Like it says up top, GW is going to want to sell their 25% more expensive Finecast Models and one way to that is to make indepsensible special characters for us.
SO what would we actually like to see? Either in fluff terms or in rules terms?
On the fluff side...
I'd love to see Einsenhorn get rules, ideally 3 sets of rules for his early, middle and late (heretic) careers, with Cherubael as a proper Daemon Host available for his late career.
I'd also like to see Gaunt and some of the Ghosts back with rules.
For rules...
How about Brother Captain Makes-Devistator-Squads-Troops? I'm an American, yeah for use knights in armor have their place but in our culture guns are where it's at. But there's still 3 or 4 assault-heavy marine armies but no real shooty ones. Brother Captain Makes-Devistator-Squads-Troops would go some way towards fixing that, and in fluff there are supposed to be full dev companies out there. Maybe Brother Captain Makes-Devistator-Squads-Troops would not allow you to take tactical squads?
Similarly Brother Captain Makes-Vets-And-Termis-Troops is long overdue. Yeah, yeah, Deathwing, but let me tell you, the Deathwing have sucked since 2nd edition and I don't see that changing. A first company Captain who lets you take all the vet and termi variants as troops but bars all other marines (tacs, scouts, devs, assault) would be really popular.
IG Champions - Yeah we all love Sly Marbo, but surely there are other great guardsmen out there. How about adding a legendary sniper, a deadly swordsman, a gunslinger and other military archetypes? How about 1 legend per regiment? The Cadians have the vet Sgt who can also give orders, so how about a Vostrian big strong dude they call the 'The Bear', a Valhallan sniper, a Tallarn raider etc...

In an instant. On a more serious note: The Arch-Arsonist would be awesome. They could also release legion specifics conversion packs for any legion that doesn't have a model.
I'd just really like to see models for units that are already in my codices like Arjac Rockfist, Old Zogwort or Flashgitz. Also the Archarsonist is an awesome idea
Rules wise? Make furies able to asault the turn they arrive. I could forgive the ugly ass models, or the terrible stats and price if it means I can take the heat off my army for a turn or two.
I wouldn't mind seeing Tuska Da Daemon-Killa as a model, that would be pretty sweet ( imagine him to be a warboss armed with khornate weaponry + armour scraps, covered in bits of bloodletters etc)
Also, bring back some of the other orks, Nazdreg (big mek special character)
Would also like to see a return of the LotD seargent centurius, I think they could really go to town on that guy.
i wouldn't mind some of the characters from the histories. I like the idea of IG legends. they kind of touch on this with Bastonne i think and his own order but it would be nice to see other guys with other special rules that are relevant to their roles.
I would love to see a Space Marine CHaracter design setup where you can not only choose wargear but add special rules etc to help me build a characterful army around a character that i myself have made.
Definitely Eisenhorn and Ravenor, Marduk from the word bearers novels (obviously!), Honsou from the Iron Warriors, Inquisitor Quixos from the Eisenhorn novels, and some way of getting Deathwatch marines...
And Cain, Jurgen and Talos are all on the list too.

Okay...
Commissar Holt was such a badass it would take an entire armoured company of CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORTS to transport his badass-ness around the batlefield. Likewise he taught CREEEEEEEED everything ke knows and he also invented Space corridors and Industrial towers.
Also, I got bored in class today and looked up the definition of astartes on my phone and got this: an ancient Semitic deity, goddess of fertility and reproduction worshiped by the Phoenicians and Canaanites...WTF did GW choose this name for?

I wouldn't mind the Arch-Arsonist, but wasn't it a title, rather than a particular ork? Like, whichever boss was da biggest at the time took the title?
As a dedicated Dark Angels player i would like to see any and all DA commanders.
I also agree with - Gaunt and his Ghosts.
- Ciaphas Cain.
- Cypher would be good.
- Deathwatch would be nice due to the fact i want to start a killteam.
- The Primachs.
Fluff wise i would like more on the two unknown Primachs.
Erebus, he masterminded the Horus Heresy for feth's sake and he's still around in the 41st millenium. There's no way that the biggest schemer this side of Tzeentch is just sat on Sicarus twiddling his thumbs, plus rules wise, he could allow for a more legion specific special rule for the Word Bearers.

I actually kinda enjoy them. And I watched all of the old series before starting the new one. Matt Smith is no Tenant mind you but I prefer him over eckilson or whatever his name was the ninth doctor annoyed me.

I agree smith ain't tennant, the other main problem was that Russel T. Davies (Head sript writer) left when tennant did.
Smith's only redeeming feature is that he likes muse

Niel Gaiman made a good show 2 weeks ago though...
I'd mostly like to see more special characters that unlock stuff, not unlike what the current codex marines have. I'm talking like a character that lets you take stormtroopers as troops on a guard army, or a chaos lord that lets you take raptors as troops, or a character in any army that bars taking FA and HS choices, but lets you take 6 of your elite slots, or something.

it would be funny if lucius the Eternal died of a severe heart attack of over pleasuring himself by cutting his face.
Doom rider is better than Lucius. Lucius is a douche...

Doom Rider better represents the extreme thrill seeking nature of the Emperors Children better than Lucius. The fact that Doom Rider was still marine sized made him unique. He was also one of the first 40k models I had ever purchased.
As a side note, if Lucius were to slay a Grey Knight, would his reincarnation cycle stop?

Erebus would be a really awesome special character and so would DoomBread.
A de jetbike character would be cool aswell
Arch arsonist of Chardon rules idea :

If they are going to make an arch-arsonist, they should make it the one from Rynn's world...SNAGROD!
Also, immunity to fire is far fetched. Give him a 2+ to fire/heat weapons, but immunity is the domain of giant fire golems (avatars)
