Klaivex Xeria was once Hellebron Venijn, twin sister to the current Archon of the Venomous Thorns. Losing the leadership struggle for the Kabal against her twin, she fled to the Shrine of the Venomous Sting, where against all odds she became one of the Incubi. After distinguishing herself during a raid on Craftworld Iyanden, she became the first female Klaivex in nearly a thousand years. Her relatively slighter form leaves her physically weaker than other Incubi, although she has the edge in speed and agility. Xeria is currently chief Executioner to her sister, who trusts her as much as any Dark Eldar can truly trust another, even one of the Shrines. Whether her chosen profession has curbed her ambition to lead the Kabal, only time will tell.
Composition: 1 (unique): Xeria can be bought as an upgrade character for a single squad of incubi, instead of a Klaivex
Type: Infantry (character)
Points: 100
WS6 BS5 S3 T3 W1 I7 A3 Ld9 Sv3+
Wargear: Incubus warsuit, bloodstone
Demi-klaives: Xeria's slighter form means she wields her demi-klaives in a different form to other Incubi. Her demi-klaives are always used as 2 AP2 close combat weapons that give a total of 3 extra attacks (1 for 2 close combat weapons, then 2 extra). She may re-roll any to-wound rolls of 1.
Special Rules: Fleet, Night Vision, Power from Pain, Onslaught
Female Incubi aren't unknown, or that incredibly uncommon. Hell, maybe a third of my Incubi models are female.
And to be honest, that a disgraced Archon, passed the trials is unsurprising at best. She won't really be any less strong, as an Incubi is Str3 anyway, it's just the two-handed weapon that gives +1str.
I do kinda like the character though.
So costing as-is, then changes below!
However!
I would make a few changes mind.
1: I'd give her +1WS, +2BS, +2W, +1A and +1Ld to bring her in line with an Archons statline.
2: I'd switch to a unique set of demiklaives that are lighter, and cannot be combined. Call them Razor Klaives or something, make them the straight +2A, but give re-rolls to hit and to wound. (And I would model it by bulking out Wych Razorflails.) 3: I'd go with a classic-codex upgrade, and give her a Tormenter Helm (splinter pistol controlled with her brain... oh how I miss those. xD).
Something along the lines of:
[spoiler]FO: Elites
Squad: Incubi
Unit: Klaivex Xeria, Points Per: 175, Models: 1*, Unit Type: Infantry (Character),
WS-7, BS-7, S-3, T-3, W-3, I-7, A-4, Ld-10, Sv-3+.

The only thing there is the Caldera should not have WS higher than 7. To put it simply, Drazhar is called the Master of Blades for a reason: he is THE most skilled Incubus. Just doesn't seem right to me to have someone else with higher WS, Asdrubael Vect excluded.
I'm personally against Incubi of any sort having grenades, they are warriors not soldiers, and fluff wise they like to think of the klaives as THE only weapons good enough for them.
SImilarly, the High Incubus should be changed to Hierarch.
Apart from that they look good
Glory to the Twelfth! Glory to Angron!
"Because we couldn’t be trusted. The Emperor needed a weapon that would never obey its own desires before those of the Imperium. He needed a weapon that would never bite the hand that feeds. The World Eaters were not that weapon. We’ve all drawn blades purely for the sake of shedding blood, and we’ve all felt the exultation of winning a war that never even needed to happen. We are not the tame, reliable pets that the Emperor wanted. The Wolves obey, when we would not. The Wolves can be trusted, when we never could. They have a discipline we lack, because their passions are not aflame with the Butcher’s Nails buzzing in the back of their skulls. The Wolves will always come to heel when called. In that regard, it is a mystery why they name themselves wolves. They are tame, collared by the Emperor, obeying his every whim. But a wolf doesn’t behave that way. Only a dog does.

