I'm wondering do you think that any of the characters that have dissapeared or was written out and you would either like to see them back or just explain why you liked the character.
Personaly for me it would have to be cypher the fallen angel.The reason I like him so much was his fluff (or the lack of it ) but the rules he had were also godd and the model is still for sale on the GW website (and I think he looks really cool the way he is posed)

Bel'Akor the Dark Master. He is still a really cool model. He makes anual apperiances across where I play as daemon princes of different kinds. Now if only he had his rules back.

I would go with cypher as well. I wanted to stick him with an IG army and use him against Death watch termies. To think I would've gone to the chaos side for just 1 guy.

But I couldn't get both his pack and sword to stick so I removed his pack and tried to get rid of the stub on his back that you attached the pack to.

Then they came for the online sellers, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they quit running Grand Tournaments, and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant.

Russ: Ah well. Now to go kill Horus. Russ: Rowboat, how have you not been doing anything? Guilliman: . . . I've been writing a book. Russ: Sigh. Let's go. Guilliman: And I fought the Word Bearers! Horus: Oh shi--Spess Puppies a'comin? Abbadon: And the Ultramarines, sir. Horus: Who? Anyway, this looks bad. *enter Sanguinis* What are you doing here? Come to join me?

Jonson: I did nothing! Guilliman: I did more nothing that you! Jonson: Nuh-uh. I was the most worthless! Guilliman: Have you read my book? Dorn: No one likes that book. Khan: C'mon guys. It's not that bad. Dorn: I guess not. Russ: You all suck. Ima go bring the Emprah back to life.

If they count, Harlequin Solitaires!!!!!

Otherwise, everyone's favourite Grot, Makari, and the Ravager of Piscina, Nazdreg Ug Urdgrub, are up there with Cypher at the top of the list. Tho, having played since 2nd Ed, I can think of loads that either were, or should have been, special characters not present in the modern codexes...although I hear Al'Rahem and Chenkov are returning to the IG at least

Nazdreg.

Should have been in the codex, we need a special warboss besides Ghazy.

Wikipedia wrote:C.S Goto's books have caused mixed reviews and heated debate amongst readers. Negative reviews of Goto's Warhammer novels have criticised the author's lack of adherence to Codex material (colloquially known as "fluff") and lack of Multilasers, particuarly in the Deathwatch series. Despite this, the majority of views are positive and praise Goto's work with Multilasers for it's style of writing and exploration of characters with good, structured multilasers. Most prominent among these are the Dawn of War novels which are based on the PC Games by Relic.

Shush you.

It's funny actually. He's the same Strength as a Big Mek, but the same Toughness as a Warboss.

Even more boggling: Zogwort has Warboss toughness, but less Strength than a regular Warphead.

And less ballistic skill rabble rabble!

In reality, its because he is blind, and also to prevent him re-rolling to wound with his poisoned attacks against S5 models on the charge.

Interesting thought on Frazzle and Zzap though. The Weirdboy Power Rules say he hits automatically, but the rules for BS 0 says they miss automatically. Since the rules in the codex do not mention it overriding that (its all well and good hitting automatically, but if you cannot ever actually hit anyway, it doesn't help) does that mean 3/6 weirdboy powers are bad/useless for Zogwort to roll on?

Eh? It hits automatically. That, by definition, cancels out missing automatically, as something cannot both hit and miss at the same time.

(Also, he's probably S3 because he's old and lazy. Too much squiggin, not enough krumpin.)

Thats one way of looking at it. I have a horrible feeling that my view on it is being skewed by my Magic: The Gathering playing (ya see, the second most important rule is if an effect says "you can do this" and another says "you can't do this" the "can't" always wins) but yeah, I suppose the effects still work regardless of BS0. And I already told you why he's S3, lrn2read n00b
