Hey guys been doing some work on this, not finished yet but let me know of what you think of it so far
Herald of Days Forgotten 270 pts
Ws5 Bs5 S4 T4 W3 I4 A3 Ld 10
Wargear: Power sword, mastercrafted plasma pistol, power armor, frag/krak grenades, iron halo may take the Fire Hawks chapter banner for 50pts( if taken, then LoTD squads may be taken as troops)

Unique, Independent Character( he may join LoTD units despite them having the Aid Unlooked For rule), Aid Unlooked For, Unyielding Spectres, Fear, Fearless, Flaming Projectiles, And They Shall Appear Without Warning( up to half of the units with the Aid Unlooked For special rule(round up) may deepstrike t1. Herald of Days Forgotten must be in this initial deepstrike.)

Really overpriced. Compare what you get to a similarly equipped Captain and you'll see that even with his extra rules he's not really worth it, even more so when you take the banner into account: If you're making this a proper Codex then surely LotD squads should be Troop choices to begin with?

Damned librarian 120 pts
Ws4 Bs5 S4 T4 W2 I4 A2 Ld 9
Wargear: Force weapon, power armor,bolter, bolt pistol, frag/krak grenades. May take items from special weapons

Psyker ml 2( may upgrade to 3 for 30pts)
, Independent Character( he may join LoTD units despite them having the Aid Unlooked For rule), Aid Unlooked For, Unyielding Spectres, Fear, Fearless, Flaming Projectiles,

May generate powers from the pyromancy, santic and maelific fields and is considered an expert in these fields only rolling perils on double 1's.

I'd remove the "exper in Daemon powers" bit and give him access to Divination as well. For a Chapter which arrives when most needed it makes sense they'd have some sort of foresight/divination ability.

Heavy Support:
Damned Dreadnought
Ws4 Bs4 S6 F12 S12 R11 Ld10
Wargear: Dreadnought power fist with heavy flamer,
Twin-linked assault cannon. May take the same upgrades as C:SM dreadnoughts excluding the Venerable upgrade.

Aid Unlooked For, Unyielding Spectres, Fear, Fearless, Flaming Projectiles

Why is the Assault Cannon twin-linked. Surely it should just be the same as a regular Dreadnought?

Kinda concerned about aa. Maybe some kind of FMC LoTD? After all they are warp beings, it wouldn't be unheard of for spontaneous mutations to occur especially to help them in their quest against other chaos forces. Either that or some type of flyer that is no longer in service

Flying ASM who can assault zooming flyers? I depict them more akin to Warp Talons than classic ASMs.

Besides it would be F*ing cool seeing Flaming Marines of Doom attacking a larger aircraft like vultures. And Meltabombing those aircrafts

Did a bit of brainstorming and came up with some relics for the LotD

1. Animus Venator - 30 pts
The skull-faced Animus Venator helm projects a continous aura of fear and misery to those nearby. Those who gaze into the obsidian lenses, however briefly, are filled with nightmares of fire and spectral terrors. In extreme circumstances the Venator can amplify its effect, shredding the minds of all those in the vicinity.


The bearer of the Animus Venator has the Fear and Hatred special rules. In addition once per game, the bearer may amplify the helm's effects: Every enemy unit within 12" takes a number of wounds equal to 3D6 minus the target's Leadership value. Armour saves may not be taken against this attack.
I like this, although fear will not be that useful because LoTD come pre-packaged with it, the one use ability could be devastating against low ld armies like tau or guardsmen. Another thing I would add to it though is that it can't affect vehicles. Just for clarification.

2. Soulstorm Blade - 20pts
Crafted from the heart of of a dying sun, the Soulstom Blade takes on the appearence of a standard-issue power sword. Those who fall prey to its edge find themselves drained of hope and energy, with wounds unable to heal despite inhumane physiology or alien metabolisms.

S+1 , Ap3, Melee, Lifedrain
Lifedrain: A model wounded by this weapon loses the effects of Feel No Pain or It Will Not Die for the rest of the game.

I love this. It fits with their fluff and its balanced.

3. Paragon Cuirass - 50pts
The last known piece of a long forgotten pattern of Power Armour, the technology contained within this inpenetrable armour boosts the user's resilience far beyond that of regular Astartes.
A model with the Paragon Curaiss has the Feel No Pain (3+) rule and a +1 Toughness boost (this does affect the models' Instant Death threshold).
Again nice job with this.

4. Pariah Hood - 40pts
Similar in appearence to a standard-issue Psychic Hood, the Pariah Hood in fact has the complete opposite effect. Psykers within its effects lose their connection to the warp, and etheral spells soon dissipate before the bearer, leaving them untouched from summoned pyroclasts and projectiles
A model with the Pariah Hood, as well as all units within 6", are immune to all Psychic Powers, regardless of the source. Any units under the effect of any psychic power immediatly lose the effects should they move within 6" of the bearer.

You sure we're talking about the same thing? Aren't Renegades and Heretics the "Evil IG" ? Here we're talking about Legion of the Damned, small elite ghost soldiers.

Correct me if I misunderstood.
