"Soulburst: For every enemy unit destroyed in an engagement by a formation where a unit has this special rule, the enemy formation suffers an additional hit, allocated as part of the Supporting Fire step"
to represent additional (40K scale) shooting and charging by the engaging formation.
I'd then assign "Soulburst" to the Ynnari believers (ie, INF units, not vehicles etc).
Hmmm, that's basically 'each hit in an engagement is worth 2 hits'. That seems a hard sell. Maybe switch the timing on the allocation to combat resolution so if you win the engagement you remove additional enemy models. Basically rather than making them more likely to win the engagement (by giving extra hits) you make them more likely to outright wipe out the enemy if they do win (by removing extra models)?

For limitations, I'd suggest prohibiting Titans, Superheavies and aircraft entirely. They're a breakaway splinter faction as yet, at this time, with no heavy armouries to draw upon.
Looking at the stuff in the 40k formation I agree on the titans and superheavies, not so the aircraft (I'd maybe include the transport aircraft too) as they have them available. Maybe add the Wraithknight too.
Also no Mandrakes, no Haemonculi Coven, no Talos as they all explicitly rejected this new God.

The Avatar of Ynnead - you could let it be summoned once every turn, but only if an enemy formation was completely destroyed by a formation that included the Soulburst rule earlier the same turn, of if a formation with the Soulburst rule was completely destroyed earlier the same turn. That would also reward hyper-aggressive play.
I think you'd then need to pay some points for it rather than the freebie it currently is because of the repeated appearances.
