I do find it a lil silly that the bolter has that high a RoF myself (more than an Assault Cannon)
If he's carrying 4 Bolters strapped together though, that'd be hilarious and awesome.
Whats a bit silly? The bolter being named? Or the compilation of Renegades/Rogue Trader/other stuff
Yeah, in my mind he strapped four bolters together, the rending comes from the RoF more so than any unique trait.
He is intended to be a senile marine like Iacton Cruze, thinks himself a knight and such. His name literally means "A release of a man, Master of the People"
A "compilation of Renegades/Rogue Trader/other stuff" would be awesome. There's a lot of stupid stuff from the game's early days best left forgotten (err, and sometimes not, e.g. idiot-savant space orangutans) but there's a lot of fun worth resurrecting from a more tongue-in-cheek era.
And that context is a perfect fit for a senile Marine firing four bolters that are -- um -- bolted together. "Hey, I bolted these bolters so I can fire more bolts!"

It's so exciting to be working on something that is ENTERTAINING, it pushes the limits of creative balance.
I personally think having poor base stats can be compensated with interesting synergy between the models Weapons and special rules.
Special Rules: ATSKNF, One man Army (allows Rick Plugger to be fielded by himself, grants him ability to score objectives and contend objectives), Fat mans death dance ( when Rick plugger is your Army the entire board is line breaker for him), Why even bother (all games end after turn two), Relentless, Eeek!, Rick Plugger has an unbelievable fright of gretchin, if Rick Plugger is at base to base contact with any gretchin or grot model, Plugger has a minus 8 to all stats
Warlord Trait: table toss, if for some god forsaken reason, you actually lose a combat assault. You can quit the game in disgust. Game is always resolved as a draw.
Independent Character: 25 Points (+100 Points to take If I Where A Space Marine)
Thalsa, The Aged Veteran
WS:3 BS:4 S:3 T:3 W:2 I:3 A:2 LD:8 Sv: 5+
Wargear: Lasgun, Las Pistol, Power Sword, Flak Armor Frag and Krak Grenades
Special Rules: Experienced Marksman: Shooting attacks made by Thalsa the Aged Veteran are precision shots on to hit rolls of 4+, (If I where a Space Marine...:Thalsa The Aged Veteran and any squad he is in may once per game enter reserves with a drop pod as a dedicated Transport, this drop pod comes equipped with Four Heavy Bolters, A Multi Melta and a Heavy Flamer), Shrouded, Spit and Elbow Grease: Thalsa may attempt to repair any immobalized dedicated Transport, on a roll of 6 the vehicle is no longer immobilized
Thalsa's Drop Pod is a Venerable Drop Pod with a mind of its own,
Armor Value:
BS:3 Front:12 Side:12 Rear: 12
Special Rules: Venerable, Ancient Machine Spirit: Thalsa's Drop Pod may target separate squads with its six weapons, but will ALWAYS target models with the Daemon special rule if possible, if there are no Daemons or models with at least a 4+ armor save within 36" , the drop pod deems the enemy unworthy and will not fire any of its weapons, in addition, if there are no vehicles with at least one Armor Value of 14, then Thalsa's Drop Pod will not fire its Multi-Melta.
"Oy, Tinkanut!" the mek bellows, as he temporarily looks away from the Meka Dread he's welding together. "Ya got tha weldy bits!?"
"Ah got 'em 'lready boss, I'm comin'!" the little grot runt replies, as it drags a rather large and crude welding and cutting tool. "All ready ta git on."
The mek then grabs the 'fing and flings it to get the grot off, for then to mount it on and connect the proper bits to where they're sorta supposed to be, before he takes a few steps back to admire the big killy thing he just made.
"Sure 'ope Gorgutz loikes this." he says to himself, as he then bellows at the grot again. "Tinkanut! GIT DA BOSS!" And just for safe measures, he turns to his lootas bickering at the scrap wagons. "An ye gits betta not touch me new dread 'ere neitha!"

