Harbinger of Chaos
Eris the Seeker has been tasked with scouting locations looking for signs of possible resting-places for the Artifacts of Salmora. In addition to this he will usually be the spearhead of any planetary assault that the Soul Reapers launch. He will seek out enemy formations and possible landing sites then transmit them to the fleet. Once his task is done he’ll lay in wait until the battle is enemy is fully committed to the encounter, only then does he rush in on some weak point in the enemy battle line.

Outflank: Eris grants any unit of bikes that he joins the ability to Outflank.
Spiky death: When charging the bike generates +1D6 attacks at S4 in addition to the attacks of the rider. These additional attacks are due to the spikes and blades on the bike slamming into the target unit and do not benefit from any enhancements the rider may have.
Seeker: Eris is responsible for scouting out the possible resting places of the Artifacts of Salmora. To aid in this task he makes great use of Chaos bikers. One unit of Chaos bikers may be taken as a Troops choice if the Soul Reapers force includes Eris the Seeker
Looks like a great character.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of outflanking bikes. However, this added to the Seeker Bike Squads give you alot of outflanking units. As you are writing a mini-dex, why not drop regular Chosen from the list and replace them with the Seeker Bike Squad, and then having Eris will allow you to outflank a regular bike squad.
It would keep the army in balance, and you could then give the Seeker Bike Squads a few more upgrade options as they would be replacing the option heavy chosen.
The Seekers have been dropped from the project, they were just too expensive for what they did. We're just make the Infernal Assault bike an upgrade to the regular Chaos biker squad.
ReplyDeleteIt just feels more natural to have the outflanking ability tied to a Character model.
Thanks agian for the feedback.
