following recent codexs i was thinking of a new mission / mini campaign for my death watch players

Hunting arch heretic Mattius Wardous

this herectic infiltrated the highest levels of power in the Lords of Terra with the plan to rewrite (badly) History and change whole events and imperial creed and cannon. Due to a popular uprising he fled into the Jericho Reach with a small body guard of renegede ultramarines which has proved the best wargear possible for

I was thinking of making him a chaos sorceror with special powers to corrupt and ward marines , buff his own bodyguard and write history in the minds of those he encounters, with the limitation that after a week or so reality dawns on those affected and they start to see the inconsistancies and false hoods among his altered histories?

any ideas on how i could develop this

Yeah: You could let me play!

Sure you don't want him to be accompanied by a flying BA dreadnought and a bunch of its necron friends?

I'm in, but only if I get to play a Smurf.

...

After all, they're THE BEST OF THE BEST!!!

I love the idea, use everything he's written for him in a first time (like, launching Radical Death Company Librarian Dreadnoughts against PCs...), then allow the PCs to turn it against him. That would feel suitably epic, and well-deserved

I just stumbled on this thread! I love this idea, did you ever run it?

I imagine anyone that plays with 4th Edition Space Marine codexes gets Favored Enemy (Mattius Wardous)? xD

(And I'm in if you ever run it online xD)
