Don't get me in trouble here for wrongly labeling someone's event but I think it was maybe EGGS, Blackout, or Facehammer (again I'm not 100% I just know it was one of the bigger UK events last year). That said it doesn't appear to be in the pack for those events this year - I think it was an early 'summoning too strong' check that was being used before the edition matured a bit. 

Yeah fair enough, but that's as close to pay to win as you can get, which is worse imo

I think he's getting at the fact that some tournaments don't allow you to do this. Some tournaments require a specific 'summoning pool' of models and you aren't allowed to use dead models as a part of that pool. 

****** that. What tournaments have imposed that on players?

Characters are very important for summoning and depravity, due to this you are at a bit of a disadvantage with out 5/6. As are command points. plenty of gear for generation in the book. You can have a crazy hero phase with all the wizards too. The endless spells are good and The Epitome is a serious spell caster. Combined with an Enrapturess they hurt enemy wizards.

Invaders, Godseekers, Pretenders is generally the goodness order of hosts. 

Daemonettes come in 30s or 10s, you can happily get away with 3x10 or even 3x5 hellstriders as your core.

Speaking of which, clawspears all the way.

Seekers have a place but fiends are a bit strange due to not generating depravity and are a bit pricey, handy for summoning though.

Chariots are typically for characters but the big uns are ok and the standard one with a herald is a steal for 12 depravity.

Make sure you keep a support character hanging around the fane as the refund stacks up.

Herald spell (available on 4 different scrolls), 

And spamable, which is massive.

And a number of MS weapons/relics, a couple of command traits too.

I wanted the Sword of Judgment because it's super broken good on the Epitome with the Fane (and it won me 2 matchups single handedly!).

Any chance of a few more details, I've yet to get mine on the table but the SoJ stands out with all the attacks. Did you play it aggressive up in their face ? I get worried about the low save vs normal wounds.
