I'll start off by saying I don't know how popular home-brewed rules are around these parts. I haven't seen many threads on the subject. Rules design has always been an aspect of the war gaming hobby that I enjoy. Hopefully it;s not too taboo.
The idea is based on a model from Studio McVey. Specifically, Ruby.
I fell in love with the model the first time I saw it, but it didn't fit in with any of the wargames I was playing at the time. Well, myself and the entire gaming group I play with thinks it would fit perfectly with my budding Ortega gang, so I went ahead and snapped one up. I've searched to see if the idea had been brought up before, but the closest I could find was the idea to use the model as a stand in for Perdita.
Now comes about making a balanced set of rules and a stat card. Here's my proposal, which will be the first draft, I'm sure:
Rubia Ortega & Diablo:
-10 Soulstones
-Unique

So that's it for now. I'm eager for your opinions and criticisms.
