=Thoughts on {{PAGENAME}}=
=== {{PAGENAME}} in a nutshell ===
The Sanctifier is a beat-stick that is a bit pillow-fisted compared to the dedicated melee heavies of other factions such as the [[Ironclad]] or [[Juggernaut]] or even its "little" brother the [[Crusader]], but makes up for it by collecting the souls of your army for focus.  Casters that run very infantry heavy or are focus strapped, such as [[Vice Scrutator Vindictus]], love this jack as it will fuel itself.  The trade-off is that the Sanctifier really can't hit very hard, making the Choir even more mandatory.
 
===Combos & Synergies===
* Works really well with [[Exemplar Errants]] due to the new changes of [[Self-Sacrifice]].
* [[Holy Zealots]] are a relatively cheap chaff unit for purposes of soul collection that can be brought back with the CA to allow for more recycling.
* [[Durst]] with Bulwark up or [[Harbinger]] with Awe makes this DEF 14 against living.
* The [[Faithful Masses]] theme forces does wonders for this jack, as it features lots of victim stats troops to fuel its soul collection, and it gains [[Hand of Vengeance]] to boot, further increasing its damage output.
* The [[Hand of Silence]] offers [[Direct Spirits]], making soul allocation less of a hassle.
*If they were giving out a prize to ''"Warjack that really shines under a 'Jack Marshall"'', it'd go to the Sanctifier. Being able to receive Drive bonuses '''and''' fill itself with focus via Cenotaph makes this machine a force to be reckoned with.
**[[Reclaimer Gatekeeper]]: Being a cheap choice to make it marshalled, but comes with the price of soul taking conflicts, because both models want souls from friendlies. However, being able to give Future sight to a Sanctifier with lots of souls is a gift from the Creator himself.
** [[Exemplar Bastion Seneschal]]: Doubles the price and a bit harder to keep alive in some ways, its Drive turns the Sanctifier into an elite combatant via Flank when paired with Bastions, most likely killing anything they couldn't.
 
=== Drawbacks & Downsides ===
* If you simply want a jack that hits stuff hard (which is what the Sanctifier will end up doing most of the time anyway), the Crusader comes at meagre 10 points.
* Enemies with [[removed from play]] abilities denies the Sanctifier to receive souls.
* Unless you also bring the [[Hand of Silence]], effectively increasing the jacks price tag by 7, other models with [[Soul Taker]] can become a problem for the Sanctifier, especially if they go to the enemy, but also with other friendlies like [[Reclaimer Gatekeeper]] and [[High Exemplar Gravus]].
** In fact, the Hand basically replicates this jacks gimmick of soul collection, but is able to convert friendly souls into focus for ANY jack, meaning you can go with a [[Crusader|cheaper jack that hits harder but is just as focus efficient]].
 
=== Tips & Tricks ===
* Activate your unit of cheap cannon fodder, advance 3 of them within 5" of the Sanctifier then use the rest to stab/shoot them in the back. Now activate your Sanctifier and enjoy the sweet-sweet focus.
* Incorporeal models (or even Hymn of Shielding in the mirror match) are common enough for the Sanctifier's Exorcist ability to be occasionally very useful.
