So...I am striving to find a way to make electro priests work, I enjoy their rules and models, and DARNIT, I WILL FIND A WAY!

So the basic idea here, is all of the corpuscarii and fulgarites go off in pairs, so that each corpuscarii unit is getting the buff, and anything they shoot at, the fulgarites can jump in and mop up. Luckily their shields give them assault grenades, and with all of the grav backing them up, they will likely ALWAYS be striking first in close combat. The congregation also gives them double use of canticles, so stealth/shroud twice, or give them all +3 to strength twice, or my favorite, give them all 3 initiative 10 hits twice, which gives them a hilarious 4 Initiative 10 S4 hits when they charge (hammer of wrath, plus the canticle)

WIth bonuses to strength, they should be able to handle most vehicles, and if not, mass grav can handle any others. 12 units means maxx benefits until 5 units are gone, MSU is the deal right now, I think this might actually work.

I would cut back on Fulgarites to absolute minimum. They are terrible, then max out on Corpuscarii they do a surprising amount of damage.

Also just repeat the formation until you run out of points never take squads over maximum size.

They that bad, really? Ok, will cut back on them, I like the corpuscarii more anyways, in look and function.

Im guessing the second sentence "maximum" is supposed to be "minimum" ? Otherwise I am confused as to what you mean.

Yes sorry corpuscarii can pump out potentially 22 S4 HITS per model. They are horrific if up they get to strike. Fulgarites are on S5 and have no gun so they do about the same damage in combat and none at range which just makes them horrid for the same points...

Oh man, I totally did not read that shock is for CC as well...holy crap they just DROWN you in S4

Yeah Corpuscarii are actually good despite the internet claims. Filgurites are just lame. A unit of 5 Corpuscarii on the charge should nail a 30 man blob of Hormagaunts!!

Indeed, I always thought they were way better than people gave them credit, but lets be honest here, the internet has VERY strong opinions about most things.

maybe better then, to just skip the formation and just take the corpus? I lose crusader sure, which is kinda unfortunate? Im more hurt losing the extra shot I think, but a tax of 3 units to get it is no bueno.
