It's not on a page, it's an official GW unit.

Ever heard of the GW Chaos Doomsday Device? I ain't got the stats but it was an AV14 all around box that isn't allowed to move and rolls for random results of what it should do each turn.

Ha, I had not, but I've found The Rules Here
Now checking my bitz box for parts to make it, and ordering a pony.

Well, Stat wise lets start with a veteran. 25. +25 for +1 ws and W, +15 for the 2+, +15 for Fearless, +20 for the Death Blade, +30 for bio-injectors. 130. So you were a little over points wise

Oh hush. I was thinking of giving him Stubborn, but Fearless won out, based on simply passing things being awful easy to deal with. Thanks for the breakdown, though. I'll likely price him at 140, just to smooth over any friendly disagreements.

just one of the things that makes me smile and your right it is better and overcosting is better than undercosting as we say

I've just been working on the fluff for my army, and came up with this guy. I'd like to hear people's opinions.

The fluff:
Zerathian Guardsmen are proud but humble men; as such, little is known about their outstanding deeds. Some stories simply cannot be suppressed, however; such is the story of Master Sergeant Cornelius “Lefty” McCracken. During a skirmish with Orks in the Ryza warzone, MSgt. McCracken lost his hand when a nearby Shokk Attack gun exploded. Before the wound could even begin to bleed, McCracken picked up a piece of red hot shrapnel and cauterized the wound. In spite of the immense pain, he picked up his power sword and continued to fight, inspiring his men and driving fear into the hearts of the Orks. Not long after, the Orks retreated, believing McCracken to be some sort of inhuman super soldier. Word spread amongst the Waaagh!, and from that point on, Orks tended to give a wide berth to any Guardsman in Zerathian camouflage... especially if he had only one hand.

The crunch:
Master Sergeant Cornelius "Lefty" McCracken............................................50 points
One Veteran Squad in your army may replace its Veteran Sergeant with Master Sergeant "Lefty" McCracken.

WS:4 BS:4 S:4 T:3 W:1 I:3 A:2 Ld:8 Sv:5+

I don't know why exactly, but I rather like this character...
So - help and advice!

Orks don't really get scared, and if something is killy, that's just more fun!
They may retreat, but mostly to get more boys.
Also, wouldn't he just get a bionic replacement after the battle?
The Bionic replacement would explain the +1 Strength too.
Causing Fear in orks, simply by being that 'killy' that the weaker ones are backing off temporarily to let the bigger boyz deal with it is probably fine.

I would give him a Laspistol, aswell as his Power Sword, then I'd give him Hatred (Orks) and Preferred Enemy (Orks).
And because I feel nice - Shiny unit layout / templatey thing.

I'm assuming that having to do everything with one hand might increase the strength in that arm. As for ATSKNF, I was drawing from the bit in the fluff where his men were inspired by his continued fighting. It was a toss-up between Fearless and ATSKNF, but Fearless seemed (to me) a little OP and/or out of character for IG.

Orks wouldn't be afraid of him per se, but since they believe him to be some sort of inhuman super soldier, it would certainly cause them to think twice.

As for a bionic implant, I kinda feel like he'd refuse it simply because he'd feel he doesn't need it to get the job done.

I also considered giving him a shooting weapon as well as his power weapon and making it to where he couldn't use both in the same round or something, but I kinda liked the idea of him being a strictly CC BAMF. Sorta that whole "drive me closer so I can kill them with my sword" attitude.

Capitan of the Ice Drakes 4th Company during their campaign around the Eye of Terror, liberating dozens of worlds from chaos control. It was during a ground assault on a corrupted Hiveworld in the Nemesis sub-sector that their strike cruiser Divine Redemption was shot out of low orbit, and all remaining munitions and marines were evacuated via Drop Pod. Stuck fighting a groundwar without hope of reinforcement the company fought on all the harder against the cultists. It was during this campaign that Capitan Drakassi was felled by an ambush. His soldiers fought to reclaim his body, finding him in a comatose state activated by his sus-an membrane. Working feverishly for days the company apothecary was unable to bring him out of it. The company techmarine was the one who finally came up with the idea of interring him in the chapters most ancient relic, the Iron Carapace, a Dreadnought carapace designed to wreck havoc in close quarters. Upon his interment he resumed command of the company in these most dire of situations, though he leads with vengeance and hatred against his enemies, recklessly attacking anything within arms reach.

Azkoth Vryce, Lord Sorcerer of the Thousand Sons
“The treachery of the Imperium shall not be forgotten. With their last breath, they shall bear witness to the end of days.”

The Council of Nikea. The destruction of Prospero. Incalculable knowledge lost. Constant reminders of the Emperor’s treachery. That he would send the Space Wolves against other Astartes is proof of his arrogance and false claim of rulership! Azkoth will never forgive these actions and has dedicated his service to Tzeentch with the promise that he and the Thousand Sons shall seek vengeance for their crimes. He has vowed to show the Imperium the folly of their ignorance and the price of their treachery.

Forced to seek safety during the destruction of Prospero, their Primarch, Magnus, bent the powers of the empyrean to his will and transported them to the Planet of the Sorcerers. Deep in the Eye of Terror, the mutating powers of the Warp soon began to takes its toll on the Legion. The horror Azkoth felt at watching his brethren become grotesque versions of their former selves was immense. The other Sorcerers had already implored Magnus to help them stop the rampant mutations, but their pleas fell upon deaf ears.

Ahriman, the Chief Librarian begun taking matters into his own hands. He had pored over his Primarch’s rescued cache of lore and had devised a way to stop the mutation. Ahriman would need all the help he could get, so he called upon all the sorcerers to aid him in his plan. Azkoth and many others agreed, but others simply refused. So it was that Ahriman, Azkoth and several of the most powerful sorcerers of the legion wove a spell that Ahriman had created himself – The Rubric of Ahriman. The spell was successful, though in a way none could forsee. Magnus, enraged, banished Ahriman from the Planet of Sorcerers along with the others who assisted.

For a time, Azkoth wandered the Eye, offering his power and warhost for rewards of lost artefacts and heretical lore; sometimes just taking what he wanted by force. Many times a cult leader would find himself simply stripped of his property – or his life – after making a deal with Azkoth. His quest for vengeance propelled him to plan well executed raids into realspace, forcing a response from loyal Astartes. Sectors rumored to be patrolled by the Space Wolves would be primary targets.

Azkoth’s power and influence within the banished Thousand Sons grew over time, and with his patron God as well. He struck many pacts with powerful Daemons, learning sorceries and knowledge that would blast lesser minds into insanity. He waged war for two centuries in the Lokia system, slaughtering millions in the search for the rumored Dolmen Gates, using an ancient Crone World for his base of operations.

The Eldar, furious at the taint of Chaos marring one of their ancient homeworlds, mustered a force to scour the planet clean. Tzeentch had seen this possible path and warned Azkoth of the coming Eldar. Azkoth ambushed the Eldar as they emerged from a hidden Webway portal beneath the planet’s surface. After the slaughter, Azkoth plucked the soul stones from the corpses of the Farseers and two Warlocks and later presented them as his personal gifts to Tzeentch. Tzeentch rewarded him with his personal Sigil, glorifying Azkoth as one of his most exalted Champions.

Azkoth, realizing now that the Dolmen Gates were unnecessary, notified Ahriman of the Webway portal and increased his presence on the planet. He built a large temple to Tzeentch and soon found cultists and other Chaos Marines loyal to Tzeentch flocking to the planet. Azkoth followed Ahriman into the Webway and helped him bring battle to the Eldar within, while simultaneously seeking entrance to the Black Library. They were repelled at great cost to the Eldar and after being expelled from the Webway, the Eldar destroyed it from within, sealing off the portal. Enraged, Ahriman bade Azkoth to continue his pogrom in the system and find the Dolmen Gates.

It was during one of the final battles in the sector that Azkoth was able to extract the promised vengeance from the Space Wolves. His warband, having beat back an offensive launched to push them off Volpe IX, and tracked the survivors back to their staging area.

The Wolves were badly beaten, having taken severe casualties during the failed offensive. When Azkoth found the survivors, there was perhaps half a company of Wolves, led by four Rune Priests. Azkoth was furious that the same Legion had begun using the same powers the Emperor himself forbade! The very same Legion decried him and his kind sorcerers and destroyed his home planet! He gathered his allies to him devising a devious plan. Under the cover of night, Azkoth’s force surrounded the camp and launched their assault. The Space Wolves fought back valiantly, but were no match for the full strength force arrayed against them.

Azkoth ordered the Priests be left alive, but the rest of the company were to be slaughtered. Their corpses were skinned.

Producing a scroll he obtained in the Eye of Terror, Azkoth wove a spell which bound the skins together to make a large cauldron. As the last stitch slid home, he placed his force axe within the newly procured vessel, and strung the Rune Priests upside down over the cauldron.

Incanting a rite he learned from a Lord of Change, Azkoth slit the throats of the Priests, allowing their blood to fill the cauldron. As the last of their lifeblood bathed his axe, and their souls departed, he finished the ancient Rite of Binding. The force axe consumed the blood of the Priests and absorbed their souls, trapping them for eternity.
Driven insane by their imprisonment, they howl and shriek their frustration and anger, and search for any escape from their cage. The axe, now given sentience by the maddened souls that inhabit it, now seeks other powerful souls to trap within it, damning them to the same fate.

Azkoth considers his imbued weapon to be the ultimate trophy, and to this day he laughs at the torment inflicted on the souls bound inside.

A fitting payment for their treachery.

Enraged, Ahriman bade Azkoth to continue his pogrom in the system and find the Dolmen Gates.

It was during one of the final battles in the sector that Azkoth was able to extract the promised vengeance from the Space Wolves. His warband, having beat back an offensive launched to push them off Volpe IX, and tracked the survivors back to their staging area.

The Wolves were badly beaten, having taken severe casualties during the failed offensive. When Azkoth found the survivors, there was perhaps half a company of Wolves, led by four Rune Priests. Azkoth was furious that the same Legion had begun using the same powers the Emperor himself forbade! The very same Legion decried him and his kind sorcerers and destroyed his home planet! He gathered his allies to him devising a devious plan. Under the cover of night, Azkoth’s force surrounded the camp and launched their assault. The Space Wolves fought back valiantly, but were no match for the full strength force arrayed against them.

