I do not mind
PP's plastics, but they are not something I'd really call 'great' at times but not as bad as some put it out there to be some of the time. Just wanted to do this since I might be getting them in a trade so I can use them to a degree.
Blessing of Vengeance is crazy-good with pSevvy. Though he's so versatile it's not even an "auto-include". There is a solid argument for just playing him with 2x Redeemer and forgetting the whole spell-slinging thing.
As for the conversion all you'd really need is the fancy arc-node/filigree stuff. Maybe some purity seals from the
40k kits too, since those are a decent approximation of the extra gubbins on his shoulders and players of that game get so many they'd probably give you some for free.
Gameplay wise here are the considerations with BoV:
Native
MAT 7, plus powerful charge, plus choir, plus eye of menoth means his effective
MAT on the charge is a whopping 12. Hits
DEF 17 on 5-ups. Seriously. The POW is "only" 16, but his threat range is as good as any of the 'Jacks in protectorate and that's enough to kill a lot of things. Obviously you're brining him as an Arc Node, but don't forget the spear can do work. Giving him 1 focus to buy an attack is generally a better use than spending 2 to cast a POW 15 immolation.
Ashes-to-Ashes is expensive but powerful. With the blessings bonus, it's an effective auto-hitting POW 13
d6 enemies within 5" of the target. This cuts through stealth, spell ward, high
DEF and normally anything else that would normally throw you off. In addition to just being good at clearing infantry it can tag solos and other key targets that no other tool could.
10" Run + 8" Spell Range + Sevny's effective magic attack value of 9 makes your potential attack vectors pretty crazy. That's 18" to work with, and it doesn't have to all be in a straight line, and that's just immolation. A2A can potentially bounce 5" further from the initial target.
To repeat, despite all this. BoV is not so good as to be must-have. pSevvy is perfectly happy an in some cases just plain better with no Arc Node just using his focus to fuel Reckoners & Redeemers.
