You could cost him at 1000 points and I still wouldn't let you use him just on principle. Don't use a Wagh and don't put him near your other Orks and he's unstoppable. S8 AP3 template, stupidly overpowered damaging and no risk deep strike, and a power weapon to top it off?

I wouldn't know where to begin adding special abilities or coming up with point costs. I just play Sevesh Teel as a straight up sorceror lord. If I did make any special rules for him it would involve his aggression implants and some added combat focus. Not on the level of Mephiston but enough to indicate his origin as a World Eater

Drop his S/T to 4/4 like every other Space Marine Chapter Master and give him Eternal Warrior. If he's gonna have a 2+/3++ with Feel No Pain it's just OP to have all that on a T5 model! I think the Storm Call should have a chance to hit and maybe remove the rear glance hit. Players with Land Raiders might kick a fit when they hear that haha And not that I'm trying to over over power him, but most Chapter Masters confer a bonus onto their troops in placement of Combat Tactics(Maybe?). Obviously you don't have to follow the guidelines, but I think it's reasonable to show his prowess as a leader!

@The Lost Autarch
I would put her at around 110 points. Combat wise she is trading away her witchblade for better combat stats and a power weapon – I think that is an even wash. And 110 points seems around the price for a three powered, spirit stoned farseer.
A Farseer with those powers and wargear is 175. A S4 power weapon is something I'd trade my Witchblade for anyday! And if PU wanted to play a clown army this'd definitely be your gal! I believe 200 is more than reasonable
Thanks! I added up the costs, then for every "new" rule I added on a few more points. I first got a cost that was slightly more than Eldrad, and I thought that was unreasonable, so I lowered it slightly.
I'll be giving this girl a spin soon. I appreciate the feedback.
"The warhost on the hill was one of the most bizzare sights I had ever seen on a battlefield... Xenos, daemons and humans collected together in units together, gripping dice and paintbrushes; Orks, humans and creatures for which I had no name, clad in ancient armour and clothing; steam-powered walkers with antique-armoured assistants; and many bizarre war-machines, many of which had no purpose that I understood.
An Eldar, bizarrely dressed in a customised suit of power armour and standing on a shield borne by two servants, was carried forth out of the crowd. Raising his Daemon weapon, he shouted three abrupt words:
"Thin! YOUR! PAINTS!"
With that, every member of the warhost screamed out their own battlecry; only a few that I heard were "WOLVES FOR THE WOLF GOD, WOLVES FOR THE WOLF THRONE!", "METAL BAWKSES!", and, strangest of all, "CREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED!". However, after a few seconds, all these shouts were replaced with a single, simultaneous battlecry:
"DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA! 'ERE WE GO, 'ERE WE GO, 'ERE WE GO!" Upon shouting this, the entire army charged down the hill, guns blazing." - extract from the report of Colonel Montague, Cadian 12th, on the "Gugalle Incident".

