But you have created a different model with regeneration and archmage. Those have to cost something.

 

Why not have a grot priest, choose the 12" ward save aura, improv weapon, put 5 points into bravery  and make it inspiring so everyone can roll v bravery of 9. Thats 9dp/90 points of very useful grot. 

Nice idea!

After a few more attempts in creating several heroes and understanding the system better, I must say I panicked about the cost a bit too early. I played my first game yesterday with two custom made heroes and it was great fun and balanced. Like your example, it's actually amazing to get a support character in your army, where I was first focussing to much on damage output and survivability. 

This is the "Child of Light" I used for my Realmlord's army yesterday.  (18DP / 180 points)

I was having fun creating all those heroes that have been stuck in my head for some time... then I started to notice something. These custom made heroes are damn expensive. 😮 Like almost twice as expensive as an original hero .

anyway, my creation: 

Grot wizard

Grot: 3DP
Wizard (Free): 1 cast / 1 unbind
weapon 1: Axe = 1DP
weapon 2: improvised = 0 DP
Consumate commander= 5DP

Ward= 3DP
Regenerate=3DP
Archmage = 3DP

Move: 5 inch
Bravery: 4
Wounds: 4
Save 6+

Weapon 1: 3 attacks 4+ to hit 3+ to wound rend -1 damage 1
Weapon 2: 3 attacks 4+ to hit 4+ to wound rend 0 damage 1

18 DP = 180 points. 

A "normal" Fungoid cave shaman comes at 90 ptn. 

While my custom hero still feels cool, my army would be better off with 2x Fungoid cave shamans. 😛 
Anyone else feels bummed out too by this?
Or am I missing something? 

Ps:

I also recreated the light of eltharion, because it's awesome! I came at a whopping 47 dp  That's 470 points to try and try to recreate a model that's 220 points.  I was trying to make a grot version of the light of eltharion... "The Nightlamp of Skarsnik."
