Thoughts on Extoller Soulward

Extoller Soulward in a nutshell

The Extoller Soulward is a cheap solo with two functions:

• Handing out Eyeless Sight and Magical Weapon (always useful against Cryxian incorporeal battle engines)
• A gun powerful enough to blow an entire aspect off a heavy warbeast in a single shot. Or shoot a solo straight through a wall.

At the cost of only two Venator Rievers that's excellent value.

Combos & Synergies

• Any cheap infantry - for that matter expensive infantry also power it up. It only needs three dead models.
• Titan Cannoneer, Mammoth, or Aradus Sentinel - good shooting units really benefit from Eyeless Sight.
• Lord Tyrant Hexeris or Lord Arbiter Hexeris - channeling and Eyeless Sight is an awesome combination.
• Lord Assassin Morghoul to tag those stealth casters with Mortality. Or blow a beast to pieces after hitting it with Mortality. Also great to let his feat reach through cloud walls.

Drawbacks & Downsides

• No game against constructs (including most of Convergence of Cyriss)
• Slightly squishy solo
• Powering an Ancestral Guardian slightly is rarely worth an entire activation

Tricks & Tips

• Extoller Soulwards should be a priority to take out because of the amount of damage to warbeasts they can do. Act accordingly.
