Trait: Strength no matter the form

Many space marine chapters utilize Librarians in their combat tactics. But for some reason, some chapters have a higher number of marines with the psychic gene then others. At a cost of +10 pts per model in a squad, tactical squads, and Veteran Squads may replace Sergeants with Librarian Nexiums as detailed below.

Weapons: A Nexium is armed with a Power Weapon and wears a Psychic hood.

Options: The Nexium may be given Terminator Honors for +15 points. If given terminator Honors, he may select additional Equipment from the Space Marine armory.

Psychic Power: The Nexium has the power “Storm of the Emperor’s Wrath” as described in Codex: Space Marines

In additional, any squad lead by a Nexium benefits from a +1 WS.



This trait came to me out an article in White Dwarf. I forget which issue it was now, but a staff member was doing a Space Marine chapter that, in the fluff anyways, had more librarians then normal. I wanted a way to put that on the board. But having four top level Libies running around? Um, can we say uber broken?!?! I wasn't sure how to deal with it till one day I was flipping through the old 3rd Edition Space marine codex, and I read the Librarian entry. There were three levels of librarian. So I thought about making a new unit that was a squad leader, and a low level librarian. Presto! Librarian Nexium was born.