Bel-Annath has some abilities that Dor-Fellion does not; the AP 2 one shot heavy flamer, the zone of stubbornness, the option for an adjusted force organization chart, and he gets to keep his witch blade which he uses with his better than normal farseer combat stats.
A strength 4 power weapon has the edge against marines over the witch blade, but a witch blade wounds C’tan on 2s and hits vehicles at strength 9. Trading away the witch blade for a power weapon adds a lot of flavor to the gal, but it reduces her as a threat in the game overall - it’s like trading in a lascannon for a heavy bolter. Dor –Fellion compares to a marine sergeant with a power weapon in number and strength of attacks. I might be a bit low with 110 points, but her character is basically a normal farseer that fights like a marine sergeant. 200 points seems a bit inflated for what she brings to the table. She should be lower than Bel-Annath anyway, just to account for fact that he has perks that Dor – Fellion doesn’t.
I would play test her at 150 and make adjustments on her price based on her performance in the games.
Warlord 'Ulk da Smashas' Waagh was attacking a planet defended by the IG and was being used by the Mechanicum to test out recently uncovered Archeotech. Seeing no other option to stop 'Ulk from overrunning the facility, the admechs used the tech against the orks....
It wasnt the blastiest bomb 'Ulk had seen da 'umies use, nor da loudest, but it was da most killy, too killy even. All da boys died they say, all dem 'umies too, but not 'Ulk, he got stronger, but not bigga, some say hez da strongest of da orkz, but da 'fing is, hez not da biggest, dat make 'em unorky, so some orkz tried to kill'em, but he krumped 'em. Wherevea he goes dis' appens, some say his WAAAGH! is so loud it makes da planet crack an' kills da orkz but'em, wif no chance da fight back even! Some even say Gork and Mork abandoned 'em and da ork dat kills 'em will get BOTH of 'em to make dem even bigga den Ghazgull 'emself! So hes a freeboota, other freebootas try to kill 'em, or fight with 'em so theyz can stab 'em in da back, but it dont work, so he killz dem or dey leave so he dont smash 'em.

LD: 10
Sv: 2+ invul ----- Why is this a 2++ save? Is it a one-shot save? At T8 there isn't much that can reliably take him out anyway, so a save like this is redundant.
Rules:
"'Ulk SMASH!" : all of 'Ulks attacks are Ap2
"Un-Orky": Any ork within 6"(even if they only move THROUGH THE RADIUS, this applies to models not whole units) of 'Ulk attacks him until they or he is killed.
"Madder 'Ulk gets, stronger 'Ulk gets!": For every wound on him, he gets an extra attack.
"Strongest there is!": Roll a D6 at the beginning of every turn, if the die is lower than the current turn number, 'Ulk decides he has proved his strength and heads toward to nearest table edge(if more than one edge is equi-distant, roll a scatter die and which ever its closest to, of the equi-distant edges) at the speed of 12" a turn any cover/terrain(he run through walls) is ignored, any units(friendly or enemy) he comes across attack him in melee(he attack back) but only orkz(friendly or enemy) stay stuck in, trying to be the one who kills him
"Thunder clap": he claps his hands hard and its a flamer template attack, str 8 Ap3 -------- I'm assuming you modelled this guy after the actual Hulk. In which case, sound is the only thing produced by the clap, and so should only be AP6 or even AP-
"Jump": he leaves the board, next turn he deepstrikes(mishaps on terrain scatter until it is off terrain) scatter into units moves the models to give 'Ulk room to land and everything within 6" gets hit with str8 Ap3 attack. One use only. ------ So if he leaves the board, he comes back on, and if he lands/ scatters into enemy models everything gets an S8 AP3 hit? Would this be from him jumping down from a great height and landing down with great force, causing a shockwave? If so, I'd do something like every model w/in 6" takes an S4 AP- hit. As it is, you'd auto-kill every Space Marine you landed near, and as cool as that would be, it isn't back up by the fluff, nor is it reasonable, even if it is one use only.
"WorldBreaker": When 'Ulk calls a WAAGH! the effect is the same as Ghazgulls, except, the orkz fighting on his side are so terrified that he'll make the planet break and kill them without being able to fight, every ork unit not in melee at the end of the turn its called must take a morale check on the highest morale STAT in the squad(so no using the number of boys as Ld) EVERY. TURN. until they are in melee(any turn after the WAAGH! is called, any ork unit not in melee at the end of the turn takes a morale check) IMPORTANT: Orkz wo fail a morale check because of worldbreaker may take the same number of wounds(no allocation) as they failed the check by(wounds are NOT saveable!) because the orkz figure killing each other still counts as fighting
So hes strong as hell, but can hurt your army almost as much, if not more, than the enemy. Not sure what his points cost should be though, thoughts, opinons?
As he is, I'd say he's an Apoc-only unit for 500 points. However, if you tone him down (like a 3+ armor save and a 4+ Invuln save, plus the other things I suggested), that'd take him down to about 300 points.
Interrogator Chaplain Markians
when Markians was, but a boy of 14 years, on the hive world of Antellius it fell under attack from a large Chaos warband. The warband was led by the figure of Amorthus the sorcerer of Tzeentch he was a accompanied by several marines in jet black armor who said nothing. Within a day the PDF had been swept from the defeces and some of the brave citizens were forced to fight inside the city. Then hope arrived in the form of the Dark Angels. The deatwing led by master Sentirius landed and attacked the chaos warband seeking out Amorthus. when the found him they found the figure of Markians a young boy who had bravely attacked the guard of amorthus with a squad of citizens. The warband had killed the rest of the pdf, but they could not kill Markians. Upon seeing the advancing deathwing, the black armored marines fled, as they did they killed markians father. Amorthus was slain by Sentirius.
After the battle Sentirius told the boy he would join the dark angels. He passed his initiation with distinction and showed a particular hatred of chaos and a desire to recover them. Long years saw Markian become a steadfast brother whose list of honors was long. One night he was taken aside by Interrogator-Chaplain Asomdai who with the blessings of the Inner circle inducted him into chaplains. Several years later after capturing two fallen personally (without full knowledge of who they were) hee was inducted into the interrogator chaplains. He wept bitterly at the fall of brothers he never knew.
Unlike the other Interrogator Chaplains of the Dark Angels Markians does not spend most of his time torturing the fallen rather he leads the strike teams of the deathwing that capture them. He is known for his ability to subdue any opponent. he wield the relic crozius, The Redemptive path, and the relic TDA ultionem angeli

