What should I improve on my rules

How many points is he worth?

Sanquinus wasn't a psyker. Not in any way.

yes he was?

he had the power of pre-sight, and his psychic echo messed up the BA

Sanguinius was a pretty damn good psyker.

Evidence?

Even if he was a Psyker, casting 4 powers per turn is ever-so slightly OTT.

Also, could you edit the OP to spread the stats out abit? it doesn't read that well.

Sanguinius was a psyker and a very good one he costs 385 points and you could change the spells to 3.

people really should just stop trying to make primarchs. Just use Mephiston, and pretend hes Sanguinious. Mephy is OTT enough as it is without making up new silly rules.

Really, if you want to use something similar to a primarch, just use Abbadon's stats, wargear and points costs (possibly with an increase to compensate for being in a different codex. Hes the successor to Horus, and should provide a good baseline for how powerful a Primarch should be.

EDIT: For reference it was a "feat" for Fulgrim to defeat an Avatar. Primarchs are not and should not be super Avatars / Demon Princes. They are awesomely tough individuals, but they aren't invincible gods of war. If you want that... errrrr... you are playing the wrong game...

he forsaw his own death, and said death left a psychic scar on the blood angels, all the proof you need is in index astartes or the ba codex

I bought the model from Ebay and wasnt satisfied using Mephiston rules so i made some rules. Sanguinius can be killed very easily by Eldar spell called: Mind War, or with a psyker an a Tyranid Death Leaper.

As said before, how many points? Then we can make a real decision to how good the proposed rules actually are.
