Mortarion was pwned by Draigo.

Don't remind me.

Been rolling some ideas around for this guy.

Chulthrax the Pestilent


A product of the gifts of Papa Nurgle and the various contagions spread across Vraks Prime, Lord Chulthrax has become a monstrous, bloated form of his former self, though none would argue that he does not relished in this new transformation. Where Chulthrax walks, destruction and affliection follow, as he trudges alongside the Apostles of Contagion. He seems to take the most delight in the slaughter of workers and crewmen, then turning their crude tools against their allies, having been spotted with construction tools and Imperial heavy weapons fused to his body for lack of better equipment. Chulthrax as gained a small following of renegades and heretic, many throwing themselves at feet than face his sadistic wrath. Though his forceful assaults and affinity for sowing havoc is great, little strategic has been seen in his battles. Imperial tacticians debate whether this is a blessing or a curse for the defenders of Vraks Prime.

Converted big daddy huh.
Which version of Big Daddy is it? A toy, or one of the collectors ed statuettes?

With a quick glance, it seems alright - but question: Why does it have Slow and Purposeful?
It's already a Monstrous Creature so it's already relentless, unless you particularly wanted it always counting as moving through difficult terrain.

Also Eternal Warrior seems a little tacked on there.

Though it generally seems OK for the points.

Though I am guilty of doing it myself, people tend to make Primarchs too powerful. Ws for some of the fightier ones like Russ, Angron, Sanguinius and Horus is fine. WS 8 should be the cap for ther others. Bs 7/8 should be the cap across board. Str and T 7 should be the cap, possibly 6. Kahn would obviuosly have T8 for his bike, and maybe Dorn and Perturabo be tougher (natural toughness for Dorn, Iron skin for Perturabo).
W 5 is aout the cap, maybe 4, with 5 for Horus. I would say int 6 for all primarchs, 7 for Kurze and Corax and 5 for Vulkan as he had slower reactions.

Fair enough. The stats do have to be balanced and planned accordingly, in order to make them fair but have them represented as accurately as possible.

The Emperor's would be like this, as I'd imagine:
WS8 BS5 S7 T7 W5 I7 A5 LD10 SV2++

A staline that is a fusion of Sanguinor and Mephiston seems appropriate for the Big E. The 2++ is his Invulnerable save, which can be attributed to his immense psychic powers.

Moving onto the Primarchs, they'd naturally have slightly different stats, as has already been said. The baseline would be something like:
WS7 BS5 S6 T6 W4 I6 A4 LD10 SV2+/4++

Variations would exist of course, depending on the war-doctrine of every Primarch:
- Melee lovers like Russ and Angron, and possibly Lion and Dorn, would have WS8
- Physically strong Primarchs like Angron would have S7
- Physically resilient Primarchs like Mortarion and Perturabo could have T7, and possibly increased W as well
- Agile Primarchs like Konrad and Corax would have I7 (and be classed as Jump Infantry), Fulgrim may fall into this category too
- Alpharius and Omegon could possibly have increased A, and possibly increased I as well
- Lorgar was not much of a fighter, so his stats would be slightly above those of a Chapter Master
- Vulkan could have I5, due to Nocturne's gravity having influence on his reaction-time
- Horus, and possibly even Sanguinius, would have stats halfway between Primarch-Baseline and The Emperor (with Horus being closer to the latter, in both stats and relations)
- Depending on wargear, psychic potential, or natural abilities, their Invulnerable save could be altered (3++), or in the case of Alpharius+Omegon, be turned into a Cover save

So, I got another guy. Well, same guy, but he's changed quite a bit.

Its neither, its built from a Nurgle Daemon Prince model with GS The slow and purposeful was indeed to have him count as moving through difficult terrain, wouldn't have given it to him otherwise .EW is more or less to avoid GK force weapon overkill.