Azkoth ordered the Priests be left alive, but the rest of the company were to be slaughtered. Their corpses were skinned.

Producing a scroll he obtained in the Eye of Terror, Azkoth wove a spell which bound the skins together to make a large cauldron. As the last stitch slid home, he placed his force axe within the newly procured vessel, and strung the Rune Priests upside down over the cauldron.

Incanting a rite he learned from a Lord of Change, Azkoth slit the throats of the Priests, allowing their blood to fill the cauldron. As the last of their lifeblood bathed his axe, and their souls departed, he finished the ancient Rite of Binding. The force axe consumed the blood of the Priests and absorbed their souls, trapping them for eternity.
Driven insane by their imprisonment, they howl and shriek their frustration and anger, and search for any escape from their cage. The axe, now given sentience by the maddened souls that inhabit it, now seeks other powerful souls to trap within it, damning them to the same fate.

Azkoth considers his imbued weapon to be the ultimate trophy, and to this day he laughs at the torment inflicted on the souls bound inside.

A fitting payment for their treachery.

Azkoth Vryce, Lord Sorcerer of the Thousand Sons
“The treachery of the Imperium shall not be forgotten. With their last breath, they shall bear witness to the end of days.”

The Council of Nikea. The destruction of Prospero. Incalculable knowledge lost. Constant reminders of the Emperor’s treachery. That he would send the Space Wolves against other Astartes is proof of his arrogance and false claim of rulership! Azkoth will never forgive these actions and has dedicated his service to Tzeentch with the promise that he and the Thousand Sons shall seek vengeance for their crimes. He has vowed to show the Imperium the folly of their ignorance and the price of their treachery.

Forced to seek safety during the destruction of Prospero, their Primarch, Magnus, bent the powers of the empyrean to his will and transported them to the Planet of the Sorcerers. Deep in the Eye of Terror, the mutating powers of the Warp soon began to takes its toll on the Legion. The horror Azkoth felt at watching his brethren become grotesque versions of their former selves was immense. The other Sorcerers had already implored Magnus to help them stop the rampant mutations, but their pleas fell upon deaf ears.

Ahriman, the Chief Librarian begun taking matters into his own hands. He had pored over his Primarch’s rescued cache of lore and had devised a way to stop the mutation. Ahriman would need all the help he could get, so he called upon all the sorcerers to aid him in his plan. Azkoth and many others agreed, but others simply refused. So it was that Ahriman, Azkoth and several of the most powerful sorcerers of the legion wove a spell that Ahriman had created himself – The Rubric of Ahriman. The spell was successful, though in a way none could forsee. Magnus, enraged, banished Ahriman from the Planet of Sorcerers along with the others who assisted.

For a time, Azkoth wandered the Eye, offering his power and warhost for rewards of lost artefacts and heretical lore; sometimes just taking what he wanted by force. Many times a cult leader would find himself simply stripped of his property – or his life – after making a deal with Azkoth. His quest for vengeance propelled him to plan well executed raids into realspace, forcing a response from loyal Astartes. Sectors rumored to be patrolled by the Space Wolves would be primary targets.

Azkoth’s power and influence within the banished Thousand Sons grew over time, and with his patron God as well. He struck many pacts with powerful Daemons, learning sorceries and knowledge that would blast lesser minds into insanity. He waged war for two centuries in the Lokia system, slaughtering millions in the search for the rumored Dolmen Gates, using an ancient Crone World for his base of operations.

The Eldar, furious at the taint of Chaos marring one of their ancient homeworlds, mustered a force to scour the planet clean. Tzeentch had seen this possible path and warned Azkoth of the coming Eldar. Azkoth ambushed the Eldar as they emerged from a hidden Webway portal beneath the planet’s surface. After the slaughter, Azkoth plucked the soul stones from the corpses of the Farseers and two Warlocks and later presented them as his personal gifts to Tzeentch. Tzeentch rewarded him with his personal Sigil, glorifying Azkoth as one of his most exalted Champions.

Azkoth, realizing now that the Dolmen Gates were unnecessary, notified Ahriman of the Webway portal and increased his presence on the planet. He built a large temple to Tzeentch and soon found cultists and other Chaos Marines loyal to Tzeentch flocking to the planet. Azkoth followed Ahriman into the Webway and helped him bring battle to the Eldar within, while simultaneously seeking entrance to the Black Library.

Now THAT is what I call backstory. I love it. As for the character, seems a little OP for 205, making 1k Sons troops, being a psyker lvl 3, the axe and inferno bolts. But its a GREAT character. Maybe 215 or 220? Again, really like the background.

Considering that char is priced directly out of the CSM book & MoT on a sorc always turns TS's into troops, I'd honestly say he's right on. Just his wargear along w/ base price is 175 (again, priced right out of the CSM codex) and I basically made his weapon the same price as the Axe of Blind Fury.

The Howling Axe is worth a bit more than the Axe of Blind Fury.
But to confirm pricing:Total: 240
So you're a little under at 205. oops forgot Fearless and Sigil of Corruption
Total 275
So a LOT under at 205.
But then the Termi Armour gets to be a lil cheaper.

Giving him the Terminator Armour as-is at +25pts is fine because the inferno bolts are already included in the original profile, but I would not give the option for the combi-weapons.

Haha better to over estimate I suppose, captain Cortez of the crimson fists already has a ton of fluff on him, supposedly one of.the toughest space marines ever to live.

I like to keep things simple, so a master crafted power fist, a 3+ invulnerable ( he was infact the first model to ever have a 3+ inv in 3rd), it will not die and eternal warrior, he is a crimson fist so is stubborn, he was never.portrayed as being any more fearless than a run of the mill space marine or a particularly great leader, but was hard as nails.

Don't know much of the CF fluff, sorry! and your right on both accounts. Better to overestimate and he should NOT be better than the Chapter Master.

Forced to seek safety during the destruction of Prospero, their Primarch, Magnus, bent the powers of the empyrean to his will and transported them to the Planet of the Sorcerers. Deep in the Eye of Terror, the mutating powers of the Warp soon began to takes its toll on the Legion. The horror Azkoth felt at watching his brethren become grotesque versions of their former selves was immense. The other Sorcerers had already implored Magnus to help them stop the rampant mutations, but their pleas fell upon deaf ears.

Ahriman, the Chief Librarian begun taking matters into his own hands. He had pored over his Primarch’s rescued cache of lore and had devised a way to stop the mutation. Ahriman would need all the help he could get, so he called upon all the sorcerers to aid him in his plan. Azkoth and many others agreed, but others simply refused. So it was that Ahriman, Azkoth and several of the most powerful sorcerers of the legion wove a spell that Ahriman had created himself – The Rubric of Ahriman. The spell was successful, though in a way none could forsee. Magnus, enraged, banished Ahriman from the Planet of Sorcerers along with the others who assisted.

For a time, Azkoth wandered the Eye, offering his power and warhost for rewards of lost artefacts and heretical lore; sometimes just taking what he wanted by force. Many times a cult leader would find himself simply stripped of his property – or his life – after making a deal with Azkoth. His quest for vengeance propelled him to plan well executed raids into realspace, forcing a response from loyal Astartes. Sectors rumored to be patrolled by the Space Wolves would be primary targets.

Azkoth’s power and influence within the banished Thousand Sons grew over time, and with his patron God as well. He struck many pacts with powerful Daemons, learning sorceries and knowledge that would blast lesser minds into insanity. He waged war for two centuries in the Lokia system, slaughtering millions in the search for the rumored Dolmen Gates, using an ancient Crone World for his base of operations.

The Eldar, furious at the taint of Chaos marring one of their ancient homeworlds, mustered a force to scour the planet clean. Tzeentch had seen this possible path and warned Azkoth of the coming Eldar. Azkoth ambushed the Eldar as they emerged from a hidden Webway portal beneath the planet’s surface. After the slaughter, Azkoth plucked the soul stones from the corpses of the Farseers and two Warlocks and later presented them as his personal gifts to Tzeentch. Tzeentch rewarded him with his personal Sigil, glorifying Azkoth as one of his most exalted Champions.

Azkoth, realizing now that the Dolmen Gates were unnecessary, notified Ahriman of the Webway portal and increased his presence on the planet. He built a large temple to Tzeentch and soon found cultists and other Chaos Marines loyal to Tzeentch flocking to the planet. Azkoth followed Ahriman into the Webway and helped him bring battle to the Eldar within, while simultaneously seeking entrance to the Black Library. They were repelled at great cost to the Eldar and after being expelled from the Webway, the Eldar destroyed it from within, sealing off the portal. Enraged, Ahriman bade Azkoth to continue his pogrom in the system and find the Dolmen Gates.

It was during one of the final battles in the sector that Azkoth was able to extract the promised vengeance from the Space Wolves. His warband, having beat back an offensive launched to push them off Volpe IX, and tracked the survivors back to their staging area.

The Wolves were badly beaten, having taken severe casualties during the failed offensive. When Azkoth found the survivors, there was perhaps half a company of Wolves, led by four Rune Priests. Azkoth was furious that the same Legion had begun using the same powers the Emperor himself forbade! The very same Legion decried him and his kind sorcerers and destroyed his home planet! He gathered his allies to him devising a devious plan. Under the cover of night, Azkoth’s force surrounded the camp and launched their assault. The Space Wolves fought back valiantly, but were no match for the full strength force arrayed against them.

Azkoth ordered the Priests be left alive, but the rest of the company were to be slaughtered. Their corpses were skinned.

Producing a scroll he obtained in the Eye of Terror, Azkoth wove a spell which bound the skins together to make a large cauldron. As the last stitch slid home, he placed his force axe within the newly procured vessel, and strung the Rune Priests upside down over the cauldron.

Incanting a rite he learned from a Lord of Change, Azkoth slit the throats of the Priests, allowing their blood to fill the cauldron. As the last of their lifeblood bathed his axe, and their souls departed, he finished the ancient Rite of Binding. The force axe consumed the blood of the Priests and absorbed their souls, trapping them for eternity.
Driven insane by their imprisonment, they howl and shriek their frustration and anger, and search for any escape from their cage. The axe, now given sentience by the maddened souls that inhabit it, now seeks other powerful souls to trap within it, damning them to the same fate.

Azkoth considers his imbued weapon to be the ultimate trophy, and to this day he laughs at the torment inflicted on the souls bound inside.

A fitting payment for their treachery.

