Gladius Vex is the current Brass Angels chapter master. He is a master tactician and ruthless fighter often seen at the forefront of his army. It is his duty to find where the fighting is thickest and slaughter the most enemy Generals as possible, as payment for the Brass Angels crimes. He does this with the sacred weapon, the Burning Chalice, in the hopes that someday the horrors of the Raxus Heresy may be forgotten.

Wargear: Arfificer Armor, Frag and Krak grenades, The Burning Chalice*, Inferno Pistol, Iron Halo
Special Rules: And They Shall Know No Fear, Zealous Vigour**, Combat Tactics, Orbital Bombardment

*The Burning Chalice is a huge eternally flaming sword locked with a sacred chain to the current Brass Angels chapter master's arm. It will continue to flicker with a zealous fire until the day when Brass Angels heresy has been atoned for.
The Burning Chalice: Strength- user +1, AP- 2, Special Rules- Instant Death

**Zealous Vigour- So angered is he by the betrayal of former Chapter Master Wenton Marx, and the tide of endless crusades that lies in front of him, Gladius will not stop until his quest is finished and the Brass Angels may once again find peace in the Emperor's light.
When Gladius would lose his last wound, roll a d6, on a 4+ he regains it and stays in the fight. The next time he loses it, he regains the wound on a 5+, and then a 6+ the next time. After he has lost his last wound three times, he will die if he loses it again, his zealous vigour finally leaving him.

Oh man, that layout hurts my eyes....
Try this one:


My main question would be - is he meant to just die if he fails that 4+ / 5+ / 6+, or is he meant to fail the 4+, then roll for the 5+, and if fails that, roll for the 6+, then dead?
My next question would be - why randomly I6 and +1A?

THEN - Costing:
Total = 230.

If he IS meant to be an IC, the Special Rules should read like this:

And he should be 240pts.

The problems there, coming from the layout and a few minor clarification issues imo... it's not that bad a character at the end of the day, and only slightly undercosted.

In my continuing quest to try and convert people to using a clear cut, codex-y layout, and to aid in the balancing of units - Ovion out!

Equipment:
Lions’ Shards, Angels’ Wing, Hammer of Purity, Digital Laser array
Lions’ Shards – After the great battle in the holy monastery on Caliban
where Lion’el Jonson suffered his mortal wound from the fallen traitor
Luther several shards from the great Primarch’s armor were all that were
found. These were masterly crafted into a suit of terminator armor that
gives increased statistics (already included in the above profile.)
Angels’ Wing - Angels’ wing is an electrified storm shield designed to be
particularly effective versus power weapons harnessing an opposite energy to
punish anyone who strikes the shield with one. Angels’ wing is a storm
shield, in addition when Tiberius knight makes a success full invulnerable
save roll from a power weapon, fist, or equivalent in close combat the
attacking model suffers a strength 5 hit as the shield deflects the blow.
Hammer of Purity - The hammer of purity was a gift from an unknown member of
the inner circle of the Dark Angels. It is a master crafted Thunder hammer
that grants Tiberius Knight preferred enemy.
Digital Laser array - The digital laser array is an artifact of unknown
origin that is connected into the Lions’ shards that allows Tiberius Knight
to fire a highly dense laser by simply looking in a direction and nodding
his head.
Range Strength Ap Type

Special Rules:
Eternal Warrior, Prefered enemy, Feel no pain, Angel’s Doctrine, Spirit of
the Rock

Angel’s Doctrine - As a former member of the Dark Angel’s Inner Circle
Tiberius Knight follows both a mix of the Dark angels combat doctrine and
the Codex marines doctrine like the Angels close friends the Imperial fists.
An army including Tiberius knight may take Deathwing Terminator squads as
troops, and space marine bike squads as troops. In addition to this Due to
the Angels of Purities focus on the most advanced technology all Deathwing
terminator squads and space marine bike squads in Tiberius’sarmy follow the
rules for “Special issue ammunition” as detailed in the Codex Space Marine
under the Sternguard verterans.

Spirit of the Rock – Named in reverence of the terrible warp storm that
ripped Caliban into two turning the planet into “The Rock”, Tiberius
performs a series of circular swings with the dreaded Hammer of Purity that
can take foes down 10 fold. Instead of performing his regular attacks
Tiberius may perform a Spirit of the Rock attack. He may perform 1 attack
on all enemy models within 2 inches of him.

An IC vehicle? Nope! Take it out. you can't have him hiding behind a Boyz screen if he's gonna be a walker. Plus then he could Challenge stuff and that's just super unfair.

195-205


How many attacks does he have? And I think you should give him +1 WS for being a special Dred.

well, any properly-armed Necron lord will eat that in a challenge...

