So I just bought the All-in-One Army Box for the Protectorate of Menoth. I was just wondering what I could add to the army to make it competitive at 50 points. From what I can gather I need to get a Exemplar Errant Officer & Standard to start. What else should I add?

This is the list in the box
Grand Scrutator Severius
Reckoner
Vanquisher
Redeemer
Heirophant
Exemplar Errants(10)
Choir of Menoth(6)
Exemplar Errant Seneschal
Vassal of Menoth
Rhupert Carvolo, Piper of Ord

With sevvy, you should look into his personal Jack. It's a light with a stick and a shield, I forget the name sorry, but it's gravy. Blessing of Vengeance maybe?

And since you already have 2/3 of the combo, may as well get the covenant of menoth so you can have no-kd-tough-defenders-warded-spell-immune errants. They get work done.

Errant Officer and Standard Bearer: A definte must, this U/A (Unit Attachment) brings the Errants from decent to awesome.

Covenant of Menoth - Just an awesome all-round support piece, he's a crucial part of the puzzle with Rupert Carvolo. Errants suddenly become DEF 14/ARM 18, Tough and can't be knocked down if they do make a tough roll. It can also shut down spell casters, or give flaming attacks, though those abilities are more situational.

Wracks - One free focus. If you're running 3 jacks, and want to cast spells, you'll want wracks. Excellent one point.

Blessings of Vengance - Sevvy likes to cast spells a fair bit. Blessings is his personal jack, and while it's a light that costs as much as a heavy, having the +2 Damage to the first arced spell is amazing when combined with Sevvy's Ashes-to-Ashes spell, bringing it up to POW 13. (with Eye of Menoth up). He can also get work done himself, being MAT 12/POW 16 on the charge, with all bonuses.

Now, if you do get him, you'll probably need to either drop the Redeemer, or find another way to give him focus (the Redeemer is a focus hog)... which brings me to:

Tristan Durant - a 3 point solo, he can happily run the Redeemer at full focus every turn, if you keep that in the list. He doesn't do much more than that, but he does it well.


Other options would be to put in a second unit - I'd recommend Zealots for that spot, as they run very well on their own, and require no support. The Monolith Bearer U/A is a must, and makes them nearly invincible for a turn.


So, A list I'd take would be:

pSeverius (+6 WJ)

Reckoner 8
Vanquisher 8
Blessings of Vengance 7

Min Choir 2

Errants+U/A 10
Zealots+U/A 8

Heirophant 2
Rupert 2
Covenant of Menoth 2
Exemplar Errant Seneschal 2
Vassal of Menoth 2
Wracks 1

You would then have 2 points to spare, probably for a Solo like Gorman Di Wolfe (merc), a second Vassal of Menoth or a Reclaimer.

Alternatively, change out the Zealots for Tristan Durant (3) and your Redeemer (6), and Max the Choir for the last point.
