I ran this the other day, it was decent but could have been better. I had to conceed at the end of turn 4, my eldar opponent was going to spend turn 5 collecting VP and I had zero chance of doing the same, it ended 6vp to 8vp. It was a very good game all the same. At one point, turn 2, I had him boxed into a corner, but that didn't last.

So I'm looking on ideas on how to improve the list. First I felt that having a renegade battalion and a legion battalion was rough, the lords didn't cooperate enough to give bonuses to the troops., my exalted champ was too slow to keep up with anyone. I liked my puscleaver lord, but I feel that he needs more attacks somehow. The 20 man marine unit is neat, but too many models to move, but getting a chance for 1st turn charge is so awesome (2nd turn charge is the new plan) I'm struggling to understand how to use the cultists effectively. The 30 man squad proved especially resilient in cover. Overall I felt I didn't have enough control points. I felt my sorcerer was amazing and tough in terminator armor, the angelsbane relic.. was good but not great.

I'd like some ideas on what else I could do that provides more synergy. Probably a 2nd sorcerer over exalted champ, and give up on the concept of getting marines in combat??
