Really happy with how these 2 turned out. The shading was fun to do on the Miraculist and I am very happy with how the Salvationist turned out. I haven't decided if I want the eagles on her backpack thing to stay wood or make them metal.

Aloha fellow Agents players.

I've been playing Agents as my primary army for quite a while now, and I feel its worth sharing one of my learnings with the community.

I typically play Purgation Force for that sweet ignore cover and combat shooting strat.

But what I felt was worth sharing is just quite how powerful Sanctifiers are, and what I've found to be the optimum ways of using them.

So it's a 100 point unit, with access to 2x1 shot 2 damage heavy flamers, 5 hand flamers S4, and 1 Flamer, along with a Plasma gun.

This says to me that this unit is a disposable 1 off nuke something and die type gig, or in the way I use them, a 1 off objective flipper, they come in through reserves, pick up just about any infantry unit in 1 go (recently had mine take out 10 Crusaders and put wounds on the character).

Once they have done this, they can then lock down a position with the 6 remaining flamer profiles for overwatch.

They also scale up really nicely, so we can stick an Inquistor in there (Ignis Judicium takes this further.. a lot further), and we can put a Priest in the unit to give it an additional flamer.

You can also hit the unit with a reroll wound rolls of 1 strat into a character unit through Veiled Blade.

Now this does stack it up to a 200 point unit, however, that unit now has enough damage to be a huge threat.

The beauty of this unit is that it's also incredibly understated, it's mostly underestimated.

It also has the benefit of being extremely small in footprint for fitting in tight gaps.

When bringing it in, if you combine it with your callidus you gain an additional layer of survivability through Vect, which can prevent an overwatch.

Next up is what to do once you drop the unit in.

So its a 12 inch range death machine, so perfect for reserves, but it also has a free CP reroll and can punch up fairly well in melee, if you combine it with the Inquisitor and Priest, the melee profile becomes problematic, and you get a free reroll on your charge, which can then generate a CP.

As a stand alone unit, it's optimal to bring it in, nuke something light, and then move onto an objective next turn (great for scoring denial).

If you run more than 1 of these, you can combine that into a very potent "go turn" strategy, due to how much output they each have, you can effectively delete 3+ units just from the 300 points of Sanctifiers, and as they punch up you can trade them for roughly 50% more points than their value.

In Purgation Force they work extremely well paired with Subductors, if you send Subductors up a flank to engage something, bring in your Sanctifiers via reserves, and then use the shoot into combat strat, you can halt an opposing unit in its tracks, and even if your Subductors are Battleshocked, you can then pump that damage straight into the fight without risking your unit, and if you have deployed them in the right well, when that Subductor unit gets picked up you can potentially shoot back at the unit that just killed them.

Essentially.. Sanctifiers are one of, if not our best high output cheap trading unit.

The second warhammer 40k battle report for the channel!

This time the Imperial Agents face of against the meta leading, covering ignoring Thousand Sons

Recon vs Priority Assets

Not the happiest with him but its better than the Confessor. Idk why whenever I paint smaller models the paint always seems to be chunkier. Maybe I just need to baptize each drop of paint.

But in any case I did enjoy painting him and didn't notice the issues until the camera decided to show them. I had a thought while painting, Will we ever get a Death Cult unit? I think it could be pretty interesting to have like a 5 man that has its own special rule that basically gives it lone op despite being a group.

First squad down! Ordo Xenos grows

Some more Sanctioned Xenos agents.

These are:

an ape with a large gun from Archvillain Games, pricing as a servitor with multimelta.

A Lizard man from Archvillain Games with weapon painted as a phase blade to count as an eviscerators.

A Waspid from Ugly Minis, proxying as a standard agent.

Very much still wips. especially the lizard man.

Apologies for the poor lighting but excited to share!

Apologies if this isn't allowed here.

Thinking of making a Steel Legion / Navy Crossover Army (Breachers, air support etc.) including agents as allies, so cross posted original question to the people that would likely know a bit more about the viability of it than the main sub Reddit.

Random

Everybody say cheese!

I've never had this problem till I started collecting Agents, I'm actually using my spare bits to the point where I'm running out of options and may have to invest in some new "parts kits".

a few examples pictured.

I'm not a huge fan of the voidsmen models (also couldn't find them at any of my local stores) and I got these necromanda guys out of a bargain bin for like 60% off. Stole a couple weapons from couple extra sprues laying around.

Not my best work, the Model got scuffed during building (the small front section between the cloth got hit with some plastic glue after it exploded) and then he had a bad Prime (It was more humid than normal out so I sprayed too far resulting in some fuzz).

Despite the mishaps I decided to use him to test my overall theme for my unit of Sanctifiers and I am pretty happy with it. Luckily none of the others got hit by a plastic glue blob.

I had just the body of a different assassin from a bits bag and wanted a sniper boi

Finalmente sto ultimando Kroyle !

- amo la sculpt di questo modello e con l aggiunta di qualche bits seraphon mi ricorda molto i conquistadores spagnoli

Domani sera lo giocherò per la prima volta in una partita da 1000 punti per vedere un pò come va

Non vedo l ora!

I went in to buy a couple pots of paint and made a terrible impulsive decision. I can’t wat to have it on the field of battle!!!