in the end only levitas survived the mission.
he then served anouther ten years as an assault marine before he went for a two hundred year death watch tour, when he returned he was raised to chapter champion, again he spent a few years in the death watch and when he returned the lord watchman had died and he took control of the chapter by votes of the chapter council.

born on amlon prime [recorded destroyed by inquisition]
after his sixth birthday the planet amlon was invaded by ork warlord skarguts who went ahead and slaughtered all beings he could find as if luring some force to the planet, when 2 weeks went by after the ork laughed in the air at the puny hummies one of his mega nobz fell to the floor a single wound to its face, the warlord looked at the direction he saw a crimson armoured terminator holding a bolter a sword in the ground as he drooped the bolter he picked the sword up and bellowed into the air.
"ork face me in single combat lets see if you are as strong as you say."
"who are you to challenge me hummie."
"i am the lord watchman leader of the blood watchmen" as he said this the ork roared with delight.
"i knew if we attacked your worlds you would appear."
as the warlord ran forward and arrived at a clearing the lord watchman was sat their waiting for him.
as the fight began movement caught the warlords eye and he shot with his big shooter, a scream hit the watchman's ears as he saw a woman holding a child fall to the ground.
"pathetic humie cant take a bullet."
as he spoke he turned to see a light erupt around the watchman's sword
"you coward she was defenseless" as he spoke flames erupted from his sword "you have forced my hand, hell dart is hungry now."
as the ork lunged out with his power claw the watchman grabbed he claw from the side and cut the ork and severed its left arm and leg, though the ork activated a transporter device he vanished as did the majority of the orks.
as he went to the woman she was barley able to move.
"i am sorry" as he spoke she passed him the child "i will protect him with my life" as he spoke he saw his marines take out the remaining orks.
ten years later the boy entered the scout company lead by philateties who kept a close eye on him.
he was recorded with nearly twenty thousand kills with his sniper and double that with a chain-sword, the biggest foe killed was a dominatrix he strapped twenty melta bombs too while it was fighting philateties.
after 30 years he was an accomplished space marine in the service of the third company the archangels, he served under sergeant veron who he served with in many campaigns lead by the blood watchmen, of which crusade amlon beta was his most accomplished with a score of nearly 300 ork kills and 100 traitor kills
where he saw his older brother for the first time since he had been taken to become a marine by the man known as airman for his psychic potential, as veron was killed by the brother luminous picked his sergeants sword up and fought his brother and would have lost until a glaive encarmen pierced his chest and stood their was a sanguine guard.
as luminous looked around he saw the lord watchman fighting alongside commander Dante against a blood thirstier.
as he saw a red being walk behind the two chapter masters he rushed forward and activated his jump pack landing before the skull taker. drawing his chain-sword in one hand and the power weapon in his other and clashed about ten meeter's away from Dante and his chapter master.
he knew he could not win but he still fought with his all, as he was about to get killed by the daemon a psycher kicked the daemon away and standing there offering luminous a hand was the lord of death, chief librarian mephiston who smiled at the marine and said one word
"nice attempt but this is no job for a novice" as he said this the daemon was assaulted by the librarian, as he did he saw the marine join him and with each move he matched mephiston with grace and speed using his jump pack as an extra speed boost to dodge the attacks of the daemon, while mephiston pounded the daemon, after an hour the daemon was killed by two blows one from the librarian to its head the other by luminous to its chest
at the end of the battle Dante saw his chief librarian talk openly to the marine a sight that he found most strange but he then saw the boys face and looked at the watchman.
"he is from amlon prime" as the watchman spoke Dante looked at him "he was the only survivor i could save."
as he spoke a sanguine guard walked forward holding an Angeles boltgun and gave it with an armour piece and to luminous.
as the blood angels left an inquisitor walked towards the lord watchman, "may i ask that you let the marine there serve as part of a kill team under the watch of the ordo xeno."
"ask him not me it is his choice to make."
after serving in the death watch with levitas he was promoted to champion when levitas became chapter master

