Heyy guys, this is my WIP Slaaneshi-daemon character Serrys, just skip the fluff if it doesn't interest you. C&C on both the fluff and rules would be greatly appreciated!

Serrys

The daemon-herald known as Serrys is undoubtedly one of Slaanesh's most favoured creations, having been gifted with a sentience and cunning which rivals even the greater daemons of her patron. The Imperium's first recorded meeting with the daemon was during the Siege of Terra, aboard Horus' flagship - The Vengeful Spirit. It was here that the Emperor of humanity did battle with the Warmaster of Chaos, meanwhile, his entourage of space marines was scattered throughout the decks of the ship. At the battle's plateau, Rogal Dorn beamed aboard to lend what aid he could and to discover the fate of his master. On his quest to re-unite with the Emperor and Sanguinius, Dorn came into contact with Serrys, the Chosen of Slaanesh. Striking from the shadows, she slew the two Imperial Fists marines accompanying Dorn in an eyeblink. Without hesitation, the Primarch engaged in what would become a lengthy, protracted duel between the Emperor's Finest and the Princess of Slaanesh. Even with his mighty strength, the Primarch failed to land a telling blow, Serry's form twisted and writhed between the Warp and realspace with each swing, all the while her claws biting deep into Dorn's flesh as she rent his armour in vital joints. After suffering a number of dangerously-deep cuts, Dorn started to tire. Serrys, however, had been rapidly gaining speed in the delicate dance she had been weaving around the Primarch and had reached a point where even her unholy senses were starting to falter under the sheer rapidity. In the end, one false step was all it took for Serry's clawed feet to become entangled and fall to her knees before Dorn, who quickly silenced her with a telling blow from his great hammer. It has been speculated that without her intervention, Dorn may have arrived while the fight between Horus and the Emperor was in full force and could have intervened to prevent the Emperor from being almost killed, in this regard, Serrys can be considered the small spanner which put a halt to the machine that was the great Imperium and is still reviled and cursed by the descendants of Dorn to this day.

Serrys' Rules

Ws 6 Bs 4 S 4 T 3 W 3 I 8 A 5 Ld 10 Sv 4+

Daemonic Gifts:
Aura of Aquiessence, Rending Claws, Unholy Might (inc. in profile), Soporific Musk, Pavane of Slaanesh, Instrument of Chaos

Special Rules:
Daemon, Independent Character, Fleet, Alluring Dancer, Princess of Ecstasy

Alluring Dancer:
- All enemy models in base contact with Serrys fight with -1A (to a minimum of 1), Her graceful speed and near-perfect footwork memorising to both the mortal and immortal.

Princess of Ecstasy:
- As the chosen of Slaanesh, Serry's enjoys privileges that no other servant of her patron is entitled to, gifting her with additional combat prowess is one of many gifts that Slaanesh has given her. Serry's attacks rend on a 5+ and in addition, any model which suffers a wound but is not killed from one of Serry's attacks must pass an initiative test at the end of every subsequent assault phase they are locked in combat with Serrys or be removed as a casualty, a model can be made to take more than 1 Initiative test.





So yeah, that's her. Comments guys! Any idea on how many points? I was thinking around the 120-140 mark.

Thanks,

Iranna.

Lol, forgot that minimum! Pavane is much like Lash of Submission, however, it's not a Psychic power and only moves a unit d6".

Why thank you.

DarknessEternal wrote:You may have been hoping for more, but there's not much else to say. I always make an effort to let people know when they've come up with a sane and reasonable thing since that happens so infrequently around here.

No no, any feedback is very much appreciated and if you feel that she is fine as is, that's all good and well.

Thanks,

Iranna.

Thank you very much!

I believe a variety of weapons have been synonymous with Dorn; sword, hammer etc.

Ahh yes, just regular infantry.

Not really. Nowadays, there is an abundance of I4+ Independent Characters and Monstrous Creatures, most of the time it will come down to luck. Also note that usually (on the charge), she will hit 4 times and rend ~1. That means only 1 Initiative test and that will usually only be failed on a 5 or a 6.

Deadshot wrote:I agree. I thi it would be better if it were changed it to inflicting ID.

Why would this be better for a MC? In the above scenario they actually come of worse due to a lot of them lacking an invulnerable save. This would also mean that characters without Eternal Warrior (which are much more abundant than those with it) would also suffer.

Thank you, your continued support is noted

chrisrawr wrote:If it gets to be a problem, would "inflicts 2 wounds" or "Inflicts wounds equal to the difference in Initiative" be suitable - or not what you're looking for at all?

As well, Mesmerized might be a better substitute for Memorised in your fluff

Well she has an I8, I think many people would prefer the initiative test

Doh, fail for me!

Thanks,

Iranna.
