DIY Chapter Homebrew bits

[ShasVa]

These are special characters and unique things for my DIY chapter, currently known as the Protectors (name MAY change).

Help with estimated points costs would be appreciated.

Forgemaster Daelo

WS4 BS5 S4 T5 W2 I4 A2 LD10 SV2+

Unit Type: Infantry (Character)

Wargear:

• The Destructor: Melee, +1 Strength, AP1, Master-Crafted, Armourbane, Unwieldy

• Machinator Array: Adds +1 Toughness (already included in profile), confers the Night Vision special rule, carries a Flamer and a Melta Pistol, adds +2 to Blessing of the Omnissiah attempts, and has the following profile for close-combat: Melee, +1 Strength, AP2, Unwieldy, Shred, Armourbane

Special Rules:

• Independent Character, Combat Tactics, Blessing of the Omnissiah, Bolster Defences, Lord of the Armoury
• Steel Will: Daelo's mind is more machine than organic now, so he benefits from the Fearless special rule.

 

• No, you're reading it right. Daelo is meant to have Terminator Armour! He is the brilliant-minded Forgemaster of the Protectors, bordering (or falling right into) "techno-savantism". His Destructor weapon is a product of his studying a recovered Necron Warscythe, and his gun is a recovered archeotech. The Machinator Array is a gift from the AdMech for his exceptional skill with technology.
• The stats for Haedean and Marrad came from the DA Interrogator Chaplain and Ezekiel stats, respectively.
• Guardian Knights are a fusion (of-sorts) of Deathwing Knights and GK Paladins.