Made some stat changes, should bring him more inline w/ cost. However, there's absolutely no way you're going to convince me that a weapon w/ -worse- stats than the Axe of Blind Rage & -also- gives USR's to an opponent is worth 10 pts more.

If I remember correctly, aren't the Night Lords one of the few legions to not use daemons or align themselves with any god? They really don't like Chaos, they just dislike the Imperium far more.

Also, not a clue what that Daemonic rule is.

More or less true. But like most CSM, they will align themselves w/ a warhost that does if they get something in return.

The Daemon USR gives a 5++ & Fear.

THe character is from Aaron Dembski-Bowden's excellent Night Lords series, basically he got possessed against his will by a Tzeentch daemon.
The Daemonic rule gives a 5+ invulnerable save and causes Fear

So against 1 in 16 armies, and only when they specifically charge him (and his unit) - not exactly a massive drawback there

To be honest, I agree with Vryce. AOBR gives +2 S. -1 WS and BS is generally equal in points to +2S (10 per), plus the Howling Axe does not have Rage, which would add an additional attack, assuming he didn't fail the DW roll. The additional of both Unwieldy and the Space Wolves stuff is greatly detrimental to the effectiveness of the Axe, the SW stuff less so but still a slight hindrance should he both play against SW and they charge the unit. Hell, I'm not even convinced the Axe should cost 35 points - A power Axe is 15 points, plus Daemon weapon, plus Force, plus the SW rules... I do not think the DW and Force rules are worth an additional 20 points. Considering that the Force Weapon is built into the cost of the Sorcerer, the weapon should not cost 35 points.

Azkoth, realizing now that the Dolmen Gates were unnecessary, notified Ahriman of the Webway portal and increased his presence on the planet. He built a large temple to Tzeentch and soon found cultists and other Chaos Marines loyal to Tzeentch flocking to the planet. Azkoth followed Ahriman into the Webway and helped him bring battle to the Eldar within, while simultaneously seeking entrance to the Black Library. They were repelled at great cost to the Eldar and after being expelled from the Webway, the Eldar destroyed it from within, sealing off the portal. Enraged, Ahriman bade Azkoth to continue his pogrom in the system and find the Dolmen Gates.

It was during one of the final battles in the sector that Azkoth was able to extract the promised vengeance from the Space Wolves. His warband, having beat back an offensive launched to push them off Volpe IX, and tracked the survivors back to their staging area.

The Wolves were badly beaten, having taken severe casualties during the failed offensive. When Azkoth found the survivors, there was perhaps half a company of Wolves, led by four Rune Priests. Azkoth was furious that the same Legion had begun using the same powers the Emperor himself forbade! The very same Legion decried him and his kind sorcerers and destroyed his home planet! He gathered his allies to him devising a devious plan. Under the cover of night, Azkoth’s force surrounded the camp and launched their assault. The Space Wolves fought back valiantly, but were no match for the full strength force arrayed against them.

Azkoth ordered the Priests be left alive, but the rest of the company were to be slaughtered. Their corpses were skinned.

Producing a scroll he obtained in the Eye of Terror, Azkoth wove a spell which bound the skins together to make a large cauldron. As the last stitch slid home, he placed his force axe within the newly procured vessel, and strung the Rune Priests upside down over the cauldron.

Incanting a rite he learned from a Lord of Change, Azkoth slit the throats of the Priests, allowing their blood to fill the cauldron. As the last of their lifeblood bathed his axe, and their souls departed, he finished the ancient Rite of Binding. The force axe consumed the blood of the Priests and absorbed their souls, trapping them for eternity.
Driven insane by their imprisonment, they howl and shriek their frustration and anger, and search for any escape from their cage. The axe, now given sentience by the maddened souls that inhabit it, now seeks other powerful souls to trap within it, damning them to the same fate.

Azkoth considers his imbued weapon to be the ultimate trophy, and to this day he laughs at the torment inflicted on the souls bound inside.

A fitting payment for their treachery.

Chaos Artefact: Howling Axe of Woe - – This artefact was forged when Azkoth intoned ancient rites of binding and soaked the blade of his force axe in the blood of four captured Rune Priests. The souls of the Rune Priests were bound into the axe and suffer in eternal torment.

In addition, Space Wolves have the Hatred: Azkoth special rule and when charging Azkoth or a unit he is attached to they also gain Furious Charge.

*Edited stats.

Made some stat changes, should bring him more inline w/ cost. However, there's absolutely no way you're going to convince me that a weapon w/ -worse- stats than the Axe of Blind Rage & -also- gives USR's to an opponent is worth 10 pts more.

Ohcrap - just noticed I missed the Sigil and Fearless in my pointing. *goes and fixes that*

It's basically a Power Axe, with the Daemon Weapon and Force rules, and only gives Hatred and Furious Charge to Space Wolves.
So against 1 in 16 armies, and only when they specifically charge him (and his unit) - not exactly a massive drawback there

Axe of Blind Fury requires you have Mark of Khorne which is 10-15pts on the models that can take the Axe, gives rage (matters for princes. ) and reduces the models WS by 1.
But sure, lets go with 35pts

So with your changes:

Spoiler:

Sorc - 60
+1W +10
Inferno Bolts +10
Mark of Tzeentch +15
Sigil of Corruption +25
Spell Familiar +15
Howling Axe +35
+Fearless +10

+Veterans of the Long War +5

235

Just so we're clear here, if GW used the same guidelines that have appeared here for stat increases & special abilities - Typhus would cost over 300 pts. Food for thought.

Cheers mate
I might make Aurum AP2 rather than Fleshbane
mastery level 1 seems too good, after all he doesn't use his forewarning in combat situations, only before/after
Mercutian's heavy bolter i feel I have changed enough, rending is a bit over the top
I might also add a rule to reflect that the night lords fight like murderers rather than soldiers

These things are 3x TL Flamer or 3x TL Melta... eesh.
If you say a Flamer on a dreadnought is 5pts each, then a TL Flamer is worth roughly 7.5pts, meaning 3 is 22.5pts.
Lets call it 25pts, and lets say a DCCW with Storm Bolter is worth roughly 25pts, so that point is fine...
So base, 140 is more than likely fine.
Then the Meltaguns... 10pts base, 15 for TL, 45 for 3xTL, meaning replacing Flamers with Meltaguns should probably be 20pts.

It's probably fine at 140+20 for 3 TL Meltaguns.. but it is a rather brutal dread.

No one ever said Aurum is a GLaive ENcarmine
Glaive Encarmines, as of Fear to Tread, are used exclusively by the Sanguinary GUard. Aurum was stolen from a BLood Angels Captain. Since even Raldoron, the 1st Captain, didn't have a glaive encarmine, I assummed quite reasonably that Aurum could be simply a very well made power sword. The rules I gave it are similar to the rules for Sammael's raven sword, reflecting its properties as a relic, master crafted sword

Na, 140 base is probably fine. It's an Ironclad replacing a DCCW and Stormbolter, for 3 TL flamers.
So 140 base, then 160 if it has the Hurricane Melta.

Not only that, his masterful bladework forced Alpharius back and he managed to bury his sword to the hilt in Alpharius' chestplate, thus becoming the only known unaugmented human to wound a Primarch in hand to hand combat. Unable to retrieve his sword, and with a grudging acknowledgement of 'Thats all you'll get' from the Primarch, he was promptly killed.

Characteristics:

-Stealth
-
Outflank

-Loner
-
Scout

-Power To The People
Most of the time, a typical infantryman is doomed when confronted with an armored vehicle. However, after years of experience in anti tank warfare reinforcing his natural aptitude with his grenade launcher, Anselm Venables has learnt to "snipe" a vehicle, and is able to disable specific functions of an armored vehicle and crippling it.

Effect:
Roll two extra D6 when Venables manages to hit an armored vehicle. Apply the following effects based on the result:
Total value of 2: Instant kill on the vehicle in question.
Total value of 3-4: Vehicle cannot move or shoot for two turns.
Total value of 5-6: One of the vehicle's armament is permanently disabled.
Total value of 7-8: The vehicle cannot move for two turns, but can continue shooting.
Total value of 9-12: No result, presume regular calculations.

-
“Mines Everywhere”

Whenever an opponent’s model mobilizes his unit, roll two D6. If the combined result is 4 or less, the opponent’s models (measured on a squad by squad basis) are hit by Anselm’s mines, which has a Strength of 8 and AP of 3. If an armored vehicle is hit, consider it a hit on the back armor. This characteristic continues even after Anselm is killed in combat. 



“Selfish Bastard”

In the cases in which an enemy model fires on Anselm, and there are other models 10’‘ around his vicinity, allocate the shots to other models.

Wargear

-Master crafted Grenade Launcher

-Melta Grenade
-Demolition Charge
-Close Quarters Weapon

Venables can upgrade his armor for additional points. Can take both
-
Carapace Armor for 5pts
-Camo Cloak for 5pts


Lore:
Anselm Venables is a medium ranking member of the Undertaker’s guild with a famed reputation as the “Armor Hunter”, having neutralized countless numbers of armored targets over the course of his career. While quite amiable and talkative outside of combat, Venables was a distinct loner and individualist in the heat of war, prioritizing his own survival above everything else. In his first deployment in the Damocles Gulf Crusade, he sacrificed his whole platoon to take down two Hazard battle suits. When questioned about his behavior, Venables was known to have ambivalently stated to have “sacrificed his comrades as bait” for much larger beasts. This event nearly had Venables executed, but the surprisingly merciful Imperial authorities at the time decided it was best to deploy Venables alone as penance for his actions. Anselm Venables not only managed to survive, but thrived in reconnaissance duties and destroying tanks. His experiences in this niche of warfare was recorded in his memoirs, and was particularly popular among light infantry regiments which were unable to field anti-armor vehicles so openly.

Over the course of his duties in the Damocles Gulf Crusade (M41 742-745), Anselm Venables destroyed over 300 Tau battle suits with carefully planned ambushes. This was the reason why Anselm Venables came to be known as the “Armor Hunter” by both the Imperium and the Tau. This was a particular triumph for his home planet Frontier World Nihilum, which its Imperial Guards were too poor and hated to own tanks.

