=Thoughts on {{PAGENAME}}=
==={{PAGENAME}} in a nutshell===
[[File:HighExecutionerServathReznik.jpg|thumb|[[Reznik1]]]]
Scourge of Heresy is a heavy melee warjack that can thresh infantry, protect against spells, and dish out a lot of hurt. When taken with Reznik he rewards risky plays and becomes faster.
 
Unfortunately his speciality of dealing with infantry is already covered by the [[Castigator]] who is naturally faster and better defended due to Ashen Veil and he doesn’t hit that much harder than a [[Crusader]] while costing 50% more and being just as durable.
 
===Combos & Synergies===
* [[Reznik1]] is designed around having a huge combat profile, so he will trigger the Bond very often, making this SPD 4 jack deceptively mobile if you also factor in Perdition. Ignite and Brand of Heresy also make it a powerhouse once it goes to town and Arcane Vortex is just another layer of spell hate for Reznik.
* [[Reznik2]] makes SPD4 hurt less due to Boundless Charge and makes it more accurate with Curse. Arcane Vortex and Lamentations make him very difficult to take outside of melee assassinations (which can be thwarted by [[Madelyn]]) despite his huge base. Scourge's Thresher will make enemies explode under his feat, possibly wiping out entire swathes of enemies!
* Outside of Reznik, anyone that can boost its rather poor speed might find a use for it. [[Durst]] does so with Boundless Charge, and Deceleration and his feat improve its durability; [[Amon]] has Mobility, with Synergy buffing its hitting power and durability with Fortify, [[Feora4]] has Road to War.
* The dedicated Protectorate jack support; the [[Choir]] and [[Vassal Mechanik]]s, work for Scourge as well, of course.
* The [[Vassal of Menoth]] gets special mention as he can empower the Scourge after it activates to grant arcane vortex, as can the [[Hand of Silence]].
 
===Drawbacks & Downsides===
[[File:ServathReznikWrathofAges.jpg|thumb|[[Reznik2]]]]
* Arcane Vortex normally just causes a skilled enemy to retarget spells - while wasting you focus (since you left one on Scourge doing "nothing").
** On the other hand, if you can create a 8" bubble of "don't bother casting here" then that's not exactly wasted, is it?
* It costs 50% more than a [[Crusader]], but is no more durable. Most of that point goes to extra utility (spell and bit of infantry hate) and 2" reach, higher dmg output shows it's face only again against targets with upkeeps.
 
===Tricks & Tips===
* There are a very few enemies Arcane Vortex and Purgation will be amazing against. Know your local metagame.

  Errata-Thresher (2023-11-26)
Question: Does an effect that triggers "when one or more friendly Faction models are destroyed" only trigger one time with Thresher?
Answer: It will only trigger 1 time due to thresher.
Explanation: (DASchretz - judge, not infernal) The special attack is always a single attack even if the rules contained within call for multiple attacks simply because the rules are only there to tell players how to execute the named attack; whether that be making multiple attack and damage rolls (thresher, ground pounder, etc) or simply applying something like Armor Piercing to the attack in exchange for losing your other initials. You execute all the special instructions in the attack’s description and then the 1 attack of that name is completed. That’s when you finally move into the trigger effects step of the timing chart.
