Cool, We've done something like this in our groop as wll, but we have never
actually used them in any games.
I've made a model representing Cypher (or something, the most known fallen
angel) which is actually really cool. GW made some rules for a few of these
chaps, you can find them in the Battles book (Big yellow thing).....
Other than that, I think Logan Grimnar is supposed to be the most powerfull
Warrior in the entire Imperium so you might want to consider increasing his
CAF slightly....????