The newest dark innovation by the Iron Angels of Khorne warpsmith. One of the biker champions wanted more survivability for her person retuine to allow them get into close combat with enemy terminators and other heavy armour and prevent them from being torn to shreds. The warpsmith obliged and soon had presented her with the unholy creation known as terminator bikers. All the survivability of terminator armour and the speed and maneuverability of a biker. While they are not able to boost as fast most bikers, they are able to fire their weapons with greater accuracy

It's a cool idea but terminator suits are ludicrously heavy. I don't think you understand how heavy, that's part of the reason they can't go in a rhino! They would completely crush any bike they got on and the lack of manoeuvrability (they can't even jump!) means I doubt it would actually be beneficial.
Terminator armor wouldn't be a me to even fit on a bike. Maybe a buggy or trike of sorts, but it would crush a regular bike. It's an amazing thought though, and would be even cooler to play against or model. Maybe over costed at 175 base (I'd go to 125 or make it 3 bikers)

As I am making a squig army I may as well make some stats I will never use:
Commisquig Rikrak.........95 pts
Wargear:
Power Klaw
Back mounted bolt pistol
Laser vision Glasses
Night vision Goggles
Ramshackle Armor
WSBS S T W I A LdSv 3 3 2 4 2 3 2 9 4+
Special Rules:
Laser vision: Due to special goggles Rikrak stole from the imperium, Rikrak may use the markerlight special rule.
Squigginess: Rikrak, though all his imperial bionics, is just a slightly smarter squig, roll a D6 every turn;
1: Rikrak cannot move or do anything for the rest of the turn
2: Rikrak, in a sudden rage, attacks the nearest enemy unit. He gets +1 attacks and may move up to 10 inches
3: Rikrak screams heresy and kills the nearest unit (enemy or ally)
4: Rikraks' lasor vision acts up and an electric spark goes flying and hits the nearest enemy with a strength 3 shot with no AP, use Rikraks BS.
5: Rikrak screams and runs away from the enemy, move him 6 inches from the nearest enemy.
6: Rikrak, his bionic jet-boosters granting him supernatural powers, starts to fly, Rikrak treats all terrain as if it was flat until the end of the game.
Not smart enough to die: When Rikrak loses his last wound, roll a D6, on a 4+ he gets up with one wound and continues to fight.
Rikrak can issue 2 orders of any kind to any squig unit within 8 inches.
Independent Character
Night Vision

My armies: Tyranid, Nurgle/Dark Eldar and (hopefully) a squig one.
Special Rules:
Daemon of Tzeentch
Daemonic instability
Independent Character
Psyker (Mastery level one, Upgradable to level 3)
Twisting Warpscape: During the shooting phase, Moonface can expend one warpcharge, to cause a terrain piece of his choice (Not including fortifications) to scatter 4d6. This does not alter the facing of the terrain. Models inside the terrain
immediately take a dangerous terrain test, if the terrain piece collides with a unit (Friend or foe) they are counted as being tankshocked, and take d6 strength 4 ap- hits. The models are then moved the minimum distance to avoid the path of the terrain piece. The terrain piece stops only if it encounter's other terrain, stopping within one inch, or at the board edge, stopping within one inch.
This power may not be used on immovable terrain (Such as if it is built into the board itself)
This, would be insanely good fun, and give a real warp-feel, when the battlefield changes mid game, possibly carrying unit's in terrain around the board at random.

Squig Mek: Whenever Mekell is within 3 inches of a vehicle, you may roll a d6:
1: Mekell bangs his wrench on the vehicle in fustration. Make a str 2 AP 3 on the vehicle
2: Mekell angers the machine spirit. Center a large blast template on the vehicle. This blast is str 8 AP 0, the vehicle is unharmed.

Mekell may take ANY mechanical unit as a transport. He can use his special rules as normal.

