First off, here's my Nihilus custom that I'm talking about


Darth Nihilus, Dark Lord of Hunger Cost:
65 Faction: Sith
Hit Points: 150
Defense: 22
Attack: 13
Damage: 20

Rarity: Very Rare
Base: Medium

Special Abilities
Unique
Melee Attack (Can attack only adjacent enemies)
Double Attack (On his turn, this character can make 1 extra attack instead of moving)
Dark Armor (Whenever this character takes damage, he reduces the damage dealt by 10 with a save of 11. Attacks with lightsabers ignore this special ability.)
Affinity (A character whose name contains Visas Marr may be in your squad regardless of faction.)

Force Powers
Force 2
Force Renewal 2 (This character gets 2 Force points each time he activates)
Pawn of the Dark Side (Force 1, replaces attacks: sight; 1 non-Unique ally takes an immediate turn, which does not count as one of your 2 activations this phase; at the end of that turn, it takes 10 damage)
Sith Hunger (Force 1, replaces attacks: range 6; 20 damage to target living enemy, and remove 20 damage from this character. If the target has Force points remaining, transfer 1 Force point from the target to this character.)
The Hunger of Nihilus (Force 5, replaces turn; 40 damage to all living characters within 6 squares; save 11 to reduce damage to 20. This character gains 10 Hit Points for each enemy that is defeated by this effect. If any Force-users are defeated by this effect, this character absorbs any and all Force points the defeated Force-users may have had prior to defeat. This Force power cannot be cancelled.)
Drain Life 1 (Force 1, usable only on this character's turn: range 6; 10 damage to target living enemy, and remove 10 damage from this character; save 11)

"He is a wound in the Force, more presence than flesh, and in his wake life dies… sacrificing itself to his hunger." ―Visas Marr


A few days after I made that, I got the idea to make a custo of his Force slaves (Today, )
Slave of Nihilus Cost: 8 Faction: Sith
Hit Points: 10
Defense: 14
Attack: 7
Damage: 10
Rarity: Common
Base: Medium


Special Abilities
Opportunist (+4 Attack and +10 Damage against an enemy who has activated this round)
Thrall (This character may be targeted by Special abilities and Force powers of allies regardless of whether the Special Abilities or Force powers can only target enemies.)
Rapport (Costs 1 less when in the same squad as a character whose name contains Nihilus)

Force Powers
Force 1
Sith Rage (Force 1: +10 Damage on all attacks this turn)

Darth Nihilus' mere presence gradually turns all those around him into mindless slaves of the dark side.


The synergies here are obvious...might be overpowered. I'm not sure. I wanted to get some feedback on him before trying him out with these guys in a real game.

Right on all points!
I changed the wording around on VoN to make it more clear, but I'm not sure it actually succeeds.

@all, forgot to mention that HoN is based on surf's Voice of Nihilus Force power! I've said it just about everywhere else possible haha and it slipped my mind.

Personally I find Thrall to be a bit problematic as is. I think it'd be more effective on nihilus where he could target any ally he wished (possibly limited to non-uniques) rather than a non-unique that can be attacked by any ally. That said I would suggest wording it along the lines "this character may be targetted by Special abilities, and force powers of allies" as actually counting them as enemies has some major ramifications you'd really want to avoid.

That does bring up another issue- Nihilus now can't affect them with HoN.
