If you like Dreadknights this is your Brotherhood of choice.
Swordbearers: The previous top-dog Brotherhood offering improvement to your vehicles with buff’s to hit and wound rolls. I like my extra CP from the Warlord Trait, the unique power causing additional Mortal Wounds is fine when you run out of other things to cast, and the 1 CP stratagem on a unit to re-roll 1’st for hit/wound is great. Prescient Bretheren: This is my preferred Brotherhood although I’ve also been experimenting with Preservers. Rapiers: Lots of extra melee attacks available, and exploding 6’s to hit in melee for a 1 CP stratagem! Charge up a unit with Kaldor Draigo’s re-rolls and watch them go to work. Now that we can no longer mix Brotherhoods you’ll want to carefully make your selection! Each Brotherhood has a unique stratagem, Psychic Power, and Warlord trait available to it no unique relics mind you. There are also a few “Brotherhoods” to consider (i.e, the sub factions) that will suit different playstyles and unit choices. My Prescient Brethren ready to go at Day 2 of a GT Enemy resistance to Mortal Wounds can really ruin your day. Secondary objectives for matched play are a bit limited (Purifying Ritual did need the nerf though), and can sometimes conflict with your list. Overall sub-par shooting lacking AP, challenging into Void Armor and Armor of Contempt forces.
Just about every unit is a Psyker….which can make Abhor the Witch very painful.
