i'm a new warhammer player and i have no clue in how to make special characters, i love the idea (when seeing "king phesphestus, the scorpion lord) but need some help. i was thinking he should be a tomb guard sort of guy(working very well with tomb guard, like a 'my will be done' that works with tomb guard etc). i think he should have better stats than a tomb king(being battling in the pits all his life), also i think he should work in the tomb guard regiment.

In a Tomb kings army nothing is tougher to kill them a Tomb king.

Though if your going to make a special character, here is what to do.

1. Give him a name and Background
2. Make stats and give him equipment
3. Convert and paint the model
4. Playtest him and make sure he/she isn't to powerfull.

All of this and it can be done, though if you make him an uber character no one would allow you to use him/her, though good luck on your creation and if you have a moment, have a look in the Model and converversion sub forum (sp) and look at the Characters everyone has submitted into the forums, under the name of Special character compertition(sp)