Yeah - I would make it just a Character like Bjorn and such, rather than an IC and you're missing an I value.

Potentially give it the option of a retinue of some sort if you want him in a squad.

Otherwise, to me, he looks generally fine.

And here's a template you can use to make it look prettier and help ensure you don't miss anything

Well, considering the 6th changes... I think he'd be able to be picked out. Maybe add a Special Rule about how big 'e is, that a unit firing at him may allocate up to half their shots at him, and his LoS! is 3+, or something.

Also, "'ole!" is actually weaker than a basic Mek's rule, at least in that, to get the 4+, he cannot Move or Assault, which Mek's Tools don't prevent.

Thank you Ovion!
Gladius now looks like this-

Army: Space Marines
BG: Gladius Vex is the current Brass Angels chapter master. He is a master tactician and ruthless fighter often seen at the forefront of his army. It is his duty to find where the fighting is thickest and slaughter the most enemy Generals as possible, as payment for the Brass Angels crimes. He does this with the sacred weapon, the Burning Chalice, in the hopes that someday the horrors of the Raxus Heresy may be forgotten.

FO: HQ

The Burning Chalice:
The Burning Chalice is a huge eternally flaming sword locked with a sacred chain to the current Brass Angels chapter master's arm.
It will continue to flicker with a zealous fire until the day when Brass Angels heresy has been atoned for.
The Burning Chalice is a weapon with the following profile:
Range--, Str-User+1, AP-2, Type-Melee, Instant Death

Zealous Vigour:
So angered is he by the betrayal of former Chapter Master Wenton Marx, and the tide of endless crusades that lies in front of him, Gladius will not stop until his quest is finished and the Brass Angels may once again find peace in the Emperor's light.
Gladius gets +1 Attacks, included in profile.
When Gladius would lose his last wound, roll a d6, on a 4+ he regains it and stays in the fight.
The next time he would lose it, he regains the wound on a 5+, and then a 6+ the next time.
The next time he would lose his last wound, he falls his zealous vigour finally leaving him.

By the way, what I mean't was that the first time his wounds drop to zero, you roll a d6, on a 4+ he stays in the fight with one wound and if by chance he is not wounded again in the battle, he won't die.
If his wounds drop to zero he has to roll the 5+ and continues
The third time his wounds drop to zero he has to roll the 6+, if he fails he is dead for good.

The Initiative wasn't thought out and is back to 5, and the extra Attack comes from his Zealous Vigour.

Alright - my initial reaction is what is its Initiative? and that 24" isn't particularly short ranged.

Anyhoo - costing:
Total: 330

If it's I4, it gets to stay 330.

Yeah... that thing is stupidly over powered. Able to fire 12 shots mixed between up to 5 targets in a single turn AND has Skyfire? OH and that shooting can be used as Interceptor? So you can fire 8 shots at one target and 4 more between 4 other targets twin linked at BS5?

Also, I personally hope you'll only post characters you plan on using. You've posted something like 6 characters in the past 2 days and the majority of them are not actually Unique as the thread states. And the majority of the things you post are very over-powered.

You seem to really like making characters from the fluff and maybe you'd be better off starting another thread for that. I'd really like to see this thread stay on track of unique homebrew characters that people want to use but need some opinions on balancing, fluffing, and crunching their characters. There are a lot of people who are posting here looking for help and clogging up with characters you have no intention of using isn't helping.

That's simply my opinion and while it's not meant to be rude, it's sincere.

1. you mean aura of dark glory, not icon.
2. exchanging ccws for daemonblades on the sergeants is too good, unless you make it a 30 point option or thereabouts
3. Tu'shan's hammer doesnt need 'strikes at S10 AP2. He is S5 with a thunder hammer. He already strikes at S10 AP2. just say master-crafted thunder hammer
also before i forget. Daemonblades? do you mean the Grey Knights ones?

Rogue Trader Edalaz Najon

Born of royalty of the Najon dynasty, Edalaz carries with her a legacy of Imperial expansionism her family is famous for. Trade and wealth are synonymous with power and military strength to Edalaz, as it is her profession to gain the means necessary to raise armies for the Imperium. Though not an Inquisitor herself, she wields an almost equal power over entire swathes of the Imperium. It is the power of economics, with sanctions and tariffs used as her weapons of peace to prevent war in the many destabilized regions of the Imperium, while promoting the growth of industry and armies in the civilized regions. When diplomacy fails however, as it often does in a time of near constant strife, Edalaz is sworn to protect the Imperium at all costs. While largely enjoying a life of luxury, Edalaz's skills and extensive knowledge has also warranted her the duty of Xenohunter, taking her far and beyond her comfortable spheres of influence among the aristocracy she was born into. Though if she must depart from her flagship, an Emperor Class Battleship, the Mizzarii, it is with the full support of her extensive charter of diplomatic - assets - as she refers to them.

