Harvester of Souls

With the proper tithe, the infernal masters of the Nonokrion Order are casually able to summon forth a unceasing tide of horrors to rip apart their enemies. When their enemies persist despite those horrors, the masters can borrow the powers of even greater infernalists to prepare massive summoning rituals. For a daunting number of sacrifices, the Harvesters set foot in Immoren.

Thoughts on the Harvester of Souls

Harvester of Souls in a Nutshell

The 'shooty one' of the huge horrors. It's more expensive than the Guardian of Souls and while it is just as tough versus soulless models it has to be more deliberate with it's targeting due to how it steals souls.

It has a lot more impact on the game in earlier turns when it can bring it's gun to bear. It's not as lilly in melee as it's brother so it doesn't trade into other gargantuans and collosals very well. But kill shot really let's it shoot deep into enemy lines

Combos & Synergies

• Omodamos - Unyielding makes it armour 22 versus the soulless. The rest just polishes his kit further.
• Zaateroth - Long Shadows helps against guns. Ghost Walk, Scything Touch and Black Spot are all great spells for it.
• Agathon - Curse of Shadows is great for everything. Dark Seduction and Hellmouth can be used to set up clusters of enemies for its guns.
• Regna - DEF 9/ARM 18 is an honestly pitiful statline for a model this big, so Deceleration is very much needed, especially against guns coming from models not affected by Hollow Ward.
• The Wretch can use Ancillary Attack, letting you trigger Soul Splinter an extra time per turn.

Drawbacks & Downsides

• The physical model is almost identical to the Guardian of Souls but they are sold as separate models, not as a multi-kit.
• Soul Splinter and Hollow Ward do not affect Archons.
• It has some Skornergy with models like the Lamenter
• As a huge base it is difficult to screen, is not affected by Zaat's Rites of Torment and the rest of your army cannot move or see through it, even with Hauke present.
• It isn't that tough, sure it gets armour against soulless models but even with that is not as durable as say a Victor

Tricks & Tips

• Soul Splinter doesn't normally increase/decrease the combat capability of what you use it against, so it doesn't matter what you use it against.
  • Very niche but: using Soul Splinter vs Kallus1's feat will give the enemy +3 DEF.
  • Likewise very niche but Maelok making his troops undead is a big help to this models durability
