Yeah I was thinking about that much so there werea bit more expensive than marines, but not so expensive they took almost all your points.

**Tyranic Marta**

im just worried that these are troops, and for 180 points you could field an awful lot of them

**Matt.Kingsley**

Correction: 198pts
You have to have 11 of them
Anyway, I'm thinking of making the soulstorm power similar thing cost points.

**Tyranic Marta**

too true, i think you should round it off to 200, 198 is so awkward

and yes you probably should

**Matt.Kingsley**

Ok, 200 pts it is

**Tyranic Marta**

kewl

maybe give them a power as base and then you can buy the other powers for 20 points eachish

**Matt.Kingsley**

Ok, I'll give them the str/t raise power as base
Shooting power for 15pts
Soulstorm similar thing power for 20-25pts?

**Tyranic Marta**

good good, i reckon 20 pts

**Matt.Kingsley**

Ok 20pts

**Tyranic Marta**

Lookin good

I think that you should work on ur Elites next
one of em i reckon should be like a really skilled close combat squad, not in termy armour but high i and ws?

**Matt.Kingsley**

Yeah, sure

**King Pariah**

Those should probably be the Doomed Ones, it would make sense, those exalted above their fellow marines. I think it would also be pretty fitting if the whole squad could have access to power weapons, though it would be expensive, it would work pretty well fluff-wise with Malal. And definitely have the aspiring champion/equivalent have access to duel lightning claws.

**Tyranic Marta**

Would have to agree, wanted to say it but thought it might have been OP but then again i guess termies all have power weapons so it all evens out doesnt it?

**King Pariah**

That just got me thinking...

I'd say also no access to power fists or the like (as in weapons that bump initiative down to one), it'd take away from the point of them having a high initiative.

**Tyranic Marta**

Very damned good point

however i suggest that for every three models in the squad one may take melta bombs for 5 points

**King Pariah**

I like... very much

**Tyranic Marta**

thankyou *takes a bow*

**King Pariah**

Suddenly i feel cruel and want to suggest a jump pack option for these guys...

**Tyranic Marta**

nods

bikes would also be a good idea

and hell why not do a space wolf and say these are your termies

they can take termie armour for 15 ppm

**King Pariah**

Hmmm... kinda sounds like lesser Chaos Lords, which makes sense. I'd say go for it.

**Matt.Kingsley**

OOO haven' you guys been busy!
Anyway, because dakka has been helping so much with the fandex, the 'final' version will have your usernames in the creits, wadda you think?
Anyway, these ideas are great for a second elite unit!
Wait, have you guys forgotten about the possessed already?

**King Pariah**

Possessed who?

jk, nah, I just got kinda psyched about these guys, also never been that much of a fan of the possessed.

But that would be pretty neat being in the credits, well I'm off to bed, good luck and good writing!

**Matt.Kingsley**

good bye!
Sleep well

(

)
Time to work on the 'DOOMED ONES' (lol, not much work for me

)

**Tyranic Marta**

epic

im still around tho, and awsoem

would love to be in the credits, lord knows there are enough references to dakkanauts in my fandex

**Matt.Kingsley**

I'm glad you like the idea.
Now then, here's my idea for the 'Doomed Ones'
Unit size: 1-10
Ws5
Bs4
S4
T4
W1
I5
A2
Sv3+/5++

**Tyranic Marta**

hows about you buy them as a squad but when the game starts its actually a goup of IC's, thus you could join a couple onto a MalalCSM ic squad for some extra melee meaty

**Matt.Kingsley**

That was the plan

**Tyranic Marta**

excellent

im liking this more and more

**Matt.Kingsley**

And I'm thinking of arming them with poisoned 4+ bolt pistols
And of course options for power weapons that make them str 6 (come on, we might as well)

**Tyranic Marta**

sigh

i never thought i would say this but

Never

ever
ever
again should we have s6 power weapons

to
daymn
op

possibly the most over powered thing you can give to a terminator

"Your trying to tell me that that thing hits me first, on threes, and wounds me on twos? No way man, tell you what ill shoot it to bits, oh wait its got a 2+ armour save"
