Inquisitor Malkyre - 200 Points.

Inquisitor Malkyre has been an inquisitor for 300 years, though all through 

his training he seemed to remain in perpetual youth. While he was an acolyte
he suddenly began to have strange visions, accompanied with them was an 

unnatural strength and speed, a greater psychic presence, and oddly acute 

senses. He began to wake in the middle of the night from these strange

visions, and eventually he began sensetive to the light and prone to pain 

when directly in it. That is when he checked to the records and saw that his 

father (A rich nobleman on a hive world) showed the same symptoms. After 

some research he realized what all the facts pointed too. He was a half 

vampire. Malkyre's is known by inquisitors to be a great swordsman, though 

he is a good shot as well, and his senses can contribute to his abilities as 

well.

combat, otherwise he is removed as a casualty.

Swarm of Bats - Range: 18" S3 Assault 2d6

1) You need to add when during your turn you roll to see if Night Fighting turns on (before your shooting phase, after, etc)

2)If an Acolyte ever showed even a TRACE of Vampirism, or any other type of imperfection/daemonic taint, they would be purged faster than you can say 'burn the witch".

As such, you should check with the dude running the campaign to make sure that the backstory is legit.


3) Points seem reasonable.

The fluff is odd, but I'll focus on the character.

WS7 is too high, I'd go with WS6. He is, afterall, just a human. A normal inquisitor is WS4, so WS6 is really good still.

Initiative 5 might be a touch high, but that's not particularly game-breaking in any way.

Now, he has too many special rules and special wargear with special stuff. A custom character should have three special things max, normally one or two special rules and one or two unique wargear options.

You have a special sword, twin plasma pistols (pretty unique), a special cloak, then eternal warrior, stubborn, acute senses, vampire cult/vampire, swarm of bats, and bloodthirsty. That's a total of nine special things going on. In comparison, Vulkan He'stan has two unique wargear items, and one special rule (twin-linked melta/flamer/hammers) that he exchanges with combat tactics. You need to cut down a lot of the special stuff your character has.

Finally, you don't need eternal warrior. Its not necessary, all it does is make it look like you don't want your character to die. As he stands, he has too much going on. Focus on doing one thing with him.

When I made this Character it was for a campaign where there were several over the top characters, so the EW was there because most of the characters had it, stubborn is an inquisitor rule in general, acute senses, vampire stuff, bloodthirsty and swarm of bats were all trying to represent the Vampire, I can remove the plasma pistols. I posted this from a mobile version so I didn't bother to edit it, the WS7 was also a suggested drop by a friend, and was only kept because many characters had it, I will drop it to 6.. just to give you a picture I will post up some of the other characters from the Campaign


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Also, the Vampire Cult was only active when inquisition had the most Valor Points (Campaign Thing)

This is Warmaster Ravenblight, later he gained a sword which allowed him to get +2 attacks, +1 to his invul and S, and a few other boost to make him more killy, and he could still get into his better form.
