Oh and btw, if you were wondering why he costs so much just remember... He wants half... Haha, but yeah. He is probably worth his points. I just wanted to know if he is overpowered.

Uh...k.

A little less randomness would be a good idea. WS4 S4 T4 W2 I5 A3. If you want him to be more like the villain from the movie, I'd suggest T5 W5 and Unbreakable.
And he should be a Lord choice, I guess.

The 6 result in the CC phase is too good, even considering his cost (his A1 makes it almost okay). If you want the "laughing gas" thing, he could make everyone in base contact WS1 S1 T1 I1 for the turn. Something like that.

...weird.

Laughing gas could be toughness test or suffer a wound no armor. 5 result in CC is redundant with his charge ability. He's very imbalanced. Most of the time he's irrelevant, but if the dice align you're suddenly down a general. There needs to be either less or more control as to what's going on. By less control I mean like the Giant's table rather than the random buff table you have. I think he'd fit better into 40k than fantasy.

he is over-powered...and awful. Guns? electricity? you're in the wrong made up unvierse.
