How to complete a circular shape using an array modifier?

Question

How would I use the array modifier to duplicate this pattern all the way around the top and bottom circle faces? Whenever I try to use the array modifier, the pattern just copies next to itself. Its hopefully going to be a grenade. Ive added the blend file in case anyone can help. Thanks

Beautiful vase you got there ;) You don't need this addon if you use object offset but it makes things more straight forward I guess. – kheetor Mar 06 '18 at 11:02
Thanks atek but the links are dead. Much appreciated though – obloquy Mar 06 '18 at 13:14
Solved. Had to create an empty in the center and rotate the pattern on the axis. Thanks again for your help guys – obloquy Mar 06 '18 at 14:48