The seemingly random destruction caused by Venables was ignored as a joint effort by the Tau for quite some time, until a Pathfinder team discovered that the countless number of battlesuits scrapped was done by a single man. In M41 745, the Tau sent seven XV25 stealth teams to eliminate the previously hidden threat against their armor columns, as the stealth Team was asked never to return until the mission was completed. The Search and Destroy Operation lasted an intense nine days, in which thirteen Tau warriors were killed directly, and seven became too injured to continue the mission, and subsequently died from blood loss and infection. The last surviving Tau Shas'ui “Silent Knife” managed to hit Anselm, vaporizing one of his arms. As Silent Knife walked returned from the mission, he stepped on a mine which Anselm had planted two months earlier. Surprisingly, both of these figures survived, as they were rescued and extracted by their respective forces. Silent Knife, for his glorious duel against a potent and damaging foe, was promoted to Shas'el, and was given a Crisis Suit for use in combat. Curiously, among the Tau, Silent Knife's mission was changed into a one-on-one duel, and Venables was changed from a lowly guardsman to a veteran Deathwatch Space Marine, even under the outcry of the Tau fire warriors who knew the true identity of Anselm Venables.

Meanwhile, Anselm Venables, surviving a close death, was considered by the Imperial Authority to have skills too valuable to waste, and was to retire from the Imperial Guard to become an instructor at the Schola Progenium. While this was a great honor for any individual guardsman to be bestowed upon, Venables dreaded the day of his retirement, as it meant that he would never be able to visit foreign worlds, forever “stuck in a glorified prison and indoctrination camp”.

During his recovery, in which he was given a prostate arm by the Adeptus Mechanicus, a rogue trader by the name of Elizabeth Cail took notice of his skills and his dissatisfactions of his “blessings”. As she planned on traveling to Tau territory for negotiations and trades, Cail thought that it would be useful to have a feared Imperial soldier to become her bodyguard, and, against the mech loving Tau, she found Venables to be a perfect fit. After some “discussions”, Anselm deserted on the day he was to be transported to the Schola in Cadia, and joined Cail’s crew.

With his new master, Anselm Venables travelled to the far reaches of Tau territory, demonstrating sheer intimidation value against Tau Battle suit operators whom he had taken many of their fellow brothers in arms. When Silent Knife, now a much talked about hero among his race, saw Anselm Venables smile smugly at him, he was publicly humiliated, stripped of his ranks, and promptly committed suicide in shame. By using Venables, along with other intimidating and respected Imperial soldiers and diplomats, Cail found it quite easy to sway the negotiations and trades to her favor, and brought back a large stockpile of Tau Weaponry, which she delivered to the Ordo Xenos and Adeptus Mechanicus for inspection. For his achievements in Cail’s journey, Venables had his names cleared from charges of desertion and cowardice. Free to do whatever he wished, Venables decided to stick with the Rogue Trader, knowing that with her, he would be able to quench his desires of visiting countless strange worlds, and encountering the even more intriguing Xenos Scums.

Even as he travels around the various fringes of the known galaxy with Cail and her accommodating crew, Anselm was known to have fondly talked about his desire to visit the Eye of Terror, even when he knew very well the perils that lie within But found his unquenchable desire for adventure still somehow stronger, and is fortunately restrained by his more pragmatic master from undertaking such suicidal journeys.

sounds like Marbo's twin brother...

I think he may be the less badass, less traumatized grenade launcher wielding counterpart of Marbo. After all, Anselm's stats ARE based on Marbo's and I modified it to be more "range-y",and have more explosions.But I do fear that he has become a Marty Sue though. Whenever I read Anselm's lore, he seems a little TOO perfect, and I think I need to make him a little bit more f-ed up. Maybe I SHOULD emphasize Venables using his fellow guardsmen as baits for his "hunts". But that's for another time I think.

That being said, I would love to see the interaction between Ciaphas Cain and Marbo, whose personalities are both so similar and different.

Hydra's Heads: All cultist units in the same detachment gain +1 WS and BS, replacing their improvised armor with flak armor for free. However, they may not select any Marks or gifts of mutation.

We are many: Whenever Phocron is removed from play, roll a dice. On a 2+, replace any character from the same detachment with Phocron. Phocron is then equipped with whatever wargear the replaced model was equipped with, replacing all wargear he originally had.

How many points do you estimate your character to be?

He just seems overtly OP to be only 180 points. Not that I know everything, but still.

So got my hands on some Tau and had some extra pulserifles left, and looked over to my IG (have like 1500 pts I never use) and the idea for a Gue'vesa vet squad was born!
Gue'vesa veteran squad
Ws:3 BS:4 S:3 T:3 W:1 I:3 A:1 Ld:7 Sv:5+ 7ppm
All options as vet squad but include:
Any Gue'vesa squad may take pulserifles or pulsecarbines for +1 ppm

Thought about using some squads for my FLGS, since the old rules were "outdated."
Also wanna do the entire army over as Gue'vesa thoughts?
Items excluded would be: Comissars (obvious) regimental standard (they don't have a regiment anymore) Penal Legion (no prisoners) no named characters (obvious)
Including: weapons teams can use 1 railgun (Broadside type) as well as sentinels (broadside type), Leman Russ's can use a hammerhead-type ion cannon, any infantry can exchange lasguns for Pulesweapons for +1 points, Baneblades (always wanted one ) can exchange its turret for a TL Hammerhead Railcannon, lascannons for railrifles (The S:6 AP:3 kind) HB for TL pulserifles, and the Demlisher cannon for an Ion Cannon, Chimeras can take a turret railgun (S6 AP3), any infantry may take a Devilfish dedicated transport

Darth Sidious

800 points

Type: Jump Infantry (character)

Composition: 1 (unique)

WS9 BS6 S5 T5 W5 I8 A6 Ld10 Sv5+

Wargear:

Sith Robes: Gives a 5+ armor save and the Shrouded USR

Sith Lightsabers: 2 close combat weapons. Has the Ignores armor, Fleshbane, Armorbane, Shred USRs.

Special Rules: Eternal Warrior, It Will Not Die, Feel No Pain, Adamantium Will, Fleet

Supreme Bladesman: Has a 3+ invulnerable save, increased to 2+ in combat.

Infinite Hatred: Hatred for every round of combat, rather than just the first.

Aura of Darkness: All enemy units within 6 inches suffer from -1 WS, BS and I. Causes Fear, and successful Fear tests must be rerolled.

Psyker Mastery Level 5: May re-roll all failed psychic tests, and is immune to Perils of the Warp. Knows the following powers:

Sith Lightning: Warp Charge 1. Witchfire. Range 24 S7 AP2 Assault 2D6 + 2 Blind Concussion Disable: Any models suffering an unsaved wound but not killed by this attack are unable to move in the next turn.

Force Push: Warp Charge 1. Focused Witchfire. Range 18 S6 AP- Assault 1 Slam: Target model may not move in the next turn. Shove: Target model is pushed in a random direction 2D3 inches.

Force pull: Warp Charge 1. Focused Witchfire. Range 18 S6 AP- Assault 1 Slam: Target model may not move in the next turn. Grab: Target model is pulled directly towards Sidious 2D3 inches.

Force Crush: Warp Charge 2. Focused Witchfire. Range 12 S10 AP1 Assault 1 Instant Death Fleshbane Crush: If target is a vehicle, it automatically explodes, and any passengers are automatically removed from play.

I thought WTF? then noticed the price tag.

That kinda works, although, Id say it should be 4+ inproved to 3+

Another ridiculously OTT fan character. Can people just not balance?

pretty sure he is balanced by being MORE EXPENSIVE THAN A PRIMARCH

Let Not Even Death Stop You
Before every mission, the Clair Twins have been known to give those under them a certain chem that has the mystical property of extending one’s will onto their bodies after their doom. Whenever a Infantry or Biker model is killed, it can still go through one more movement and shooting phase before it is finally pronounced dead with +1 value to BS and WS. If Instant death is applied, the chem is nullified. 

This trait can applied for 5pts for every squad.

Lore:
The Bikers of the Storm Initiate choose their recruits through their periodic raids, kidnapping the children of the parents they have murdered. The Clair twins were adopted under this rather typical circumstances along with countless number of other children, and ran through the harsh and bitter training necessary to prepare them for a lifetime of moral-depraved work. As the nature of the Storm Initiates do not care for anything but martial prowess, the Clair twins rose through the ranks of these bikers with vigor, their heavy stubbers always blazing.

Unfortunately, excessive talent brought unwanted attention and violence. Despite their undying loyalty to the boss, the twins’ charisma and their specially concocted chem created schisms among the raiders who were eager to either put the Clair twins as their leaders, or maintain status quo. The boss and the twins, still under friendly terms, came to an understanding that it would be best that the twins and their supporters were exiled. With this decision in mind, the Twins voluntarily inducted themselves to the Imperial Guard, never to come back to their home planet again. Only to face the horrors of war with their lightly armored bikes. Storm Initiate bikers’ experiences in hit and run tactics came into good use in their battles against the Ork War bands, which the Nihilum Guards specialize against.

The Clair Twins and their followers were last seen in the Damocles Gulf Crusade and were most certainly wiped out by the Tau; as skillful as a rider the Storm Initiates were, their bikes were unsuitable against the unflinchingly accurate sniper drones and pulse rifles. That being said, the bodies of the Clair Twins have never been found, and they have currently been proclaimed as MIA.

I know this post is for characters but would anyone mind if I posted the rules for a chaos superheavy I've been working on. Its an adapted stormlord but with some changes to make it much more chaosy and fit better with my custom warband

Let Not Even Death Stop You is wayyyy OTT, especially for +5 pts a squad. It makes them BETTER after you kill them and they don't die right away! that being said, maybe at +5 points per model OR 50 points a squad (come on, zombie guard that shoot better and hit harder? worth it!) or make it a 0-1 choice

The forearm mounted storm shield aka a combat shield? storm shields are too big and bulky to be arm mounted due to their enhanced generator. Maybe just give him a backpack-mounted enhanced refractor field (3++)?

Thinking of a SM duelist. sort of like a champion but capable of taking on the stronger ICs

Basically, yes but I also wanted a mobile gun platform. MY chaos warband is very assault oriented and I wanted something to provide covering fire as well as transport and have a lot of different weapons and configurations

A character I came up with for my Tau army ...

Shas'o Hue'lam received his first command during the Medusa V campaign. Tasked with defending a series of outposts in the mountains of the Charybdis Crest, Hue'lam's forces surprisingly did not encounter too many Orks. Instead, Hue'lam's forces had their baptism of fire against the Necrons encroaching on the mountains and various patrols of Space Marines. At the end of the campaign, Hue'lam received the Silver Knife for his services.

