This guy I made for my own chapter and I thought I would post him on here to see what people. If this is in the wrong thread then sorry also for any mistakes.

Out of all the Shining Spectres Imhotep at most times was not a favourite in his superiors eyes this is because he does not attack his enemies first but tries to reason with them but this normally lead to him being attack or one of his men. Imhotep exiled himself when he saw corruption in his chapter when his commander wrongly ordered an attack on an Imperial Guard officer. This lead to those in the 5th Company who believed in Imhotep’s ideas of peace exiling themselves with him. Imhotep spent years in the search for his commander and just as he was about to give up hope when came across an Imperial Guard ship came into space, he immediately thought the worst but it wasn’t so. It was the Imperial Guard officer he encountered so many years ago MR Elusive Man he was quite curious of this encounter so he sent a message and the answer he got was join me and so they got into a conversation. The conclusion was a partnership between the two.

SPECIAL RULES: And They Shall Know No Fear, Combat Tactics, Independent Character, Preferred Enemy(Necrons) .

Blinding Light: While in battle Imhotep uses his Chapter’s gene curse and lights up to make his enemies blind with his chapter’s holy light. Imhotep gains 5+ inv save.

A Peaceful Approach: Imhotep prefers a more peaceful ways so he tries to reason with what he is fighting but when whatever he is fighting doesn’t see peace they see war. When Imhotep charges a unit they have to make an Ld test with 2D6 and if the unit fails the Ld test they will lose one attack to a minimum of one.

WARGEAR: power armour, plasma pistol, frag and krak grenades.

Blade of light

The Blade of light is a weapon given to all officers of the shining spectres as a sign of rank but they mere copies of the original which shines as bright as the sun in the spectres system. Each of the Blades of light shine as bright as the souls which carry them and Imhotep’s blade shines very bright indeed.

The Blade of light is a power sword which makes models attacking Imhotep reroll their hits.

Star grenades

Star grenades contains a mere fraction of the energy of the spectres sun but even the small amount of energy in the grenades can explode with blinding light which can even affect a space marines advanced eyes.

Star grenades count as defensive grenades.

All comments welcome.

The rules seem fine, nothing brokenly overpowered.

But the fluff...errr...Space Marines are bred from day 1 to hate everything Xenos or Chaos. Marines don't try and talk reason with their enemy. When they go somewhere, its to kill everything deader than dead. There is no greater good, there is only war.

Always remember this when it comes to marines;

My armour is contempt
My shield is disgust
My sword is hatred

In the Emperor's name
Let none survive

So just adjust the fluff. There are no truly 'nice' marines. The Salamanders are about as close as you can get, but they don't try and talk nice to their foe beforehand.

I see your point maybe i worded it wrong it's not that he says hello good alien it's that he has a need to reason and sees xenos not as foes but allies.

This could become grimdark because such a thing could never happen and this would lead to him slowly losing hope and lose what makes him good.

So I think that the death of a kind soul is pretty grimdark.

But thanks for the comment anyway.
