My previous one was 2+, 2++, W4, and a possible 4+ FNP. The Mek's powerful, I'll give him that, so I'd say no less than 275 pts.

It's not on a page, it's an official GW unit.

Ever heard of the GW Chaos Doomsday Device? I ain't got the stats but it was an AV14 all around box that isn't allowed to move and rolls for random results of what it should do each turn.

Ha, I had not, but I've found The Rules Here
Now checking my bitz box for parts to make it, and ordering a pony.

Well, Stat wise lets start with a veteran. 25. +25 for +1 ws and W, +15 for the 2+, +15 for Fearless, +20 for the Death Blade, +30 for bio-injectors. 130. So you were a little over points wise

Oh hush. I was thinking of giving him Stubborn, but Fearless won out, based on simply passing things being awful easy to deal with. Thanks for the breakdown, though. I'll likely price him at 140, just to smooth over any friendly disagreements.

just one of the things that makes me smile and your right it is better and overcosting is better than undercosting as we say

I've just been working on the fluff for my army, and came up with this guy. I'd like to hear people's opinions.

The fluff:
Zerathian Guardsmen are proud but humble men; as such, little is known about their outstanding deeds. Some stories simply cannot be suppressed, however; such is the story of Master Sergeant Cornelius “Lefty” McCracken. During a skirmish with Orks in the Ryza warzone, MSgt. McCracken lost his hand when a nearby Shokk Attack gun exploded. Before the wound could even begin to bleed, McCracken picked up a piece of red hot shrapnel and cauterized the wound. In spite of the immense pain, he picked up his power sword and continued to fight, inspiring his men and driving fear into the hearts of the Orks. Not long after, the Orks retreated, believing McCracken to be some sort of inhuman super soldier. Word spread amongst the Waaagh!, and from that point on, Orks tended to give a wide berth to any Guardsman in Zerathian camouflage... especially if he had only one hand.

The crunch:
Master Sergeant Cornelius "Lefty" McCracken............................................50 points
One Veteran Squad in your army may replace its Veteran Sergeant with Master Sergeant "Lefty" McCracken.

I don't know why exactly, but I rather like this character...
So - help and advice!

Orks don't really get scared, and if something is killy, that's just more fun!
They may retreat, but mostly to get more boys.
Also, wouldn't he just get a bionic replacement after the battle?
The Bionic replacement would explain the +1 Strength too.
Causing Fear in orks, simply by being that 'killy' that the weaker ones are backing off temporarily to let the bigger boyz deal with it is probably fine.

I would give him a Laspistol, aswell as his Power Sword, then I'd give him Hatred (Orks) and Preferred Enemy (Orks).
And because I feel nice - Shiny unit layout / templatey thing.

I'm assuming that having to do everything with one hand might increase the strength in that arm. As for ATSKNF, I was drawing from the bit in the fluff where his men were inspired by his continued fighting. It was a toss-up between Fearless and ATSKNF, but Fearless seemed (to me) a little OP and/or out of character for IG.

Orks wouldn't be afraid of him per se, but since they believe him to be some sort of inhuman super soldier, it would certainly cause them to think twice.

As for a bionic implant, I kinda feel like he'd refuse it simply because he'd feel he doesn't need it to get the job done.

I also considered giving him a shooting weapon as well as his power weapon and making it to where he couldn't use both in the same round or something, but I kinda liked the idea of him being a strictly CC BAMF. Sorta that whole "drive me closer so I can kill them with my sword" attitude.

Capitan of the Ice Drakes 4th Company during their campaign around the Eye of Terror, liberating dozens of worlds from chaos control. It was during a ground assault on a corrupted Hiveworld in the Nemesis sub-sector that their strike cruiser Divine Redemption was shot out of low orbit, and all remaining munitions and marines were evacuated via Drop Pod. Stuck fighting a groundwar without hope of reinforcement the company fought on all the harder against the cultists. It was during this campaign that Capitan Drakassi was felled by an ambush. His soldiers fought to reclaim his body, finding him in a comatose state activated by his sus-an membrane. Working feverishly for days the company apothecary was unable to bring him out of it. The company techmarine was the one who finally came up with the idea of interring him in the chapters most ancient relic, the Iron Carapace, a Dreadnought carapace designed to wreck havoc in close quarters. Upon his interment he resumed command of the company in these most dire of situations, though he leads with vengeance and hatred against his enemies, recklessly attacking anything within arms reach.

