I have no idea what kind of pistol to give him, since I haven't, so far, found rules for Arc or Phospor Blast pistols.

What's the story?
The rules look fine for what they are, but why are they rolling together, what's the mission etc.?

Corvidian

I have yet to decide that. As previously stated, they might be an NPC warband I control as the GM for a campaign. I have been considering making them all hereteks, and I've also been considering the Dominus try to awaken a rogue Knight or even titan. This thread is mostly for discussing their equipment and viability.

Hey,

I'm not familiar with AdMech models like I said, but purely from a visual perspective, how come these electro-priests count as having Flak armour on abdomen and chest?
If it's because of what is attached on their backs, make it only count as Flak armour if they are shot at from the back. This is in line with the rules I've seen given for Krieger "Krash" Thrax. You can find them in the PDF on ChronoGladiators.

Also, have you yet thought of stats for them beyond their equipment and abilities? The stats for my heretek will be loosely based on those of Delphan Gruss, even though Gruss is fearsome and tough when compared with the average humanoid stats of techpriests and magi in the rulebook. Although in the case of my heretek it stands to reason, as a dark alchemist and flesh-melder, he is known for his very "hands-on approach" to his art (and dealing with uncooperative subjects upclose and professional), as well as constantly experimenting on other creatures as much as the genetically "enhanced" flesh he has left to play with beneath his robes.

Corvidian

Yeah, the Electro-Priests might indeed just have armour when shot from the back, so I might remedy that.

Nah, no stats yet, though I'll use both the stats in Explorator Warbands and common sense based on the core book.

I love the idea of your heretek, very gruesome and fitting for 40k. Reminds me a bit of the Biophagus, regarding gene-testing.

FierceDefence

Good man.

Yeah, he's pretty much a psychotic cybernetic Mengele.

But there is in fact a lot of directions his backstory, tribulations and objectives could take.

More so than merely another cliché mad scientist trying to sustain his own life or on a quest to create the ultimate übermensch. Mind you, these are common preoccupations of any mad scientist worth its salt.

I'm happy to have just receive the model for him along with Krieger Thrax and other bits.

Unfortunately, I still don't have the parts sourced from Fabius Bile yet.

Corvidian

I do love the whole Mengele approach to creating super humans without any regards for their test subjects's lives or well-being. Only one thing matters: Results.

The Kriegar Thrax model is beautiful, and I definitely want to lay my hands on one of those models. Perhaps to convert into an ork warboss or such.

I'll keep my eyes peeled for your thread.

FierceDefence

Well, I received most of him now, so you can see this nasty piece of work take physical form hehe. Although, I don't quite have all the parts I've ordered to finish him. Missing the Fabius Bile parts and Lucius the Eternal pack.
