For those of you who played the video game Space Marine back in 2011 you would know the character by the name of Warboss Grimskull.
Because I found him to be such a fun character I thought I'd try to make a respectable version of him with table top rules. Let me know what you think
of the pricing, gear, and if it seems fair or not. Thanks I hope this gets a nice response!

Ain't So Easy Ta Kill: Warboss Grimskull Has IWND and FNP 4+

What do you guys think?
Should I replace the Ded Shiny Shoota with a twinlinked dakka gun?
Does the Finkin Kap work to denote that he is more clever than your average ork warboss?
Should I drop the Waaagh! Banner or make it so that it doesn't work on him only his squad?
Too much stuff, Too cheap in points? If you have any recommendations or ideas or think some things should be taken out please let me know.
His basic wargear would cost around 130 points leaving 40 for his additional special rules and extra wound.
Let me know please!

P.S.
I do plan to convert a model to look like him.

PS PS
One should note that his armor was not mega armor. The V8 engine strapped to his back was to power his weapons.

Just a heads up, this kind of post belongs in the 40K Proposed Rules section of the forum. So you might want to get a mod to move it there for you.

its cool I'll just post it there instead and see if I can kill this one

I like it!

Well, my memory of the game may be a little shady, but was the warboss really known for his shooting or his smarts? He was a tough warboss, but I don't think he really qualified for getting buffs through Finkin' Cap or the Shiny Shoota.

On that same note, I feel like he needs to be unique, not just an amalgam of what's already there. Make him special.

Wasn't he wearing megaarmor in game?
