Why don't we have one? If we did, what powers would you give him?

Do not use the Goto books as any indication of his/her existence and what it might actually be; they have been all but stricken from canon.

I haven't used warp spiders before but i was thinking if he were with spiders they don't mishap and o think they can only make one jump or something and cant thrust move it something? They can do it if the lord is with them

I think he would likely just allow his unit to deep strike T1 or T2 without scatter.

He would have AP3 powerblades, and a twin-linked AP2 death spinner. Plasma grenades too, if you're really lucky.

Iron Discipline is kind of useless, as he would be fearless, so he would have an ability that works in challenges instead, like gains Shred in first round of challenge, etc.

The other one that would be great is a Shining Spear phoenix lord:

star lance, hit & run, and allows spears to charge on the turn they outflank. Bam!

Ideally he would have plasma grenades too, but here's to hoping.

I have some recent threads in the Forge that address both the Spider and Spear Phoenix Lords.  The spider one is out of date now as she was designed for the 6th edition book, but I basically gave her a personal geller field to help protect against warp jump accidents and a torrent death spinner plus some nifty power blades that teleported chunks of people into the warp and left them there.

Haha that sounds suitably epic!

None of those links in your sig worked for me unfortunately :(

How about the Shining Spear PL?

Ah, the return of the WS PL and SS PL saga. This has been kicked so much in the past. I remember way back when I was waiting for one to be released and waited.....waited.. ..then the fluff was revealed, none for them.

BTW, I like what you came up with.

Check the first page of the Forge. :)

@dread: Thanks!  And we actually have a GW-canon name for the SSpears PL.  He or she is named "drastanta."

It was mentioned in the Iyanden Book/Supplement.
This is where Death rejoices, as he teaches the living.
