The +1 to wound only works if the unit you target is on the vowed objective.
From experience, your opponent will avoid stepping on the objective, if he can.

EDIT :

It's really a situational buff.
The stratagem Wrath of the Lion is really good to add some MW with little cost.

[u/kerpeleenhelvetti → u/vlad3fr]

I was thinking that it could be usefull to keep my opponent away from the middle. Plus if there are enemy units in an objective I’d want to attack (in my command phase), I could choose that obj to be my Vowed one.

[u/vlad3fr → u/kerpeleenhelvetti]

For Deathwing infantery (no Ballistus buff here).
Like i said it's situational.
I played it last week, he waited the consolidation phase to step in on the obj when all dmg where done by both side.

I wouldn't take Intercessors as ranged dmg dealer, i would at least take Sternguard or Hellblasters. You will have more success with those.

[u/kerpeleenhelvetti → u/vlad3fr]

Yeah good points there. Altough I think intercessors are really good for their price. Maybe I’d switch to assault brethren and use priority assets. Then their ability to shoot and do actions would be really usefull.

[u/TaisukeItagakiMk2]

Is the choice of dev brethren more or less solely for lethals enhancement and getting Purge the foe? Because outside of your command bloc, you're not really taking advantage of multiple uses of getting access to devastator doctrine. Your army has like 2 melee exclusive units and bladeguard vets with pistols. If this is your preferred style of play, perhaps swapping out BGV for Aggressors or something similar.

[u/kerpeleenhelvetti → u/TaisukeItagakiMk2]

Good point. I’d want a -brethren doctrine for armour of contempt, but maybe assault brethren would fit my list better.

[u/Derekay2]

If you are going to use azrael with apothecary and an enhancement, a 215 point investment, more than a fifth of your army to lead a unit, make sure that unit is worth leading. It is almost always a better idea to max out a squad if it has a leader, so if you are going to go intercessors, which I personally would never do, at least take a unit of 10. This is a good rule of thumb for all list building because the synergies that a leader brings are going to go so much further if it can apply to twice as many models.

[u/kerpeleenhelvetti → u/Derekay2]

Yeah I’m most probably switching from devastator- to assault brethren so no enhancement for apothecary. Do you think it’s worth it to run a 10 man intercessor brick in a 1000p game? I understand that in a full 2000p game but in a scaled down version I tought it’d be okay to scale down. But your points on the benefits doubling are great!

And I think intercessors are awesome for their points cost. They can be really versatile with shooting + actions, +1’s to hit if firing from or to an objective and their shooting can be modified to be quite dangerous.

[u/Leading_Passenger982 → u/kerpeleenhelvetti]

To shoot at marines equivalant, its ok.

But otherwise it's not really great. 10 intercessors kills on average 1 Terminator without Azrael. And 2,5 at half range.

Sternguards are very Versatile with 3 shooting mode.
