In the grim Darkness of the far future, salvation will be found by the teeming masses.<br>
The Pauper Princes are a notoriously selfless cult, willing to sacrifice everything, including their lives, to protect their masters and their convictions. Unlike most cults, this is not a product of indoctrination as it is fervent belief, as the cultists are disaffected with life before joining the cult and believe the Star-Gods will grant salvation.<br>
On the tabletop, the Pauper Princes are pretty melee-centric. However, their chief focus shouldn't really be about that, it should be maximizing the protective potential of your meat-walls, with the Warlord Trait, Stratagem, and Relic all adding something to make them keep your boss alive and well.<br>

'''Special Rules'''
'''Creed-Devoted Zealots:''' You may re-roll hit rolls for attacks made with Melee Weapons in a turn where a unit with this Creed charged, was charged or performed a Heroic Intervention. Another melee sub-faction, it competes with the Twisted Helix; The problem lies in the fact that Cult has easy access to +1 to Hit via Primus (effectively making the Creed just a reroll 1s the times it applies) and Cult Icon (which combined with Primus effectively gives you the Pauper Princes Cult Creed). Can't effectively compete with C4AE and Twisted Helix. On a side note, this will save you points on buying cult icons.This also the only way (aside of custom cults) for your aberrants to get a reroll.

'''Warlord Trait - Beloved Grandsire''': Add 2 to Unquestioning Loyalty rolls made when the Warlord fails a save or is hit by a mortal wound. 2++ against mortal wounds is incredible; literally the best save in the game. Park your guy behind a pack of Neophytes and watch your opponent rage as your Primus Matrix dodges Vindicare bullets. How does it feel to have your entire army as a T'au Drone? 
**For best the use give to a Patriarch and keep a big unit of 30 conscripts next to him (since it's the largest unit with the genestealer cult or broodbrothers keyword). The Patriarch will insure that your <s>slaves</s> servants won't run away, and in return the conscripts will happily and (more importantly) consistently jump in front of the bullets, all without wasting any useful units.

'''Relics - Reliquary of Saint Tenndarc''': Friendly Pauper Princes units within 6" are immune to morale, and if a friendly infantry or biker model dies in that range it can perform one last shooting or melee attack on a 4+.

'''Stratagems - Vengeance of the Martyrs (1 CP)''': Use when a {{W40Kkeyword| Pauper Princes Character}} dies. For the rest of the battle, your units gain +1 to hit when targeting the unit that dealt the killing blow.

'''Psykic Power - Last Gasp:''' WC7. Select a PAUPER PRINCES unit within 12", until your next psychic phase models in that unit can either shoot or fight on a 4+ when killed.