After this he soon reached the rank of captain. After many years of service Derek feels that his destiny may soon be fulfilled. Meanwhile tendrils of the hive fleets are approaching holy Tera...
Only problem I would have with Derek is his 2/3 chance to return alive repeatedly. If he rolls multiple sixes, do the bonuses stack? Does the 1-2 result affect enemies? Does the ability work multiple times?
Arguing with some people is like playing chess with a pigeon. You can play the best chess in the world, but at the end of the day the pigeon will still knock all the pieces off the board and then gak all over it.

God Slayer: It was with this sword that Derek killed a Hive Tyrant. God Slayer is a two-handed, master crafted power weapon which adds +2 to his Strength (added to his profile).
Orbital barrage: Once per game choose one enemy unit. Place a large blast template over a model and roll to scatter like a normal orbital barrage weapon. All models underneath take D3 strength 10 AP 1 hits.
Durza wrote:Only problem I would have with Derek is his 2/3 chance to return alive repeatedly. If he rolls multiple sixes, do the bonuses stack? Does the 1-2 result affect enemies? Does the ability work multiple times?
Good point. Probably not stacking but can be used multiple times.

I assume it's standard infantry.
I have a S/T8 Gargantuan Creature that costs about the same, yet it's easier to kill than this, and won't do as much damage.
Ignoring it's a regular marine with T6, on top of it being REALLY hard to kill in the first place (2+ / 4+* with T6 and 4 wounds O-o) it has a 2/3 chance of gettting back up again and a 1/6 chance of getting up and being EVEN HARDER.
It also has an autohitting Str10 AP1 large blast attack, that's going to average out at 10 instant deathing wounds.
I feel this should be at least the 400-500pt mark, and an Apoc unit.
Warlord 'Ulk da Smashas' Waagh was attacking a planet defended by the IG and was being used by the Mechanicum to test out recently uncovered Archeotech. Seeing no other option to stop 'Ulk from overrunning the facility, the admechs used the tech against the orks....
It wasnt the blastiest bomb 'Ulk had seen da 'umies use, nor da loudest, but it was da most killy, too killy even. All da boys died they say, all dem 'umies too, but not 'Ulk, he got stronger, but not bigga, some say hez da strongest of da orkz, but da 'fing is, hez not da biggest, dat make 'em unorky, so some orkz tried to kill'em, but he krumped 'em. Wherevea he goes dis' appens, some say his WAAAGH! is so loud it makes da planet crack an' kills da orkz but'em, wif no chance da fight back even! Some even say Gork and Mork abandoned 'em and da ork dat kills 'em will get BOTH of 'em to make dem even bigga den Ghazgull 'emself! So hes a freeboota, other freebootas try to kill 'em, or fight with 'em so theyz can stab 'em in da back, but it dont work, so he killz dem or dey leave so he dont smash 'em.

