I was able to pick up a Shadowsword/Stormlord kit for cheap this past weekend and would love to add a little Apocalypse spice to my Exorcists Space Marines.

I will go on and write up some fluff on the tank. Probably something along the lines of a gift from the inquisition and mechanicus for helping the defense of a forgeworld. The tank will be painted in the Chapter colors and have the chapter symbol.

Here are the current rules of the Stormsword:

What I want to change/do.

- BS4 (I know the main gun is blast, but marines are piloting it)
- 24" Rites of Battle (LD10)
- Machine Spirit - Every turn you can ignore the first weapon shaken.

I'm thinking about 650 points.

Not to bad, but the LD 10 is too good. Unless your playing all SMs.

I would just give it BS4 and a 12" Rites of Battle. The Primary Weapon rule lets them ignore Gun Crew Shaken and Weapon Destroyed 50% of the time anyway.

@ Config: LD10 is actually worse than getting to reroll leadership. I made it 24" based upon the command tank/hq rule.

I think I will drop the machine spirit and keep the 24" Rites of Battle. Price it at 550-600. Too cheap? Too expensive?
