I don't think bumping up his T is a good idea. Going up that high is skirting MC level. I'd try to get in more tests before changing things. Frankly, it sounds like rolls went poorly for you. Of course, going against a fellow Eternal Warrior would definitely downplay the Pfist at initiative.

Anyone who complains that his weapon is tau and eldar tech, read the fluff. Hey garuss how long did it take you to come up with the fluff for all of that???

Garuss Acine wrote:well the majorty of the force was Blood Angels led by noe other than the Death Lord with T5 S5, going into assault, he ate 3 marines on his charge, then took some power fist wounds, and failed his invul, no issue, he had three left, well a lucky multi melta hit him and ate another wound(rolled another 1) well as time was getting short we tested Garuss against the Death Lord both at full wounds, the fighting lasted for 3 turns the first round of assault ended up giving 1 wound to Garuss 2 to Mep, Mep survived the armor save then round two, Garuss took a wound and did no damage, auto passed his LD test due to FTP so no extra wounds and finally the next turn Garuss took nothing and applied three wounds giving an over kill on Mep.

all around he made a dangerous character and when using Warp Void, not once did i stop Mep's powers, considering they both had LD10 all he had to do was tie or beat me, the die rolls where in his favor and not once did he tie, he just out did my rolls. the games lasted for three turns, but it showed just how brutal Garuss can be to me, i had him skirt to the side in a Land Raider, when i should have driven him straight down the middle into the main force of the others, with that Power Fist Str power weapon he would have chewed through a ton of the bad guys. but he seemed just to take more wounds than he should, even the other player agreed that his T and S should be Bumped, i think just his T needs to go up, his S is good enough anything higher and he would easily become broken.

I am no so sure about Toughness being a critical factor here...
Failing 2 Invulnerable saves against a Powerfist and a Multi-melta is hardly calling out the need for a higher T.

"The fluff"...by this do you mean "his fluff" or are you referring to ALL of the other reading material written about the 40k Universe? Let's be a bit more specific with our wording here...

If you are refering to "his fluff", sure "his fluff" justifies his character, but just because your own fluff justifies something, doesn't mean that it fits into the broader (and more important) 40k Universe.

I do agree that the primarch thing is a bit out in the 40k universe but the fluff he wrote is a pretty good read with all contrasts to the 40k fluff aside. I don't get exactly how he survived/is around when the rest of the primarch's that aren't chaos didn't. Once again, the fluff (referring to the fluff he wrote so His fluff) was fun to read.

EDIT; I meant the link to HIS fluff that he wrote. So ya his fluff I meant.

EDIT 2: If anything you should lower his inv. save to 4+ considering that's what he should be getting. What justifies a 3+ save when basically everything else get's a 4+?

Not adding much but I saw something I had to comment on, someone mentioned Termies being unable to infiltrate, most of the time that is if you are any one other than the SW who can have a Terminator armor equipt Wolf Guard infiltrate in with Wolf Scouts.

a while, at least 7 months to a year, it all started when i started playing, and i started looking up more and more details(hours a day reading through books, 40kWiki and other 40k fluff info sites) its not perfect but it was worked at, and a lot of attention was poured into it.
