Thoughts on Sanguinary ancient guys? I've been running one in my list and he really does buff up the Sanguinary guard squad but he's really expensive and relatively fragile. I've been taking him as my warlord to Grant the +1 to hit for the boys and give him the re roll charges banner.

I keep him in reserve with a squad of 8 Sanguinary guard then drop them in around turn 3 to deliver a knockout punch.

Most people say nay he's overcosted and your usually better with more Sanguinary guard instead

By re-roll charge relic banner, I take it you mean Icon of the Angel which is actually a not a banner and can be given to any character.

I'd probably not take him if I wasn't going to benefit from his ability with the relic banner (Wrath of Baal which is locked to the Ancient) to help me get those extra 2" movement on a multiple jump pack squads early in turns 1 and 2.

Otherwise, I think you are probably better off dropping your 8 man in with a warlord jump pack Chaplain with Icon for the charge re-roll and then pay a CP to use canticle of hate.

Good idea! I hadn't thought of doing that. I normally run a jump chaplain but just fly him around being a nuisance to the enemy and generally not doing much.

In my next game I'll give that a go, thanks
