Alrighty, more concious again, less busy, can actually poke these.

I'll go digging for my SC i made up for my Vet squad IG. See if you think i costed him right.
Been working on a Ibram Gaunt for 6th ed too. Trying to balance it between the 3.5 codex and the lord commissar stats from 5 ed.
edit; Found it!
Senior Lt Jonus Remaus ( Points 60)
WS4 BS4 S3 T3 W2 I3 A3 LD9 SV4+
Unit Type: Infantry (Veteran Squad upgrade to sergeant)
Wargear: Liberus (Power sword), Lasgun Carbine, Las pistol, Frag and Krak Grenades, Grav Chute
Special Rules: Iron discipline, From the skies!
From The skies: Any Vet squad that Remaus is bought for gains the ability to deep strike.
I've said it before, I'll say it again... damnable evil Guard pricing.
But I think I'm getting the hang of it.
Unit Type: (Flying/Jump) Monstrous Creature (Character)
Wargear: Daemon of Tzeentch, Wings, Power Armour, The Black Mace
Special Rules: Daemon, Fearless, VotLW,
Soul Hunter (Whenever this model wins a challenge or destroys a unit/vehicle, roll a D2:
1: Gain +1 wound (up to a maximum of 10)
2: Cause the nearest unengaged non-vehicle unit within 12" to move into base-to-base contact with Sedecim (they may not participate in the assault in this turn))
Costing:[spoiler]+Daemon Prince [145 pts]
+Daemon of Tzeentch, Wings, PA [75 pts]
+1 T [10 pts]
+Soul Hunter [50 pts]
+The Black Mace [45 pts]
- 1Ld, -1 I [-15 pts]
Total: [310 pts]
Ofc, I'll need some opinions about the homebrew rule...
Daemon Prince Ay. Should be reasonably straightforward.
Costing:
Total: 280
I think that moving a unit 12" to base contact is possibly a bit much, I would probably make it 6", then can probably drop the price by 5pts.
Soul Hunters powerful, but it has specific requirements to activate.. so probably ok at the lower price there
Special rules: Champion of Chaos, Independent Character, Fearless, Relentless, Warpeye Scopes
Warpeye Scopes: All friendly Havoc models get +3" weapon range. All Havoc models in Kadeus' squad gain +6" weapon range instead.
Wargear: Onslaught, Daemonic Targeting Cogitator, Power Armour, Aura of Dark Glory, Power Axe, Bolt Pistol, Frag Grenades, Krak Grenades, Melta Bombs
Onslaught: This artifact heavy bolter has been techno-mutated beyond recognition and is loaded with malicious daemon-possessed shells.
Each shell is charged with Warp energies before it is fired, and the slower the weapon is fired the more energy is charged into each shell. Choose one of the following two profiles for Onslaught each time it fires:
Range 36" S5 AP4 Heavy 4, Rending
Range 36" S7 AP3 Heavy 2, Rending
Daemonic Targeting Cogitator: Any Havoc squad that Kadeus has joined re-roll rolls to hit when shooting Snap Shots, and re-roll to hit rolls of 1 when shooting normally.
I am not sure if he should be toned down, he was spawned out of the idea of an actual ranged Chaos Lord, something that we have not seen before to my knowledge (Not on the loyalist side either for that matter) He'll only pen a AV14 vehicle less than 1 out of 3 times he shoots at it even if he uses the S7 profile, so Rending did not seem too OTT, and he needs some firepower if he is to get his points back at range.
http://gyazo.com/72bbf16fdfcce9d29b544d6fa0006ae7 Here is the entire command structure of my Warband (Doubt it'll ever grow to that size though- it's just for fluff reasons!), and as it is I only think Kraxis, Karnus and Kadeus (KKK ) needed special rules. The others will probably do with converting counts-as models and using the normal Chaos Lord/Dark Apostle/etc entries.

Las carbines are in dark heresy. They have less shots, clip, range, and damage, but weigh less, and you can wield then one handed with a -10 penalty instead of -20. WH40k rules would probably be a bit like the pulse carbine is to a pulse rifle. I'm thinking he meant something 12" S3 AP- Assault 2, or perhaps Assault 1 but it count as another CC weapon (like pistols do).
