Zarha'borr The Star Killer 285pts

WS5 BS5 S7 T7 W5 I4 A4 LD10 SV4+

wargear:

Necrodermis: Zarha'borr has a 4+ invulnerable save. If the star killer loses its last wound, models within D6'' of the C'tan suffer a strangth 4 ap1 hit.

Special rules: fearless, eternal warrior, fleet, monsterous creature

Immune to natural law: Zarha'borr the star killer ignores the effects of difficult and dangerous terrain while moving

C'tan manifestations of power:

star beam: RNGE:12''* STR7 AP2 assault 1, blind (draw a line 12'' from the star killers base then nominate a second point in any direction within 3D6'', all units underneath the line suffer a number of hits equal to the amount of models underneath it from that unit.

star light: roll a D6 for each enemy unit within 6'' of the C'tan shard, on a 4+ the target units suffer the effects of the blind USR (the unit must still take an initiative test) , and due to the brightness of the star killer, overwatch may not be made against him.

Seems OK, base C'tan stat-line and a not OP power. You have forgot a few things though, for example a range on the beam power (I'm guessing 12 inches?) and I don't think concussive works to well with the Star light power. Why would such a bright light knock someone down? I'm thinking it could give him assault grenades maybe? Or deny overwatch due to the C'tan being to bright to aim at? I would also suggest the special rule fleet, because the biggest problem with C'tan is they are to slow.

thanks for the advice ive given him fleet got rid of concussive and gave him a and d grenades plus no overwatch

Id pick either grenades or no overwatch, its always better to be UP then OP with homerules.

he has just the no overwatch ability now

You'll have to clarify is his Star Beam is a Psychic Power or not, because as it stands, anything designated specifically as a Beam weapon requires a Psychic Test, unless it has its own rules like the Death Ray on the Doom Scythe.

no its not its just a normal c'tan manifestation how would i present it to look like a normal weapon and keep the beaam rule?

A copy and paste from the Death Ray would work, just change the ranges and S/Ap values to suit your own ideas.

thanks

Is he an MC or an IC? What type of creature is he?

I assume a MC as this is meant to be a custom C'tan.

he is a c'tan so MC

Then you need to mention it under his Special Rules as Type: MC. RAW-wise, there is not such thing as a Type: C'tan.

done

Looks alright.

Small issue but the name sounds too close to the Nightbringer's name, Aza'Gorod.

The other C'tan don't end with Gorod to indicate they are C'tan.

Regarding the Malevolence Dynasty, have you had a chance to playtest them yet?

yea i couldnt think so may have took part of the nightbringers name but will change it when i can think of a better one.

and i have yes i pay tested Ruprekh (using rules in the Mavelance dynasty thread i made couple days ago http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/561370.page#6215258) yes he is very good but at 300pts i would actually say you get what you pay for with the newer rules i did. overall it has reinvigorated my look and view of the hobby and i like it, i had fun and so did my opponent. He said their was some very powerful stuff in the codex but overall nothing that was unbeatable (apart from Ruprekh who i made with that fact in my mind) he said maybe bump Ruprekh up to 320-340 pts but over wise pretty good so im quite happy.

Fluffy, I like it.

I do agree with either the 'nades or no overwatch.

Yea just went with the no over watch.