Allied Detachment - Edalaz must always be taken as an Allied HQ choice in the force organization and may ally with any faction other than Tyranids, Orks, and Necrons. She is battle brothers with all IoM forces, and only a desperate ally to the forces of Chaos - the heretic!


Points - 170

Ws - 4, Bs - 4, S - 3, T - 3, W - 2, A - 2, I - 3, Ld - 9, Sv - 4+

Weapons - Darknova Assault Rifle, Darknova Pistol, and Powersword.

Baron's Darknova Assault Rifle - R: 24" - Str 5 ap 3 - Assault 3 - Darknova*

Darknova Pistol - Str 5 ap 3 pistol

Darknova - Born of arcane technology, these weapons utilize dark matter that binds the universe together. Not much is understood of these weapons, though their destructive power is truly awe inspiring even though they pose incredible danger to those that use them, even moreso than Plasma technology. These weapons function by stripping away the fabric of reality, creating miniature black holes on impact that utterly destroy their targets as their mass touches an event horizon of crushing proportions. Should the fail safes of the mechanism rupture, and the dark matter be released, antimatter and other particles of energy are flung in every direction before a devastating implosion of real space crushes everything within the null zone. Upon rolling a double 1 on any roll to hit the weapon is automatically destroyed as is any model within 6 inches. No armor or invulnerable saves of any kind are allowed - the universe itself splits and weeps for your loss before the hole slowly mends back together.

Equipment - Carapace Armor

Frag and Krak grenades

Triangulation Auspex - Confers the "Target Marked" special rule.

Chronoshifter - A powerful device that allows it's controller to bend time and space around it. Edalaz may move an additional D6 during the movement phase and reroll a single dice per turn - the final result stands.

Special Rules

Diplomat - If your army includes Edalaz, it may designate a single unit to fire upon any enemy unit within range after both sides have deployed, but before any moves are made. If there is another Edalaz, these shots are resolved simultaneously.

Naval Support - Edalaz is never without her trusted Battleship, the Mizzarii. She is considered a Master of Ordinance from the Imperial Guard Codex with the following exceptions:

Target marked: She may move and call in ordinance on the same turn - but still may not shoot normally if she hails her ship. Though, if she moves, she may only call in one strike at a time. If she remains stationary during the movement phase, she may call in all of her ordinance. If she is slain, the ability to call in strikes is lost with her.

She may outfit the Mizzarii to fire in ordinance barrages of up to 3 additional cannons at 40 points each.
In addition, she may purchase (in any combination) the following types of ordinance:

70 Points - Lance Strike: Str 10 Ap 1 Ordnance Blast
80 Points - Melta torpedo: Str 8 Ap 3 Ordnance Blast; 2d6 Armor Pen.
65 Points - Plasma Warheads: Str 7 Ap 2 Ignores cover
80 Points - Darknova Blaster - Str 9 Ap 3 Skyfire - Darknova*

In battles of giant proportions - 2,000 points or greater - the entire battery may be replaced by a single twin-linked Volcano Cannon for 150 points.

@CalasTyphon216: Yes, Badane's Daemonblade would function as per the ones in the GK Codex.

Quixos the Great, Lord Inquisitor of the Ordos Malleus, Heretic Diabolus

Quixos was once the greatest daemon hunter in the Inquisition, until a shard of daemonclaw lodged itself in his heart. Corrupted and insane, he attempted to build a replica of the Cadian pylons to destroy the Eye of Terror. During the hunt for Quixos, Eisenhorn, Ricci and Grumman, all powerful Inquisitors, walked into Quixos' chamber, where he slew Ricci and Grumman in 2 blows. Eisenhorn ended him on the shattered length of Barbarisator, his last words being a psychic scream, ironically denouncing his slayer as 'Heretic!'. His ashes were launched into a sun.

^ Truth.

Why not make him a Sergeant upgrade for 25 points, BS 4 and LD9? Or something else special like that

Make him an upgrade, give him Str4 ( which is roughly twice as strong as Str3) to account for being able to carry the Autocannon, and Look Out Sir (2+) (though not a character) which would fit nicely with his fluff.

