Commander Darksun - 150 + XV25 Team

Darksun is bought as an upgrade for an XV25 Stealth Team, replacing the Team's Shas Ur've (or whatever the sergeant equivalent is called)

WS3 BS5 S4 T4 W2 I4 A2 Ld9 Sv3+

Wargear and Weapons

XV25 Stealth Suit

Burst Repeater

Retinue: Darksun's Stealth Team retinue counts as having a squad size of 2-5. They may take up to 2 Fusion Blasters instead of the usual limit, and they also automatically have offensive and defensive grenades, as well as the Acute Senses rule. In additiom, they may be given +1BS for 10 Points per model.

Stealth Company: Stealth Teams may be taken as a Troops or Fast Attack choice in any army led by Darksun. In addition, any Stealth Team within 12" of Darksun count as Fearless, as they try to show their worth to Darksun's Retinue.

What does Dakka think?

I really like the weapons

I'm rather neutral on the Retinue thing, but they certainly are cool.

the burst repeater is WAY OP'd for 110pts. the gun alone should cost 70.

I'd say around 130 points, and you'd have a deal.

Ok he's been changed to 130 Points. Do you think I should add an extra rule which allows him to take Stealth Teams as Troop Choices?

If you want to make all stealth teams troops choices maybe it would be better to round him off at 150pts but to sweeten the deal you could say something like all stealth teams within 12" of him are fearless cause they want him to notice them for bravery etc

Sounds like a good idea, I'll add that.
