I like the idea but find it to be a little too powerful, you basically 
get 12 points to become harrowed (which is very difficult
to become otherwise), albeit with the extra veteran disadvatanges. 
I would probably throw in that you have to pick a few of those 
nasty harrowed hindrances to become harrowed this way, or
raise the cost a bit (say 8 points) so that the player don't get a lot 
of freebie points, yet another alternative is require them to take the
veteran edge without giving them any points for it...

I have nothing to add to the marshalls only section of the post, 
I like it the way it is.
