[Master Scout]: Deremiis benefits from the following special rules (Scout, Infiltrate, Acute Senses, Move Through Cover, Stealth). Additionally, he cannot join any unit of Space Marines - he prefers to be a "lone wolf" and hunt alone.

[Deadshot]: Such is his sniper skill that any wounds caused by his shooting are always allocated by Deremiis' controlling player.

 

Btw I'm not that good with estimating points costs, sorry.

[Raven Angel]

The chaplin needs his rosarius and you need to justify the 3++ save on the CM's TDA. Not really sure about the other rules as I'm not used to having overpowered SPecial Characters to use being a DA player.

Velen does have a Risarius in his wargear list. You may have missed it.

 

There is a reason for Adamas' TDA having a 3++ save. Fluff-wise, the armour had Storm Shield plates integrated into the main suit, so as to provide the same level of protection but freeing up one of the wearer's hands (in this case, so Adamas can wield both of his weapons). Game-wise, this is why he has a 2+ and 3++ save.

[Chengar Qordath]

So far I'm not seeing anything that really jumps out at me as horribly overpowered. However, most of the characters seem a bit on the bland side; giving them one or two special rules that change how they/an attached unit/the whole army works instead of mostly sticking to "my sword/gun/armor is good" types of rules would be nice.
