Hi. I'm a new-ish GM, and so far the Campaign I have going is pretty swell. I've been thinking ahead about the Final Boss I wanted to throw at the players.
In the campaign, the Alpha Legion are planning to open up a string of warp rifts along the Jericho Reach using ancient xenos technology. I thought about throwing a Lord of Change at the group as a Final Boss, but then I thought by that point, the threat may be difficult but not very challenging for the group to handle.
So, using the rules for a Lord of Change, I created a profile for Aetaos'Rau'Keres, and wondered if I could get some constructive criticism. My main concern is if it would be impossible to face for a group of 6 that would be around Rank 6-8.

Special Rules
Master of Plotters: All Daemons of Tzeentch are master schemers, their very essence a primal form of deceit and treachery, and the Lords of Change are the greatest masterminds of all. No matter the circumstances, a Lord of Change is always ready to turn the tables on its adversaries. Once per combat, the Lord of Change may add his Intelligence Bonus to any one Test.
Supreme Sorcerer: Aetaos’Rau’Keres knows all Psychic Powers from the Deathwatch Rulebook, Black Crusade Rulebook, and the Mark of Xenos Supplement (as appropriate) and may use them as if it had a Psy Rating of 10. Aetaos’Rau’Keres does not trigger any psychic phenomena.
Spawn of Fate: Lords of Change are the architects of destiny itself, capable of weaving together or severing the very strands of fate. Though a Lord of Change does not have access to Fate Points, whenever anyone in combat with one spends a Fate Point, the Lord of Change regains 1d10 lost Wounds. However, when an individual is forced to permanently burn a Fate Point in the presence of a Lord of Change, the Greater Daemon immediately suffers 2d10 wounds ignoring Toughness.
Chosen of Tzeentch: Aetaos’Rau’Keres has a force field of 50 that does not overload.
Riftbringer: At the end of every round, roll a 2d10. On a 16+, a unit of 2d10 Pink Horrors immediately spawn within 30 meters of Aetaos’Rau’Keres.
Soul Eater: This insane Demigod has a continual hunger for souls, which he satisfies in combat. Aetaos’Rau’Keres regenerates wounds equal to the number of wounds he inflicted per Round, after his turn is over.
