So i recently bought the Blood Angels codex and it clearly says that you can create an HQ for a BA successor chapter, and give that HQ any special character stats.

exemple: Bob Champion of the Blood Drinkers=Mephiston Stats

Now my question, is it totally legal or can a just tell me it has to be THE right character and i can only use my HQ as a normal captain/librarian.

just making sure here, thanks.

Essentially you just "rename" Mephiston to be whoever you want - so you cannot change the stats, i.e. your character will still have the stats of Mephiston, just a different name.

Yes you can do this. You can do this with any race so if you make a pimping ass thunder hammer guy for example you can use darnath lysanders rules but call him something else like billy mc awsome sauce if you were so inclined.

Yes, you can. All you have to say is "I am using Mephistons rules".

What you cannot do is use SOME of his rules and mix them up with another, or use a Special Character from 1 codex in a different army.