Gunz an' bits: Burna, 'Eavy Armor, Bosspole, Kustom Force Field, Cybork Body
Shiny gubbins:
Sunda Choppa: Crazygit's own specially made choppa, that's heavily inspired from a few power axes, that his lootas brought in for him.
He can use either one of the two modes at the start of the assault phase:
Normal choppy: S: normal AP: 4 Type: Specialist weapon
Souped up: S: +2 AP: 2 Type: Specialist weapon, Unwieldy, Armorbane
Metal 'ead: Due to a rather unfortunate accident involving a deff dread's buzz saw, he had to make himself a bionic head for himself, so his brain was somewhat contained in his head.
He gains +1 to Toughness, but suffers -1 to BS due to the rushed targeting bits.
Tinkanut: Being Crazygit's oldest and luckiest of his Orderlies, he keeps helping him out with either fetching or repairs, as well as creating some of his own stuff when nobody's looking.
Tinkanut's a grot oiler, that can be used all the time and only gets removed when Crazygit gets taken out as a casualty.
Crazygit's Scrappa boyz: These boyz works for the mek to loot wagons, guns, armor, basically anything that can be used to make something with, in which they of course either keep some of it, or get some fancy guns out of it.
They're standard shoota boyz, that can't get a nob, but gets a Mekboy with a Shoota for free. They can also get the following weapon, instead of a Big Shoota or a Rokkit Launcha:

250 points
WS6 BS5 S4 T4 W2 I5 A3 LD10 SV2+
Wargear: Plasma Pistol, Relic Armour, Frag Grenades, Krak Grenades, Soulsword, Sigil of Corruption, Talisman of the Flaming Eye
Relic Armour: This suit of armour has been forged many millenia ago by the most brilliant of Warpsmiths, and many protective wards are bound into its plates. This armour grants the wearer an armour save of 2+
Soulsword: Those who survive being struck by this force sword have their vitality drained from them, rendering them slow and sluggish.
Range: Melee S: user AP3 Type: Melee, Concussive, Force
Talisman of the Flaming Eye: This talisman grants the wielder sight beyond sight. Sharikh's psychic powers can target units he does not have line of sight to.
Special Rules:
Fear, Fearless, Psyker (Mastery Level 3), Breaker of Wills, Champion of Chaos, Mark of Tzeentch
Psyker: Sharikh may roll once on the Tzeentch table for his psychic powers, and three times on the Telekinesis or Telepathy disciplines. In addition, he has the following unique psychic power:
Kinetic Swipe
When Sharikh sweeps his arm, the foe scatters like leaves to the wind before him.
Warp Charge 2
Kinetic Swipe is a Maelstrom psychic power with a range of 12". It does not affect Monstrous Creatures or vehicles. All models hit by the power, except Sharikh himself, suffer a hit at their own unmodified Strength value. Furthermore, they are immediately moved D6" directly away from him. If this would take them into another model, the table edge, impassable terrain or lethal terrain, they stop when they reach it. If such a model is moved into contact with a model of the opposite side, they instead stop 1" away. If the thrown model hits another model, friend or foe (Including being forced to stop 1" away from a foe), then both models take the hit at the original Strength value.
Breaker of Wills
This special rule incurs a -1 penalty to Deny the Witch rolls taken against Sharikh's psychic powers (Effectively altering it to '-' unless Adamantium Will or similar is present).

Why would models being thrown take a hit at their own strength value? Wouldn't it make more sense to call the spell Masterful Manipulation or something? they shuffle one inch and hit themselves? Why does he have two wounds instead of three? He looks terribly over priced for what he does, lacks an invulnerable save, lacks a third wound but is on par with a Chapter Master in terms of weapon skill.

To the other questions, I don't know.
But I would assume the wounds and such is because it's base CSM Sorc, not base SM Captain / Chapter Master.

Idk, I personally think Arhiman is better for that price tag. Sure that character is a rather heavily modified sorc, but his overall effectivness isn't very high, he falls into the category of "Bad" or "Unplayable" you would be hard pressed to see him make his points back without some sort of deep striking, and even then this Sorc would get smashed in Close Combat.

They take a hit on their own strength to represent their own weight when they crash-land. They are not just punted nicely, they are violently hurled into the air and then fall down with a crash. Considering adding Strikedown.
I know he is not competetive. I only designed him with fluff in mind and I did not think much for competetiveness.
Also, I wiped with the Talisman naming.
It is supposed to be named Flaming.
Gonna fix.

Uh, he has a 3++ invulnerable save from Sigil of Corruption + Mark of Tzeentch, so I'm not sure where 'He has no invun' comes from...
"That time I only loaded the cannon with powder. Next time, I will fill it with jewels and diamonds and they will cut you to shrebbons!" - Nogbad the Bad.
He has WS6 like a Lord because he is more experienced in combat than your average Sorcerer.
As for cost, I have no idea. My first guess was indeed just a guess.
Shrug. I guess he is fluffy, he feels generic. The Template you used is closer to a Lord than just a Sorcerer, I personally think making him a Sorcerer lord alongside an additional hitpoint would be more in line with his statline.

