How do you guys feel about the BA mask of death for the sanguinary guard upgrade? Requires unit it assaults to take a leadership test, and if failed, their WS is reduced 1. Is it worth it for 25 pts? Interested in any thoughts, as I am just being introduced to the new BA.

Doesn't seem worth it to me as the best you can get is 3+ to hit in close combat no matter how much better your WS is...

I see it as primarily defensive, since it moves everyone to needing 5+ to hit them back, that coupled with the big dent they'll likely put in a unit they charge can help them avoid being hit back too hard.

That said its use is highly situational.
