So, when I was reading the BA codex, I missed a guy in it: Sepheran, the exalted herald of Sanguinius. I think he should be stronger then a Sanguinary Guard, so here is the profile I created. I hope its not rubbish




Sepheran, Exalted Herald of Sanguinius Point cost: 240 points

Sepheran is the Lord of the Sanguinery Guard. He is the strongest of his kind, and it is he who leads the Sanguinary Guard into battle. He is a truly deadly opponent, and he killed some of the biggest monsters the Sanguinary Guard ever faced. It was him that helped the Grey Knights to kill the feared Bloodthirster Ka'Bandha, he led the attack at the hated Eldar who slaughtered so many Battle-Brothers at Semmel and his records are full of more heroiv things like these. It is truelly said that Sepheran is a deadly opponent, for he has faced the worst enemies of mankind.

Sepheran is an inspiring sight at the battlefield, and all units within 16" use his morale.

If he joins another squad, that squad counts +1 to their WS

Unit Composition
Sepharan (unique)
2 Sanguinery Guard
______________________________________
Space Marine Weapon Emplacements.............................................20 points

The Space marines sometimes prepare the battlefied by placing heavy weoponry on the battlefield. When placed and used by a squad, these things become truly deadly. But if the soldiers manning the cannon die, the weapon can be used against them, As so, the Space Marines should carefully place them, or get it used against them.

Unit composition

1 Heavy Weapon of these choices:
- Heavy Bolter
- Plasma Gun
- Autocannon
- Lasgun

Special Rules:

Immobile

Defending systems

When an enemy uses the cannon, the Space Marine army can send a squad to the control system
of the cannon. When in contact with this, the cannon will be shut down. If he wants the cannon to work again,
he can use a squad at the control system to let it work again.
If you have more then 1 cannon, write down wich control system/pannel is from wich cannon

So, this was it.
I hope you liked it


More coming up!

I don't exactly get what he is supposed to do. If he's meant to be the Lord of the SG then surely he would make them a Troops Choice? Even then, he's still beaten on every single frony by Dante, and then some. While it's a good concept, it needs more thought into making it more unique, rather than a quite generic "Ld bubble".

Okay I thinking on editing some things.
Thanks for feedback.

Okay I edited the Lord of the SG

Next Im busy with a special drop pod for BA

Seems very similar to Dante atm. Possibly look for a special rule which makes him different to dante. Maybe something to do with the fuff of the sanguinor guard or something. I don't really know the fluff behind them so I can't suggest anything sorry.

Yeah Im busy with that.
I
Also busy gettin some weapon emplacements to drop =p

I wouldn't even make him a special character. I think he fits better as an unique upgrade for a Sanguinary Guard unit.

IE:

Any Sanguinary Guard unit may include Sepheran, Exalted Herald of Sanguinius for an additional 180pts (or whatever cost).

Also, making all Sanguinary Guard troops is Dante's job. IF, and only IF, Sepheran was to do anything similar, only the unit he joins should be a troop. Though he would be best used to empower the Guard.

Potential abilities:
Call of the Angels - When rolling for reserves for this unit, you may modify the roll by 1. (This allows him greater command of when this powerunit drops on the field).

Intervention of Sanguinius - When Sepheran joins a unit of S. Guard, that unit gains divine intervention ( See Vanguard Vets).

Also consider giving him a Blood Chalice. A member of the honor guard has it, as well as the priests. I could reasonably see this character having one considering the roll of the Sanguinary guard.


These are just ideas I'm tossing out as they come to mind.

Thats a pretty good idea.
But I dedcided to make him HQ because the things I read in the BA codex seemed to say he is pretty more then 'just a stronger Sanguinary Guard'.

Ill look after it soon, after some weapon emplacements. I also change this tread to pace marines universal, with Sepheran as unique BA HQ.
