I made some custom IG special characters, I wanted to know if they were balanced and if the general idea is good...
Any feedback will be apreciated!

Each character detailed below may be chosen instead of the normal officers for an imperial guard command platoon, or the can be consolidated into a supreme strike platoon, which counts as an HQ choice. The base cost for the supreme strike platoon is 390pts. Up to 12 imperial guard veterans with carapace armor can be added in addition to the strike platoon at 10 points each. Each veteran may be armed with a las pistol and close combat weapon or shotgun at no additional cost. Up to two veterans may be armed with a flamer instead at an addition 6 points each or a plasma gun at an addition 10 points each.

Where's Nork?

off to the chimera for the medkit is my bargain .

With Redrak... why not just have him be a heroic senior officer, as opposed to giving him the Honorifica Imperialis? You could then use the HI for another model in the army.

Also, with the Furious Charge and Preferred Enemy (Orks), does he convey this to the unit he's attached to as well?

(I'm also probably missing where this burst of inspiration is coming from).
