Preliminary thoughts:
Greyfax? Meh.
Celestine/Cawl? Wow...
Cawl alone seems pretty terrifying. For 95 more pts than a standard Dominus you get super duper IWND, +2 toughness, +1S, +2W, re rolling FNP, super canticles, 2D6 extra S4 attacks at I10, his mega melta gun.
This guy needs to be put down in 1 or two turns, otherwise he'll just keep kicking. He doesn't even need to be in combat to do his shenanigans. He also buffs stuff.
In a War Convocation, he could give the whole army a 4++. Those grav breachers that are kinda meh because of BS3? How about BS6 breachers? If these unique canticles interact with the standard ones, you could have twinlinked BS6/7 across the entire army one turn.

Jibbers, Celestine is NUTS for that points cost.
The alternative detachments give some cool options, but I don't see them getting much use unfortunately, as there's no way to take enough models to unlock the command benefits outside of Apoc. Was kind of hoping the AdMech one would be a viable alternative to War Convocation, but it doesn't really look that way.

That's horrifying... In one instant they've made him better than any CSM that's been around for just as long... Not even Typhus re-rolls FNP and has the life regen of that dude. Nurgle players can only hope this is in Typhus’s future.
I do agree though on needing to put him down hard; problem is he’s got 5 damn wounds though. That’s a tall order to drop in one turn especially if you’ve got the rest of the war convo bearing down on you. Best bet would be a pod full of dev cents that'll AP2 him out but they've just become a sacrificial unit to take him down. It'd be a trade I would do to stop him honestly.

wow... those are pretty insane.... Celestine is back in a big way...
why on earth didn't they just put her in imperial agents considering there's a release window difference of a few weeks?

GW Employee: "Here's the Imperial Agents book. The Sister fans are going to love the new Saint model and rules" GW Executive: "Whoa! Stop the press! You can't do that. Take her out of there now and throw her in this book here that's ready to go as well. Can't pass up making them pay for two books like that." GW Employee: "So sorry sir. I don't know what I was thinking." GW Executive: "It's okay. You've been scheduled for another session in the Indoctrination tanks to correct that error in judgement" |

I find the whole imperial agents book a little flummoxing, and not just because of this kind of thing.

I had honestly expected more after having just bought Traitor Legions. Mainly some way to not have the same old shotgun of non-CAD detachments.

Hell i May play it for the club championship. But i do wish there was a detachment where you could take some of these formation together. And some of it is just weird lol |
