captain Angel Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 I have come up with 2 special charecters. one is sepharan, captain of the sanguinary gaurd. WS BS S T W I A Ld Sv sepharan 5 4 4 4 2 5 3 10 2+ Unit Composition: 1 (Unique) Unit Type: jump Infantry War Gear: artificer Armour; Blood Glave; angelus bolter, death mask, frag and krak grenades, jump pack; chapter banner; iron halo special rules: fearless; descent of angels; herald of sanguinis, Blood glave Herald of sanguinis: he is an upgrade to a squad equipped with death masks and a chapter banner for 50 points. if he is the last member of his squad, he becomes an independent character. blood glave: this glave encarmine adds three to the wielders strength. the second character is my own creation, brother captain Nicholas Angel, of the blood angels first company. here is some back story. Captain Nicholas angel was a lowly marine of the blood angel’s assault company when he and his squad were ambushed on a routine patrol. His squad was killed by a group of blood thirstiers and only he remained. He survived, took his dead sergeants powersword and retreated to warn his captain, for his vox was no longer functioning. Upon arriving at the base of the blood angels operation, a battle was taking place in the hart of the building. He immediately clove through his foes to find his captain. Upon seeing that he was in mortal combat with a blood thirstier, he took up his sword and leaped onto the blood thirstier. He slammed his sword into the daemons neck while unloading his whole clip into its head. He was than thrown of into the wall behind the captain. Than as the caption went for the killing blow, the daemon slashed his ax into the captain’s neck, decapitating the leader of the first company. As he fell, brother angel took up the captain’s shield, and with his combat blade, charged the daemon. The daemon laughed manically as he rammed the ax into the marines shoulder. What would have clove a normal man into two, caught on the marine’s amour, but still buried deep into his flesh. taking the daemons surprise, and turning it into a weapon, captain angel thrust his blade through the underside of the daemons neck and met his sergeants power sword on the other side, as the daemon howled in anguish, he threw himself back into the warp to end his misery, his body falling lifeless to the ground. As Angel fell to his knees in pain, reinforcements arrived to save the beleaguered blood angles. Upon seeing the carnage, Dante, who was leaving the rescue, saw the dead captain ad the body of the blood thirstier, and gave the marine command of the either company for his valor and heroism. He later became captain of the first company for his skills of command. here is his profile. WS BS S T W I A Ld Sv 250 points Captain Nicholas Angel 6 5 4 4 4 5 4 10 2+ Unit Composition: 1 (Unique) Unit Type: Infantry War Gear: Terminator armour; blood hammer; shield of Baal special rules: and they shall know no fear, stubborn, eternal warrior independent character, captain of the first.

captain Angel Posted April 11, 2011 Author Share Posted April 11, 2011 I forgot to add that he is currently serving as advisor for the flesh tearers, hence why captain Karaen is captain of the first Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/227129-blood-angels-special-characters/#findComment-2720576 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Yorei Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 i like both ideas. i think however that if you are going to make up special characters like that, you should also do your own chapter.

captain Angel Posted April 11, 2011 Author Share Posted April 11, 2011 i simply thought that the leader of the sanguinary gaurd and the captain of the first company should get spacial characters. on a side note, are the points vales corect, and if not, what do you think the values should be?

captain Angel Posted April 12, 2011 Author Share Posted April 12, 2011 after a examination by the inquisitor of this thread, i believe that taking the blood glave down to plus one to wound and re-role a single to wound role is more acceptable. i thought that the 2++ save against a single model was not as bad as the Grey Knights nemesis warding stave, which gave it to the whole squad in combat.

Drachnon Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Warding stave gives 2++ to only one model. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/227129-blood-angels-special-characters/#findComment-2721822 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonaides Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 to plus one to wound I hope you actually meant to say +1 to Strength here... There is a difference, and it can be significant.

Brother Nathan Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 yeah not a fan of your first guy. upon reading on the dude i would just use count as dante. probably the easiest and most obvious option really, or even the sanguinator, or astro... as for the second guy, well if he has a 2+, 3++ he dosent need a 2++ on top when he already has eternal warrior. and a str 10 thunder hammer with +1 on the damage roll? and captain of the first rule is meh. sure it gives back the old termy comand squads (extreamly cheaply) but that dosent really allow you to run a first co army which is why id want a first co captain... and personally id prefer a twin lightening claw captain that makes use of furious charge. seems like you want lyslander but havent quite thought out why... also ba stubborn? nah has to be fearless or it aint worth it;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/227129-blood-angels-special-characters/#findComment-2721980 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanir Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 There's already a named captian of the first company in the codex.

captain Angel Posted April 13, 2011 Author Share Posted April 13, 2011 Leonaides: It is plus one strength, made a mistake there. Brother nathan: I wanted to have a special character, where if the banner bearer was the only one left, he would not just run around alone, plus i enjoy the idea of the model of him. the second thing is that captain angel will no longer have the 2++ save, and will give the houner gaurd the option for termi armor at 100 points. also he will be able to have the option to be as he is, vanguard veteran, or sterngaurd veteran load out, which will allow him to take different troops, depending on his gear. Vanir: I have posted that info only higher on the thread, he is currently serving as advisor to the flesh tearers, so is not currently in position as Capitan of the blood angels. This is why captain Karlaen is in charge. watch this thread for updates Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/227129-blood-angels-special-characters/#findComment-2722576 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamaNagol Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Seeing as we don't have just a basic DoA hack n slash, unit buffing SC. Sanguinary Guard Captain: 220pts WS6 BS5 S4 T4 W3 I6 A3 Ld10 Sv2+ Artificer Armour, Frag & Krak, Named Glaive*, Angelus Bolter, Jump Pack, Iron Halo, Named Death Mask* Special Rules: Red Thirst, Descent Of Angels, Independent Character, Avenging Angel* Named Glaive: Counts as a Glaive Encarmine which allways strikes at S5 Named Death Mask: If he, or the unit he is with, win a combat on the turn they assault the overall combat resolution difference is doubled. Avenging Angel: He conveys Fearless onto any unit he joins. In addition if he is attached to a unit of Sanguinary Guard he conveys the Heroic Intervention rule onto the squad. This does not apply if any other Independent Character is also attached to the unit.