Points: 175

Shas'o Hue'lam

WS-BS-S-T-W-I-A-Ld-Sv
4-5-5-4-3-3-10-3+

Equipment: XV8 Crisis Suit with Plasma Rifle, Fusion Blaster, Multi-tracker, Hard-wired Black Sun Filter, Hard-wired Drone Controller with 2 Shield Drones

Shas'o Hue'lam may purchase additional equipment from the Tau Armoury

Special Rules:

Veterans of Medusa V - Any Firewarrior team in an army led by Shas'O Hue'lam may receive +1 BS and +1 Ld for +3 points per model. Any XV8, XV88, or Stealth Suit units may receive this upgrade for +12 points per model.

Memories of War - Any army that includes Shas'o Hue'lam counts any Space Marine allies as "Allies of Convenience" instead of "Battle Brothers." Additionally, the entire army counts as having the "Hatred Necrons" and "Preferred Enemy: Necrons" universal special rule.

The Silver Knife - Tau armies led by Shas'o Hue'lam are inspired by the presence of this hero of the Fourth Sphere Expansion. Any friendly Tau units with at least one model within 12 inches of Shas'o Hue'lam may use his leadership value for any leadership or moral tests.

Special Characters shouldn't generally have Armoury access. If they have options, it's generally 1-2 specific things

Special Rules:

The Firewarriors is probably fine, but the suits should probably be 13-14pts.

Memories of War - Any army that includes Shas'o Hue'lam counts any Space Marine allies as "Allies of Convenience" instead of "Battle Brothers." Additionally, the entire army counts as having the "Hatred Necrons" and "Preferred Enemy: Necrons" universal special rule.

Seems like an alright character - shouldn't have Armour Access... should probably make the stat bonus +1-2 pts, but he only needs to be 150pts really.

At the end of the campaign, Hue'lam received the Silver Knife for his services.

Points: 175

Shas'o Hue'lam

WS-BS-S-T-W-I-A-Ld-Sv
4-5-5-4-3-3-10-3+

Equipment: XV8 Crisis Suit with Plasma Rifle, Fusion Blaster, Multi-tracker, Hard-wired Black Sun Filter, Hard-wired Drone Controller with 2 Shield Drones

Shas'o Hue'lam may purchase additional equipment from the Tau Armoury
Special Characters shouldn't generally have Armoury access. If they have options, it's generally 1-2 specific things

Special Rules:

Veterans of Medusa V - Any Firewarrior team in an army led by Shas'O Hue'lam may receive +1 BS and +1 Ld for +3 points per model. Any XV8, XV88, or Stealth Suit units may receive this upgrade for +12 points per model.
The Firewarriors is probably fine, but the suits should probably be 13-14pts.

Memories of War - Any army that includes Shas'o Hue'lam counts any Space Marine allies as "Allies of Convenience" instead of "Battle Brothers." Additionally, the entire army counts as having the "Hatred Necrons" and "Preferred Enemy: Necrons" universal special rule.

The Silver Knife - Tau armies led by Shas'o Hue'lam are inspired by the presence of this hero of the Fourth Sphere Expansion. Any friendly Tau units with at least one model within 12 inches of Shas'o Hue'lam may use his leadership value for any leadership or moral tests.

Seems like an alright character - shouldn't have Armour Access... should probably make the stat bonus +1-2 pts, but he only needs to be 150pts really.

I generally agree. However id like to point out that at +12 points its already adding more than 1/3 of the cost

Yeah, and without the Targetting Array, I'd have said it'd be +5pts per for +1BS and +1Ld.
Unfortunately, Targetting arrays are there, which means you have to balance it across that. :(

My default for units is cost upgrades per 5 on basic infantry, per 3 on elite infantry, 1 for characters / single models.
+/-10pts base for most increases, +/-5pts for Ld.
Why did it post it twice! :(
And then it removes the second post.....

this is true, my apologies. I do the same

Darth Sidious

800 points

Type: Jump Infantry (character)

Composition: 1 (unique)

WS9 BS6 S5 T5 W5 I8 A6 Ld10 Sv5+ - I would actually change this to be S2 and T2 The emperor/ Darth Sidious is physically weak and old, but the power of the force sustains him. Given the amount of defenses this guy has, with Shrouded and a 2+ invuln in CC, he will always be taking a save no matter what weapon hits him (unless JotWW or something). The five wounds allows him to take repeated hits that would otherwise kill him outright, and FnP combined with IWND makes it clear this guy needs to be killed in a single turn or he won't go down at all.

Wargear:

Sith Robes: Gives a 5+ armor save and the Shrouded USR - I would actually change the robes to simply give him Shrouded. The 5+ save will never be used since every heavy weapon the opponent has will be on this guy,

Sith Lightsabers: 2 close combat weapons. Has the Ignores armor, Fleshbane, Armorbane, Shred USRs. - I would simply make stats for a single weapon, since he only used one lightsaber. Basically:
Red Lightsaber R:- S:User AP:2 Type: Melee, Fleshbane, Armorbane, Shred


Special Rules: Eternal Warrior, It Will Not Die, Feel No Pain, Adamantium Will, Fleet

Supreme Bladesman: Has a 3+ invulnerable save, increased to 2+ in combat.

Infinite Hatred: Hatred for every round of combat, rather than just the first.

Aura of Darkness: All enemy units within 6 inches suffer from -1 WS, BS and I. Causes Fear, and successful Fear tests must be rerolled.

Psyker Mastery Level 5: May re-roll all failed psychic tests, and is immune to Perils of the Warp. Knows the following powers:

Sith Lightning: Warp Charge 1. Witchfire. Range 24 S7 AP2 Assault 2D6 + 2 Blind Concussion Disable: Any models suffering an unsaved wound but not killed by this attack are unable to move in the next turn.

Force Push: Warp Charge 1. Focused Witchfire. Range 18 S6 AP- Assault 1 Slam: Target model may not move in the next turn. Shove: Target model is pushed in a random direction 2D3 inches.

Force pull: Warp Charge 1. Focused Witchfire. Range 18 S6 AP- Assault 1 Slam: Target model may not move in the next turn. Grab: Target model is pulled directly towards Sidious 2D3 inches.

Force Crush: Warp Charge 2. Focused Witchfire. Range 12 S10 AP1 Assault 1 Instant Death Fleshbane Crush: If target is a vehicle, it automatically explodes, and any passengers are automatically removed from play.

On the whole I think this guy is... interesting. As-is I think he should be 900 points, but with my changes I might keep him at 800 or 850, regardless of how much primarchs cost.

The Vessel of Fury/Excess/Decay/Change......................... 200 points or so.

As the Chaos gods are the manifestations of the emotions of an entire galaxy, so is the Vessel of Fury the manifestation of the collective chaos of the battlefield. At first, it is little more than a resonant wind of energy, but if left unmolested on the battlefield, it rapidly grows into an nigh-unstoppable horror as it focuses the tainted magic and unrepentant slaughter of the enemy into itself, taking on the purest form of whatever magic is causing the most chaos.

WS:2 BS:2 S:2 T:1 W:2 I:1 A:1 Ld:10 Sv: -
----------------------------------------------------------
Unit Type: Infantry (Unique)
Wargear: Ethereal hands
Special Rules: Varies

The powers of the Vessel change according to whichever god's presence is most felt on the field, changing its essence to become a channel for the most influential god in the battle:
[Vessel of Fury]: If the majority of the models in your army follow Khorne (i.e. Bloodletters, Juggernaughts, Bloodcrushers, etc make up more than 50% of the models in your army), the Vessels Unit Type Changes to Flying Monstrous Creature. Keep track of the number of unsaved wounds dealt to both sides. For every 5 unsaved wounds that either side deals, increase all of the Vessels stats by 1 (with the exception of Leadership), including the save (since the save is currently -, the first 5 wounds would increase the save to 6+, then the next to 5+, and so on). The Vessel also becomes a Daemon of Khorne. All models, both friendly and enemy, within 8" of the Vessel of Fury gain the Rampage special rule.

{Vessel of Excess}: If the majority of the models in your army follow Slaanesh (i.e Fiends of Slaanesh, Seekers, Daemonettes, etc), then the Vessel's Unit Type changes to Beast. For each enemy squad that has come under the effects of any special abilities of any Slaanesh model (i.e. Soporific Musk or Disruptive Song on a Fiend), increase the all of the stats by by 1, with the exceptions of Weapon Skill, attacks, and Initiative, which increase by 2. The Vessel of Excess is a Daemon of Slaanesh with Mastery Level 2 and knows all of the powers from the Excess table. If a squad that came under the effects of any of Slaanesh's gifts is wiped out entirely, the Vessels stats remain and are not reduced.

(Vessel of Decay): If 50% or more of the models in your army follow Nurgle, then keep track of how many units have taken unsaved wounds from any of those units. For each enemy squad that has at least three models that have taken a wound from any of Nurgle's gifts, increase the Vessel of Decay's stats by 1. For the first enemy squad that takes at least 3 usaved wounds from any of Nurgle's minions, increase the Vessel's Toughness by 2. Once per game, at the beginning of the shooting phase, the Vessel of Decay may create a rainstorm of the most foul and toxic rain imaginable, as if Nurgle himself was pouring out the contents of his cauldron over the battlefield. All enemy units take one S2 AP3 hit for each member of their unit. After activating this power, all Nurgle daemons gain +1 Toughness and any poisoned (4+) weapons become poisoned (3+) until the end of the next player turn. The Vessel of Decay is a Daemon of Nurgle, Mastery Level 3, and knows all of the powers from the Plague table.

Vessel of Change: If the majority of the models in your army follow Tzeentch, then add +1 to all of the Vessel of Change's stats (except for Ballistic Skill, which is increased by 2) for every game turn that has passed, meaning that once game turn 1 has concluded, the Vessel gain +1 to all stats (except Leadership, of course), and so on. The Vessel of Tzeentch is a Daemon of Tzeentch, Mastery Level 4, and knows all of the powers from the Change table. Once per game turn at the beginning of the movement phase, and only after game turn 1 has concluded, the Vessel may choose D3 friendly units or D3 pieces of terrain. If D3 units have been selected, the owning player may move them up to 6" in any direction. This does not count as moving for the purposes of firing weapons and the units may move again after this move has been completed. Alternatively, if D3 pieces of terrain are selected instead, roll the scatter die and a single d6 for each piece of terrain. Each piece of terrain then scatters the direction the scatter die indicates and the distance the D6" indicates.

