Inspired by playing Space marine for the first time in months, I decided that I would do this for some fun. As always with any thread in this section, C&C welcome! I thought that the abilities displayed in ther game would make a very unique captain and with all the different options he can get in Space Marine would make him highly customisable. I am not aware of what has exactly changed in the latest codex in regards to point costs in general but I'm sure not much is different overall. As I don't have the newest dex either, and they didn't exist in the game, he doesn't have access to Relics.


Captain Titus of the Ultramarines 155pts (I'm keeping his inital cost low due to the basic equipment and the lack of a 4++)

Frag and Krak Grenades
MK X "Defender" Power Armour

A modified version of the common Mk VII armour, the Defender features a small imbuilt force field generator that defends the wearer from many attacks that would otherwise pentrate his regular armour. Although not as potent as a Shield Shield or Rosarius, it fdoes provide a measure of protection that saved Tiotus' life many times. The Mk X is an experimental pattern of armour and Titus is one of the handful of marines chosen to field test the equipment.

The Mk X Defender armour provides a 3+ armour save and a 5+ibnvulnerable Sacve.


Special Rules
And they Shall Know No Fear
Independent Character
Chapter Tactics: Ultramarines

Note that Titus cannot be fielded in the same army that contains Captain Sicarius

Executioner's Strike

Titus is a skilled duelist and utterly loyal to his Chapter and the Emperor. When Titus seems to be on his last breath, his resolve strengthens with each foe he vanquishes.



Wen engaged in a challenge, Titus may choose to perform an execution instead of attacking normally. If he chooses to do so, instead of attacking normally, both combatants roll a D6 and add their strength value, including any bonuses from Close Combat weapons they can use (such as Power Axes or Thunder hammers). If Titus' score is higher, the enemy suffers 1 wound with the ID special rule and the AP value of whatever weapon Titus was using. If the enmy scores higher, Titus suffers 1 wound from the weapon the enemy model uses. if Titusd successfully slays a model in this way, he recovers 1 wound previously lost in battle.

EITHER THAT VERSION OF IT OR

Instead of attacking normally in a challenge, Titus may make a single attack at Str 6 and with the ID special rule. This strength can be modified by weapons and equipment and special rules that grant bonus to Strength

Immune to the Warp

Titus apparently has an innate ability that makes him immune to the touch of the Immaterium, and as such, he has the Adamantium Will Special Rule, and a 4+ Invulnerable Save against Psychic Powers.

Kraken Bolter

A magnificently crafted Boltgun loaded with Kraken Pentrator Rounds

Rg 30"
Str 4
AP 4
Type Rapid Fire, Master Crafted

Graia Pattern Power Axe

The Forge World of Graia have developed a new matierial from which they developed weapons, in particular, power axes. While the lack of weight diminishes some cleaving power, the armour penetration capabilities are just as effective

Rg -
Str User
AP 2
Type Melee

Graia Pattern Vengeance Launcher

A "Sticky Bomb" launcher created prior to the invasion of Graia, the Vengeance Launcher is a powerful and effective wapon, allowing the wielder to fire his shots with high accuracy and detonate where and when they would do the most damage.

Rg 18"
Str 4
AP 4
Type Assault 1, Blast*

When firing the Vengeance Launcher, do not use the blast marker and scatter dice. Instead, roll to hit normally and allocate the shot to the nearest model, (or the model of your choice if you score a Prescision Hit). Thern place the blast marker over that model and resolve as normal, but without scatter.

Purifty Seals

Righteous Fury- Grants Furious Charge and Rage
Supreme Fury- Grants +1 Strength and +2 Attacks
Marksman's Honour- Grants +1BS and Precision Hits on a 5+

I'm sorry, but the Executioner's Strike rule is just insane. If I give him a Thunder Hammer and Supreme Fury, he's now S9, pretty much guaranteed to ID anything he comes up against now.

Any suggestion on how to fix it while retaining the same general idea?

You could just port over Captain Sicarius's rule: swaps all attacks for one at S6 which causes ID if it hits. Loses a bit of flavour but at least has a precedent.

That reminds me of something! I meant to restrict his use alongside Sicarius. I'll try that. Thanks.

Wow this looks like fun! I like what you did with Titus making him a lot like he is in-game and making him very customizable.

Isn't there also a "fury mode" in the game too? I haven't played space marine so I may be wrong but from what I heard, if you kill a certain amount of enemies, you can temporarily gain a bonus to damage and can regenerate shields. What if Titus had a sort of temporary once a game special rule that gives him rage for 1 turn?

I thought it might make him especially complex, so I representednit ny the Purity seals Righteous Fury (Rage and Furious Charge), Surpreme Fury (+1 Str and +2 Attacks) and Marksman's Honour (+1 BS and Prescision Shots on a 5 or 6)

well first thing, is i dodnt see an iron halo for him. captains all have iron halos i believe.
which would then render his amour kind of useless..... maybe make it give him fnp?

Well he can get an Iron Halo upgrade, as per the game.

It's cool to because in the new space marine stern guard set Titus head is in their. What company is he captain of anyways? 6th or 7th? You did it really well though if he was in the real codex he would be an auto include, he would be the only HQ choice to be able to choose even one special type weapon and he can have TWO!

It was never officially stated but its is speculated he's 2nd Company due to the gold shoulder trim, which represents the Ultramarine's 2nd Company. Hence I banned him and Sicarius from being included together.

Aww you can't do that lol Sicarius is awesome too, he should be after the master of fleet and master of relics and whatever other masters there are. I do see what you mean though. I forgot about the trim on the shoulder pads identifying their company. Like every model you ever see for a marine in ultra marines is gold trimmed

Hmm it's it's interesting that they put Titus head in the stern guard veteran box maybe he moved up from Their and took Sicarius' place eventually. Or maybe it's much longer ago then we thought before Sicarius became the captain of 2nd company. Interesting.
