Good afternoon everyone. I am trying to fill in approx 140pts into my WE force with my current models. I am using Kharn and Gahlan as my two HQ's. My issue is I only have HQ models left to fill the 140pt gap. I was going to add in a Legion Consul as a third HQ, but does Gahlan count as one? I don't see the Support Officer entry in his special rules. I am using Berserker Assault, so I can only have one Consul, hence the dilemma.

No. He's a named character not a centurion that has had a consul upgrade applied.

So, as I have not added in a Centurion to begin with, this still gives me the option?

Yes. And you would be allowed two centurions without consulships and say a primus medicae.

Nice. So now just have to decide on the Consul type.

Legion champion would be a fluffy choice and mine has always done well. I equip him with artificer armour, refractor field and a power axe (which becomes master crafted for free). He gets +1 WS in challenges too which is nice. Comes to 130 points off the top of my head.

Sorry, it's 120 points, not 130.

“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."

I am looking at the Legion Champion with bolt pistol and lightning claw.

The problem I find with putting a lighting claw on him is that you don't get +1 attack for 2 CC weapons and, as the champion has to issue challenges if able, he struggles with any character with a 2+ save. If he comes up against a squad sergeant with AA and a power fist he's going to get minced unless the sergeant rolls badly on his armour save.

If you give him a power fist or power axe, he may be striking last but he should be able to weather most attacks with his AA then hit back hard.

Also looking back at the Moritat to jump around with my Destroyers.

Moritats can be fun. Duel plasma pistol can ruin squads and light vehicles. Duel volkite is also fun for infantry killing.
