What am I forgetting to get a BG Repenter to RAT9? I can only think of Mark and EoM for RAT8, which is still really good.
And in regards to cost, assuming I already have unit of Errants to cover the model with Mark, I'd rather have Purity+Tactics than the Unyielding aura, but that's just me.

If you're replying to the post a few back, he did specify 'marshalled' (Strike True for +2 to hit) In terms of BG, you could get one to effective 10 through aim, mark target, and eye. Certain casters can push that to 12 but you really don't need 12+2D6 to hit on sprays ever

You could marshal repenters, but then you lose the benefits of open fire (which gets good when you get into the "don't need to boost" stat levels like rat 9 and pow 14 or 15 so kind of depressing) I like repenters under sevvy0, but it would be a bit of a hard sell to marshal them, AND bring sevvy0 in the themes where our marshals are actually allowed. Especially since our jack casters have lots of BG centric abilities. For clarity's sake, I was referring to this bit here. If I'm reading this right, macdaddy feels that Repenters are better off being in Malekus' battlegroup to take advantage of Open Fire. However, I don't know how he gets them up to RAT9, since Eye and Mark only take them to 5+1+2=8. Granted, the 1RAT difference from 8-9 is mostly negligible as opposed to going from 5>6 or 7>8.

He could have meant Mark + Flare for example (Sevvy0 prefers to sit safely at the back so not always will he be able to support a forward operating Repenter with Eye, especially as using Open Fire on the Repenter means he could have run). I think Malekus likes having a Reckoner a lot. The shot synergises with his feat and Flare gives good foundation for Open Fire.

If you are marking a target with the Reckoner, it won’t benefit from the feat because Malakus hasn’t activated yet. And if Malakus has already activated, then you have no more open fire shots.

That's a feature, not a bug.

Yeah, but taking the same model in every list is why everybody hates Skorne players!

Gotta say, Judi with Malekus is silly. Out-of-activation spray at RAT5+3d6 drop 1, POW14+4d6 drop 1 is a thing. Tried it vs Trollkin Champs and dropped 4 out of 5 (sadly 1 toughed) this past weekend, turning an iffy turn into a very good turn (aaaand then I got assassinated cause I had moved Malekus too far for no reason...sigh).

Even without Malekus support, the thing is a beast. Some really cute interactions: 1: Cyrenia for Mat 10 Pow 27 HoF Punches 2: Sevvy2 For awareness sprays. 3: High Reclaimer, Double HoF Action! Super random dice skews! 4: Reznick 2 for potential Rat4 Pow 17 HoF Missiles in Creators Might with Sevvy0 (Curse Plus Eye) 5: Feora 3 for Rat 8 Pow 18 HoF flamethrowers (Incite, HoJ, Battle, Eye) ALSO, Rat4 Pow 19 Rockets. (granted incite bubble means the revelator might just be better because higher rat and pow on main guns (Rat 8 Pow22 holy actual balls...)

Incite +2 Battle +2 Eye of Menoth +1 Redline +2
I guess if you take Aiyana and get Hand of Vengeance from Faithful Masses you can get to effective pow 31 (As I believe you cannot take Sevvy0 in that theme)
