Editing Redemptor Priest (section)

==Crunch==
On the Necromunda tabletop, Redemptor Priests are a [[Word-Keeper]] on steroids, but at the same price. They carry fantastic close-combat weapons, very good access to equipment, and Primary skill access to the new '''Piety''' skill tree make this the premiere choice for Cawdor leadership. In terms of tactics, Redemptor Priest is best used by leading at the front. These are frontline troops after all since they all carry Chainaxes with Exterminator attachments and Eviscerators ([[Awesome|which in House Cawdor come equipped with a Scarce Hand Flamer]]). For 45 points, you can take a Pyromantic mantle (that's the giant brazier on top of the head), which optionally gives your Melee attacks ''Blaze'', but doesn't work on reaction attacks. A bit of an overkill, to be honest, and if you're using Eviscerator's ''Versatile'' rule, there is a chance that a burning victim runs into your Priest, setting him aflame as well!

Likewise, they being Priests are can act as support units if they carry a Book of Redemption which grants any selected Cawdor fighter in 6" either the D3 re-roll on Charge, or a single re-roll of a natural 1 for Hit. It's a bit underwhelming for a Basic action, to be honest. Moreover, they are also allowed to have their own choir of [[Cherubim]]s, which are really, really good defensive upgrades.
