Lord Rhynus the Viral (DG)

*sniff*

[Navaren]

I wish there were more BoLS DG special characters. Lord Rhynus is a great name, but his fecundity hasn't spread far enough. He needs some sick buddies

[Bigred]

I think we really need a named Foul Blightspawn - "The Organgrinder"

Get it...?


Just like this - but nurgly - and it's his guts...

I think that pun gave me total organ failure...

Also in the vein of bad puns and BoLS rules

For Lord Rhynus,

"Blight of the Nurglebees" At the beginning of the fight phase the Closest enemy unit to Lord Rhynis the Viral takes d3 mortal wounds on a 5+.

A tireless scion of the Plaugefather Lord Rhynus has been gifted with his own plaguehost, although his strain of the destroyer virus is not nearly as fast-spreading as First Captain Typus's vector.

Its a single target version of the Mort fight phase ability.

Abe and JR insist that Emperor's Children Lord Abraxis and Sorceror Scorpius be purchased as a set (like Creed and Kell), and that Scorpius has the special rule
OOPS: Scorpius MUST immediately fire his ranged weapons at Lord Abraxis , if Abraxis is reduced to one wound.

For sake of keeping all our special stuff together...

Captain Ollivander and Blade of Bees

The Blade of Bees is an ancient relic recovered by Captain Ollivander. This sword if made out of a strange crystalline material of unknown provenance. Though honeycombed with small chambers the blade is light and exceedingly sharp. The blade is also home to a hive of strange bee like creatures, though if they are living or mechanical is unknown. At a thought from the wielder of the blade the bees fly forth and wreak havoc among any target. When first recovered there was debate over wither the blade should be used or destroyed as all corrupted xenos artifacts should be. The debate was solved when it was noted that the markings on the back of each “bee” bore a striking resemblance to the Imperial Aquila.

Melee S: +2 AP: -3 D: d3
Ranged, Range: 8″ Type: Assault D6 S:5 AP: -1 D:1 Special: This attack automatically hits it target.

Would you be open to campaign ideas as well as ideas for wargear, maybe?

I mean, you can suggest anything you want.

lol that's true... but I don't really want to wear my fingers out typing my [URL="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZd_OxdgmOg"]magnum campaign opus[/URL] if the answer is, "Sorry guy, Abe has that side of things covered."

Still, with your excellent encouragement in mind:
