ChaosLord Leon Enaek Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Hey guys, just finishing off my chaos marines and so I thought I might start work on a small Iron Snakes army. Here's my first draft of Hero-Captain Phobor from the omnibus, please let me know what you think :eek Hero-Captain Phobor COST: 175 Points WS: 6 BS: 5 S: 4 T: 4 W: 3 I: 5 A: 4 Ld: 10 Sv: 3+ Wargear: -Power Armour -Blade of Phobor -Frag & Krak Grenades -Storm Shield Special Rules: -And They Shall Know No Fear -Combat Tactics -Independant Character -With My Shield Or On It Blade of Phobor: -Master-Crafted Power Weapon. In addition, in any turn that Phobor assaults the twin aspects of the quality of the blade and his own prostigious strength grant him the Rending Special Rule. With My Shield Or On It: -When reduced to 1 Wound Phobor gains the Furious Charge and Feel No Pain Special Rules.

spartan249 Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 This guy's almost stock. I don't think you'll have any trouble playing with him. A little too simple to warrant home-made rules though. If you want to play Iron Hands though, Codex: Iron Hands is always available.

ChaosLord Leon Enaek Posted June 5, 2011 Author Share Posted June 5, 2011 Aha, meant Iron Snakes, sorry ;) (stupid iPod). I agree, but I wanted to start conservative and work my way up until we reached a character that the community thought was worth the effort of having his own rules whilst remaining balanced. Any suggestions on what futher spice to give him? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/231390-hero-captain-phobor/#findComment-2783197 Share on other sites More sharing options...
spartan249 Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Let your creativity go wild. At this point, you need to extend yourself and create something you think is totally awesome, then trim it down to a playable level. If you just want to stay faithful to the source material, then review everything written about him and write up the character based on your judgements of his abilities.

ChaosLord Leon Enaek Posted June 7, 2011 Author Share Posted June 7, 2011 Edited the first post- let me know how you're all finding the changes <_< Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/231390-hero-captain-phobor/#findComment-2785179 Share on other sites More sharing options...
spartan249 Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 I think you should just make the sword a MC Relic Blade. The power weapon part is wasted because of the storm shield, so it only makes sense to have a relic blade instead. Also, his last rule's a bit too flaccid. Just give him straight on Furious Charge. I don't know about Feel no Pain, but at least Furious Charge. This way, he feels like he's worth 175 points as he'll be pulling out 5 S7 I6 attacks.

ChaosLord Leon Enaek Posted June 7, 2011 Author Share Posted June 7, 2011 Sorry but why is the power sword wasted? It's only a one-handed weapon and so I can still use the storm shield but if I give him a relic blade doesn't that mean I can only use the storm shield against ranged attacks? However the point about Furious Charge is a good one, thank you ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/231390-hero-captain-phobor/#findComment-2785397 Share on other sites More sharing options...
spartan249 Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 The storm shield grants him a 3+ invulnerable save. Doesn't matter what weapon you're using, you get it. However, you can never gain an extra attack for two close combat weapons, which is the point.
