Been lurking in the shadows reading the forums for years but thought I'd finally create an account and post something!

I've always been more a fan of creating fluff and making models to suit said fluff regardless of whether they'd ever be 'legal'.
Recently I've started a primaris army and my mates are happy for me to use my custom units in games, so long as I have balanced justifiable rules/points for them. I don't have enough experience of playing, so thought I'd ask for help here!

What sort of points values do you think these units should have? would you adjust their rules in any way to suit the game mechanics more?
(units to follow in next post)

Ps. Thanks for any help! Trying to actually play a game have realised that nearly all my models are custom in some way and would much rather have appropriate rules rather than have them all as count as.
