New Custom Characters

[Lazarine]

After a long time lurking in this forum I've decided to see if anyone has any input regarding a few of my custom characters I've been working on. The aim of these guys is just to allow a bit of customisation without breaknig the spirit of the game.

 

---------------------------------------------------------------

 

Samad Nortek is based upon a conversion I did years ago to lead my 30k Word Bearers force. I had converted him to carry a large two-handed mace while reading from the Book of Lorgar. Given his weapon combination I envisage him as a terran champion of the legion, completely faithful to his legion, the men around him and the Emperor. One aim was to have a Word Bearer character of ambiguous alliegence so that I could play against both loyalists and traitors.

  • Samad Nortek, Champion of the Chapter of the Unbroken Lance (140pts)

    Frag and Krak Grenades, Refractor Field, Illuminator

    Honour of the Legion, Independent Character, Legiones Astartes, Paladin of Glory

I have priced him at 140, which is the cost of the character, plus 10 points for choosing a Warlord trait, plus another 10 for adding blind to the mace. Just to be on the safe side I have not deducted any points for the removal of the bolt pistol (removed because the model lacks this).

 

Does he seem fairly priced or should I modify him a bit?
