I'm taking a mini-break from my Dark Eldar Codex due to upcoming exams, so I wanted to do something quick and sweet. Inspired by Mkerr's Movie Marine update, here's my vision of a Chapter Master:
The movie army is often commanded by a powerful figure who hardly ever shows up on a battlefield. However, during a final battle he may lead from the front, often showing off immense combat prowess, howver he never seems to beat the grizzled protagonist to inflicting the coup de grace.
0-1 SPACE MARINE CHAPTER MASTER-500 points.
WS--BS--S--T--W--I--A--Ld--Sv
10--9--6--6--5--8--6--10--2+
Wargear: Legion Relic, Iron Halo, Bolter, Bolt Pistol, Frag Grenades, Krak Grenades, Auto-Senses, Power Armour
Iron Halo- Grants the ability to re-roll the Invulnerable Save given by Power Armour
Legion Relic- Chapter Masters carry ages-old superweapons from before the dawn of time. A Legion Relic makes the Chapter Master attack at S10, and ignores Armour AND Invulnerable Saves.
Options: The Chapter Master may exchange his bolter for a Combi-Weapon at +80 points for a Combi-Flamer, +90 points for a Combi-Melta and +120 points for a Combi-Plasma. A Combi-Weapon may fire twice in the Shooting Phase, once as a Bolter and once as whatever weapon is bolted on to it. You may select different targets.
Rules: Force of One, Fleet, Move Through Cover, God of War, Eternal Warrior, Supreme Leader, Fire On These Co-Ordinates!
God of War: The Chapter Master and any squads with line of sight to him may choose to pass or fail Leadership Checks.
Supreme Leader: An army containing a Chapter Master need not include a Sergeant (he's handed in his badge and the Master is in charge now.)
Fire On These Co-Ordinates!: Once per game a Chapter Master may initiate an immense orbital barrage. Place a Large Blast template over up to 5 enemy units and roll for Scatter, with no modifier from the Master's BS. The Blast is S10, AP1, Lance.
