So what defines a named character then? Is the avatar a named character? Are the Phoenix lords (there's support to say they're not the original lords just dudes in fancy armour)? And on top of that I can guarantee you that the 145 point Solitaire who dies to bolter is not all he's cracked up to be. Aren't you moving?

You should be thanking me then if he's not good. I'm saving you from a poor choice. you're welcome.

You could also take Buzzgob again, just not in the stompa. It'd save you a bunch of painting as you've already got the majority of the Dread Mob Painted!

Any issue with poaching a "named" character's rules in a counts as sense? Word Bearers don't have anyone they can use, so I was thinking on running my Dark Apostle as Cassius from the Ultramarines in a Space Marine CAD to be able to play them.

But in the one vs one battle he had just a lot of haywire attacks doesn't he. So unless someone takes the tank commander guy he would probably loose lol. Sent from my SM-G903W using proboards

He does 1 haywire hit and 2d6 S4 hits at I10, and then has a Power Axe.
He's pretty strong, but given he's the only option for a whole army, I wouldn't want to say "don't bring him".

He also only moves 6" a turn. If anyone brought Pask they could just back up 6" per turn and fire away trying to sneak through some rending shots.
That said, if it's Cawl vs. Shadowsun or a CSM special character, that'd be pretty fantastic. Especially Typhus, he's just a beast in melee, and with Force he'd give Cawl a run for his money.

The thing with him is you’ve got to kill him all in one go as he gains back D3 wounds per turn. T6, FNP and a 2+ save is a tough nut to crack but like Matt said; it’s kind of messed up to say “no” to him and instantly count out all AdMech & Skitarii forces.

cant greyfax and celetstine also be taken as hqs for all of the imperium. yes they won't look the same as the army like he does, but not their only option. (unless im wrong about that part)

You should be thanking me then if he's not good. I'm saving you from a poor choice. you're welcome. Only Issue is that they can run any of the new Eldar Hq's for a CAD, then run 1 solitaire and still go pure Harlies. This is one of the reason I put forward that maybe any "UNIQUE" stamped model could be "named" ex THE AVATAR or THE SOLITAIRE or some other codex unique model. That way people could have some fun in the codex. It was just a suggestion and in no way influences by choices but might help some people run a more fluffy crusade.

(unless im wrong about that part) Yes with the new Eldar and Imperial Triumvirate any of the factions can gain access to a name HQ that can be used to form a CAD.

Yes Celestine or Greyfax could be taken in place of Cawl but I was planning on running Skitarri to offset Cawl (no Grav Servitors or Kastellan Robots.)
