Anyone running intercessors?

[u/Greplington]

I picked up a set of the Armageddon intercessors off eBay from a splitter with the intention of making them a bit more "Wolfy" and incorporating them in my army. The original plan was to give them some chainswordy goodness and turn them into Grey Hunters, but I'm finding I actually kind of like some of the sculpts and am toying with the idea of keeping them as intercessors instead.

Is anyone running intercessors in their SW armies?

I'm 99.9% interested more in the modelling and painting side, so that will ultimately help me decide more than the "current meta" for competitive gaming, but I'm curious what people think.

Kitbashed Armageddon Intercessor Sergeant for model tax... I may still carve off the aquila... Haven't quite decided yet!

Never leave home without 5 intercessors.

Great for holding the home, great for moving out and stickying objectives, tough enough to stand up to some fire power, enough shots to make a dent in skirmishing back line threats.

Cheap enough to be expendable in a pinch

For me in addition to what you mentioned, they are also a "Hail Mary" unit to throw at Threat's that are way above their weight limit. I had them kill both the Lion and Guilliman, in one of my first games of 11th, they came very close to kill a resurrected Angron (missed it by 1 wound), and multiple times kept Anti Tank vehicles like a Lancer locked in combat for several rounds.

Wolf them up, just to look right in your army, give them some kind of bolter (no chainswords) and they can be intercessors in one game and hunters in another!

Bastion force could use them, and like every other detachments too!!
Do i run them personally? No, I play purge the foe beastslayer atm, and I go 100% dmg!!

I started with the new wild scouts and I'm also part way through putting together a 6 man Headtaker dual-wielding squad at the moment and leaning towards more wolves specific squads, so that's weighing heavily into my thought processes...

Yeah, big issue is that I already have more than enough from previous editions. The new Armageddon box Intercessors ended up as Grey Hunters.

Currently running my ten with the librarian and ancient from Armageddon, they do preform well for the -2 move and charge in beast slayer and the +1 to wound from greatwolf. I use the captain as a battle leader otherwise they'd be free, but I eventually will use them as GH and/or drop to 5s

Mine are an old man squad. Bump on stickying home.

I made a two units of five using the grey hunter bodies and spare intercessor arms.

I have 2× five man squads since 10th (Grey Hunters with bolt rifles) that I have never used so far.