His title is 'Master Sorcerer' which is similar. He leads a coven of Sorcerers.
You think I should make him W3?
Yeah, I think the third wound is in order, He might shine in a 1vsmany scenario, the Lone Sorcerer Lord descends from his obsidian tower to do battle with the whelps of some Chapters First company.
Campaigns are my thing and should be epic, he could be a pretty baller BBEG

Well, its important to note that having multiple badasses who are more badass than most other badasses is bad design. If he isn't the Second in command OR the Big Man himself then I would suggest toning his Power Levels down.
This council of six guys (and gals) are the leaders of The Church of Pure Joy, my Slaanesh worshipping Traitor Guard.
Gonna be honest here, these points costs are really rough. I’m not exactly sure how to price these guys. Heck, a six warlord rules list was enough work as it is. Suggestions welcome.
One Company Commander in an Imperial Guard army may be upgraded to one of the six Hexumvirate for the points cost listed below. A member of the Hexumvirate will always be the army’s warlord. They must be used exactly as described here and may not be given additional equipment. In an Apocalypse game, all 6 may be taken as a single HQ choice and all count as the Warlord together. This means that in an Apocalypse game where the whole Hexumvirate is taken, all 6 must be killed to get Slay the Warlord. An army that takes any member of the Hexumvirate may not take other Imperial Guard special characters. An IG army that takes any member of the Hexumvirate also changes its allies chart as follows:
Battle Brothers: Chaos Daemons (Slaanesh only), Chaos Space Marines (Mark of Slaanesh and Undivided only)
Allies of Convenience: Chaos Daemons (Tzeentch and Nurgle), Chaos Space Marines (Mark of Tzeentch or Nurgle), Imperial Guard, Tau, Orks
Desperate Allies: Chaos Daemons (Khorne), Chaos Space Marines (Mark of Khorne), Eldar, Dark Eldar
Come the Apocalypse: Grey Knights, Adepta Sororitas, Space Marines of all flavors, Inquisition

Orbital bombardment: Once per game, Aeven may call down an orbital bombardment in his shooting phase. This counts as firing a ranged weapon with the profile below.
Range: Infinite S: 10 AP: 1 Type: Ordinance 1, Barrage, Large Blast, Orbital: If an arrow is rolled on the scatter dice, the bombardment always scatters the full 2D6. Aeven’s ballistic skill makes no difference.

Range: 24” S: 10 AP:1 Type: Heavy 1
Intercept Reserves: As long as Aevin is alive, your opponent must subtract 1 from all reserve rolls. In addition, you may choose to force any enemy unit using the outflank rule to reroll the dice when determining which board edge the squad arrives from.

Staff of Obscenities: This powerful artifact cuts through reality, causing the warp to bleed into the very air around it, while flattering whispers drive the uninitiated mad. The Staff of Obscenities is a close combat weapon that has poisoned (2+) and Rending. It also gives its bearer the Immortal Commander and Lord of Unreality Warlord Traits.

Special Commander: Instead of issuing orders to infantry, Erato issues each order to a single tank or tank squad. All tanks are considered to have a leadership of 7 for the purpose of testing for orders. Erato may issue the following orders:
Smash their False Idol!- The tank or tank squad gains preferred enemy (super-heavies) until the end of turn.
Full Throttle, Full Blast!- The tank or tank squad may make a full move of 12 and fire all its weapons.
Thrill Me, Gunner!- If the tank or tank squad does not move this turn, it gains the Crack Shot rule until the end of turn.

Special Commander: Instead of issuing the normal set of orders, Calliope issues orders from the following list:
Faster, Faster, Faster!- The squad gains the Fleet special rule until end of turn.
Strike Now!- Use this order on a squad that has Gone to Ground the previous turn. The squad may stand up, fire at full ballistic skill, and charge this turn.
Deliver Them to the Dark Prince!- This order may be issued, even if the squad being ordered is locked in close combat. All close combat attacks made by the squad gain the Rending special rule until end of turn.

