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.

Captain Cortez, A badass among badasses

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.

Captain Invictus.

Well, he probably WILL be reintroduced sometime this year, most likely...

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

But the. Sniper/Rambo dode from the old Catachan codex was freakin sauce.

old one eye
red terror

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

I thought they had special rules? You can get them on the games Workshop websi... -Quiet Phuft of a Silenced Pistol-

The Watcher wrote:But the. Sniper/Rambo dode from the old Catachan codex was freakin sauce.

From the IG talk he is coming back. But I would like to see Cypher and Asmodi come back around

Definetly cypher. Im building up a choas fallen angels army and it would be sweet to have him in there. otherwise i will keep using his model as my chaos lord

Nazdreg.

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

A Big Mek.

Shush you.

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

The Mind Boggles.

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?

Doomrider!

Duh nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh Doomrider!

I have been summoned! I shall carve my enemies in the name of.... Oh Shi.... I rolled a 1.

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

Gwar! wrote:And I already told you why he's S3, lrn2read n00b

I want grizmund in the new codex, but alas no.
though Lord Solar Macharius would be awesome too

Agreed,lord solar Macharius would be cool but yet somehow I think we won't see him.

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

Maybe he's too cool for the codex.

Like a primarch.

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?

JD21290 wrote:old one eye

This. And maybe a new unique 'nid.

Orkeosaurus wrote:Maybe he's too cool for the codex.

Lord Solar Points: 0
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.

LMAO That sounds like something dumb I tell people I play before a game. Oooohhhh the memories

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!

I'm looking forward to new IG special characters. Yarrick is cool and all, but what about some diversity!!

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?

Ironhide wrote: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?

Characters I'd like to see?

Captain Cortez tops my list.

Love to see updated rules for Space Wolves, but only because I <3 Ragnar Blackmane.

But yeah, Cortez. He's the win.

I'm glad to see there was a good interest taken in this thread,keep the post comin'

Bring back Eldrad.

He's not around in enough Eldar armies as it stands.

the Blood Angels death company dreadnought, Moriar. i played him in 1 game by accident, and he survived 6 meltabombs (he was immobilized, but still 6!!!!)

They should bring back Iyanna. Coolest invulsave ever.

Makari - I'd go back to the green skins for this little fella!

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?

wilsmire wrote:But I would like to see Cypher and Asmodi come back around

Yes yes yes yes. Both, please. I am still trying to get my hands on a Asmodi figure in good condition. He just looks so frickin' cool.

even if they don't bring back Doomrider they should at least finish his fluff I mean someone that awesome doesn't dissappear.

Can I suggest Arhra the Fallen Phoenix? Does he count as returning when he never had rules?

Who was that one Tau Ethereal? He seemed like a cool guy, eh led Tau instead of directing them, and doesn't afraid of anything.

i agree doooomrider

The Watcher wrote:But the. Sniper/Rambo dode from the old Catachan codex was freakin sauce.

He is back, he is now called Guardsman Marbo.

Solitaire all the way! Those guys were just so sick.

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.

Awesome! A novel all about Calgar!

Njal stormcaller

doom rider pick is win

Captain Agemann. (If he ever was released.)

Chaplain Xavier, I really like the model for some reason.

Stumper Muckstart!!

I would like to see ciaphis cain made as a character.

Nofasse 'Eadhunta wrote:Awesome! A novel all about Calgar!

I think all the characters from gaunts ghosts.

Col. Shafer and Lt. Kage

Sigismund

Doom Rider.
x1000000000

I'd like to see a Horus Heresy sourcebook

I'm gonna go with Gaunt's Ghosts and Shaeffer's Last Chancers as groups. Also Cypher, Asmodai,.... and ah hell.. DOOM-ROYDAH'!

oh yeah, and of course

IYANNA!!!

although the resulting butthurt for DE players would be unimaginable

Fireheart.

The Warlock chick of Iyanden.
Also, of course, the EMPRAH!!!

If emprah returns, game is finished.

Manchu wrote:If emprah returns, game is finished.

QFT

The cosmic Golden Toilet can't be beaten.

Kal Jericho.

If Tyranids aren't going to get their own special characters, they should totally bring back Red terror and one eye.

Ya and a character for every chaos legion giving them new legion rules like say Kharn gives +1 strength to all World Eaters models, and a new eldar saim-hann special character that gives all guardians a jetbike for free.
SWEEEEEET

thrud-in 40k.

Deff Dread red Edition wrote:Agreed,lord solar Macharius would be cool but yet somehow I think we won't see him.

Yeah i want him back too, since he "died mysteriously" they could always "revive him mysteriously" tbh though he needs to come back...

Nah, Macharius would kind of be overkill. Only suited to be at the head of Apoc matches. But he's more likely to be dirrecting 20 of those Apoc matches than actually joining one. Being the Master Strategist he is.

Doom Rider.

HE DOES COCAINE!!!!!!

DOOM RID

oh nevermind I rolled a 1.

Doom Rider model looks crap.

I think that chick on Iyanden, the spiritseer should be back.

Also, mabye a Wraithlord/guard character?

i wanna see tyranid characters back! like:

the big bad red terror (as a trygorn would be hot sauce)

the big bad old one eye (if anyone says "but you can make him with carnie kit ill kill em) -in model form thats huuge

and a gensetealer patriach (called stevie wonder)

these will never happen but....

Doomrider
Cypher
Moriar

Crrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeedddddddddddddddddd!

Macharius would be nice to have in Apoc, in all seriousness. He'd be all liek, pick any 5 assets, free. Yep, any 5. Not even just Imperial, just 5. Win.

AND, both him and his retinue could be mounted in an Emperor Class titan for free.

=WINWIN!!!

And his retinue is an entire regiment of Stormtroopers, for 10 points.

=WINWINWIN!!! (big smile)
Also, he never loses. Even if his army is utterly anihilated, dead-or-not Macharius' fleet blows the crap out of the planet, so the best you can hope for is a draw.

I know he has never had a model but

HORUS! ! ! ! ! !

I mean who wouldnt want to feild him in a chaos army.
He almost killed the empra.

i want to see Moriar the Death Company Dred come back for the BA.

Yeah, or at least a Death Company carachter akin to Kharn who, no matter how hard he tries, never EVER dies!
