4/5 stars. The rules are solid, but crying out for a jump pack!
Background.
All the legions have their legends - especially the duelists and close combat brothers. Eidolon and Lucius for the Emperor's Children. Corswain for the Dark Angels. Sigismund for the Imperial Fists. Even the Alpha Legion has something of a duelist in Dynat. Raldoron serves an equal purpose for the Blood Angels and his name is writ large in the annals of the Great Crusade.
Strengths.
WS=7 is strong for a non-primarch named character. The rest of the stat line is very reasonable and praetor levels.
He comes with the Encarmine Warblade which gives AP=2 and a valuable 2 damage with S+1, impact on AM and also critical hitting. This will cause some serious damage.
The has Archein of Wisdom which enables him to learn from his enemies (as a gambit). This gives you a bonus for your focus roll equivalent to the number of successful hits made against you last strike step. This is very nice for taking the focus win!
Weaknesses.
Not many realistically for what you are getting here. I would recommend a transport solution since he sadly doesn't come with a jump pack and this is the biggest negative here.
Overall.
Very reasonable for the points cost!