Wargear: Power Armour, Kai Gun, Master Crafted Bolt Pistol, Close Combat Weapon, Servo-arm, Diabolic Generator
Warlord Trait: Intimidating Presence (due to her demoralizing broadcasts, rather than being particularly frightening)
Special Rules: Mark of Slaanesh (Initiative already modified), The Haze, Druggist, Non-military Background
Diabolic Generator- This modified, daemonically possessed Refractor Field generator grants a 4+ invulnerable save to the entire squad. It also produces The Haze (see below).
The Haze-The Haze is a chemical cocktail of inhalant drugs that the Diabolic Generator pumps out in a purple cloud around Urania and her squad. The Haze gives Urania and her squad the Feel No Pain and Fearless special rules. Enemy units locked in close combat with Urania and her squad at the beginning of a turn suffer a D3 penalty to their weapons skill, down to a minimum of 1. The effect only lasts until the end of the turn.
Kai Gun-The Kai gun is a master crafted bolter with the Soul Blaze special rule.
Druggist- At the beginning of a game where you’re using Urania, you may grant D3 friendly IG squads the Feel No Pain special rule.
Non-military Background: A Company Commander upgraded to Urania may not issue Commands.
I think they look fine. I am unsure about them all having three wounds, I personally would have incorporated some sort of incentive for fielding all six at the same time, my only question would be the number of wounds they all have. The Navigator could probably go with one or two wounds.
Well, actually, why don't you use the Doombolt Template for the eyebeam?
Why is Urania a S:3 T:3 Chaos space marine wannabe?
Hmmm, upon further review, you probably need to drop a wound from most of them, each of these are looking to be around more expensive than you priced them at by 25-50 points easily.
Just keep in mind that adding numbers to a game doesn't have to be the only way of increasing a characters potential, I find that it helps to have a specific mechanic to introduce or a unique concept within each of my characters. The balancing comes easily when your goal is to create Y, rather than have Y be a part of your power rangers.

Correct. They're all based on the Company Commander. The question is, would it be better to lower the wounds or up the points cost?
Also, as far as Urania being a "space marine wannabe", she's supposed to have a Mechanicus flavor, since that's what she used to be. So I gave her some Enginseer wargear. Maybe the idea could've been implemented better.
These guys started as a concept rather than any particular rules ideas. Instead of one powerful individual, like most Chaos leaders, a council of six, each with their own area of expertise. So the "power rangers" thing is kind of inevitable, as that's their point. They could have a bit more synergy though. I guess making them all one squad, but I'm not sure how I could do that without them being an Apocalypse only formation. They're each supposed to be a powerful character in their own right. Any ideas?
Wargear
Lastlight, Bolt pistol, Night Fang, Frag and Krak grenades, Carpace Armour, Shadow Veil, Refractor Field, Camo cloak
Special Rules
Marksman, Move through cover, Stealth, Scout, Senior Officer - As per Codex
Lastlight: Its said the glint of his scope spells certain death to the unfortunate soul who sees it's flash of light in the dark.
Weapon----------------Range--Str--AP---Type
Lastlight Sniper rifle------40”----X-----3----Heavy 3, Sniper,
Night Fang: Just a cool sounding close combat wepon.
Shadow Veil: A powerful and mysterious artifact given to Ragnar by an Eldar Harlequin Troop Master.
Enemys wishing to fire at Ragnar and his CCS must first role 4D6 to see if they are in range.
Marksman: Ragnars may ignore all restrictions on choosing a target (he can even fire at characters within a unit!) and may fire at any model he can see and with in range. Also all cover saves and wound allocations are ignored. All rolls must be made by the chosen target.
Ragnar replaces the CC of your CCS and is available for 155 points. All his special rules apply to his CCS
If you choose to take him no heavy weapons are allowed and the only special weapons available are snipers. No body guards or Regimental Advisers may be taken either as they would just get in the way of Ragnar and his target.
Carpace armour, Camo cloaks and Krak grenades may be purchased however.
All other upgrades are allowed

Too strong?
Holy crap.
1: He should not confer all his special rules to his unit. The way it's written, it grants each member of his unit Marksman, Move Through Cover, Stealth, Scout and Senior Officer. That means up to 10 orders a turn out of his squad. 2: Shadow Veil makes no sense. It's more powerful than Veil of Tears. Furthermore all Eldar Tech is psychicly activated / controlled. Veil of Tears also requires what's described as a powerful and specialised Psykerto use, aswell as a Psychic Test each turn. So the only way I can think of that this item would work, is a Psyker, or somehow a Shadowseer in a Soulstone was implanted into some sort of shield device to power it, OR, the bearer is a powerful Psyker themselves. A Troupe Master isn't going to have a Soulstone powered shield, so the other option is Ragnar Karl is a Psyker Lowly guardsman with and using Psychic Xenos tech. Hope he likes a bolt shell to the brain. 3: The gun is fine.
Drop the granting all his special rules, and he can be +175. I'd also drop the Shadowveil. They already have a 2+ cover save when in any cover, making them immune to fire outside 24" on top of that is... bad. This would make him 150.

Plus, it's what I use when I write short stories etc.
