Tell me what you think!
As well as any Improvments/changes!

I'm not a fan of the preacher. It's 3 exorcist tanks rolled into one, and a problem with exorcists is already random shots, where they either do well or they fizzle cause of 1 shot. I'd rather take a fixed amount of shots. Either go for heavy 3 or 4 as it would be the expected value of a d6.

Maybe flesh it out a bit more, cause as it is right now, paying 415 points for such a random factor isn't appealing.

Tell that to every army that relies on Warlord traits and Psychic powers.
