Of the IG special characters i only would ever bother with maybe two. First is Nork Deddog. for 55pts (almost a full guard squad however) he can really REALLY beef up your command squad if u want it to be counter assaulty. Imagine a heroic officer with storm bolter and power sword, commisar with same, veteran with same, priest tooled up, three flamers and a pissed-off ogryn. it would cost soooo much but could mangle most units and with a few meltabombs and swop a flamer for a multimelta even mighty land raiders would be sweating.

the second is Sly Marbo, one man army. i rekon he could do some real damage in the right circumstances. However most of the other IG characters seem monsterously over-priced and seem to bring little. if the HQ choices came with attendant staff too then maybe, but by having yarric your paying lots of points and losing a full command squad. thats four less heavy weapons.

thoughts?