One of the most notable troops of the Pacifius regiments is Colonel Puller who deployed in the Sabbat Worlds with Guadalcanal, who was part of 7th Marines as an officer during Fortis Binary. He went out of the trenches, mocking what the Lord Commissar’s would say like ‘Forward you dogs’ and ‘Do not fail your duties to the Emperor!’. He was in the very front, protecting the Moore Corps during the action. He was wielding a chainsword and a bolt pistol and executed one of the officers of the Boson 94th because he went AWOL and started shooting anyone, killing 2 Marines, 4 Boson and injuring three more guardsmen. When they retreated back to the lines, the General Dravere requested a meeting with the officer. He was found guilty of losing his Commissar uniform and despite his protest that he wasn’t one, he was dubbed Commissar Puller.
When he returned the troopers were in dismay and thought their officer had been ‘replaced permanently’ by the Commissar but was relieved by the site of Puller in the commissar uniform.
After Fortis Binary the unit went home and started participating in other campaigns. To this day Puller has done almost 85 Tours of Duty and is over 150 years of age but because of Genetic replacements he only looks 60. He suffered serious injury while battling on the Solomon Island’s facing up to a Daemon he distracted in time for the 11th Marines to arrive. On the Herodias V Space Campaign he was lit on fire by a Tau commander, which he ripped off the helmet and proceeded to burn both of them. On Fortis Binary he was wounded by a piece of shrapnel to the stomach, slicing it open and he just got it stitched up. On Armageddon he was ambushed by Ork Commandos in the Sewers of Hive Infernus, which he got his all famous thrice scar on his left cheek. He got his bandanna from the blood of an Ork Warboss Skidoo he killed while in the Hive City Infernus, wrestling the Ork and snapping its neck and then coated the blood on his sleeve, ending the Commandos presence there. He is currently deployed at home with the K Marines. He has been awarded 60 Medals including the Golden Eagle, 3 Bronze Eagles, Silver Bullet, Purple Eagle, Lord Commissar and commissar badge, Peleliu, Cape Gloucester, Guadalcanal and Okinawa badges and many more. But he is known for his outstanding courage, verging on the point of insanity and those that follow him are known as the Rough Ones, for they get the bloodiest bits of the battle, fighting in the worst meat grinders you can imagine, for they are either the best, most fanatical or just want to redeem themselves.

• Air Marshal 'Ace' Swimmer is Graha's most remembered hero. He is simply known as the Ace. A Graha man, he was born on nobility and went into the Admiral Fleet of the Emperor. He was instructed during the War over Herodias V as a Valkyrie pilot to transport the guardsmen squadrons to the surface of the planet but when the orders were given, it was Ace who in the confusion grabbed a handful of the peaceful Vastus, (Except for Boas Husk, who was roaring in delight the entire time) three of the last ones ordered to leave the ship to the Tau Cruisers. He lead the assault of the Valkyries, personally finding the weak spot of one of the cruisers when almost two dozen other ships raced forward to be crushed. He punched a hole through the massive hulk and set down his men and single-handedly from there lead a squad of three Vendetta's that were in his squad to battle against an assault squad of nineteen small Tau fighters, distracting them from the ships embarking the infantry squads onto the Cruiser. But when things turned to worst, the leading cruiser of the Tau open-firing onto the recently captured Tau cruiser, he found the one weakness and despite being told against it, launched every single rocket he had available into the engines of the Power Generator and destroyed the massive destroyer that had downed 6 Guard Destroyers personally. Ace was awarded the Bronze Eagle for his actions over Herodias V and kept his Valkyrie. He was de-commissioned shortly after the battle after hanging the High Marshal of the Destroyer 'Raymond' after the Marshal went rogue and just escaped. He enlisted in the army until he was severely wounded when his squad was ambushed while on a patrol by Orks. He was the only survivor, but killed three of them. Because of the wound to his leg, he couldn't be deployed on the ground as an assault trooper so he was discharged but then volunteered for battle to be a pilot of an assault transport carrier and so as destiny had it, was assigned to the Eye of Graha.

Reckless Driving: If the blues brothers move within 2” of an enemy vehicle, the vehicle’s crew will attempt to chase them and bring them to justice. The vehicle immediately turns to face where the blues brothers ended their movement, and moves full speed towards them. At the end of their movement, they realize that they cannot keep up with the blues brothers driving. They immediately crash, suffering a ram on their front armour. This counts as being rammed by an identical vehicle (i.e. a Land Raider counts as being rammed by an AV14 vehicle, a rhino by an AV11 vehicle, etc). Skimmers cannot dodge this ram. The speed of the ram is the speed the vehicle moved chasing the blues brothers. Any friendly units in the way remain as they are (they just hop out of the way then move back as they were, no penalties).

No, I didn't. Honest... I ran out of gas. I... I had a flat tire. I didn't have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn't come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town.

Upgrade to company command squad, replaces company commander.

Andrue Molasus is a middle ranking field officer of the Valian second infantry legion. While a brilliant tactician, and an inspiring presence to his troops, his rage at the loss of his compatriots has caused him to lose control, and make critical mistakes during combat. His constant attempts to engage enemies have resulted in a score of debilitating wound, which he has had repaired constantly with bionic augmentations.

Unstoppable rage: If Andrue witnesses the destruction of a squad in his command, take a leadership check. If it fails, he gains the rage and furious charge USR, breaking from his squad. He returns to normal after the destruction of the unit or squad which caused it.
Wargear: Close combat weapon
Las-pistol
Carapace armor
Frag grenades
Bionics (4++)

I don't know how many points I should make him.

Maybe qualify what counts as 'witnesses'?

If you DS'd something in on the other side of the table, and it got rolled up, would he go into a rage just because he has LOS? or is it a smaller range?

Also, 'returns to normal' means what...makes a beeline for his old CCS? becomes an IC?

Hrm. I debated simply giving it to the whole squad, but I decided against it.

