He as a general snippet of back story was a deathwing terminator assisting in the guarding of an artifact baring symbols of nurgle while awaiting the arrival of the inquisition to aprase and take the artifact, since the area was still a combat hot zone under chaos and ork invasion, nothing that would leave them beseiged but the orks just want the shiny artifact and the Chaos forces want to reclaim it for nurgle, essentialy on the eve of the inquisitions arival the orks and chaos forces attack simultaniously, the defensive forces are not large enough to repel both invasions so the base is soon over run and in the general madness of such an event his eyes catch the artifact, a daemon bound within the artifact posesses him, he then destroys almost all of the stationed dark angels, kills the lord in control of the chaos forses then asumes comand and finaly with the aid of the chaos forces slays arround half of the local green skin population who then flee off into space. he has not been seen on the front lines since this event

for rules he is a chaos lord (also the same stats) with mark of nurgle, terminator armor, twin linked bolter and these additional proposed rules

Daemonic Poseesion: 3+ invun save, also counts as a damon for the purposes of GK stuff

Daemonic Weapon: some chaos lords carry a daemon weapon but due to his stature as a daemon within a mans body he is instead a daemon weapon so all of his attacks are that of a nurgle daemon weapon (so +D6 on profile and always wound on a 4+)

Putrid Aura: all enemy units within 6" of this model must take a leadership test and if they fail all friendly units bearing the mark of nurgle wound that unit on a 3+ unless there strengh would mean they would wound on a better value

C+C wanted and a recomendation of points value im thinking arround 200 points as he is not over powered in my opinion, also before i get comments about it the fluff is terrible but thats because i havnt realy thought to fluff it out, in most games i will only be using him as a chaos lord with TA and daemon weapon but if allowed by opponants or in apocalypse games i would like to use the model with these rules, also i have next to no practical knowledge of 6th edition and its wonders so if they could get 6th editionanized that would be nice, but anyway have at it what you must.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/469243/4641307.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/469243/4641307.page GMT How many points is fair for this character? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/469243/4641491.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/469243/4641491.page GMT How many points is fair for this character? str 3 hit on every enemy model within 12" if i am correct so its not realt the same thing if you know what i mean]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/469243/4641527.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/469243/4641527.page GMT How many points is fair for this character? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/469243/4641600.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/469243/4641600.page GMT How many points is fair for this character? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/469243/4641966.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/469243/4641966.page GMT How many points is fair for this character?

For the cost i would go with something around 210 points.
165 for a Chaos Lord with MoN, Daemonweapon and Termie-Armor
+ 20p for 3++ (SS from C:SM without attack-reduction, but with fear from Daemon-USR)
+ 20-30 points for his unique curse]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/469243/4642136.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/469243/4642136.page GMT How many points is fair for this character? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/469243/4643657.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/469243/4643657.page GMT How many points is fair for this character? MoN."

200 seems good, although he seems a bit Typhus-y IMO.

Don't worry about fluff. Seems ok to me at this point. Perhaps re-word it so it doesn't sound like he single handedly butchered every Dark Angel there, just the survivors. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/469243/4643681.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/469243/4643681.page GMT How many points is fair for this character? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/469243/4645317.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/469243/4645317.page GMT How many points is fair for this character? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/469243/4653873.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/469243/4653873.page GMT How many points is fair for this character?
KillerSkivil wrote:i dont realy like thyphus, i love the model but i find his rules underwhelming so i wanted a alternative, the wounding on 3+ while in base contact would kind of weaken the use of him being a daemon weapon and i did want him to kind of radiate power as if an incredibly powerful daemon had possesed him and he was barely contained within his form, maybe -1T within 6" would be a nicer alternative


Dude, it means all units with MON, not just him. So Plaguebearers, MoN CSM, Plague Marines, etc.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/469243/4666859.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/469243/4666859.page GMT