I actualy use my characters on the table but with official stats. If i go making up stats everything will become 10 and his armour save will always pass so i dont get myself started

Anyways, here the fluffy bit I wrote this about a year ago.. Its a short story of his rise to powah! Since then he has been freebooting and starting waaaghs all over the place Also attached a photograph of the model i build of him. Working on a bikey version atm

Waaagh! Uhrmak Mearta Kroonik.

As a Boy, Uhrmak Mearta Kroonik fought against the most brutal enemies under the Bannah of Warboss Face Basha Mc Killy.
From the Emperor’s space Marines to the ferocious Tyranids. He survived all these brutal enemies until one day, he got Slashed in the face by a power sword, losing half his face, got run over by a Lemann Russ tank, got stomped in to the ground by all his fellow Boyz charging forward, and finally his body got Zapped by his allied Weirdboy.

After the victory over the Imperium his Orkish body regenerated enough untill he was able to stand up again.
He somehow found his way back to his camp. Upon arriving there all the Boyz stared at him awkwardly. His face, still mostly gone was radiating blue energy. A massive shadow fell over him, it was his Warboss. ‘Oi iz you one o ‘them Weirdboyz now?’
‘Nah Boss’, Uhrmak said. ‘It iz still me, Uhrmak Boss’. ‘Okay then’. ‘OI DOK! Get Over ‘ere! Got you anuvva one!. And so the Mad Dok started experimenting on Uhrmak.
After a couple of days he managed to ‘fix’ Uhrmaks ‘ead. His face was patched up with the Skin from one of his fellow Boyz’s face and Metal. His Teeth were all replaced with iron teeth.
And finally he was given a Metal horned helmet.

Okay, the Mad Dok said. Now I iz gunna activate tha new Killy eye ye got. Uhrmak grunted in approval. ‘klik’ Urhmak heard when the Dok activated the Killy Eye. Hmm?, Uhrmak said, the Killy Eye aint,…. AAAAAAAARGH! The air radiated with crackling blue energy. Uhrmak grabbed the Mad Dok by his face and said, OI! Iz you trying to kill Uhrmak?
Nonono, the Mad Dok squeeled as he saw Uhrmak grow before his eyes. The Dok’s head exploded into bits and pieces.

Uhrmak, now the full size of a battle hardened Nob. Grabbed the nearest Shoota and Choppa and walked up to the nearest group of Boyz and unleashed his fury upon them.
Other Boyz and Nobz, hearing and seeing this quickly rushed toward the fight and joined in. The fight lasted almost half a day until Warboss Face Basha Mc Killy heard of the fighting.
When he laid his eyes upon the carnage he saw a blood stained Nob standing upon a huge pile of dead Boyz and Nobs. When he got closer he noticed that the Nob was almost as big as he was himself.

Uhrmak, seeing the Warboss getting closer charged him in his bezerking state. What followed was a most brutal fight that scared the other Boyz into hiding and made the Nobz start shaking.
With his first stike Uhrmak cut down Face Basha’s banner and left arm. However, Uhrmak quickly received a monstrous blow to his head.
At that moment it was like time itself was standing still for Uhrmak. He quickly overtook Face Basha and cracked open his skull.
For a moment he just stood there, watching his former boss laying on the ground. Then he Unleashed a deafening cry, WAAAAAAAAAAGH!
I iz the new boss now! Urhmak yelled at the Orks all around him.

Alternatively, if D3 pieces of terrain are selected instead, roll the scatter die and a single d6 for each piece of terrain. Each piece of terrain then scatters the direction the scatter die indicates and the distance the D6" indicates.

Interesting... Very interesting... Woul you like me to play test this?

Sure! Though I'm not sure why you're quoting Calas.

Neither do I. Ah well. Just a question though: what do Ethereal Hands do? Are they CC weapons? If so, why bother with BS?

Those were just CCWs, BS is for the other witchfire powers and the like.

pretty sure he is balanced by being MORE EXPENSIVE THAN A PRIMARCH

Way I see it, if your way of balancing a character is to make him pricier, your doing it wrong. If one model makes up like half or a third of your points spent, its no longer a battle between armies starring your character, but rather the Story of your Speshul Snowflake, starring (your army here)

Unique characters and units should be much, much less important than that.

Here's my own submission;

Drakka Goldteef

Fluff; TBA, think Warboss + Glukkons from the Oddworld series. Similar to that Bad Moonz special character in that he loves riches as much as he does fighting.

Cost: 180 points*

WS: 5, BS: 2, S: 5, T: 5, W: 3, I: 4, A: 4, Ld: 9, Sv: 2+ (5++)

Equipment: Mega Armour, Bosspole, Cybork (5++), Power Klaw, Stikkbombs,Gol'dakka (custom Snazzgun - replaces twin-linked Shoota), 3 Treasure Runts

Custom Rulez and Equipment

Custom Weapon - Gol'dakka

Goldakka is a Snazzgun upgraded with the capability to fire Goldtoof ammo. It is treated in all other regards as a Snazzgun with the Shootier and More Dakka upgrades.

Range: 24", STR: 6, AP: D6 (roll each turn you fire), Type: Assault 2, Special: Goldtoof Ammo

Goldtoof Ammo

You may choose to fire standard ammunition or goldtoof ammo for the Gol'dakka. To fire Goldtoof ammo, you must have at least one Treasure Runt that is still attached to Drakka Goldteef. The treasure runt is 'used up' by the attack.

Goldtoof ammo does not affect the strength of the attack, though it does allow you to re-roll failed hits as though an Ammo Runt had been used. If the target is hit, even if no wounds are inflicted (but not if an attack against a vehicle fails to glance or penetrate) place a bounty marker next to the squad for each successful hit. The target is now embedded with precious gold teef, and if engaged with any Ork unit, those Orks will fight much harder than usual to try and take those teef for themselves, so look on the bounty table to see what effects are endowed.

Bring me dere 'eads!

During his shooting phase, Drakka Goldteef and any unit he is attached to may forgo all shooting in order to place a bounty on any enermy unit to which he has line of sight. To do this, he must possess and 'use up' one treasure runt. The target of this ability automatically recieves D2+1 bounty markers.

Da powah of riches

Drakka Goldteef understands the concepts of the carrot and the stick, and uses his bountiful treasure stash to encourage his boyz in a fight. Through firing the Gol'dakka or use of the Bring me dere 'eads ability, Drakka can place Bounty markers on enermy units. Once attached to a unit, bounty markers confer various bonuses on any Orks that assault them, representing the added incentive that riches have for da ladz.

1+ Bounty Marker: Any mob that has at least one model in base to base contact with the unit recieves +1 leadership for each Bounty Marker on the target unit. If their Leadership would rise above 10, it becomes ten and the unit becomes fearless. Mobs that are already fearless, such as those affected by Mob Rule, recieve feel no pain (6+) or improve their current FNP by one level (no matter how many Bounty Markers are on the target, only apply the feel no pain bonus once)

2+ Bounty Markers: In addition to the above, your models recieve +1 INT on the turn they charge into combat with the unit in question, as long as they are in base to base contact with a model from the affected unit.

3+ Bounty Markers: In addition to the above effects, any Ork models in base to base contact with the unit with the bounty markers get a single free attack, resolved at their bolstered INT level if applicable, against the unit with the bounty markers. You do not need to go to the trouble of allocating those bonus attacks specifically against the models in base to base contact with your own - simply resolve the attacks against the entire unit as usual.

Grab da loot an' leggit!

Ork Mobs that destroy a unit with Bounty markers, but which do not have at least one model within 6" of Drakka Goldteef or his attached retinue, must pass a leadership test at the start of each turn. Mob rule does not apply, but all other effects such as below half strength apply as normal, and they recieve a -1 reduction to Ld for each bounty marker on the model they destroyed.

If they fail, they have decided to flee the field with their newfound loot and are immediately removed from the table! Models that flee in this regard typically do not count as casualties from the perspective of the enermy (ie for Kill Points) but do count as casualties for yourself (if say, you lose VP for each destroyed unit).

Oi! Dems our riches now!

Even if the Mob succeeds it's Grab da loot an' leggit! roll, they still continue to carry the loot - so place the bounty tokens next to the Mob that wiped out the enermy unit. At the start of each turn, for each Ork Mob holding bounty tokens that is not within 6" of Drakka Goldteef or his attached mob, is vulnerable to being mugged for their newfound riches by other mobz! All Ork Mobz that are not tied up in assault, are within 6" of this Mob, but not within 6" of Drakka Goldteef or his retinue, must make a leadership test.

Again, do not apply Mob Rule, and deduct 1 Ld for each bounty marker on the mob holding da loot.

In addition, if the Mob in question is larger than the one with the loot (count multi-wound models like Nobz as one model per wound) deduct 1 Ld for each model of difference in unit sizes, and if smaller, add 1 Ld instead (if Ld is increased to 10 or higher, you automatically pass the Ld check). If they fail the leadership test, then in this movement, shooting, and assault phase they must target the unit with da loot, adding the bonuses from the above chart as per usual. If they succeed in wiping out the unit, the loot is transferred to this new mob, which must make a Grab da loot an' leggit! check and can become subject to the predations of other Ork Mobz

Note that the boyz holding the loot get absolutely no bonus from the above chart, and that while multiple mobz may fail their tests, only one (the one with the most models) will attempt to seize the loot - the rest have been scared off by da big boyz and get back to fighting as usual.

Ridin' in style

Drakka Goldteef must be attached to a unit of Nobz, Meganobz, or Flash Gitz, and cannot leave this unit unless it is destroyed, at which point he can attach to any other unit as per usual. In addition, Drakka Goldteef must take a Battlewagon as a dedicated transport for himself and the mob he is attached to - in the case of Nobz and MegaNobz, this replaces their own dedicated transport - and he and his unit must be deployed in the wagon. The Battlewagon cannot have a killkanon, but may have any other upgrades you wish.