Rogue Trader Edalaz Najon

Spoiler:

Born of royalty of the Najon dynasty, Edalaz carries with her a legacy of Imperial expansionism her family is famous for. Trade and wealth are synonymous with power and military strength to Edalaz, as it is her profession to gain the means necessary to raise armies for the Imperium. Though not an Inquisitor herself, she wields an almost equal power over entire swathes of the Imperium. It is the power of economics, with sanctions and tariffs used as her weapons of peace to prevent war in the many destabilized regions of the Imperium, while promoting the growth of industry and armies in the civilized regions. When diplomacy fails however, as it often does in a time of near constant strife, Edalaz is sworn to protect the Imperium at all costs. While largely enjoying a life of luxury, Edalaz's skills and extensive knowledge has also warranted her the duty of Xenohunter, taking her far and beyond her comfortable spheres of influence among the aristocracy she was born into. Though if she must depart from her flagship, an Emperor Class Battleship, the Mizzarii, it is with the full support of her extensive charter of diplomatic - assets - as she refers to them.

Allied Detachment - Edalaz must always be taken as an Allied HQ choice in the force organization and may ally with any faction other than Tyranids, Orks, and Necrons. She is battle brothers with all IoM forces, and only a desperate ally to the forces of Chaos - the heretic!


Points - 170

Ws - 4, Bs - 4, S - 3, T - 3, W - 2, A - 2, I - 3, Ld - 9, Sv - 4+

Weapons - Darknova Assault Rifle, Darknova Pistol, and Powersword.

Baron's Darknova Assault Rifle - R: 24" - Str 5 ap 3 - Assault 3 - Darknova*

Darknova Pistol - Str 5 ap 3 pistol

Darknova - Born of arcane technology, these weapons utilize dark matter that binds the universe together. Not much is understood of these weapons, though their destructive power is truly awe inspiring even though they pose incredible danger to those that use them, even moreso than Plasma technology. These weapons function by stripping away the fabric of reality, creating miniature black holes on impact that utterly destroy their targets as their mass touches an event horizon of crushing proportions. Should the fail safes of the mechanism rupture, and the dark matter be released, antimatter and other particles of energy are flung in every direction before a devastating implosion of real space crushes everything within the null zone. Upon rolling a double 1 on any roll to hit the weapon is automatically destroyed as is any model within 6 inches. No armor or invulnerable saves of any kind are allowed - the universe itself splits and weeps for your loss before the hole slowly mends back together.

Equipment - Carapace Armor

Frag and Krak grenades

Triangulation Auspex - Confers the "Target Marked" special rule.

Chronoshifter - A powerful device that allows it's controller to bend time and space around it. Edalaz may move an additional D6 during the movement phase and reroll a single dice per turn - the final result stands.

Special Rules

Diplomat - If your army includes Edalaz, it may designate a single unit to fire upon any enemy unit within range after both sides have deployed, but before any moves are made. If there is another Edalaz, these shots are resolved simultaneously.

Naval Support - Edalaz is never without her trusted Battleship, the Mizzarii. She is considered a Master of Ordinance from the Imperial Guard Codex with the following exceptions:

Target marked: She may move and call in ordinance on the same turn - but still may not shoot normally if she hails her ship. Though, if she moves, she may only call in one strike at a time. If she remains stationary during the movement phase, she may call in all of her ordinance. If she is slain, the ability to call in strikes is lost with her.

She may outfit the Mizzarii to fire in ordinance barrages of up to 3 additional cannons at 40 points each.
In addition, she may purchase (in any combination) the following types of ordinance:

70 Points - Lance Strike: Str 10 Ap 1 Ordnance Blast
80 Points - Melta torpedo: Str 8 Ap 3 Ordnance Blast; 2d6 Armor Pen.
65 Points - Plasma Warheads: Str 7 Ap 2 Ignores cover
80 Points - Darknova Blaster - Str 9 Ap 3 Skyfire - Darknova*

In battles of giant proportions - 2,000 points or greater - the entire battery may be replaced by a single twin-linked Volcano Cannon for 150 points.

This guy looks incredibly overloaded... I'll do a proper costing and review in a minute.

I wasn't expecting a multi-quote from people across the world. he was supposed to be a joke (hence the ) and a model I intended to make, how hard could it be to make a slightly tall and bulky guardsman? he's just meant to represent the local badass who was well known in his local slum tavern boxing ring. he can break a Nobz jaw but is not big enough to take the Nob down, he carries a pack of medical supplies to keep himself slipping into the darkness when wounded and he relies on his squad leader for courage. his squad mates might see a man who has survived crippling punishment but he just had enough muscle and armor to stop or redirect hits to his vitals on many occasions. as far as stories go, his will end long before any other hero on this thread who isn't already doomed. though his cannon will serve the Imperial Guard for a long time and will outlive him and everyone who knew him.

Grim / Dark enough or not?