Yeah I am really sick of complaining about the seemingly compulsory ap2 weapon that always strikes first and get 3d6 penetration. If you look through almost all of the characters on here have them so it gets tiresome...
And because I didn't include the squig fluff here's the story:
On Fragsnik, located near the Halo Stars, an ork warboss has suffered a terrible defeat. The head dok, Traskul, conspire with his orks ways that they could beat this enemy. Outside, a commotion causes the dok to look outside and find a squig eating a grot whole. Traskul had found his weapon... After convincing hundreds of orks, even the head mek and warboss to try it out. A week passes and the victims wake up from their long sleep to find, to their horror, that they had their brains transplanted into squigs! Seeking revenge, the orange raiders attack the dok only to did that he turned everybody, even himself, into a squig. The raiders clamber on to a Rok and drift into space.
Years later. Reports from forgeworld Ultria about missing technology and even a spoon! Ever since the attack by Warboss Rikrak they were on full alert. After a meteorite hit things started to disappear. Reports of orange terrors puzzle the receivers of the distress call. A local regiment of Imperial Guard is dispatched when, to their surprise, the forgeworld fires on them! Right before they destroy the planet on suspicion heresy, three small ramshackle fighters leave the planet.
My armies: Tyranid, Nurgle/Dark Eldar and (hopefully) a squig one.

Glory to the Twelfth! Glory to Angron!
"Because we couldn’t be trusted. The Emperor needed a weapon that would never obey its own desires before those of the Imperium. He needed a weapon that would never bite the hand that feeds. The World Eaters were not that weapon. We’ve all drawn blades purely for the sake of shedding blood, and we’ve all felt the exultation of winning a war that never even needed to happen. We are not the tame, reliable pets that the Emperor wanted. The Wolves obey, when we would not. The Wolves can be trusted, when we never could. They have a discipline we lack, because their passions are not aflame with the Butcher’s Nails buzzing in the back of their skulls. The Wolves will always come to heel when called. In that regard, it is a mystery why they name themselves wolves. They are tame, collared by the Emperor, obeying his every whim. But a wolf doesn’t behave that way. Only a dog does. That is why we are the Eaters of Worlds, and the War Hounds no longer."
—Captain Khârn of the World Eaters Legion's 8th Assault Company, from his unpublished treatise The Eighteen Legions
Loki Snaketongue
Chaos Champion of the Malice Serpents
Loki was originally a Space Wolf whom served in the 1st War for Armageddon. Loki was an accomplished swordsman and feared figure on the battlefield, however he earned the name snaketongue for his other peculiar trait. Loki was incredibly charming said to be able to talk an enemy into a state of submission or rile up his troops into a bloodthirsty frenzy. This seemingly demonic ability caused the Inquisition to take an interest in Loki. However, his service with the Space Wolves and battlefield exploits gained him a deal of protection from the Inquisition. This protection would come to an end following Loki's execution of a Grey Knight whom executed several groups of guardsman in the purging following the 1st War for Armageddon. Furious, Loki beheaded the Grey Knight and absconded with a small space cruiser. He was quickly tracked and caught by Grey Knights who destroyed his ship, but no body was ever recovered. The Inquisition declared him excommunicated and assumed dead.
But Loki was not, rather he had been taken into the Warp rescued by powerful demon of Khorne who wished to test the mettle of the swordsman in his bloody arenas within the warp. Loki relished the opportunity and was tasked with defeating a Greater Demon, the battle raged for days, but for a second Loki tired and was instantly beheaded.
Only to awake minutes later to the bellowing laughter of the demon, resurrected to fight once more as the demon enjoyed his fighting. For what seemed a millennia Loki fought, every day, dying every day and awakening again an eternal battle. Slowly his skills grew until he defeated his demon adversary. The next day Loki was brought to the arena, where two Greater Demons now stood bellowing at the confused swordsman.
Loki realized his torment was endless and sat about escaping from this prison. Every night he had prayed to the Emperor, but every night his prayer went unanswered. But one night, a voice creeped into his ear. It called itself Malice a weak and bitter God of Chaos, he pledged to make Loki his vessel and free him if Loki would deliver chaos and torment to all. Loki smiled and agreed renouncing his faith to the Emperor.
Loki has since escaped from the Warp following the Eye of Terror event. Reports surfaced that he has been manipulating all manner of troop Xenos and man alike. Most disturbingly an entire company of Black Templars Space Marines have lost communications including an Emperors Champion, the last reported vox communications was a choir of Templars chanting, Malice.
(For my CSM chapter, been out of 40k since Eye of Terror hence why Loki emerges around then, just getting back in since I'm moving to an area that has a thriving gaming community just a few questions is Malice still in canon? And is anything in the fluff above not fluffy? I am currently using him as a Count As Abbadon but if I made my own rules they'd be as follows)