Azkoth Vryce, Lord Sorcerer of the Thousand Sons
“The treachery of the Imperium shall not be forgotten. With their last breath, they shall bear witness to the end of days.”

The Council of Nikea. The destruction of Prospero. Incalculable knowledge lost. Constant reminders of the Emperor’s treachery. That he would send the Space Wolves against other Astartes is proof of his arrogance and false claim of rulership! Azkoth will never forgive these actions and has dedicated his service to Tzeentch with the promise that he and the Thousand Sons shall seek vengeance for their crimes. He has vowed to show the Imperium the folly of their ignorance and the price of their treachery.

Forced to seek safety during the destruction of Prospero, their Primarch, Magnus, bent the powers of the empyrean to his will and transported them to the Planet of the Sorcerers. Deep in the Eye of Terror, the mutating powers of the Warp soon began to takes its toll on the Legion. The horror Azkoth felt at watching his brethren become grotesque versions of their former selves was immense. The other Sorcerers had already implored Magnus to help them stop the rampant mutations, but their pleas fell upon deaf ears.

Ahriman, the Chief Librarian begun taking matters into his own hands. He had pored over his Primarch’s rescued cache of lore and had devised a way to stop the mutation. Ahriman would need all the help he could get, so he called upon all the sorcerers to aid him in his plan. Azkoth and many others agreed, but others simply refused. So it was that Ahriman, Azkoth and several of the most powerful sorcerers of the legion wove a spell that Ahriman had created himself – The Rubric of Ahriman. The spell was successful, though in a way none could forsee. Magnus, enraged, banished Ahriman from the Planet of Sorcerers along with the others who assisted.

For a time, Azkoth wandered the Eye, offering his power and warhost for rewards of lost artefacts and heretical lore; sometimes just taking what he wanted by force. Many times a cult leader would find himself simply stripped of his property – or his life – after making a deal with Azkoth. His quest for vengeance propelled him to plan well executed raids into realspace, forcing a response from loyal Astartes. Sectors rumored to be patrolled by the Space Wolves would be primary targets.

Azkoth’s power and influence within the banished Thousand Sons grew over time, and with his patron God as well. He struck many pacts with powerful Daemons, learning sorceries and knowledge that would blast lesser minds into insanity. He waged war for two centuries in the Lokia system, slaughtering millions in the search for the rumored Dolmen Gates, using an ancient Crone World for his base of operations.

The Eldar, furious at the taint of Chaos marring one of their ancient homeworlds, mustered a force to scour the planet clean. Tzeentch had seen this possible path and warned Azkoth of the coming Eldar. Azkoth ambushed the Eldar as they emerged from a hidden Webway portal beneath the planet’s surface. After the slaughter, Azkoth plucked the soul stones from the corpses of the Farseers and two Warlocks and later presented them as his personal gifts to Tzeentch. Tzeentch rewarded him with his personal Sigil, glorifying Azkoth as one of his most exalted Champions.

Azkoth, realizing now that the Dolmen Gates were unnecessary, notified Ahriman of the Webway portal and increased his presence on the planet. He built a large temple to Tzeentch and soon found cultists and other Chaos Marines loyal to Tzeentch flocking to the planet. Azkoth followed Ahriman into the Webway and helped him bring battle to the Eldar within, while simultaneously seeking entrance to the Black Library. They were repelled at great cost to the Eldar and after being expelled from the Webway, the Eldar destroyed it from within, sealing off the portal. Enraged, Ahriman bade Azkoth to continue his pogrom in the system and find the Dolmen Gates.

It was during one of the final battles in the sector that Azkoth was able to extract the promised vengeance from the Space Wolves. His warband, having beat back an offensive launched to push them off Volpe IX, and tracked the survivors back to their staging area.

The Wolves were badly beaten, having taken severe casualties during the failed offensive. When Azkoth found the survivors, there was perhaps half a company of Wolves, led by four Rune Priests. Azkoth was furious that the same Legion had begun using the same powers the Emperor himself forbade! The very same Legion decried him and his kind sorcerers and destroyed his home planet! He gathered his allies to him devising a devious plan. Under the cover of night, Azkoth’s force surrounded the camp and launched their assault. The Space Wolves fought back valiantly, but were no match for the full strength force arrayed against them.

