How compulsory is the disk o Ahriman?

And, should I swap Ahriman for an exalted sorc. for a more relaxed game? The point is I don't use to like to use special characters, like I can imagine a better background if no one of them has a specific name or previous history. But I cannot understan why would someone (sane) choose an exalted sorcerer over Ahriman.

This is the 40K lists section, you probably want to post this in the Kill Team section somewhere.

Also the colored text makes these lists difficult to read, I'd stick to the normal text colors.

Ok fixed!

I understand you don't want to use named chatacters but I would recommand you to use Ahriman instead of an exalted sorcerer, for a few points more he knows 1 additional spell, get plus 1 to psychic tests and «denie the witch» and can cast 1 additional spell and denie 2 additionals spells per round.
You still can use his rules and pretend he is an anonymous character for the fluff. Fluffs and rules doesnt realy mix well...

With or without disc is your choice. I likely prefer to play him with the disc for better speed and «fly» keyword.
It give you enough speed position him right (to buff an unit or snipe easily any opponent character).

Edit : If this is for KillTeam, I don't know the rules of that game so don't concidere my opinion.

It was a kill team list, but as this is not the best place I posted it in other subforum and used this to post about 40k.

And that is what I mean, the exalted sorcerer feels so wrong compared to Ahriman... Actually the sorcerer and the terminator are so wrong as well compared to Ahriman or DP.

At low cost games, Ahriman is wasted. Especially with all the psychic ability the list is already bringing. +1 spell and deny the witch wont matter at the sheer volume of spells hes slinging and denying already.

Just IMO