Rules:
"'Ulk SMASH!" : all of 'Ulks attacks are Ap2
"Un-Orky": Any ork within 6"(even if they only move THROUGH THE RADIUS, this applies to models not whole units) of 'Ulk attacks him until they or he is killed.
"Madder 'Ulk gets, stronger 'Ulk gets!": For every wound on him, he gets an extra attack.
"Strongest there is!": Roll a D6 at the beginning of every turn, if the die is lower than the current turn number, 'Ulk decides he has proved his strength and heads toward to nearest table edge(if more than one edge is equi-distant, roll a scatter die and which ever its closest to, of the equi-distant edges) at the speed of 12" a turn any cover/terrain(he run through walls) is ignored, any units(friendly or enemy) he comes across attack him in melee(he attack back) but only orkz(friendly or enemy) stay stuck in, trying to be the one who kills him
"Thunder clap": he claps his hands hard and its a flamer template attack, str 8 Ap6
"Jump": he leaves the board, next turn he deepstrikes(mishaps on terrain scatter until it is off terrain) scatter into units moves the models to give 'Ulk room to land and everything within 6" gets hit with str4 Ap- attack. One use only.
"WorldBreaker": When 'Ulk calls a WAAGH! the effect is the same as Ghazgulls, except, the orkz fighting on his side are so terrified that he'll make the planet break and kill them without being able to fight, every ork unit not in melee at the end of the turn its called must take a morale check on the highest morale STAT in the squad(so no using the number of boys as Ld) EVERY. TURN. until they are in melee(any turn after the WAAGH! is called, any ork unit not in melee at the end of the turn takes a morale check) IMPORTANT: Orkz wo fail a morale check because of worldbreaker may take the same number of wounds(no allocation) as they failed the check by(wounds are NOT saveable!) because the orkz figure killing each other still counts as fighting
So hes strong as hell, but can hurt your army almost as much, if not more, than the enemy. Not sure what his points cost should be though, thoughts, opinons?

