I am pretty excited to try this list. Have bubble wrap for my tanks and mortars and the bullgryn squad buffed by psykers, priests, and straken seems great.

I like the idea of the buffed bullgryn squad but I don’t think strakens buffs will work on them. They can’t be catachans. Also maybe break them into two smaller squads so morale is never an issue. You could still keep both squads close to the priest to get the buff but you’d have to use more psykers to buff them.

Why can't bullgryns be catachan?

They have the Auxilia keyword instead. They can be in the Catachan army with no penalties, but can't be Catachan.

Also, not sure the Psyker can have the Tuskblade relic either, as you need a power sword to replace it with first.

Ah thanks yeah they lack the regiment rule. So will drop stracken then and add a set of sponsons to the shadowswords or More mortars. They should still be good though with the phsycic buffs and the priest .

more morters
