Honestly, St. Celestine is not all that particularly hard to kill, it is keeping her down that is the problem.

Anything S6 up will instant-kill her, so just hammer her with the buckets of S6 attacks, or Wraiths in meele and you should be golden.

Try to contain her early on, kill accompanying Seraphim etc. You cant kill her, so limit her damage output.

80% of your army doesn't care about celestine (her weapon is AP3), the other 20% are in flyers that she can't reach. Literally every weapon in your army bar the warriors can instant kill her.

I honestly can't think of an army that could care less about celestine

Is this...buttfrustration I sense?

In any case your list should have no problem with little ms.resalot. You have everything you need to put her in a shallow grave.

4 rune priests with jaws and a bunch of allied IG sabre platforms is the counter to cookie cutter wraithwing not celastine. The only thing she can really threaten in your list are the warriors.

Chaos isn’t a pit. Chaos is a ladder. Many who try to climb it fail, and never get to try again. The fall breaks them. And some are given a chance to climb, but refuse. They cling to the realm, or love, or the gods…illusions. Only the ladder is real. The climb is all there is, but they’ll never know this. Not until it’s too late.

on the forum. Obviously

Nearly every weapon in your army is capable of killing her in one hit. If you fail to deal with her, I'll be very disappointed.

I'll be sure to give you a full report on what happens. And hopefully everything will perform the way it was suppose to.

Might want to make the sacrifices to the dice gods for some good rolling. You know, just in case.