Azkoth ordered the Priests be left alive, but the rest of the company were to be slaughtered. Their corpses were skinned.

Producing a scroll he obtained in the Eye of Terror, Azkoth wove a spell which bound the skins together to make a large cauldron. As the last stitch slid home, he placed his force axe within the newly procured vessel, and strung the Rune Priests upside down over the cauldron.

Incanting a rite he learned from a Lord of Change, Azkoth slit the throats of the Priests, allowing their blood to fill the cauldron. As the last of their lifeblood bathed his axe, and their souls departed, he finished the ancient Rite of Binding. The force axe consumed the blood of the Priests and absorbed their souls, trapping them for eternity.
Driven insane by their imprisonment, they howl and shriek their frustration and anger, and search for any escape from their cage. The axe, now given sentience by the maddened souls that inhabit it, now seeks other powerful souls to trap within it, damning them to the same fate.

Azkoth considers his imbued weapon to be the ultimate trophy, and to this day he laughs at the torment inflicted on the souls bound inside.

A fitting payment for their treachery.

Tzeentch rewarded him with his personal Sigil, glorifying Azkoth as one of his most exalted Champions.

Azkoth, realizing now that the Dolmen Gates were unnecessary, notified Ahriman of the Webway portal and increased his presence on the planet. He built a large temple to Tzeentch and soon found cultists and other Chaos Marines loyal to Tzeentch flocking to the planet. Azkoth followed Ahriman into the Webway and helped him bring battle to the Eldar within, while simultaneously seeking entrance to the Black Library. They were repelled at great cost to the Eldar and after being expelled from the Webway, the Eldar destroyed it from within, sealing off the portal. Enraged, Ahriman bade Azkoth to continue his pogrom in the system and find the Dolmen Gates.

It was during one of the final battles in the sector that Azkoth was able to extract the promised vengeance from the Space Wolves. His warband, having beat back an offensive launched to push them off Volpe IX, and tracked the survivors back to their staging area.

The Wolves were badly beaten, having taken severe casualties during the failed offensive. When Azkoth found the survivors, there was perhaps half a company of Wolves, led by four Rune Priests. Azkoth was furious that the same Legion had begun using the same powers the Emperor himself forbade! The very same Legion decried him and his kind sorcerers and destroyed his home planet! He gathered his allies to him devising a devious plan. Under the cover of night, Azkoth’s force surrounded the camp and launched their assault. The Space Wolves fought back valiantly, but were no match for the full strength force arrayed against them.

Azkoth ordered the Priests be left alive, but the rest of the company were to be slaughtered. Their corpses were skinned.

Producing a scroll he obtained in the Eye of Terror, Azkoth wove a spell which bound the skins together to make a large cauldron. As the last stitch slid home, he placed his force axe within the newly procured vessel, and strung the Rune Priests upside down over the cauldron.

Incanting a rite he learned from a Lord of Change, Azkoth slit the throats of the Priests, allowing their blood to fill the cauldron. As the last of their lifeblood bathed his axe, and their souls departed, he finished the ancient Rite of Binding. The force axe consumed the blood of the Priests and absorbed their souls, trapping them for eternity.
Driven insane by their imprisonment, they howl and shriek their frustration and anger, and search for any escape from their cage. The axe, now given sentience by the maddened souls that inhabit it, now seeks other powerful souls to trap within it, damning them to the same fate.

Azkoth considers his imbued weapon to be the ultimate trophy, and to this day he laughs at the torment inflicted on the souls bound inside.

A fitting payment for their treachery.

Azkoth Vryce, Lord Sorcerer of the Thousand Sons
“The treachery of the Imperium shall not be forgotten. With their last breath, they shall bear witness to the end of days.”

The Council of Nikea. The destruction of Prospero. Incalculable knowledge lost. Constant reminders of the Emperor’s treachery. That he would send the Space Wolves against other Astartes is proof of his arrogance and false claim of rulership! Azkoth will never forgive these actions and has dedicated his service to Tzeentch with the promise that he and the Thousand Sons shall seek vengeance for their crimes. He has vowed to show the Imperium the folly of their ignorance and the price of their treachery.

