Meaning like a Calgar character.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/778177/10511344.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/778177/10511344.page GMT Re:Make your own character
Generally speaking (as a rules/game designer), almost 85% of custom stuff I see drawn up for 40K is overpowered nonsense. If you can create a reasonable and not-overpowered custom character, most people would be fine allowing you to run it. You should start with a GW profile as a basis (use the stat-line from Calgar but then change his weapons and some of his special rules, etc.). Then add 10-15 points onto the cost as a tax for creating your character.

An interesting character would also have some penalties along with the bonuses, but even GW doesn't bother with that because...time?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/778177/10511361.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/778177/10511361.page GMT Make your own character
I.E. play as Black Templar and use all the Black Templar rules but make your own models for their named characters and just say fluff wise they are your own dudes. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/778177/10511364.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/778177/10511364.page GMT Re:Make your own character

Yes, but they will not be accepted in matched play without your opponents consent (and never in tournaments, essentially). So this depends entirely on your gaming group and your opponents - also how good you are at writing rules.

Oh I mean like a "counts as". I want to make my marine chapter a different color and have my own figures be Vulkan or Calgar etc. I'm not trying to make my own rules.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/778177/10511365.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/778177/10511365.page GMT Make your own character

Definitely go.for it. Kit bashing and conversions are the best bit of the hobby for me.

Awesome! I'm able to paint and model again for the first time in years (medical issue with my hands). I want to make an all primaris chapter of space marines based off of Doom. I want my Guilliman to be a primaris marine on a large base standing on corpses to be the proper height of grandpa smurf.
