Did anyone try 2xBastions+2xSeneschals+Battle engine in Exemplar theme with Testament? That's a lot of boxes per turn healed. If they kill less than 7 dudes per turn Testament brings them all back and it sure as hell should be hard to kill a lot of them under working Sanguine bond. The ability order should allow to raise then heal to full. That's 62pts=32+12+18 of models. That leaves you with 13+27pts for the rest of the army. I think this list would have serious trouble with board presence given the limited number of models and it'll also lack in heavy hitters.
Youre 2 pts from a free 2nd card and get one senny free already.

I would probably also be best under harby. If its a big damage roll let the bastion die and martyr. If it's a low roll spread the damage out and heal next turn. Really gives you some flexibility and tankiness.
10" martyr range would really expose harby to protect the front line like that though.

I'm thinking a pair of Exemplar Seneschals to run in front of the Bastions for 60pts +12pts in free Bastions. That leaves 30pts for jacks which is good for a pair of Templars.

I'd probably get Gravus for the no-knockdown. It would also give me both Sennies for free.

Also, he can only really cover 1 group of Bastions, unless you're clumping the two unit around him. Not if you take Harbinger. Besides, as Gravus can only hold 3 souls, it'd be relatively easy to get him to max quickly, then have him just sit on them until you need to burn them. Heck, take a max choir with only 2 jacks, kill 3 choir turn 1 with Gravus sitting right there, and done.

Gravus only collects Exemplar souls. Only models which can collect souls from models you kill yourself are the Reclaimer and the Sanctifier.
