Anointed Throng?

How do you guys set up your anointed throng detachment? What are essential to send with it in a 1000 point list?

if you take 20 or 30 abberants I would add an abominant and a biophagus for sure to buff them.  If you only go one unit of 10 then I would not bother.  If its one unit of 10, then just perfect ambush them to help get off the charge, if you are taking 20-30 then take the warlord trait on the abominant for +1 to charge.  In either situation you want a clamivus to get +1 to charge and a primus to get a +1 to hit and re-roll some wounds vs a key target or targets (if it has the bladed cog strat), patriarch helps as well for the fearless bubble so they don't run as they are expensive.  Then an iconward as well for the re-roll 1's on FNP, the +1S relic isn't as needed for abberants. 

All the supporting characters etc that you would use with acolytes I would use with Abberants pretty much.


I take them as bladed cog, give the abominant the 4++ relic that then becomes a 3++ and the +1 charge warlord trait.  Since they are bladed cog they get a 6++ as well as the amazing strat to get exploding 4's, 5's or 6's.

Primus and Iconward pretty standard for abberant bomb, and pretty essential I would argue.

I like the sound of that BC aberrant bomb with the Abominant. Are you basically relying on one perfect ambush and then bringing a Calmavus for 7" charges for the other Aberrant units? Is your success rate pretty good with those charges?

So we are running a wierd set up this weekend we are using warcry rules for turns and keeping to 1000 points 8cp and you must designate a leader. Other than that anything goes. I have 10 abbarants and an abiminant plus magus and a patriarch. I can also proxy things. Never ran annointed throng and thought now might be a good time.
