The Punishment Due
As a fan of unused units, I find myself loving an unusual unit in particular, a Penal Legion Squad with a Ministorum Priest. You see, each benefits from one another's rules, where the priest can outflank and get scouts, the Penal Legion can re-roll fail to hits in close combat. Best of all, the Leggionares are actually good in assault. I prefer the knife fighter's rule, but physcopaths is also very good. Gunslingers is the only one that I don't appreciate, lasguns simply aren't good anyway you put it, so making them assault two does little for me. Legionarres are already stubborn, and all have leadership 8. The priest not only adds his Rigtcheous Fury to the unit, but also an Eviscerator which hacks apart battletanks, as well as swathes of infantry. Overall, I think you will find this a deadly combination and in some ways a very fitting one, who better to lead those who go astray of the Emperor's light, than the bringer of his light?
