40K: Cult Of The Cleansing Flame

 Churchwardens

Occasionally, the Temple of the Cleansing Flame finds it necessary to deal robustly with unbelievers and apostates.

In such situations a Churchwarden Team is usually deployed.


Eldar & Verger

Churchwardens are led by Vergers. Ideally, the team includes an Eldar entrusted to carry The Cleansing Flame, an eminently suitable device for chastising apostates in particular.

One Hour Skirmish Wargames: ISIS Patrol Army List

ISIS Motorised Patrol

I recently came across a GoPro video shot by an ISIS Commander: it was taken off his body.

It featured a motorised patrol of ISIS fighters all in one vehicle that had got in a fight with US soldiers.

What struck me was the very poor morale of the fighters except that they were clearly terrified of the commander. When he was shot and wounded, they all immediately fled off in their truck.

That incident has inspired this army.

The truck and Recoiless Rifle are by Antenocitis Workshop and the infantry by Footsore USA.

Morale: 0

The patrol works out at 46 points.

Toyota Hilux Technical

Special Rules:
1. The technical must be stationary for the gun to fire
2. The gun may not fire into the front 90 degree arc as it would blow in the windscreen
3. The backblast knocks down any model within 6" of the rear 45 degree arc of the gun
4. The two gunners may be targeted by small arms independently of the technical - they count as being in the open
5. All the models may pile into/onto the technical to be carried in excess of the transport limit but draw a card after every move of the vehicle- the player must beat 3+ or one of the excess passengers falls off and is placed 'Down' halfway along the move.