"Surrender and Die."
"To an Immortal, to one among a legion, honor and your word are all that matter" - Phaeron Orionis of the Brotherhood
I'm bored, so I made up a chapter (Salamanders successor Chapter) called the Forge Knights (or Forgeknights, or Knights of the Forge, I'm not sure which is better). This is the Chapter Master, Arakor.
Forge Knights: The Forge Knights are a rather successful successor Chapter of the Salamanders. Like the Salamanders, they have an unusually high amount of Techmarines, and each battle-brother is fully capable of not only repairing his own equipment, but more often than not finds ways to improve upon his armor. While the Chapter Master, Arakor, has no problem with this, the Adeptus Mechanicus did. To put it lightly, the Mechanicus lost their fudge when they discovered that both the Techmarines and Battle-brothers alike were violating their sacred armor and even their ships with unique adaptations. This created much conflict early in the Chapters history, as the stringent Mechanicus threated the imaginative Forge Knights. It was not until the Salamanders Chapter Master himself stepped in that the Mechanicus let up. Eventually, both Vulkan and Arakor managed to convince the Mechanicus to sanction the Forge Knights and their creations. However, this came at the cost of being required to have an Adeptus Mechanicus agent present on every ship in the Forge Knight fleet that contained Space Marines. While Arakor was hesitant to let his own Chapter be spied on, he saw that this was the only way to get the Mechanicus off of his back.
Since then, the ingenuity of the Forge Knights has proven to be a boon to their efforts in defeating the foes of mankind; specialized teleport homers, new armor, and new weapons have all been created by the Forge Knights, although much of them may never see the light of day (because even though the Mechanicus has agreed to sanction their creations, they are by no means required to allow the Forge Knights to use them). A few of the Forge Knights most brilliant minds have even attempted to modify the Gellar fields for use outside of the Warp, acting as a sort of push/pull mehcanism against warp anomalies that manifest themselves in realspace, allowing to Forge Knights incredible speed outside of Warp travel. This alone has gotten the attention of the Mechanicus, and if anything the Forge Knights ever create were to see usage through the Imperium, it just might be this.
The Forge Knights also tend to dismiss the "religion" of the Mechanicus, instead naming their technology using their own conventions mixed in with standard equipment terms. This is frowned upon, of course, but the Forge Knights give nary a damn.
Archknight Arakor, Chapter Master of the Forge Knights..........................................................190 points
Compared to every other Space Marine, Archknight Arakor is a wimp. Due to a genetic flaw, he is not as strong and nowhere near as tough as even untrained Space Marines. What he is, however, is fast. Absurdly fast. It is strange, then, that Arakor's weapons of choice are weapons of similar size and shape to Thunder Hammers, known to many as a "really heavy weapon" and not something a relative weakling like Arakor should be able to even pick up. However, this is where the upgrades come in: Arakor has attached Suspensors to each hammer, making them far lighter. It is only because of the suspensors that Arakor is able to wield his hammers with such brutal efficiency and speed.

WS:6 BS:5 S:3 T:3 W:3 I:8 A:4 Ld:10 Sv: 3+
Composition: 1 (Unique)
Unit Type: Infantry (Character)
Wargear: The Kings of Death, Voidforged Armor
The Kings of Death: The Kings of Death are two large hammers sheathed in a powerful energy field. They count as Relic Blades that roll an extra d3 when rolling to penetrate vehicle armor.
Voidforged Armor:This special suit of armor is thinner than normal power armor, but just as strong. it confers a 3+ Armor save. On its back is a small device that purpose produces an effect similar to (but not exactly like) a Grey Knight's Shrouding power. Any model or unit attempting to shoot at Arakor must do so with -1 to their BS. Units or model attempting to shoot at Arakor from a rage greater than 36" must do so with -2 to their BS. Arakors armor is also equipped with a miniature Teleport Homer.
Special Rules: Counter-Attack, Agile, Fleet, Move Through Cover, Independent Character, Combat Tactics, Chapter Tactics, And They Shall Know No Fear, Orbital Homer Drop
Agile:Arakor is an incredibly speedy individual, able to dodge blows, and on occasion bullets, with ease. Arakor has a 5+ Invulnerable save when being shot at and a 4+ Invulnerable save in close combat, neither of which can be removed or re-rolled (they represent him dodging blows, not an energy shield). in addition, Arakor counts as having Defensive Grenades and he counts Dangerous Terrain as Difficult Terrain. Also, due to his incredible speed, Arakor gains +2 Attacks when he charges or Counter-Attacks.
Chapter Tactics: If you include Arakor in your army, all of the units in your army lose the Combat Tactics special rule. Instead, all units (including Arakor) gain the Deep Strike special rule, and may Deep Strike even if the mission being played normally does not allow it.
Orbital Homer Drop: Since collateral damage means something to the Forge Knights, they have opted for a much more precise tactic: shooting teleport homers onto the surface of the planet and teleporting troops in. Once per turn, during the shooting phase, Arakor may command a Teleport Homer to be placed anywhere on the field. A Teleport Homer may not land within 4" of an enemy unit. Keep in mind that Teleport Homers must be on the field before their effects come into play. Arakor does not have to be on the field to activate this ability.
And you thought all Reserves armies were... actually, you probably didn't. You could start the game with no units on the field, fire a teleport homer somewhere advantageous, then have some men come in. What'cha think?

