Prayers of Kahlee
1. Dance of Kahlee: A single Returned within 6" of the Priest may immediately move again up to its maximum Movement distance. If this moves them into basecontact with an enemy model, they count as charging. Difficulty: 6
2. Return of Darkness: One Returned that went out of action during the last hand-to-hand combat or Shooting phase immediately returns to the battle. Place the model within 6" of the Priest. The model
cannot be placed straight into hand-to-hand combat with an enemy model. Difficulty: 7
3. Kahlee's Fury: All Devotees and Returned within 12” of the Priest may double their attacks in the following round of combat. Difficult: 8
4. Skull Blade: The wielder gains +2 Strength in hand-to-hand combat and all hits he inflicts cause double damage (eg, 2 wounds instead of 1). The Priest must test each shooting phase he wants to use the Blade. Difficulty: 7
5. Burning Heart: You may choose a single model within base contact. The target suffers a wound (no save allowed) and thePriest of Kahlee gains an extra wound for the duration of the battle. This may take the Priest’s Wounds above his original maximum value. This spell will not affect the any Undead models. Difficulty: 9
6. Blood Rite of Kahlee: If an enemy Hero is killed (ie, your opponent rolls 11-16 on the Serious Injury chart after the battle) then the Priest may raise him to fight as a Returned in his servitude.
The dead Hero retains his characteristics and all his weapons and armour but may not use any
other equipment or skills. He may no longer run, counts as a Henchman group on his own, and
may not gain additional experience. This spell always succeeds. The new Returned follows all the normal Returned rules (immune to poison, causes fear) except for retaining his profile, weapons and armour. Difficulty: Auto

So, Ind's Undead list, kind of a mix between Undead and Witch Hunters.
Originally I was planning on having the priest as the leader, but I think I like this way better.
Not sure about the Jackals or the Wandering Spirits- let me know your opinions.
Possibly the Avatar is too powerful and/or cheap. I imagine the figure being larger than an average figure, with another set of arms stitched on.

The avatar is much too strong. You have given it 3 attacks plus 4 arms. This means it can start with 6 attacks! I understand that you wanted something different by making the construct the leader. It could be seen by the warband (and others) as a manifestation of Kahlee in physical form hence why it is the leader and I think that should be added to the fluff! I would change it to a henchman unit that 'acts' as the leader when fielded. Add 'no brain', 'may not run' and remove 3 Attack from profile due to four arms. If you want to give it a bit more flavour than make it add +1 to the priest's spells when within leadership range since priest is close to his god

The 3 Attacks were supposed to represent the 4 arms. I suppose A 1 (4) would be a better way to put it. I'll definitely consider making it a henchmen unit. Thanks for the feedback.

Second attempt, swapped Avatar with the Wandering Spirit. Not sure on the prices.
Added a skill for the Thuggee, don't think it'd make them overpowered of anything.
