commander alexander Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Very cool, and if not for the possibility of he and his men I would say he is too powerful, but I think you should remove the extra Fenrisian Wolves.

nurglespuss Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Good effort! Just a couple of things. No real need for one/two handed weapon no in game effect any more. Unfortunately, you maybe need to read a little more about psychic blanks, they also badly effect 'normals' causing nausea, unease, paranoia etc. as even 'non-psykers' have a weak psychic latency, and presence in the psychic realm. There would be no way to dampen this either (and if there were, it would no longer be of consequence in-game. So personally, I would remove this. The reforged daemon weapon is a popular idea (logan, marneus etc.) I would remove the 'evil still resides within' bit of the rule, no wolf lord would utilise such a thing.

Ullr Direfang Posted December 15, 2009 Author Share Posted December 15, 2009 Made some changes with some explanation. Please comment if you would. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/186891-my-datasheet-link/#findComment-2216103 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurglespuss Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 These changes are interesting, but for a pacewolf, the blank thing (even filtered as it is) just doesn't fit the 'pack' mentality, I would remove it. Also, the demon weapon is still too demonic. Plus, as a blank, the weapon would recoil away from him. It sounds like yopu want a chaos character to be honest.

Prophecy Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Quick note because this feels rather negative: there are constructive ideas near the bottom. I feel like I'm pissing on your parade man, and I'm all for fluff on characters, but (and I can't remember what book it is), blanks can't become Astartes. He wouldn't have to have been tested by a rune priest (who wouldn't have been able to get within a half mile of him anyway, their presence being so painful to psykers), because even normal people would recoil from him. Being in the presence of a blank is almost mentally painful to even non warp-aware people. Blanks are actively hunted by numerous different organizations, mostly to kill them. The only two organizations who use blanks are one of the assassins (can't remember it's name. It's not callidus, vindicaire or eversor. It's the other "c" one) and Necron Pariahs. They're called Pariah's for a reason... Also if he somehow is a blank, not only would psychic powers not work around him (and nice rule for that, by the way. I like the half leadership thing), but perils of the warp wouldn't happen either. His presence prevents the warp from activating, and so while the power wouldn't go off, it also certainly wouldn't have a higher chance of backfiring into the mind of the psyker. And finally, like NP said, the weapon wouldn't react to him at all. His presence would repress the demon inside the weapon, and it would act as a normal hunk of metal so long as it is within range of him. One last question; why does he have runic armor on? Seems kind of redundant to give someone who is anti-warp armor that protects against warp effects... (edit: nevermind, I saw that you made some changes later in the thread. he wears it to lessen the effects. I can buy that) Like I said, I feel like I'm raining on your parade here. I like the concept, but you might be much better off making him an ally. Think WH or DH codex. Drop the power armor and astartes stats, give him some other boosts and call him an Imperial Agent working DEEEEEEP under cover (I'd say look at the other assassins for ideas and stats). I'm sure you could think of a reason why the Wolves would have him. They've been known to make beneficial "deals" with various organizations. If you do though, a "Lone Wolf" rule might not be out of place. The presence of Blanks are so abhorent to normal people (and intolerable to psykers) that no unit would be willing to let him join and fight with them.
