Firstly, you need to be a big bulked up Ogryn FC fan willing to charge head first into protecting the 'lil ones.
Secondly, just push the karker like a plague infested rag-doll with all the force of the Imperium vested in you.
Job's a good'en. Bless the Emperor, hopefully he'll make a bone'ead out of you yet.
alternatively if you want a serious solution just rip the door of your nearest Valkyrie and brace.

For extra style points, elbow barge the jaw off the daemanhost with your ability [F], make sure the shield is equipped. Use your weapon special, [mouse button 5 by default, i believe] and don't let go lest you want your life to drain faster than a heretic in the presence of the inquisition. Ensure it's the special ability you're using otherwise it will drain stamina on right click.

will obviously only work if your team are supporting you and actually killing it otherwise you're going to be there until the corruption gets you. I suggest two zealots with the thunder hammer like in the video to get it done quickly if you need the Banisher penance. but generally any weapon gets the job done if you use it well enough.

IT'S IMPERATIVELY IMPORTANT YOU ARE THE FIRST PERSON TO TOUCH THE HOST, YOU CANNOT PROTECT YOUR 'LIL ONES AS EFFECTIVELY WITHOUT ITS FULL ATTENTION ON YOUR GLORIOUS IMPERIAL SLAB.

I saw a setup online that works especially well for me, it was a combination of:

-Enemies within, Enemies Without
-Punishment
-Benediction
-Thy Wrath be swift
-Rising Conviction
-Purge the Wicked

Above all, it's important you have Purge the Wicked as having two Ult attacks will be the driving force of your damage output, it obviously also helps to have a thunder hammer with a decent blessing like Thrust IV and Headtaker for maximising your damage potential.

Psyker can easily block tank her with right setup as well, while the team ganks her.

just block and shiftcircle around the attacking Witch as every class, run away and let others attack or throw 2 teammates into the meatgrinder and let the Demonboi despawn after killing them. It´s only 2 and you can save them later. Or not

yeah was planning on adding a video of that for the sake of making the guide actually informative.

This guide is 10/10, can confirm that this works, only heretics will say this is fake.