*Cost Breakdown: Warboss (60), Mega Armour (40), Bosspole (5), Cybork (10), +3 Ammo Runts (their effects are incorporated into that of treasure runts) (9), Upgraded TL shoota to Snazzgun with Shootier and More Dakka upgrades (+15 for Snazzgun, +10 for upgrades), +3 Treasure Runts (41)

In the Badab war part 2 there are rules for the Chapter Champion of the Salamanders, Pellas Mir'san

Gorge Washingtork
Gorge Washingtork was an average boy of the Washingtork of the planet 'Merica, until his Nob krumped him good for chopping down his fungus tree. Since that day Gorge had been bullied by all manner of Nobz, Bosses, Meks, and even the Doks who patch him up out of sympathy. That all changed the day Gorge found "da' hat". Apparently, it was just a normal hat until the power of Da' Waaaghh surged through it instantly imbuing Gorge with God-like power. Gorge became able to shrug off even insane amounts of harm to himself at the cost of his sanity. Now, twice the size of many other warbosses, rivaling that of Gorgutz and Thraka, Gorge uses his experience of getting throttled and his new found "Hat" to win the day for many an ork of 'Merica.



WS:6

S:5
T:5

SV:2+

Wargear:
Mega Armor, Cybork Body, Combi-rokkit, boss pole, stikkbombs

Slam Adams: its not so uncommon to see grots being exploited by orks, but it is very uncommon to see one treated to some degree with respect. This came with a high price however, as Slam got rediculously plastered off his own brew and somehow permanently attached to Gorge's cybork parts when he mistakenly got sat on. Due to their mutual respect, Slam doesnt mind to help calling shots for Gorge so long as Gorge does everything he can to keep from sitting down...

Slam confers a +1 to Gorge's ballistic skill (already included in his profile)

Da' Hat: Da' hat allows Gorge to confer his brilliant mind full of tactics to any one he considers mission essential (or exendable hur,hur). Gorge can confer "scout" to D3 infantry units. Da' hat also confers the special rule "Too hard to stomp, too rare to die".

Special rules:

Too hard to stomp, too rare to die: Gorge has eternal warrior. Furthermore he is considered a level 1 psyker with the Psychic Power "Waz dat supposed ta' urt?"

Waz dat supposed ta' 'urt?: Casted on Self (buff power) on a successful psychic test, Gorge gains +1 toughness. Gorge also regains 1 wound everytime he casts this power (to his maximum wounds of course)


inspiration comes from my own red skinned ork army from the planet 'Murica. Also, legends surrounding George Washington as supposedly unkillable during the revolutionary war.

OK, DE character, love DE, good times - Pricing!
Total: 200.

The reason I say Free Venom Blades is +35, is they're an amazing upgrade, and you can have up to 33 in a list with her, which is 155pts.
Though realistically, you're going to have 9-10+ (especially with this character - because why wouldn't you!), which is 45-50pts, so you're still going to be able to get a bonus overall.
The Poison to 2+ upgrade is an iffy one, because you put her in a squad of 20 Warriors with 2 Cannons and that's 26-48 2+ poison shots, or in a squad with Wracks and that's 20-30 2+ poison attacks, as well as making her Splinter Pistol Poison 2+ (which is a 5pt upgrade in itself) so 30 is probably accurate.

Some background and fleshing out would be nice too, and if it gets good enough, I'll include it in my Extended Codex and make a model of her!

Ask and ye shall receive!
High Archon Lirieth Venijn, Lady of Malice, Slayer of Innocence, Mistress of the Venomspire: Venijn is the leader of the Kabal of Venomous Thorns. The Venomous Thorns were a minor noble house when Vect usurped power in the Dark City. Their relative obscurity meant that they survived the Salamanders attack mostly intact. Recently, they have risen to be one of the powers on the Corespur, following the destruction caused by the latest Dysjunction. Venijn is the last of a long line of Eldar nobility who worshipped Shaimesh above others; as such she and her Kabal specialise in the art of poison. Her body is saturated with hundreds of the most lethal toxins in the galaxy; her last would-be assassin found this out the hard way after slashing her throat with a power blade. The jet of blood that spurted out turned his face into a fine red mist within seconds, even as it sealed the wound that would have been fatal to any other. Venijn goes to war wearing nothing but ceremonial robes, trusting to her blinding speed and venomous aura for protection; it is said she exudes poisonous mists from her pores that corrode solid rounds and enemy weapons before they can harm her.
The colors of the Venomous Thorns are alternated black and yellow stripes. The emblem of the Kabal is a poison-green rose with thorns on black with yellow borders. Lady Venijn's personal heraldry is the single rune of Shaimesh, in yellow on a black field.

wargear:

-Mark of Khorne

Special rules:
-Champion of chaos

-fear**
-Independant character
-veterans of the long war
-Master of darkness: move an extra d3 during night fighting
-Dread of the night: on a roll of +3 at the start of the game, night fighting takes affect.

The night. Some believe murder by night is cowardice, or folly, the Black hand embrace this method. They rival the forces and bravado of the night lords, but they do not lack in strength. Consisting of under 500 traitors, they are slowly growing and causing havoc and striking fear into the denizens under the imperial banner. those who do remember the raids by night, remember very little, for their are no survivors when the Black Hand Goes to battle.

few know of the existence of the black hand, save the inquistion and the dwellers of the warp. The warband predominantly consists of troops called Marked. Fire blazing Chaos marines burning their path to desolation of the galaxy. The Marked are among the lowest of the warriors of the Black Hand. Higher up the chain lay the shredders, Chosen dedicated to giving their being to khorne, they embrace combat like a part of them, and the best way to achieve favor from khorne is to live in combat. They use Lightning claws as their instruments of killing (which is actually quite expensive on chosen ).

The symbol of the black hand is not worn on any one marked, they are not worthy to bear the banner of war. The sign is a curse to anyone who sees it. for if they set their eyes on the thing, they will surely not live to see the light of the next day.

Heh I see some resemblance to the Black Hand of Nod from Command and Conquer Tiberium wars here. That the inspiration to this force?

Chaos Dragon- The dark gods have warped their greatest followers into a form not seen since ancient times. With scales as strong as adamantium, and breathing fire as hot as a forge; these daemons crush all in their path in a bathe of aetherial flames.

Automatically Appended Next Post:
I wouldn't mind seeing one for cypher, in 6th edition, for both pre- and post-heresy.

they have official rules from 3rd ed. but I agree he needs some major buffering. As for the dragon it sounds like a hellchicken with an armor save whos psychic. I can dig it.

I have two of them, actually. First one:

Asmodius, the Bringer of Death 240 pts

WS: 5 BS: 4 S: 4 T: 4 W: 3 A: 3 I: 5 Ld: 10 Sv: 2+

Special Rules: Independent Character, Combat Tactics, And They Shall Know No Fear, Veteran of the Deathwatch, Psyker (Mastery Level 2)

Wargear: Assault Grenades, Krak Grenades, Artificer armor, Force Sword, Storm Shield, Death's Door

Veteran of the Deathwatch: Asmodius served for some time with the Deathwatch, and while he is sworn to secrecy regarding his actions, he has become noticeably better at combating xenos. Therefore, Asmodius has Preferred Enemy (Xenos). In addition, he came back to his chapter much more resilient than when he left, which is reflected in his additional wound.

Death's Door: Death’s Door functions as a normal Epistolary with the exception that, once per game, Asmodius may tap into the knowledge contained within this holy tome, and push his powers to their fullest extent. During this time, Asmodius is considered to be a Mastery Level 3 psyker, and his strength and toughness increase by 1.

And the second one...

Captain Stacia, Master of the Vanguard 190 pts

WS: 6 BS: 5 S: 4 T: 4 W: 3 I: 5/1 A: 3(4) Ld: 10 Sv: 2+

Wargear: Assault Grenades, Krak Grenades, Iron Halo, two Power Fists, Artificer Armor

Wargear Options: May be given a Jump Pack for 25 points

Special Rules: Independent Character, Combat Tactics, And They Shall Know No Fear, Master of the Vanguard, Heroic Intervention

Master of the Vanguard: Captain Stacia is one of the few Star Phantoms in a position of command that came out his chapter’s Vanguard Veterans; this is rare, owing to the chapter’s favoritism towards unrelenting firepower. However, Stacia is one of the few Veterans that remained after Badab that showed the capability necessary to become a captain. Despite being given a company of his own, Stacia occasionally prefers the companionship of his Vanguard brothers. Thus, in an army that includes Captain Stacia, all Vanguard Veteran units are treated as scoring.

In addition, owing to his many years of experience with the Vanguard, he occasionally joins them on their nearly suicidal missions behind enemy lines. If given a jump pack, Captain Stacia may choose to join a unit of Vanguard Veterans before deployment. If this option is chosen, the Vanguard may still attempt to perform a Heroic Intervention, as Stacia has the same rule. If Stacia is a member of a Vanguard Veteran unit, they may re-roll the scatter dice if they so choose.

WS: 6
BS: 1

Wargear
Master crafted Chainsword
No ranged weapons. Can add a las pistol for +5 points.

Armor
Carapace Armor for Stiegius
Flak Armor for Death Wisher Bodyguards

Lore:
After the Orks had finally been vanquished, the elite Death Wishers was left without purpose; there was no more great foe to kill, and there were no settlements that were willing to pay the high fee required to be under the protection of the Death Wishers. This had eventually strayed the Death Wishers’ original purpose as righteous defenders of the needy and the weak, and turned them into another petty group of raiders. This unfortunate circumstance prolonged throughout the 39th and 40th millennium until Nihilum finally came into contact with the Imperium of Mankind.

Stiegius found this to be the perfect opportunity to regain the fabled and much beloved former reputations of the Death Wishers, so he voluntarily (and quite enthusiastically) brought all of his Death Wishers into a quest for glory and redemption. Because of his ambitions, Stiegius has maintained an absolutely spotless discipline and fanaticism for the God-Emperor among his elite soldiers- a characteristics that has allowed his soldiers to avoid too much animosity amongst Sisters of Battle and the Witch Hunters.

The Death Wishers survived the Damocles Crusades with flying colors, and, with the ambitious Stiegius still leading them to glory, are fighting bitter wars against the Tyrannids, standing their ground even as they are often overrun. While this had brought severe casualties amongst the Death Wishers, many Imperial Guard regiments respect such selfless actions and have held the grandmaster of the Death Wishers as a hero and Imperial citizen; a reputation very few individuals of the Nihilum Guard have come to hold.