Forced to seek safety during the destruction of Prospero, their Primarch, Magnus, bent the powers of the empyrean to his will and transported them to the Planet of the Sorcerers. Deep in the Eye of Terror, the mutating powers of the Warp soon began to takes its toll on the Legion. The horror Azkoth felt at watching his brethren become grotesque versions of their former selves was immense. The other Sorcerers had already implored Magnus to help them stop the rampant mutations, but their pleas fell upon deaf ears.

Ahriman, the Chief Librarian begun taking matters into his own hands. He had pored over his Primarch’s rescued cache of lore and had devised a way to stop the mutation. Ahriman would need all the help he could get, so he called upon all the sorcerers to aid him in his plan. Azkoth and many others agreed, but others simply refused. So it was that Ahriman, Azkoth and several of the most powerful sorcerers of the legion wove a spell that Ahriman had created himself – The Rubric of Ahriman. The spell was successful, though in a way none could forsee. Magnus, enraged, banished Ahriman from the Planet of Sorcerers along with the others who assisted.

For a time, Azkoth wandered the Eye, offering his power and warhost for rewards of lost artefacts and heretical lore; sometimes just taking what he wanted by force. Many times a cult leader would find himself simply stripped of his property – or his life – after making a deal with Azkoth. His quest for vengeance propelled him to plan well executed raids into realspace, forcing a response from loyal Astartes. Sectors rumored to be patrolled by the Space Wolves would be primary targets.

Azkoth’s power and influence within the banished Thousand Sons grew over time, and with his patron God as well. He struck many pacts with powerful Daemons, learning sorceries and knowledge that would blast lesser minds into insanity. He waged war for two centuries in the Lokia system, slaughtering millions in the search for the rumored Dolmen Gates, using an ancient Crone World for his base of operations.

The Eldar, furious at the taint of Chaos marring one of their ancient homeworlds, mustered a force to scour the planet clean. Tzeentch had seen this possible path and warned Azkoth of the coming Eldar. Azkoth ambushed the Eldar as they emerged from a hidden Webway portal beneath the planet’s surface. After the slaughter, Azkoth plucked the soul stones from the corpses of the Farseers and two Warlocks and later presented them as his personal gifts to Tzeentch.

Now THAT is what I call backstory. I love it. As for the character, seems a little OP for 205, making 1k Sons troops, being a psyker lvl 3, the axe and inferno bolts. But its a GREAT character. Maybe 215 or 220? Again, really like the background.

Considering that char is priced directly out of the CSM book & MoT on a sorc always turns TS's into troops, I'd honestly say he's right on. Just his wargear along w/ base price is 175 (again, priced right out of the CSM codex) and I basically made his weapon the same price as the Axe of Blind Fury.

The Howling Axe is worth a bit more than the Axe of Blind Fury.
But to confirm pricing:Total: 240
So you're a little under at 205. oops forgot Fearless and Sigil of Corruption
Total 275
So a LOT under at 205.
But then the Termi Armour gets to be a lil cheaper.

Giving him the Terminator Armour as-is at +25pts is fine because the inferno bolts are already included in the original profile, but I would not give the option for the combi-weapons.

Haha better to over estimate I suppose, captain Cortez of the crimson fists already has a ton of fluff on him, supposedly one of.the toughest space marines ever to live.

I like to keep things simple, so a master crafted power fist, a 3+ invulnerable ( he was infact the first model to ever have a 3+ inv in 3rd), it will not die and eternal warrior, he is a crimson fist so is stubborn, he was never.portrayed as being any more fearless than a run of the mill space marine or a particularly great leader, but was hard as nails.

Don't know much of the CF fluff, sorry! and your right on both accounts. Better to overestimate and he should NOT be better than the Chapter Master.

The horror Azkoth felt at watching his brethren become grotesque versions of their former selves was immense. The other Sorcerers had already implored Magnus to help them stop the rampant mutations, but their pleas fell upon deaf ears.

Ahriman, the Chief Librarian begun taking matters into his own hands. He had pored over his Primarch’s rescued cache of lore and had devised a way to stop the mutation. Ahriman would need all the help he could get, so he called upon all the sorcerers to aid him in his plan. Azkoth and many others agreed, but others simply refused. So it was that Ahriman, Azkoth and several of the most powerful sorcerers of the legion wove a spell that Ahriman had created himself – The Rubric of Ahriman. The spell was successful, though in a way none could forsee. Magnus, enraged, banished Ahriman from the Planet of Sorcerers along with the others who assisted.

