters remove those parenthesis around (For this guy only,),(for this guy only) and instead write the whole entry as this:
Independent Character x
Special Rules: List, List, List.
Abilities: Xxx Wargear: Xxx
In addition, the character may be accompanied with the following (Y): for Y points.
Special Rules: Y
Q: What are Condemner Bolters? What's the difference between them and normal Bolters?
Are Bottle Grenades Molatov Cocktails? If not, why not just have frag grenades? If so, just have them be assault grenades that burn their victims?
No HQ should have WS or BS higher than 4 - remember, these are not professional soldiers let alone have combat skills better than most SM's.
- The Deny the Witch ability should simply be a piece of wargear unless the HQ is also a Psyker - which seems unlikely.
What are the Missionary Roles? i.e Teachers, Technicians, ect.
I agree wholeheartedly with your troops and elite choices - though it may be wise to rethink their individual abilities now that I've completely gutted them. (Sorry lol, again, take it, leave it, or leech it, it's your fandex.)
Dedicated Transport: Replace both with this:
75 points Mobile Shrine: BS - 3 F - 12 S - 11 - R - 11 . Open topped.
(All vehicles can ram btw) Weapons: Pintle mounted storm bolter. Options: Dozer blade, extra armor, may buy up to two Penitence Missile Pods fitted inside the structure's alcoves for 15 points each. (Same as a valkayrie's missile pods)
Transport cap: 20 models.
Remove the "Self Destruct" rule on the servo skulls - May I also ask what in the Emperor's name a servo skull is going to use when it gets into close combat? Its skull?
Fast Attack
175 points Fanatic Launcher BS - 3 - F - 10 S- 10 R - 10 Transport cap: 20 - Comes with a dedicated crew of 10 Fanatics. (Have all the same stats except the special rules - instead have this: Holy Haste - Fanatics may Assault the turn they arrive from Deep Strike) Weapons: Mancannon - so long as there are models embarked upon the Fanatic Launcher at the start of the shooting phase, they may Deep Strike within 72".
Heavy Support
Bastion of Faith - 300 points
A venerable mobile fortress on double wide tracks, this monstrous cathedral carries with it the word of the Emperor among an arsenal of baroque weaponry and priceless relics guarded by an entire army of zealots.
Armor - 13 all around.
Transport: 40 Models - Open topped.
Special Rules: Unstoppable Leviathan - The Bastion cannot be immobilized, shaken, or stunned (although it's crew can be), it crushes everything in its path, including terrain and vehicles with an armor value less than itself. (Remove it permanently from play) It is also amphibious, but cannot move more than 6 inches per turn.
Weapons: I'll let you fill in the blank.
I didn't just make that up either by the way.. they exist:

Consider me to rip it apart for you as to make it better. (Insert evil laugh here).
Take, leave, or leech the following criticism:
For Acts of Faith:
The Ministorium is much less like the guard that these glorified orders are making them appear. Unlike SoB, the army should not have the "specialized" feel of an elite (or even a trained) army that benefits from individualized acts of faith that merely affect the squad. As such Acts of Faith on this army affect everyone at once, like a greenskin WAAGH! mixed with the chaplain's fury of the Black Templars. This army would benefit greatly if it was more of a crusade feel, barely controllable by even the cardinals and deacons that release them into the fray - but also instrumental for its direction.
Generating Faith:
At the beginning of your turn, you generate 15 points of Faith for every Commander of Faith, and 10 points for every Leader of Faith you have alive.
You may declare to attempt an Act of Faith by rolling 4D6 and if the result is above 75 the Act of Faith takes hold. Each successful act of Faith removes the pool of D6 added from Martyrdom.
Martyrdom: For every Faithful casualty you sustain, you gain an additional D6. Friendly models who die from the Vestments of Absolution blast generate 2D6.
Faithful: Only models with this rule follow the path of the righteous and may benefit from Acts of Faith. (This just replaces the "Act of Faith" rule label on the unit selections)
Acts of Faith:
Can only be declared by a Commander or Leader of Faith. If none remain alive, no further Acts may be issued.
Once an Act has successfully been declared, it last the duration of the game, even if another has been issued.
Righteous Fury - Faithful units now have Furious Charge.
Word of the Emperor - Faithful units are now Zealots.
Atronomican's Speed - Faithful units now have Crusader.
Wrath of the Emperor - Faithful units now have Shred.
Emperor's Retribution - Faithful units now have Rampage.
I quite like what you've done with the Acts of faith system, I think I'll use it (with some small changes)!
Self-Destruct Addendum: Should read as Vestment of Absolution: In the assault phase, a model with this wargear may attempt to make the ultimate sacrifice for the cause. Instead of attacking, roll a D6 - on a 2+ the model explodes with the following profile S4 - ap - Large Blast, directly over the model's center - after hits are resolved, remove the model from play. If a 1 is rolled, the detonator has failed but may be attempted the next turn.
good idea! I'll have to think what initiative step it should happen at, maybe I9? or at their standard I? What do you think?
For your independent characters remove those parenthesis around (For this guy only,),(for this guy only) and instead write the whole entry as this:
Independent Character x
Special Rules: List, List, List.
Abilities: Xxx
Wargear: Xxx
In addition, the character may be accompanied with the following (Y): for Y points.
Special Rules: Y
Noted
Q: What are Condemner Bolters? What's the difference between them and normal Bolters?
Condemnor Bolters are a combi weapon. They have a special shot that causes wounded psykers to suffer perils of the warp. It's in the WDSoB dex.
Are Bottle Grenades Molatov Cocktails? If not, why not just have frag grenades? If so, just have them be assault grenades that burn their victims?
I suppose that would be better.
No HQ should have WS or BS higher than 4 - remember, these are not professional soldiers let alone have combat skills better than most SM's.
Confessors are listed as WS & BS 5 in the WDSoB dex, main reason why I've done what I've done with the other HQ's
- The Deny the Witch ability should simply be a piece of wargear unless the HQ is also a Psyker - which seems unlikely.
Good idea! I'll add it!
What are the Missionary Roles? i.e Teachers, Technicians, ect.
Still working on that

I probably should, shouldn't I

Really? Huh, didn't know that. Unsure about replacing both, but I'll definately add this (or something like this!)
Remove the "Self Destruct" rule on the servo skulls - May I also ask what in the Emperor's name a servo skull is going to use when it gets into close combat? Its skull?
Yep they are going to bash them with their skulls. Or shock them. Unsure about removing self destruct, though. But I may.
Fast Attack
175 points

this may be a tad too crazy... but it is certainly a funny idea

I didn't just make that up either by the way.. they exist:
I plan to eventually add the exorcist to the armylist, with a few additional options. For example, these 3 other missile types (after declaring the target, but before rolling to hit, the owner may declare that they are using a different missile):