Klaivex Xeria, Shrine of the Venomous Sting

Klaivex Xeria was once Hellebron Venijn, twin sister to the current Archon of the Venomous Thorns. Losing the leadership struggle for the Kabal against her twin, she fled to the Shrine of the Venomous Sting, where against all odds she became one of the Incubi. After distinguishing herself during a raid on Craftworld Iyanden, she became the first female Klaivex in nearly a thousand years. Her relatively slighter form leaves her physically weaker than other Incubi, although she has the edge in speed and agility. Xeria is currently chief Executioner to her sister, who trusts her as much as any Dark Eldar can truly trust another, even one of the Shrines. Whether her chosen profession has curbed her ambition to lead the Kabal, only time will tell.

Composition: 1 (unique): Xeria can be bought as an upgrade character for a single squad of incubi, instead of a Klaivex

Type: Infantry (character)

Points: 175

W7 BS5 S3 T3 W3 I7 A4 Ld10 Sv3+

Wargear: Incubus warsuit, bloodstone

Disemboweller-klaives: Xeria's slighter form caused her to forge a pair of demi-klaives in a different form to other Incubi. These are a pair of close combat weapons. They strike at AP2, give +D3 attacks per turn, and may re-roll all failed to hit and failed to wound rolls.

Baelregor, the Hatefather.....................................2000 points
Baelregor has only been summoned once, during the early days of the Dark Age of Technology. He slaughtered his way through two segmentums before being stopped by Dark Age humans and Eldar, but by then it was almost too late, as thousands of worlds had fallen. Those who know of his existence think that if he ever made his way back into the mortal realm, he would do more damage than the every Black Crusade combined. He is the most favored of Khorne, and many think he may be Khorne itself made manifest, for no Bloodthirster in the history of the galaxy has ever shown to have such power.

Angron? An'ggrath? They are nothing compared to Baelregor! It took one hundred Grey Knights to bring down Angron, and it would take ten thousand to bring such an end to Baelregor!

This sounds like an amazing modeling opportunity. As far as stats, he's pretty reasonable at 2000 points imho, I'm guessing apocalypse only but maybe give him a special rule allowing him to be an entire force org. chart (counts as 1 HQ and 2 troops) just so you can play him in 2k games for S&G's. Personally he's a little overcosted when compared to similar 2k units (rending pony comes to mind). honestly, he needs EW. 1 libby with a forcewepon, or an entire 10-man pally squad with IC makes a lucky wound and hes dead on a roll of 10 or less. Id seriously say drop him to around 1500. A pair of warhounds/a warlord would cost less and kill him before he can do jack against them. Rending pony wouldn't even losw a wound against him, even in CC. they strike at the same Int., but rending pony gets a min of 11 rending hits. You'll fail about 2 of those, deal around 3 wounds and he'll save em all. It'll take a while, but hes def not worth as much as Rending Pony so like I said, id suggest dropping him to around 1500, maybe even 1250

Gargantuan Creatures are immune to Instant Death, and only take D3 wounds against Force weapons and the like. I'm actually going to change his Armor slightly, though it might make him more powerful. We'll see. Strength D hits auto-wound and inflict instant death if they aren't saved.

heh sorry haven't played in a couple months my apologies. Anywho, like I said its an amazingly resilient unit but for 2k there are so many other things you can take (4 baneblade variants, a pair of warhounds and a shadowsword, 13 leman russ tanks) so to me it seems a wee bit pricy, but that's just my $0.02
As for ID rending pony is EW and has a 2++ rerollable save.

It's all good, I'm still just learning Apocalypse myself I think that the Rending Pony isn't really supposed to be a serious character, since it's designed to be an entire army and has a 2++ re-rollable save. Baelregor is supposed to be a CC beast, and I think that part at least is accomplished.

I know he's a joke character but hes the closest unit stat/cost wise I can come up with so for 2k points they should be close enough survivability wise. And I agree, he gets in range with his Hellstorm weapon he's bretty much gonna rip something to Pieces. Maybe make a rule for his CC weapon like a daemon weapon (not too sure on the new 'dex rules for them) or make it like "Thursting: for every successful kill roll 2d6 and add the killed models wounds. For every roll of 13+ Baelregor regains a wound" to show his axe feeding him strength for the souls it consumes? Fluffy because daemon weapons often drink the blood and feast on the souls of those they kill.

Baelregor, the Hatefather.....................................2000 points
Baelregor has only been summoned once, during the early days of the Dark Age of Technology. He slaughtered his way through two segmentums before being stopped by Dark Age humans and Eldar, but by then it was almost too late, as thousands of worlds had fallen. Those who know of his existence think that if he ever made his way back into the mortal realm, he would do more damage than the every Black Crusade combined. He is the most favored of Khorne, and many think he may be Khorne itself made manifest, for no Bloodthirster in the history of the galaxy has ever shown to have such power.

Angron? An'ggrath? They are nothing compared to Baelregor! It took one hundred Grey Knights to bring down Angron, and it would take ten thousand to bring such an end to Baelregor!

If the armor is penetrated, do not roll on any chart; Baelregor is simply wounded and may save the wound as normal.

I don't see the attraction of doing this. Are you ever going to use it? It's ridiculously OP I mean this thing would shred a bane lord whic it really shouldn't.

Its a 2k point model. For that price it should be able to destroy titans. I assume the model would be at least the size of a Knight Titan(?) and would represent some of the Named Greater Daemons, able to pick up rhinos and toss them across the battlefield. Imagine a named daemon summoned into a world swallowed by the warp, or supported by the sacrifice of a planet. It would be a powerful M-F'er.

Dude, I'm not going to use half of the characters I've created. Especially not a 2k point uber daemon. Also, after loording at the Banelord's stats, An'ggrath can faceroll it. It really isn't worth 2500 points, especially if a model like An'ggrath can kill it.

Edit: After thinking more, Skarbrand could kill it with relative ease. 6 S10 attacks at I1? Skarbrand has 8 S10 attacks on the charge at AP2 with Armorbane at I10. The Banelord is not a good opponent because it's so old.

Their heirophant, on the other hand, is.

It's not all about cc and I'm not saying you shouldn't do it just saying I can't personally see much fun in it and I'm seeing what your reasoning behind it was.

Just because gotta go for the gusto, I suppose! I just had an idea while sitting at starbucks, provoked by the picture of the giant BT in the new CD codex.

Fair enough

Although, I could totally re-do the Banelord

Banelord of Khorne.......................... 2500 points
The Banelord is a Warlord titan, corrupted during the Horus Heresy and subjected to the raw energy of the Warp. It bears unholy armaments befitting its status as a war machine: a massive Vulcan Mega Bolter that sticks straight out of its head, a warp-powered cannon that fires a beam of pure hatred that vaporizes all in its path, a monstrous version of the Havoc Launcher mounted of Chaos vehicles, a titanic fist that also contains built-in Ectoplasma cannons, and a tail longer than a Thunderhawk equipped with a battlecannon that fires shells larger than a Leman Russ. Few can stand against the might of the Banelord, and even fewer can bring it down.

**Both the Banelord Tail and Doomfist may be used as Titan Close Combat weapons. If used as such, they hit at Strength D.

Special Rules:
Possessed - The Banelord ignores Gun Crew Shaken and Drive Stunned results.
Protection of Khorne - The Banelord gain +3 to Deny the Witch rolls.
It Will Not Die
Vessel of Fury - The blessed machine is activated only by the most gruesome of slaughters, and once on the field, it projects an aura of pure hatred and rage matched only by Khorne itself. All models within 24" of the Banelord gain the Hatred(Everything) and Rage special rules.
Crazed - At the beginning of each turn, roll a D6 and on a roll of:
1- Fire Frenzy: The Banelord may not assault this turn, but instead fires all of its weapons normally once then again at random targets, chosen by a bystander.
2-5: Sane: The Banelord acts normally.
6- Blood Rage: The Banelord may move an additional 2D6" in the movement phase and must assault the nearest enemy unit as soon as possible.

Worth taking imho. Like a better Warlord, might actually get me into chaos... (prob not, all the DV models have been repurposed as scenery for my bases )

Klaivex Xeria, Shrine of the Venomous Sting

Klaivex Xeria was once Hellebron Venijn, twin sister to the current Archon of the Venomous Thorns. Losing the leadership struggle for the Kabal against her twin, she fled to the Shrine of the Venomous Sting, where against all odds she became one of the Incubi. After distinguishing herself during a raid on Craftworld Iyanden, she became the first female Klaivex in nearly a thousand years. Her relatively slighter form leaves her physically weaker than other Incubi, although she has the edge in speed and agility. Xeria is currently chief Executioner to her sister, who trusts her as much as any Dark Eldar can truly trust another, even one of the Shrines. Whether her chosen profession has curbed her ambition to lead the Kabal, only time will tell.

Composition: 1 (unique): Xeria can be bought as an upgrade character for a single squad of incubi, instead of a Klaivex

Type: Infantry (character)

Points: 100

WS6 BS5 S3 T3 W1 I7 A3 Ld9 Sv3+

Wargear: Incubus warsuit, bloodstone

Demi-klaives: Xeria's slighter form means she wields her demi-klaives in a different form to other Incubi. Her demi-klaives are always used as 2 AP2 close combat weapons that give a total of 3 extra attacks (1 for 2 close combat weapons, then 2 extra). She may re-roll any to-wound rolls of 1.

Special Rules: Fleet, Night Vision, Power from Pain, Onslaught

Female Incubi aren't unknown, or that incredibly uncommon. Hell, maybe a third of my Incubi models are female.
And to be honest, that a disgraced Archon, passed the trials is unsurprising at best.
She won't really be any less strong, as an Incubi is Str3 anyway, it's just the two-handed weapon that gives +1str.
I do kinda like the character though.
So costing as-is, then changes below! Making her a 75pt upgrade to a standard Incubi.

However!
I would make a few changes mind.
1: I'd give her +1WS, +2BS, +2W, +1A and +1Ld to bring her in line with an Archons statline.
2: I'd switch to a unique set of demiklaives that are lighter, and cannot be combined. Call them Razor Klaives or something, make them the straight +2A, but give re-rolls to hit and to wound. (And I would model it by bulking out Wych Razorflails.)
3: I'd go with a classic-codex upgrade, and give her a Tormenter Helm (splinter pistol controlled with her brain... oh how I miss those. xD).
