No, we wont. which really sucks. you'd think that if you retook more planets thatn any three commanders since the emporer himself walked thestars you'd be guaranteed a cool model and place in every codex

Maybe he's too cool for the codex.

Like a primarch.

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.

Moriar the chosen (Blood Angels Death Company Dreadnought) D6+2 Attacks (D6 +3 on the charge), 2D6+Strength (6) AP against vehicles, ignores crew shaken and stunned. Where is Moriar in the new (admitedly free but so rubbish you would not want to use it) Blood Angels Codex?

No Statline. He's so awesome nothing can ever hurt him.

At the beginning of the first player turn, roll 5D6. On a result of 5 or more you win the game automatically.

Nork Deddog because the "Medikit is in the Character Sur" and also Makari just cos. (Actually Makari is the only Special character I've got painted).

Makari and nazdreg. Those are all I can think of now.

And then there is always Yarlen fireblade. Yes I know I spelt it wrong.

Njall Stormcaller. He was ignominously dropped, wasn't he? Don't have 'current' Wolves Codex, so I'm not sure, but I don't remember seeing him. Are Stumper Muckstart and Mogul Kamir in the new IG codex? Actually, forget Stumper, nobody cares abot Ratlings. Wolf Guards Durfast of Mordrak and Ranulf would be cool - pushing Land Raiders into lava streams to get across is pretty high on the Nork Deddog scale of practicality!

Aun'shi, Mostly for his fluff (and his basic philosophy therein), but also because he has a kickass double sword/staff thing. Hes way more of an "inspiring presence" than some old fart on a grav-toilet.

Wasn't there a DA vet scout SGT character in the 3rd edition codex? Vet Sgt Namaan, or something like that?

Yeah, pretty sure he died during Ghazkhull n Nazdreg's invasion of Piscina...he gave his squad some sort of silenced bolt pistol I think? Probably best represented by making their pistols Pinning weapons now...although I imagine they wouldn't be much more useful...perhaps regular bolters, except then why not take a Sniper Rifle instead? Since the overwatch mechanic is being tested in Apoc, perhaps they could make Naaman a datasheet, with Pinning, Overwatching Bolters? That'd be pretty cool

Roboute Guilliman as an HQ choice for any codex marine force over 3000 pts. It would also make for interesting fluff to have him and Ventris debate military dogma.
If he did come back would he take over from Calgar or would he assume some role within the Adeptus Terra, maybe the High Council itself?

Congratulations, your dismissive and conclusory commentary has provided nothing to this discussion or the wider community on whose behalf you arrogantly presume to speak nor does it engage in any meaningful way the remark it lamely targets.

Hmmm.... hard to say what to bring back, cus i mainly play Tau.

I think they shouldn't just "abandon" some characters. Perhaps they should have a updated datasheet for them on the GW website?

My love for you is like a XV88 twin-linked railgun, which is twin-linked with another set of railguns, with added railguns for more railguning action, but that would be lacking so we have to add more twin-linked railguns onto the stack.... then to top it off we attach a heavy Railgun onto it's head..... heavy railguns *drools over keyboard*
