This'll be my take on High Marshal Helbrecht of the Black Templars, updated to 5th edition.



WS BS S T W I A Ld Sv
6 5 4 4 4 5 4 10 2+

Equipment: Artificier Armour, Iron Halo, Sword of the High Marshals, bionics, crusader seals, frag and krak grenades, combi-melta, bolt pistol

Special rules: Independent Character, Rites of Battle (as per C:SM and current C:BT), Successor of Sigismund, Indomitable

Sword of the High Marshals: This ancient sword is a master-crafted power weapon. It increases Helbrecht's Strength by 1, and also forces enemies that are wounded by Helbrecht to reroll any successful invulnerable saves.

Successor of Sigismund: As Chapter Master of the Black Templars, Helbrecht is the successor of Sigismund, the first Emperor's Champion and the first High Marshal. His presence inspires his brethren to fight even more zealously than normal. Helbrecht, and any unit he is attatched to, leads or joins gains the Furious Charge Universal Special Rule as long as Helbrecht is attatched to it. In addition, the D6 rolled by Helbrecht's unit for the purpouses of Righteous Zeal always counts as a 6.

Indomitable: Embodying the zeal of the Black Templars, Helbrecht will never retreat, even in the face of insurmountable odds. Helbrecht, and any unit he joins, is fearless. Additionally, Helbrecht's unit may always use the consolidate move from Righteous Zeal to move in any direction, not just towards the nearest enemy unit.


C&C please. Also, since this is my first attempt at custom rule creation, I haven't figured out a point cost yet, was thinking somewhere around 225 to 240. Fair or not?

For thirteen years I had a dog with fur the darkest black. For thirteen years he was my friend, oh how I want him back.

Anywhere worth being

I'd say drop him down to 3 wounds and cost him at 200.

Alternatively, 3 wounds/eternal warrior for 240.

Good ideas, I agree with the above guy, give him Eternal Warrior and price him at 240 and you'll have a good character there

I agree with W3/EW. Also, I'd drop Bionics as that's probably going to be phased out anyway.

I'd streamline it a bit as well, like this:
