I hate to break it to you; but Tanthus is not a space wolf, he was a Librarian of the the Dark Hands. I know their is a description of a space wolf when he is mentioned in the chamber of the Val-Gaur with the others; but he is not a Rune Priest.

Stats – Tanthus is supposed to be a powerful mid range psyker and so his own stats should be as good as your average Chaos Sorcerer at the very least so his Ballistic Skill should 5.
Corrupted Runic Weapon – Because he is a Psyker I do believe you’re gonna wanna give him a Force Weapon instead of a standard power weapon.
Dark Robe of Warding and Corrupted Icon – Very nice I like them both :victory:
Psyker – You didn’t list down any psykic powers for him even though Fury of the Betrayed could be reflective his psyker ability amplify a Dark Talons units hatred for betrayal as well as his own into some sort of fear aura.
Desire for Vengeance – I don’t think you should use this ability to increase his close combat effectiveness as we already have Master Retrave, Kilm Vanshal and Amendeculus. Instead Desire for Revenge should be more geared towards improving his potential as a mid range psyker.
Fury of the Betrayed – I like it; but I do not believe you should have the must assault enemies within 6” part. He may desire revenge and has hatred for being betrayed as does every Dark Talon; but that doesn’t mean he desires close combat like some mindless Berzerker of Khorne.
Last Thoughts - There is one more thing I must recommend for Tanthus and that is his special psyker power. The purple fire that was used in the history is supposed to be a trait mark power of his; but no one ever cared to establish it and figure that it’s just Wind of Chaos.
Question - So if Tal’Koth was once a space wolf then you may want to read up on the Savage Wolves. You can find information HERE
Basically a few things have happened to those Dark Talons who were once Space Wolves.
Stats – Only 1 wound? Tal’Koth is a lieutenant not a squad leader so he should have two wounds.
Sigma - pattern Bolt Pistol and Wolf-tooth Talisman - Very nice I like them both :victory:
Commanding Voice – Because the Chaos Icons are apart of the Dark Talons you can just give Tal’Koth and the squad Icon of Chaos Glory.
Drill Sergeant – Not bad; but I think a rule like that should be left to the Taskmaster of the Initiates Squad.
Raider - Umm there is no explanation but its listed and cought my interested
I don't wanna sound like some kind of jerk; but I think after Torturer Issatroth we should stop with developing anymore special characters and try to fine tune the rest of the Dark Talons.Otherwise we can move on to Torturer Issatroth and HQ's are done
For Torturer Issatroth I think we should start with his original rules and move on from there. Possible make him somewhat similar to Fabius Bile but with his own twists.
Just click here for his special rules here
Technically that's a yes it would be plagiarism because even close imitation is considered plagiarism.
Now one may need to have a more extensive knowledge of copy right laws in whether they are allowed to do this as there have been cases where one can use that knowledge simply for non-profit activity's.
So technically yes we can just place those very units and special rules in our own Codex with renames and what not. However in the end according the forum rules of Heresy Online we are not allowed to do this so we are going to need special permission by those who run Heresy.
In my personal opinion I believe we should be allowed to do so because one of the intended purposes of the hobby is to expand our creativity and imagination to workout our own minds :training: Plus it kinda defeats the point of creating a personalized Chaos Space Marine force to represent Heresy Online if we can't; but I am just single guest to Heresy Online and my opinion does not outweigh its policies.
So you are just gonna have ask the guys in charge
