Vraesque Malidrach custom rules

Hey guys Ive been building a 10k force of Dark Eldar for a super massive apoc game my community will be having come April.

I really like vraesque and the Kabal of the flayed skull and since the organizer allows a few custom rules I decided I would attempt some basic rules for him. I figured with the background of his speari could give him a "power lance" with fleshbane for the price of the husk blade, and as his background is in the wych cults and reaver jet bikes I figured his statline would possibly be more like a Succubus. But as an archon he would have access to the same tools they do.


So in short would it be too out of the question to give him a Succubus statline, at the Succubus stay cost, the spear for the price of the husk blade, and kit him further from the Archon tool box?

Doesn't sound OP to me, and rather reasonable. Thoughts?

Sounds fairly reasonable yeah.

A Succubus with a 2+invulnerable, Archite Glaive and a Soul-trap sounds rather nasty though so I'd suggest that if they have access to the Archon's gear then they lose access to any of the Succubus gear.

Oh of course I wouldn't allow him to have Succubus gear, although his personal spear does need to be thought of

I think denying him the shadow field could balance if his spear were a glaive. Or keep the field and give it an improved power lance stat line. Ap3 but ap2 on the charge.

Honestly, I think the Archon's statline would suit him better. Malidrach was just a Reaver after all. He most likely isn't on a Succubus's skill level in ground combat.

A Power Lance seems like the best way to represent his spear to me, but it could use a special rule. Rending maybe.

Also, I would equip his jetbike with a Blaster. Seems fitting, as his model in the studio army carries a Blast Pistol.
