The Bishop of Metallica40K3 conversion by Tom and Erik Setzer; Based on 40K2 background and rules by Mike Freeman In the Sisters of Battle codex, if you look at those pictures of all the different Ecclesiarchy characters, you'll see the picture of the Bishop of Metallica. Being a Metallica fan myself, I can't in good concience pass up the oppurtunity to make him up. If you're into heavy metal, you'll get his wargear and other stuff. The Bishop of Metallica is easily one of the Ecclesiarchy's most famous and dreaded warriors. His battle record is long and full of glory, and his power and faith without match. The members of the Imperial forces look to him and see one of the Emperor's most chosen. One of his greater accomplishments came at Galyman 3, when he defeated and his loyal legion of followers a huge legion of Slaanesh, led by the infamous team of Daemonettes, the Spice Girlz. From one of the ruined Noise Marines he took a sonic guitar cannon, which he uses to sound righteous music to smite the foe. Few can wistand his fury and survive. His power, they say, is only passed by that of the original Bishop of Metallica, known as Hapheastus Hetfield. The Bishop is a mysterious ranger, no one really knows who he really is. They do know he is one of the blessed sons of the Emperor, and the forces of the Imperium will follow him wherever he goes. The Bishop may be taken by any Imperial army, and may lead it if you wish.
Weapons: Bolt Pistol, Chainsword, The Axe of the Righteous Psyker: The Bishop is an adept psyker, and has the psychic powers listed below. Wargear The Axe of the Righteous Hetfield Grail