He becomes an IC, but he cannot join any squad, and must move six inches toward his command squad until he rejoins it. He can shoot, and assault as normal, but cannot give orders until reaching the squad. If his squad is killed while he is gone from it, he returns to his status as a commander, not an IC.

I think there should be consequence for having him away from the squad too long. Of course he's still high and dry until then.

Let's say any unit within 24" and in LOS will cause the morale check.

I don't think there needs to be any consequences, he'll get smacked pretty easily while he's away from the squad, thats consequence enough

Okay. Well, I hope that clears it up. I was thinking like 95 point upgrade? Should it be more, or less?

Waht is artificier armor? Only loyalists can have that. If your guy has it, then you must say what it means. Terminator armor is Terminator armor, but it still described individually in every codex that includes it.

A chain-halberd giving 4+ strength is somwhat strange. I mean, a relic blade or big choppa or executioner gives +2.

Isn't chain-weapons Khorne's domain?

Yeah, I agree with BrotherHaraldus. CSM don't have access to Artificer armor, though you could simply write it in that the armor is blessed by chaos or something.

Although anyone can wield Chain-weapons. Khorne Berzerkers tend to have more of them because they are reliable CC weapons.

3+ invuln from armour? Not even GK has that TBH.

I see no points values.
Yet another samey marine char with 2+/3+*. The cc monterness is probably countered by the complete lack of ranged ability, so long as its points are fair, and I actually like how that tactics thing works (though a lil clarification on when / where / how it loses an attack would be nice) it's a solid idea.

CalasTyphon216 wrote:someone obviously hasn't read ADB's Night lords books......

I just don't like taking away the one redeeming quality of DA currently (Except for Ravenwing) And put it into a combat hulk. Also, Night Lords are quite fond of their fanatical Jump Troops. Ergo, it should probably be Raptors. BL =/= Canon.

THE SCREECHING BANSHEE 150(?) POINTS
The Screeching Banshee is a single Elites selection for any army that fights against an Eldar army except Chaos Daemons and Tyranids.
WS BS S T W I A Ld Sv
The Screeching Banshee 6 5 4 4 2 6 3 10 3+
Composition:
• 1 The Screeching Banshee

Unit Type:
• Infantry (Unique)

Wargear:
• Powered suit (bonus already in profile)
• Fusion pistol
• The Hagslayer
• Plasma grenades

Special Rules:
• Fleet
• Independent Character
• Counter-Attack
• Furious Charge
• Banshee Grudge
• Psyker

Psychic Powers:
• Haywire Screech

Powered Suit: Made from multi-layered neoplas and reinforced with nanofibres, the powered suit is not just simple armour, but a complex defence system that makes the wearer both stronger and tougher. The powered suit confers a 3+ armour save and increase the Strength and Toughness characteristics of The Screeching Banshee by 1 (already included in the profile above).

The Hagslayer: This sleek bastard sword was the doom of many Howling Banshees. It is said that the spirits of the slain Eldar are trapped within the weapon, fueling it with their torment and despair. The Hagslayer is a master-crafted power weapon.

Banshee Grudge: The Screeching Banshee has the Preferred Enemy (Howling Banshees) special rule and gains a 2+ invulnerable save against attacks made by Howling Banshees (including their Phoenix Lord!). In return, all Howling Banshees may re-roll all failed to-hit rolls against The Screeching Banshee for both shooting and close-combat (it is either she or them!).

Haywire Screech: This is a psychic shooting attack that automatically hits an enemy unit within 6" from The Screeching Banshee. Once hit, the unit immediately loses all benefits from any wargear it possesses. Saves (both armour and invulnerable) remains but they must be re-rolled. No other wargear may be used by any model of the unit. In addition, if the targeted unit is a vehicle, then it automatically suffers a Crew Stunned result (note that the vehicle will also lose the benefits of all wargear it possesses as normal!). Haywire Screech remains in play until the start of The Screeching Banshee's next turn.


The Screeching Banshee is a living myth, a stuff of nightmares for all Howling Banshees in the galaxy. Long ago, she was a Howling Banshee herself, an average aspect warrior who only wanted to fight alongside of her sisters. But something terrible happened, and she left her Craftworld with a raving grudge in her heart against her former shrine. All records about this event were purged by Jain Zar herself, and not even the most trusted Farseers were allowed to investigate. Shortly after this incident, the fallen Banshee returned as the Screeching Banshee, using the technolgies of another race and with a shocking power that could turn even the most advanced technology into useless scrap. Since then, The Screeching Banshee fights a merciless war of total annihilation against the Howling Banshees, slaughtering all of them without even the slightest show of compassion.
Though, some says that this isn't the whole truth. Rumours about Howling banshees spared or even saved by the Screeching Banshee apppears from time to time, and Exarches already whisper about a monstrous pattern in her actions, a possibility so vile and nefarious that it is nigh impossible to comprehend with a sane mind.
