Agreed, maybe a 6+/5+ fixed save? Due to small size and resilience.

Captain Cortez
Cortez is one of the most stubborn and resilient of the crimson fists.
Type: Replaces a veteran HQ
Requirement: 3000 points of crimson fists
Model: HQ unit. Add +1 CAF and a 3+ fixed save.
Resilience: Due to his extreme resiliency, Cortez can avoid even things
which kill models outright on a 6+ roll (no modifiers)
-> 3+ Fixed save... a bit potent isn't it?
The fixed 3 up save is a direct copy from 40K 3rd but yeah it is a bit
potent. I works fine in 40K scale were the biggest thing thrown at him will
be a basilisk shell but in Epic it is to good, saving shots from defence
lasers etc with a normal suit of power armour??

Hey guys. I managed to find something I posted to the list a long while
ago,
and which didnt cause too much outrage back then.
Its basically every space marine special char' from 40K that I could think
of...Here goes again:
The idea is that to field a character you must have a certain number of
points in your army. Points "used" to field one character cant be used to
field another.

the universe.

in addition to the normal choice for being a commander. I.E. he could makes
units force march AND change an order, or he could change two orders.
