Build-a-hero, Part 2

1. Total up the points cost of your character that you made from Part 1 of the exercise. If you haven't done so yet, feel free to make a character so you can join us in part 2!
http://www.thedarkcity.net/t3751-who-will-you-be-build-a-hero

2. Now here's the fun part:

See where you fit under this makeshift table:

Lord-class character (characters with 3 wounds)
Libby-class character (characters with 2 wounds)
Sergeant-class character (characters with 1 wound)

3. Know what character you are? Good. Time to add some skills.

What skills? Any skills currently available in the 6th Ed. BRB, any FW 40K-approved publication, or any current GW Codex.
The only kicker is that you MUST cite your source!

How many can you add?
Max of 3 for a Lord-class character.
Max of 2 for a Libby-class character.
Max of 1 for a Sergeant-class character.

How much do they cost?
20 (Lord)/15 (Libby)/10 (Sergeant) for an ability
15/10/5 for each USR (counts as ability) from the BRB

Example:
-My Wolf Lord comes out to 225 points without any skills.
-He can take up to 3 abilities being a Lord-class character.
-I want him to have Fearless and Rage from the BRB. Each USR costs 15 on a Lord-class character so that will add +30 points to his cost.
-I also want him to have Inspiring Presence (Pedro Kantor's ability from Codex Space Marines). This will add 20 points for the ability.

In total, my custom Wolf Lord comes out to 275.

Is he worth it? Stay tuned for Part 3 of the exercise to find out!

FAQs:
Want to make your character truly unique? You're gonna have to wait for Part 3!

What if the character would have 4+ wounds? Like say, a Hive Tyrant?

looks like the abilities cost 5+(5*wounds) and the usr would cost 5*wounds. you could have 1 rule for each wound.

Wych Posts : 731 Join date : 2012-02-18 Location : WayX

Well, also things like "Hive Commander" and "Old Adversary" or even making a demon prince a prince of tzeentch. Should things like that be added in as a rule, or should they be added in to the model?
