Default Heroes of Vengeance [Space Marine Characters]

Right, I've decided I am finally going to get a cohesive list of characters done for my Chapter!

A full Codex may follow... but for now the characters will do. They are designed with the Blood / Dark Angels formatting in mind (which is infinately superior to Vanilla), so may not be 100% balanced in a "standard" Codex army.

More fluff will follow for them, obviously.

Chapter Master McDonnell 260 Points/Model
Third Chapter Master of Vengeance, McDonnell is one of the chosen few who remain from the fabled world of Niabol Prime. Two Dozen aspirants were brought successfully into the ranks of the Astartes from that cold, unforgiving world, and each one became a living legend within the Chapter.
McDonnell has commanded his Chapter through some of its darkest times, and its finest moments. Though it is rare for him to take to the field, when he does so he carries with him the most potent weapons of the Vault, and leads his battle-hardened Companies into the fray. Perhaps what makes this warrior so terrifying is the knowledge that you face not only him, but the wrath of an entire Chapter of Marines, and the firepower of their Space-Hulk Monestary, Colossus; a foe no enemy has ever faced without tasting bitter defeat.

[/td]
[/tr][/table]

Avenger - The Emperor's Fire: Taken from the sacred monestary of St Cyrulle, Avenger has been carried into battle by McDonnell since it was first recovered, and as he rose through the Chapter his skill with the weapon increased. It was Avenger that smote the Daemon-Governor of Shamoc Tertius, it was Avenger that burned the Witches of Station Epsilon-4, and Avenger that, time and again, brings the Emperor's wrath to distant enemies of mankind.
Avenger is a Master Crafted Plasma Gun. In addition, it will only overheat on a roll of 1, even when Rapid Firing.

Damnatus - The Sword of Vengeance:
Found locked within the Vault upon the discovery of Colossus, this ancient blade predates the Imperium itself. The first Chapter Master of Vengeance took up this sword as his own, and since that day it has been a symbol of office for the Chapter.
Damnatus functions as a Master Crafted Lightning Claw. In addition, it adds +1 Str to the user. Note that like the Lightning Claw, Damnatus does not grant the user +1 Attack when used with a Bolt Pistol or another Close Combat weapon.
Vindictus - The Armour of Vengeance:
Forged for Chapter Master Damocles by the Tech-Priests of Ryza, Vindictus is one of the finest examples of Power Armour in the Imperium.
Vindictus grants the Chapter Master a 2+ Armour Save.
Master of Vengeance:
McDonnell is Fearless. He grants this ability to any squad he leads.
Fail Not The Emperor:
The first time McDonnell suffers a wound from a Double Toughness weapon, he takes a single wound rather than suffering Instant Death. Any subsequent Double Toughness wounds suffered will cause Instant Death as normal.
