I always think about the fact that it seems to be that GW is missing out on a small list of important characters who would make for pretty awesome editions to the various armies.

Here is my take on who deserves a model and some rules.

The Silent King - Necrons
Arhra - Dark Eldar
Colonel Schaeffer - Imperial Guard (I know he used to have rules, but he really should have a model and rules again)
Chapter Master Vladmir Pugh - Imperial Fists
Iron Father/Chapter Master Kardan Stronos - Iron Hands
Erebus - Word Bearers (this one has always blown my mind that he has no model and no rules, for 40k at least, and yes I know he just got a HH model)

Who am I missing?

Fallen.

Emprah.

Tuska Daemon Killa, Nazdreg must return.
Snikrot, Badrukk and Zagstruk need to be HQs.

The Doomrider. Like Schaeffer he had a model and rules. GW needs to bring him back.

I would also like to see Phoenix Lords for some of the other Aspects.

I would to like to see some more characters for the other Space Marine chapters from C:SM. The Ultramarines got quite a lot of love, Black Templars got 3 characters, but the other chapters only got one character at most.

Hector Rex. His rules suck so much he needs new ones.

The Arch-Arsonist of Charadon. Such a cool title.

Arhra has rules and a model , at least it's hinted to be him.

Drahzar.

Vect, Malys, Sliscus, Sathonyx Wazdakka,Zogwort would all like models

Drahzar does have a model. http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat440170a&prodId=prod1630052a&rootCatGameStyle=

Yes i know.

I was pointing out that Drahzar is Arhra.

Some Big Mek characters would be great, particularly the enigmatic Orkimedes, the one responsible for the incredibly powerful tellyporta technology Orks are able to use to transport entire stompas/gargants to a planet from great distances.

Other ones would probably be Cypher, Grog Ironteef, Zso Sahaal, Sevatar, Garro, Sigismund, Snagrod the Arch-Arsonist of Charadon, and out of curiosity The Beast. Malcador the Sigillite is another major contender given his role in the Heresy and founding of both the Grey Knights and the Inquisition & Administratum.

Ah, Didn't catch that. Right on

crimson fists captain cortez. i think he'd make a great character.

Drahzar is only rumored as being Arhra. There isn't anything solid on that. In fact, the book Path of the Incubi hints that he is not Arhra.

And the DE codex hints it is

Could be, could not.

GW will never confirm or deny.

IMO he is, YMMV

Saint Praxedes,from the old Sisters of Battle codex. She was totally bad ass.

Fallen
Gaunts Ghosts

Those are all I ask Dx

Ciaphas Cain.
Amberley Vail. (A 4+ invulnerable save, but if you make it, she scatters a d6 inches away.)
Talos. (And the rest of First Claw.)
+1 to the Arch Arsonist of Charadon.

+1 for amberly vail, who'd fit very well in a codex: ordo xenos book, ideally allowing a single commisar and choices from codex:ig as part of her detachment, for the comedy value. (Won't happen, although the displacer field made it in finally)

Tuska -An ork so badass he made Khorne go 'damn!'

DE Cryptoscientist Vorscht, just for how awesome the model would have to be, and the rules possibilities..

Displacer fields were available wargear in earlier editions of 40K. They seem to be going back to the older stuff a bit lately, so no bad thing.

I'm hoping for the old Madboyz and Ork Cybernetiks charts in the new codex

Grey Knight Chaplain

This

More special sergeants for SM [like Haas]

I think he has rules in the new HH book.

Chapter master of the Raven Guard

Maybe Ephrael Stern in the AS codex, as long as they could make it work in regards to fluff.

IG: Commissar Caine and Gunner Jurgen. You would have to take both as a single HQ option.

Grey Knights: Inquisitor Vail. She appears in enough of Caines books that she have a mini. She even has her own retiune.

Commissar Ibram Gaunt.

Seconded for the missing phoenix lords.

I'd like to see some more special characters for the Kroot. I knew they had one at some point but I'm not even going to try and spell it. I don't think it's in the game anymore. Could be wrong.

Farseers Macha, Taldeer and Caerys. Librarian Isador with a chaos variant of him as well.

I'd really like to see some the old models get updated rules -
Spiritseer whats-her-name
Red Terror
13th Penal Legion
Doomrider
The Eldar version of Sammael

just to name a few.

Gaunt was in the 3rd edition guard codex IIRC.

A new character. The ultimate vindicate assassin. Because the current model is meh and vindicated have the potential to be awesome

I've always been surprised at no Erebus/ Kor Phaeron.

The Silent King would make a great character.

I'd like to see a special Wraithlord or Spirit Seer character.

Iyanna Arienal, Angel of Iyanden. It would also mean GW would have to release a female farseer. It's silly, considering all series in Down of War franchise had a gorgeous female farseer as their leader.

=][= Such thought is heresy! =][=

I'd like to see an inquisitor Valeria.

Some Soul Drinkers characters would be awesome.

I would vote for Uriel Ventris and Sgt. Pasanius of the Ultramarines,
Commissar Ciaphas Cain/Jurgen/Amberly Veil are clearly hillarious.
Capt. Gabriel Angelos from the Blood Ravens would be nice as well.
Honsou of the Iron Warriors would deserve it as well.

Eldar Warp Spider Phoenix Lord!!

From Black Library I'd like to see uriel ventris, gabriel angelos, ibrham gaunt, eisenhorn, and of course, honsou.

