Helias_Tancred Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Hail Brothers! I'm working on a Blood Angels Chapter Champion model. My favorite WH40K character has always been Sigismund (followed closely by Azkaellon). I wanted to create a individual in the current age who is a chapter champion of the Blood Angels. A hero reborn or on the rise that is unique to our glorious chapter. A mighty champion of Baal. My first question is have you done something like this as well at any point of your involvement in this hobby? As long as your opponent or other players are ok, would/could you use this homebrew character in the game? If the Blood Angels were to produce a chapter champion that maybe one day could rival Sigismund or be a Sigismund-like character, what would his stats be? I'm not looking to create some munchkin gaming super character, but one who has extreme skill and talent with the blade and who has left quite a littering of defeated chaos marines, xenos champions, and other such scum ... so I'm thinking stats similar to the Black Templars Emperor's Champion guy? I know he will be wearing artificer armor and his weapon will be a master crafted powerblade (possibly Valour's Edge from our Codex?). I'm using the sergeant torso from the BA tactical squad box along with some nice legs from that set. His sword is a left over encarmine glaive from my second Sanguinary Guard box. I decided to go helmless, but I have a couple left over death mask heads that might look cool red instead of gold? Anyways looking for some experienced feedback and ideas are always appreciated.

Helias_Tancred Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 Under my gallery you will see the body I'm going with, and a second pic showing the heads I'm choosing from. Any input is valued. Thanks. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303930-chapter-champion-homebrew-fluff-lf-feedback/#findComment-3961365 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helias_Tancred Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 Also any cool ideas for a name? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303930-chapter-champion-homebrew-fluff-lf-feedback/#findComment-3961369 Share on other sites More sharing options...
marine7312000 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 For a name perhaps Michael? On the rest, I'd be more than happy to let an opponent do something like this. I would like to say that you can call your non-named characters whatever you want. I see no reason you couldn't use the captain stats from our dex and call him the Chapter Champion.

Dolchiate Remembrancer Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Personally I use dante's rules for what I call my first captain. Not to be mistaken with the captain of the first company. But that's because my chapter master is a chaplain.

Helias_Tancred Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 Red like all the others? Got any suggestions? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303930-chapter-champion-homebrew-fluff-lf-feedback/#findComment-3962018 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Could gold him up, or even black to emulate the OG Emperor's Champ. Maybe if you go red still give him a black sword like the Templars use to signify his position.
