Well first, the basic stats.

God-Emperor- 300 pts
WS BS S T W I A Ld Sv
10 5 6 6 5 6 5 11 2+ (Invun of 3+)

Rules:
Eternal Warrior, Fearless, Furious Charge
Ultimate Psyker: The Emperor can use 4 psychic abilities per turn and may use any power in the Space Marine codex. He does not have to roll a psychic test.
Icon of Humanity: All units within 18" of the Emperor automatically pass all morale tests.
True power: The Emperor may re-roll failed rolls to hit and wound, and ignores all saves, EVEN Invun. saves.
Leader of mankind: The Emperor may be used as a HQ in any imperium army.


Extremely overpowered, I know. I'm sure this has been done before, but it's my turn now!

He needs to be more points.

lol- How many??

double it.

I think.. 500 pts??

550

His stats should be all 10s

No.

I think he should take up all hq slots in the force organization chart too

Ld 11?

I think that if you're playing the emperor, the FOC is probably being thown out the window.

If he's leading the army all other HQ's become Elites.

Or troops.

I think he needs a 2+ invuln that acts as a DE Shadow field. However, once it drops it becomes a 3+ invuln.

The Emperor of mankind has to be tougher than a storm shield.

Or maybe he has Armor 14 on all sides like a LR. =)

He should be.....

OVER 9000!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lol,My friend and I where thinking of the same thing.

Don't forget His flaming sword and is awesome lightning claw.

I like the Shadow field style, but T6 with 2+ inv. save I'd say over 1000 pts. thats not all, WS10 S6 FC with re-rolls WTF? all unit within 18" automatic pass to ld tests? Ignore all saves? 4 psychic powers per turn and no psychic tests? No wait.... 9000 pts Apoc. only!

My foot guard would love the emperor attached to a big ol' blob. Who needs commissars when you pass EVERY morale check?

Yeah...Apoc only...and at least 600pts, probably more towards 750 if not higher.

remember ALL units within 18 pass LD test aka even enemy units

Yeah I do agree with the Apoc. only thing

I think for emperors/primarchs their stats should be similar to a chapter master (+1 w/b skill, +1 I and +1 attack) but they get to reroll everything hits, wounds, enemy/own saves and never need worse than a 4+ to hit or wound. I like the 'shadowfield' idea but maybe knock it down to 4+ to represent his defences being breached.

Who would win in a fight between the Emporer and a Hierophant Biotitan?

I think the emperor would avoid such an encounter as the psychic feedback from summoning the power necessary would probably wipe out all his own troops.

Inferno sword, and mega-elctro-claw-O-Death = Win

Here's a revised version I would suggest (apoc. games only):

God-Emperor- 600 pts
WS BS S T W I A Ld Sv
6 5 4 6 5 6 5 10 3+/2++*

Rules:
Eternal Warrior, Fearless, Furious Charge, Independent Character

Ultimate Psyker: The Emperor can use 4 psychic abilities per turn and may use any power in the Space Marine codex. He does not have to roll a psychic test.

Icon of Humanity: All friendly space marine, imperial guard, witchhunter, or demonhunter units within 12" of the Emperor are considered fearless.

For the Emperor!: The Emperor and any unit he is attached to gains furious charge, counter-attack, and may re-roll failed rolls to hit on the turn they assault.

Leader of mankind: The Emperor may be used as a HQ in any imperium army.

A Thousand Souls: At the beginning of each of your turns, before moving but after rolling for reserves and deep striking, roll a die. On a 4+, an infantry unit of your choosing must be removed from the game so that the God-Emporer may live. This unit does not count as a victory point for any player. If you do not have an infantry unit in play then the God-Emperor is removed from play and counts as a victory point for your opponent. You may not choose to not sacrifice an infantry unit if you have one in play when you roll a 4+.


Wargear:
Emblazoned Sword.
Emblazoned Sword counts as a str 6 power weapon. When assaulting units with an armor value, add 2d6 to the roll to penetrate.

Empowered Lightning Claw.
Empowered Lightning Claw counts as a str 6 power weapon and may re-roll failed rolls to wound.

Divine Halo.
Divine Halo gives the God-Emperor a 2+ invulnerable save until he fails an invulnverable save. After a failed roll for an invulnerable save, the divine halo counts as an iron halo.


---

There, that should balance things a little bit, especially the "A Thousand Souls" rule.

Maybe have him outside the foc, if you are running 2 detachments, just have him be it's own entity

You forgot his rule that when you roll a D6 on a roll under a 7 he stays on the throne and does nothing that turn

I think that the next step to this idea would be to convert a model that does the Emperor justice.

I mean, he is an all-knowing, almost divine being - practically a God amongst men. It'd be damned tough to capture all of this in a single miniature......

Oh, its been done.

Anyway, I don't think these stats do the Emperor justice. I don't even think its possible to.

Magnus went toe to toe with a Titan and won, and he wasn't as powerful as the Big E.

Additional rule for him:

Last, best hope for humanity: The God-Emperor is humanity's only hope for survival. If he is killed or removed from play, the controlling player immediately looses this game. Additionally, any other players playing an army from the IoM that are within earshot of this game immediately loose their games. In the event that both players in a game loose, then that game's win is credited to the nearest Xenos player.
