The Auditorium Diabolicum

The Auditorium Diabolicum is a daemon-possesssed Baneblade of ancient construction and Slaaneshi devotion. Some say it was of the Emperor's Children and fell with that Legion, others say it was once the Cadian Baneblade Terra's Fist, lost in the Warp in M33. Nevertheless of its origins, the Auditorium has been reported destroyed countless times, only to re-emerge unheralded once more from the Immaterium to wreak havoc and devastation upon the enemies of Slaanesh.

Daemonic Possession

She Who Thirsts
By momentarily slaking its eternal thirst for souls, the Auditorium may regenerate itself. If the Auditorium kills ten models in a single turn, roll a D6. On a 4+ it regenerates one lost structure point or one weapon destroyed.

Warpshift
The Auditorium may choose to, in the movement phase, move up to 36" and then fire its guns in the shooting phase as if it had remained stationary. However, every time it does so it must make a dangerous terrain test.

Waaaay Too powerful for 550pts. Sorry.
It's an awesome concept, but for 50pts more than a normal baneblade you get a D weapon, regen and a 36" move and fire?
Needs to be 650.

Some nice thoughts there are you doing a model to go with the rules? I'd like to all those sonic weapons on a baneblade.

Couple tweaks i'd have a think about would be Psychosonic Frequencies 24" is an awfully big radius for such a powerful effect especially as some slaaneshi stuff is high initiative anyway. Warpshift easy there sunshine that's very powerful, someone may correct me on this but i thought superheavies could fire everything anyway so you're moving a huge tank 36" every turn and firing off a lot of firepower. The Lyra Chaotica should probably be ordanance as well.

A nice set of rules hope the model follows on as well.

Warpshift is wayyy overpowered. Seriously, a 36" movement, letting me fire all weapons with only a 1/6 chance of losing half of my movement?

Apart from warprift the rules look good and interesring.

Yeah 660 is more like it. Warprift is still a bit iffy, but hey, it does look pretty awesome now.

Id make it 666 pts (6 is Slaaneshes holy number) and remove Warprift completely.