Wargear:
Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi, Yata no Kagami, Yasakani no Magatama, Infernus Pistol, Frag & Krak Grenades
Special Rules:
Independent Character, Fearless, Eternal Warrior, My Faith Is My Shield!, Solar Grace
Wargear:
Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi: This sacred blade predates the Adepta Sororitas, and indeed the Imperium itself. Rumours claim that the Emperor himself wielded this blade during the wars that unified Terra and brought about the Age of the Imperium. The Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi is a power weapon that allows the wielder to reroll all failed wounds and bestows the Rending USR on any attacks made with it. Any unsaved wounds taken from this weapon cause Instant Death.
Yata no Kagami: This highly polished armour acts as a beacon of sorts, shining in places where no light should exist, inspiring all who look upon it. This allows all units with the Shield of Faith special rule within 6" of Amaterasu's unit to increase the Invulnerable Save granted by Shield of Faith to 5+. Furthermore, by spending a Faith Point and passing the test, any unit with the Shield of Faith special rule within 12" of Amaterasu may increase this save to a 4+ for the rest of the game turn. This test is taken at the start of the owning player's turn.
Yasakani no Magatama: This bead is carved out of the same material as the Null Staves commonly carried by some Inquisitors. The bead is a polished black, with a greenish hue. No psychic powers affecting any unit within 6" of Amaterasu or which originates from within 6" of Amaterasu may be cast.
Infernus Pistol: Read the flippin' manual!
Special rules:
My Faith Is My Shield!: With her complete belief in the Emperor's protection, Amaterasu has no need for mundane protection. Any wound taken by Amaterasu can be nullified on a successful leadership test. Should a double one be rolled for this test, any enemy units within 6" of Amaterasu must immediately take a pinning test at -1 leadership as Amaterasu's faith manifests in a glowing halo of power.
Solar Grace: Amaterasu, and any unit she is attatched to, benefit from the Relentless USR. Furthermore, any enemy wishing to declare a charge against Amaterasu or her unit has to charge as if through difficult terrain. Note that this does not actually count as difficult terrain, so the enemy would still strike in normal initiative order, regardless of whether they are equipped with grenades or not. Furthermore, Amaterasu adds +1 to any Acts of Faith she or her unit attempts, just like a normal Canoness.

