Subject: Horus Heresy Characters yet to be given rules.
-Legiones Astartes (Space Wolves): The Space Wolves are known as savage barbarians throughout the known galaxy, and their actions in war certainly comply with this image. Units with this rule have the Stubborn USR, and may reroll 1 failed roll for charge distances (1 reroll per game, per unit)
-Legiones Astartes (Thousand Sons): The Thousand Sons have the greatest number of Psykers, and it is believed all Thousand Sons have a certain level of psychic ability. However the Thousand Sons have been plagued with the lowest numbers of any Astartes legion. As such Tactical squads, Assault squads, Support squads, and Breacher Siege squads count as having 1 Psychic Mastery level per 10 marines, and units of these types cost an additional 5 points per marine and the squad. These squads do not however actually generate powers.
-Legiones Astartes (White Scars): The White Scars have an emphasis on speed, in all aspects of warfare. All infantry models in a White Scars primary detachment have the Fleet USR, and all bikes and jetbikes may turbo-boost 15 inches instead of the normal 12.
-Legiones Astartes (Dark Angels): The Dark Angels are balanced fighters, and highly adaptable. The secrets of their legion are numerous indeed. All Infantry models within an Dark Angels primary detachment add +2 to their roll when taking any leadership test, and count as having killed 1 additional enemy model when determining Victory at the end of a melee phase.
-Legiones Astartes (Blood Angels): The melee prowess of the Blood Angels legion and it's Primarch is rivaled only by the World Eaters legion. All Infantry models within an Blood Angels primary detachment have the Crusader USR, and gain the Furious Charge rule when attempting to charge a fleeing enemy.

Finally found my quote from a gym buddy born and raised in South Korea:
"It is the soldier, not the reporter who has given us the freedom of the press.
"It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us the freedom of speech.
"It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who gives us the freedom to demonstrate.
"It is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protester to burn the flag."

Subject: Re:Horus Heresy Characters yet to be given rules.
I'd really like to get some feedback on this.
I went plum loco on the daemon primarchs, but I feel like that's somewhat counteracted by Great Instability making them take an average of 2 wounds in a 5 turn game.
The Lion and Guilliman are mainly army buffing units as can be seen. They actually get phased by bolters in their appearances.
Ariarcha and Hellenika (custom Sisters of Silence characters), Phosis T'Kar, Bjorn, Thiel, and the OG Cypher will have thier rules on here in matter of hours.

I think when sanguinius dies instead of everyone in his detachment loosing leadership it should be something like on the next turn all blood angels must move as directly as possible towards the nearest enemy unit and charge. All blood angels have Rage and Furious charge for this turn.
I'm sure you already know but when he died the blood angels didn't get scared, they all went into a mad battle frenzy.
Otherwise they're all pretty cool, especially rules like leman russ's dirty fighting.
You should add Azkaellon or First Captain Raldoran to the assorted other characters

"If you can't keep up, go and join the Death Guard"

Just A Few Suggestions:
1. The gauntlets of Ultramar are not unwieldy and in the shooting phase, they're AP2, Assault 2
2. Make The Lion WS8 and give him +1 initiative. S7 on Russ is fine, because he is described as stronger than The Lion, but The Lion in described as quicker than Russ. Their skill in combat is also described as evenly matched.
3. Khan is normally depicted on a jet bike, so maybe the Red Hare makes him a Jetbike type?
4. I agree with the above, the leadership penalty should still apply, but if Sanguinius dies, Blood Angels should get rage etc. Maybe a 4++ for Sanguinius? It can become a 3++ in close combat (like Fulgrim) or it can increase when he beats someone in a challenge. I would say the WS9 is a bit excessive, but Sanguinius needs to be able to hold his own against a bloodthirster. Also, there was never 2 blade encarmines, just one.

The psychic buffs for Pre Ascention Magnus are a little much, I think.
Some ideas: He boosts his detachment's psychic phase so that they gain an extra d3 WC in the phase. Maybe limit this to an 18" bubble around him.
Instead of auto- casting, make it so he sets off powers on a 2+; he also has a 24" bubble where psychic denial for units in his detachment get +1.
Make the Heqa Staff AP 3, maybe even 4; he can be a super- duper force multiplier OR a combat monster, not both and for the sake of my favorite legion, I hope he multiplies my force by oodles.
Sanguinius should just be jump infantry, maybe even jet pack infantry; MC movement rules are a little much.

Magnus is definately a bit much for the points (especially when considering he gets free invisibility).
I would tone down his other stats for balance. He's a scholar ,not a warrior.

Khan seems a bit underpowered - apart from the Jetbike, I'm not really sure what he 'has'.
He's meant to be a master swordsman (definitely one of the more 'single combat'/martial primarchs) and blindingly fast, with a good, simple, tactical mind based on glorious strikes and first charges.
Leman Russ should certainly be stronger than him, but I get the impression Khan should have the higher WS and I, and maybe a bonus on the charge?
Also, I don't think there's any actual depiction of him on a jet bike - I agree it's fluffy, but the only time we've yet seem him in action he's been on foot or leading a teleporting terminator squad to the dead centre of the combat.

I think that the changes you made to Angron's statline make sense, but ultimately he ends up being worse than he used to be, rather than better.
For 75 more points, what does Angron gain? +1 Toughness, +1 Wound, Rage, and Rampage. But he loses Hatred (All), his Feel No Pain (6+), and now is easier to hit while having a harder time hitting.
Not sure if this was intentional or not, but he ends up being overall worse than before especially since he also loses his only Ranged weapon. Normal Marines would hit him on a 5+ in combat, now a 4+. Primarchs that might have hit him on a 4+ before now hit him on a 3+, and Angron has a harder time hitting now with loss of Hatred and his superior WS.
For example, old Angron vs Rogal Dorn had 7 attacks, hitting with 6.16 (Hatred) and wounding with with 4.144, then reduced to 2.07 before IWND Dorn hits 2 times, wounds 1.5 times, 0.625 wounds after saves and FNP and IWND will take that down to 0.4166667 wounds at the start of the next turn.
Now, Angron hits on a 4+ due to Berserker. He does the same amount of wounds to Rogal. Dorn now attacks back, hits with 2.66668, wounds with 1.3334, down to .6667 after saves and IWND takes that down to .4444 wounds dealt. So now Rogal actually does -more- damage versus Angron!
Sure, Angron has an additional Wound and Toughness, but the 6+ FNP and better WS made up for it. Plus, that version was also 75 points less, which is a big deal.
The biggest problem Angron has versus any other Primarch is that not only will he still lose to some of them, but these Primarchs also provide FORCE MULTIPLIERS. Angron provides 1, and only if you're within 12".
Personally I recommend you drop Angron down to 440, drop the Berserker rule, and have Sire of the World Eaters grant all models in the army (and himself) a Feel No Pain (6+) and perhaps allow D3 units to Scout (but it must be towards enemy units). And perhaps disallow Librarians within 12" of him?
Or if you don't do that, drop Angron to 410 points imo, Guilliman beats Angron 1v1 and costs only 400, but provides so many other benefits!
I hope I was able to be constructive in how I posted, I really like the changes you made to the Primarchs and overall the rules are really sweet. Just wanted to provide my own input.