For a time, Azkoth wandered the Eye, offering his power and warhost for rewards of lost artefacts and heretical lore; sometimes just taking what he wanted by force. Many times a cult leader would find himself simply stripped of his property – or his life – after making a deal with Azkoth. His quest for vengeance propelled him to plan well executed raids into realspace, forcing a response from loyal Astartes. Sectors rumored to be patrolled by the Space Wolves would be primary targets.

Azkoth’s power and influence within the banished Thousand Sons grew over time, and with his patron God as well. He struck many pacts with powerful Daemons, learning sorceries and knowledge that would blast lesser minds into insanity. He waged war for two centuries in the Lokia system, slaughtering millions in the search for the rumored Dolmen Gates, using an ancient Crone World for his base of operations.

The Eldar, furious at the taint of Chaos marring one of their ancient homeworlds, mustered a force to scour the planet clean. Tzeentch had seen this possible path and warned Azkoth of the coming Eldar. Azkoth ambushed the Eldar as they emerged from a hidden Webway portal beneath the planet’s surface. After the slaughter, Azkoth plucked the soul stones from the corpses of the Farseers and two Warlocks and later presented them as his personal gifts to Tzeentch. Tzeentch rewarded him with his personal Sigil, glorifying Azkoth as one of his most exalted Champions.

Azkoth, realizing now that the Dolmen Gates were unnecessary, notified Ahriman of the Webway portal and increased his presence on the planet. He built a large temple to Tzeentch and soon found cultists and other Chaos Marines loyal to Tzeentch flocking to the planet. Azkoth followed Ahriman into the Webway and helped him bring battle to the Eldar within, while simultaneously seeking entrance to the Black Library. They were repelled at great cost to the Eldar and after being expelled from the Webway, the Eldar destroyed it from within, sealing off the portal. Enraged, Ahriman bade Azkoth to continue his pogrom in the system and find the Dolmen Gates.

It was during one of the final battles in the sector that Azkoth was able to extract the promised vengeance from the Space Wolves. His warband, having beat back an offensive launched to push them off Volpe IX, and tracked the survivors back to their staging area.

The Wolves were badly beaten, having taken severe casualties during the failed offensive. When Azkoth found the survivors, there was perhaps half a company of Wolves, led by four Rune Priests. Azkoth was furious that the same Legion had begun using the same powers the Emperor himself forbade! The very same Legion decried him and his kind sorcerers and destroyed his home planet! He gathered his allies to him devising a devious plan. Under the cover of night, Azkoth’s force surrounded the camp and launched their assault. The Space Wolves fought back valiantly, but were no match for the full strength force arrayed against them.

Azkoth ordered the Priests be left alive, but the rest of the company were to be slaughtered. Their corpses were skinned.

Producing a scroll he obtained in the Eye of Terror, Azkoth wove a spell which bound the skins together to make a large cauldron. As the last stitch slid home, he placed his force axe within the newly procured vessel, and strung the Rune Priests upside down over the cauldron.

Incanting a rite he learned from a Lord of Change, Azkoth slit the throats of the Priests, allowing their blood to fill the cauldron. As the last of their lifeblood bathed his axe, and their souls departed, he finished the ancient Rite of Binding. The force axe consumed the blood of the Priests and absorbed their souls, trapping them for eternity.
Driven insane by their imprisonment, they howl and shriek their frustration and anger, and search for any escape from their cage. The axe, now given sentience by the maddened souls that inhabit it, now seeks other powerful souls to trap within it, damning them to the same fate.

Azkoth considers his imbued weapon to be the ultimate trophy, and to this day he laughs at the torment inflicted on the souls bound inside.

A fitting payment for their treachery.

*Edited stats.

Made some stat changes, should bring him more inline w/ cost. However, there's absolutely no way you're going to convince me that a weapon w/ -worse- stats than the Axe of Blind Rage & -also- gives USR's to an opponent is worth 10 pts more.

If I remember correctly, aren't the Night Lords one of the few legions to not use daemons or align themselves with any god? They really don't like Chaos, they just dislike the Imperium far more.

Also, not a clue what that Daemonic rule is.