Farseer Bel-Annath is a special character in IA 11. He is an autarch/farseer and comes to 175 points. My last reply was given under the impression that this was the 175 point farseer felixander was mentioning when I replied with his abilities – now I realize that felix was likely adding up from a baseline farseer.
Dor-Fellion is basically a parody of this character with her own themes established, but is not more impressive than the original who has a lot more useful abilities. It’s like if a dark eldar player created a character that was just like Duke Silscus but changing his blast pistol and serpent’s bite for a splinter pistol and agonizer and dropping the contraband and low orbit raid rules while giving him some traits and equipment that doesn’t account for what was removed from the original character - the gyrinx is just a 5 point piece of wargear in the IA 11 corsair codex for example. Considering that Farseer Bel-Annath could be used in a game instead of Dor-Fellion, bringing everything she brings to the table and more at 175 points I think 200 points is pretty high request.
When pricing the siliscus inspired character do we say, “Well this is basically a toned down siliscus so he shouldn’t cost more than the original, or do we start at an archon, adding points for each trait till we have a point value higher than siliscus’s 150? Both are valid methods, but when the proposed character is mirrors an established character as Dor - Fellion mirrors Bel-Annath I think it is appropriate to use the established character's pricing as the baseline rather than a generic version.
@Exalted Pariah
I would leave the Ulk out of standard games and focus on making a particular scenario where the Ulk is facing an entire army by itself. That is how it usually is with the Hulk. A while ago I was thinking of doing something along those lines with a Godzilla inspired monster. That way you could have rules for how normal gunfire can effect the Ulk by distracting it while bigger guns are leveled at it, and so on; without worrying about the Ulk dominating a normal game.
Wargear: Artificer Armour, Frag and Krak grenades, Nero’s Bloodrazor (Pair of Lightning Claws), Jump Pack, Iron Halo
Special Rules:
And They Shall Know No Fear, Independent Character, Thirst for Destruction, Descent of Angels, Divine Intervention
Divine Intervention: As per Heroic Intervention. Atellus may either be attached to a vanguard veteran squad to allow the squad to do Heroic Intervention, or he may be attached to a squad with Jump Packs to use Heroic Intervention. Independent Characters that is attached to the squad with Atellus may also be allowed to use Heroic Intervention with the squad.
Thirst for Destruction: As per rule in the Blood Angels Codex. If Atellus does not get red thirst after rolls for Red Thirst have been done. On the 2nd turn and beyond, before any movement has been done, roll a d6, if it’s a 2 or lower, then he gets the effects of Red Thirst. The requirement to gain Red Thirst lowers by 1 (3 or lower by controlling player’s turn 3 and so on). If Astorath the Grim is deployed, then if he does not get Red Thirst after rolls have been done, then he gains Red Thirst on a 4 or lower on a D6. If Atellus was attached to any squad, they also get gain Red Thirst upon Atellus gaining Red Thirst. In addition, the squad he attached to gain Fleet.
Bloodrazor of Nero: Passed on from his previous Captain, these pair of Master-crafted Lightning Claws was given to him for him to lead his brothers to battle. In assault, whenever a 6 is rolled on wounding [deciding if rerolling failed wounds would trigger this or not], he deals two wounds instead of one.
Atellus’s legacy started back as a simple scout in the 10th Company during the late Horus Heresy. He was known among his brothers that he once broke his sniper rifle in half in response to traitor marines charging at him. He does not say much about his past, but the Heresy he said, “Was the worse time for me to be a Scout.”
As centuries pass on, he developed the preferences of charging head at his enemies while flying high in the skies to drive on his enemies. At times, he suffered the Red Thirst from time to time, without him realizing his fury and zeal came from the Red Thirst himself. At one point, Astorath directly visited him, and simply looked at his eyes, “I can tell if one has the black rage coming or not, but it’s not clear within your eyes. Let us hope it does not come soon.” Not sure of what Astorath said to him, he put aside his doubts and don his armor and readied his weapons.
In a battle against the World Bearers, Atellus was assigned to lead a vanguard squad to do an intervention to support the 2nd company captain and his brothers. Upon arriving to the ground, he witnesses the captain dying to the chaos lord by his foul warped weapon. As the Captain arrived to the ground lifeless, Atellus quickly called the charge to destroy the Chaos Lord. Faced with the additional wave of Berzerkers, the vanguards attempted to ignore them, but they were cut down by the relentless Chainaxes hitting everywhere. Only Atellus was able to go through the wave of Berzerkers and charged at the Chaos Lord. The both the Lord and Atellus fought at the same time, dealing blows to each other. They both parried almost every attack, except for the last. Upon the last, the Lord smiled in frenzy, but realized that Atellus was alive, and saw his demise of Atellus’s lightning claws going through him, and the warp took the lord away from this world. As for Atellus, he fell after the body disappearing to the warp.
After the battle, Astorath visits Atellus again, “I see into your eyes, and I still can’t see the black rage in your eyes. Why is that?” Astorath leaves the room, making Atellus still wonder if the Black Rage is waiting. After his recovery, he was given the honour to be the Captain of the 2nd Company, and granted lightning claws from the lost past.
