Order of Illumination Vigilants |
The Church of Morrow’s Order of Illumination investigates occult threats and, when force of arms is required, dispatches specialist strike teams to eliminate them and limit harm to the general populace. Among these zealous soldiers are the vigilants, small teams of tireless hunters trained to stalk and dispatch unnatural predators, including otherworldly horrors summoned by infernalists. The prayers woven into their weapons and whispered on their lips empower their strikes with the light of Morrow.

Thoughts on Order of Illumination Vigilants
Order of Illumination Vigilants in a nutshell
Template:Recent Release Vigilants, much like their Resolute brethren, have a good mix of ranged and melee weapons. Advance Deployment, Pathfinder, and Stealth mean they are going where they please and are usually pretty safe when they go there. Their heavy crossbow can put a dent into most non-jack/beast targets, and Gang lets them get in close and put the hurt on. With Glyn Cormier, Illuminated One they ignore Stealth and have a niche in countering skirmish units similar to themselves.
Combos & Synergies
- The Flame in the Darkness theme gives them vengeance.
- The Morrowan Archon has Veteran Leader for them, allowing them to tackle high defense targets easily.
- Any caster with Snipe (I.e. Stryker1, Maddox), so they can stay farther away from the action.
- Jakes2 feat allows them to deliver 5 attacks and 5 electro-leaps to potentially wipe a unit twice as large as they are.
Drawbacks & Downsides
- Single wound and poor defenses, they die easily.
- Relatively expensive - they pay a tax to boast good melee and decent shooting on the same model.
- Small unit size means that even into their favorite targets they lack the volume of attacks to completely wipe out a unit even in otherwise perfect circumstances. Five models means that they can't pair up to deliver gang-boosted attacks to more than two spaced enemies.
- Even using Gang they are only POW 13 on the charge; they don't break armor on their own.
Tricks & Tips
- Know when to gang and when to spread out for survival.
