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.

Comeback to guy who's into sports making fun of your 40k Hobby:

"Yea, I saw an episode of this 'football' you speak of once. This giant dude in spandex pants totally threw a ball made of dead pork skin at another dude in shiny pants and then he ran super-fast across a bunch of painted lines while more shiny-pant-wearing dudes chased him and leapt for his glistening spandex buttocks until he eventually crossed the other line which is apparently magical and makes the crowd stand up, bump chests, and clink bud-lights with each other.

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.

The Emperor doesn't seem to do much for you but you sure are expected to be mutilated, suffer, and die to make him happy. And is he dead or what? If he's entombed that would mean he's dead as a doornail, right? So, how can he be happy about anything you do, or even give orders to anyone? Are you worshipping the dead now? Is that something you'd really want to do? Because it sounds freaking creepy to me.

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
