Points: 300

BS 3
FA 14
SA 14
RA 14

Weapons:
2 heavy flamer sponsons
1 Pintle-mounteed twin-linked bolter
1 Hull-mounted twin-linked autocannon
Smoke launcher
Searchlight

Special Rules:

Pantheon Possession: The Land Raider Faustus contains within its ceramite hull the bound essences of four greater daemons of each of the
Ruinous Powers. Their effects are:
• Daemonic Possession
• Hy’sslyth the Serpentine – this Keeper of Secrets allows the Faustus to move an extra 2D6 inches.
• Bor’gah the Buzzard-Lord – this Great Unclean one reduces damage results rolled on the Vehicle Damage table by 1.
• Khorgrim Goreripper – this Bloodthirster gives the Faustus +1D6 to ramming attacks.
• Beel’zee’chak – this Lord of Change causes the Faustus’ shooting weapons to be AP 3.
Aside from Daemonic Possession, one of these effects may be chosen per turn. Daemonic Possession constantly stays in effect throughout the game.

Lectern of the Apostle: This pulpit built into the Faustus’ hull allows the Dark Apostle to issue bellowing prayers and recitals to his fellows
embroiled in the battle. All units within 12” of the Faustus, even if they have gone to ground or are locked in combat, become fearless.

Apostle’s Coach: The Faustus may only be used as a Dedicated Transport for a Chaos Lord designated to be a Dark Apostle and his retinue. It may not carry any other unit.

Seems pretty underwhelming: 2 Heavy Flamers and an Autocannon for 100 points more than a garden-variety Land Raider?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/456649/4424210.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/456649/4424210.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/456649/4424429.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/456649/4424429.page GMT d6 fleet, nurgle can stay the same, aswell as tzeenth. Make them passive abilties instead of choosing, so it epitomizes their pantheon of the ruinous powers, although this may or may not lead to some points adjustment. Just my 2 cents]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/456649/4424567.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/456649/4424567.page GMT
The Khornate Greater Daemon may be better off affecting Tank Shocks & Ramming. Also, it doesn't actually list it as having Daemonic Possession, Smoke Launchers or a Searchlight.
Finally, there's no actual unit entry (or retinue) of a Dark Apostle; may wish to change that to a Sorcerer or Lord.

Otherwise it seems like a really neat, characterful addition. As it is, with a 10-man transport capacity, I'd accept it at its current cost if all the abilities were passive/always active, minus the Khorne or Slaanesh ones possibly. Particularly if combined.

Oh and the picture looks really cool!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/456649/4424651.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/456649/4424651.page GMT
I think something more fitting would involve extra attacks or other forms of damage, maybe tank shocked units take D6 S5 hits or something]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/456649/4424843.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/456649/4424843.page GMT Slaanesh now affects speed.

Transport capacity of 10.

Daemonic possession IS listed.
Smoke launchers and searchlight etc.
