My characters seemed to be having an easy time fighting against Gryne, Ozmyn and the homunculi so decided to throw him in to the same “final fight”. He was a cool monk type enemy and his Avenging Wind scared the heck out of the ranged attackers – Charisma and Heidt. I get to use a non-named version of him in the final adventure – The Divinity Drive – as a “mook” working for Deacon Hope.
I used the same state block for the Blessed Envisioner Surgeon in the Divinity Drive. I changed them to look like the original w40k Engine of Pain they are based on. A bit of DM bait-and-switch.

Eldar’s Sight. Magical darkness doesn’t impede Krimox’s darkvision.
Evasion. If Krimox is subjected to an effect that allows him to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, Krimox instead takes no damage if he succeeds on the saving throw, and only half damage if he fails
Magic Resistance. Krimox’s has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.
Magic Weapons. Krimox’s weapon attacks are magical.
Regeneration. Krimox’ regains 5 hit points at the start of its turn if it has at least 1 hit point.
Surgical Strikes. Krimox’s claws threaten a critical hit on a roll of 19-20. On a successful critical hit, that claw deals 2d6 bleed damage rather than 1d6.
ACTIONS
Multiattack. Krimox’s can use Unnerving Gaze and then makes four claw attacks. He may also use Breath of Life if available.
Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +12 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target.
Hit: 16 (3d6 + 7) slashing damage and the target must make a DC 17 Constitution save or suffer 3 (1d6) ongoing necrotic damage as bloody gashes appear on the target. A character may spend a full turn bandaging the wounds or another character may perform a DC 15 Medicine check to heal the character. Otherwise the bleed affect persists for 1 minute. The bleed affect stacks.
Unnerving Gaze. When a creature Krimox can see starts its turn within 30 feet of it, it gazes at the creature through the chains around its eyes. If the creature can see it, it must succeed on a DC 17 Wisdom saving throw or be frightened until the end of its turn.
Breath of Life (1/day). Krimox can heal himself or another creature for 34 (5d8+14) hit points of damage. This ability also has a secondary affect identical to the revivify spell (if applicable).
REACTIONS
Avenging Wind. Krimox can shadow-step up to 50 ft. adjacent to a ranged attacker when targeted by a range attack. He can then make a single claw attack against the creature.
DESCRIPTION
At the core of this multi-limbed monstrosity of claws and blades struggles a glistening mass of veins, organs, and twisted flesh.
Have you already finished the campaign?
One more adventure left – Divinity Drive then done. But players have gone to Sigil to shop. Or should I say they are trying to get to Sigil.
So running a 2e Planescape module as a “side quest” before they head back in and confront UNITY.
You will see conversion information up soon for that.
