characters that should be brought back(in your opinion)

warsmith pyrus — GMT

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.

I dunno about old charachters, but I WOULD like to see a 'Horus Heresy' suppliment for apocalypse, complete with the primarchs as Legendary Units. That would be both awesome and broken.
But mostly awesome

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

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 [i]less[/i] 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?

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.)

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

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

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).

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!

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

characters that should be brought back(in your opinion)

cadbren — GMT

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?

Cool beans on Marbo. Why doesn't GW just publish a book of nothing but special characters, and release models to go with? I trhink something like that would sell like hotcakes. Or crack in the hood.
Can't wait to see the new Marbo statline/ fig. That dude smoked 7 Gray Knight termies by himself once, back when I was playing with codez catachans; he's a complete badass! Tho I only modeled a hand and a pistlo coming out of a base cobered with foliage.... Hopefully the model kicks.