Special Rules-Champion of Chaos, Eternal Warrior, Fearless,IC, Veteran of Long War, Scorned by Chaos, Snaketongue
Warlord Trait- Master of Deception

A sword of that is said to be of elder origin, it weeps a deathly poison
Poisoned Blade (3+)
AP3
Whispers of Venom
Allows for rerolls to hit
God Hand
A weapon that is said to be of Necron or perhaps ancient human technology, it incorporate two beam cutters that can focus into a powerful blast
Count as a Chainfist that can fire as a plasma pistol but does not suffer from the "Gets Hot" rules
Scorned by Chaos
Loki has been touched by Malice and as such is hated by the chaos gods, however they find tormenting him incredibly enjoyable and thus have gifted him with a dark protection. Loki counts as having all the marks of chaos but cannot take any cult troops as troop choices.. Furthermore he cannot join with any units that contain an IC with a mark of chaos.
Snaketongue
Loki is gifted with an incredible talking ability and has been known to charm even the most hardened warrior.
If Loki is in base contact with a model than he may forego close combat and instead initiate snaketongue, snaketongue automatically hits, roll on the table below for result
1d6
1-The charm fails, resolve combat as normal
2-3-The opposing unit is charmed and can do nothing the reminder of this turn following turn, however you may not target or otherwise attack this unit (No one dares to disturb a charmed victim of Lord Loki)
4-5-Loki convinces the opposing unit to attack his teammates, the unit must attack the closest friendly unit (if two friendly units are close the opponent may pick which to target, if no targets are close the opponent simply attacks the air, ie he loses his attacks this turn)
6- Life is worthless brother
(Loki convinces the enemy unit that life is not worth living, the enemy unit struggles with this quandary and can do nothing the following turn, in addition he may be attacked or targeted however you may opt to attempt to break the charm and roll a second d6 a 2-5 does nothing, a 1 will break the charm, however a 6 will cause your unit to becoming hopelessly suicidal and kill himself, remove the model from play)
(Charm may only be used once on the same model and only once a turn, furthermore Tyranid are immune to the charm as they don't understand Loki)
((Updated due to some suggestions, point cost went up and sword switched a little bit)

"I prayed to that corpse for a millenia with no response, what makes you think he'll answer you?"
2000 Loki Snaketongue and the Serpents of Malice
That's awesome fluff! The character however seems quite undercosted. Why not switch the sword up a bit eh? The last 500 or so characters on here have all had cc weapons that ignore armour and it just gets a bit boring. How about keeping the poison, making the blade ap3 and giving it a rule where it whispers to his opponents before he strikes meaning rerolls to hit. It's nice t have some variety occasionally.
I like that better actually, I was trying to think of ways to make the sword a little unique and that fits the bill perfectly.... Any other ways to improve maybe bump his points to 300?

Twisting Warpscape: During the shooting phase, Moonface can expend one warpcharge, to cause a terrain piece of his choice (Not including fortifications) to scatter 4d6. This does not alter the facing of the terrain. Models inside the terrain
immediately take a dangerous terrain test, if the terrain piece collides with a unit (Friend or foe) they are counted as being tankshocked, and take d6 strength 4 ap- hits. The models are then moved the minimum distance to avoid the path of the terrain piece. The terrain piece stops only if it encounter's other terrain, stopping within one inch, or at the board edge, stopping within one inch.
This power may not be used on immovable terrain (Such as if it is built into the board itself)
This, would be insanely good fun, and give a real warp-feel, when the battlefield changes mid game, possibly carrying unit's in terrain around the board at random.
That is awesome. I have been trying to get a moonface model to use as a herald of tzeentch. In a friendly game, imagining the terrain getting shifted and moved about just sounds like a good time... unless it back-fires on you.