From more classic GW fluff the doomrider, erebus, the flayed lord (crazed necron overlord), and sevatar.

Commander Puretide - he's every firewarrior's idol.

Colonel Tyborc for the DKoK siege regiment, seriously, 3 books, no SC Forgeworld? Not cool.

He's there in the latest Apoc book, but only as a special apoc thing, I think it sucks, especially considering that FW gave plenty of SC to the Chaos side and one for Grey Knights.

As improbable as it would be, I'd like to see Guardsman Hawke from Storm of Iron get some rules.

Other than him, probably Honsou.

I want non-dreadnought Bjorn the Fell-handed rules/model. Also, Garviel Loken rules

There's every chance in the universe we'll get these in HH.

Silent King would also be awesome.

Loken has rules; and a model.

A few of those mentioned have models (Gaunt and some Ghosts like Corbec, Larkin, Milo and Dorden; Eisenhorn (although he was Inquisitor scale) Erebus/Kor Phaeron (they've only just been released) Col. Schaeffer, Cypher, Captain Cortez)

Most of them had rules too, but unfortunately no longer valid

I agree with calls for a Cain/Jurgen and Amberly Vail tag team of awesome!

Fallen and more importantly Cypher

Also Zso Sahaal

I knew he had a model, but I thought his rules were the next book (I don't have the HH:betrayal in physical format). Either way, I stand corrected. Thanks

The Fallen / Cipher

This would also fill a huge fluff gap that I would love to know the 'truth' on.

It'd be nice to see Moriar the Chosen, 40k could do with another Dreadnought character considering that they'd have some epic stories to tell.

Vect or Duke Sliscus would be nice.

Grand Master Mordrak. Although, I do have an epic conversion for him.

Wazdakka.

The Exalted and First Claw would get my vote.

Lucarikx

Cypher desperately needs rules imo, and I would also say Cain and Gaunt need rules. While we're at it we may as well show some more love to the ultramarines and give them Uriel Ventris, granted he would be the least mary sue Ultramarine character in the codex.

EDIT: While we're at it give Mechanicus and Black Templars codices.

Gabriel Angelos, Cain + Jurgen, Vail, Gaunt are my prime choices.

Doom should have a model.

"Ghosts of the 13th company" would be nice as well for Space Wolves.

More phoenix lords and chapter masters for the other big chapters (Salamanders in particular!)

In the dark eldar novels that idea is pretty much debunked. Nothing concrete but it doesn't seem as obvious as before that book.

Kelbor-hal. I would love a model and rules for the head of the dark mechanicus.

High Marshal Ludoldus, he has to be badass for the simple fact he commanded the BT for over 2000 years

Only if you believe that BL is Canon, which i don't

Even they don't, and have said so

There is no Canon. We are completely Canonless over here


If we did consider BL to be canon then all of it would have to be, which allows in some absolutely godawful and contradictory fluff.

Goto for example...or some of the redonculous stuff from the Cain novels.

We can't do anything about godawful codex fluff, unfortunately.

Drahzar may be Ahrha, or he may not. I think he is. It has neither been explicitly confirmed nor denied. Unless they specificly say that he isn't in a codex or the rulebook he still may be

Or not.. I prefer the uncertainty. The lack of concrete 'this is so' in 40K is one of the best things about the setting, especially since most of the fluff is heavily biased by the source

Angkhor Prok. I think I have his model somewhere... really cool Shaper. Was a Games Day miniature, so technically he never had published rules except on the little card that came with the conbook.

Here they are; http://trobarts.customer.netspace.net.au/anghkor-prok.pdf (looks like the official ones, but it's years since I saw them in hardcopy ^^

I want to see Saint Arabella. Back from the Eye of Terror and ready to kick some arse for the Emperor.

While it sounds like the BL has trashed the idea of Drazhar as Arhra, there are so many references to him DEFINITELY being the original phoenix lord, such as Karandras fighting him being described as "Fighting his original mentor" Etc.

But I digress!

I'd like to see a Salaine Morn model, Archon of the Kabal of the Shadowed Thorns. She could be a pretty unique character, and given her exiled status/mercenary lifestyle, she would make a killer battle brother for a Eldar force, or vice versa


It certainly wouldn't be too hard to kitbash her from an Archon and an extra Wych head, and kit her out like an Archon (as she's supposed to be), but she would be more fun with some rules of her own. GW needs to snap it up and release models or release more DE characters. We get no love over here, come on

Angor Prok again for the tau!

I'd like to see a special Assassin. Right now they're all faceless (and the rules and models always have been), but in their old Codex there were defined characters and enough intrigue and politics to rival the puritan/radical Inquisition divide.

It'd be a good excuse to explore another temple's technique, too.

Honsou and Forrix from the Iron Warriors.

Especially Honsou, a Chaos Lord/Warpsmith combo with some rule for his genetically engineered monstrosities would be awesome.

+1 for this:

and can we please have Cypher back? I still have the model from back in the day...

At the top of my list is great boss Tuska the daemonkilla, then some sort of freebooters warboss, bluddflag maybe, also warlord gorgutz 'eadhunta

I need, not want, need...........

Amberley Vail both in her Artificer Armour with Hv bolter and out of it in her singer or noblewoman cover.

Cain and Jurgan

Colonel Karsteen

Lady Malys - although the new Wrath of Kings Kickstarter has some lovely proxies with fans for her and her followers check out the Iron Lotus troops

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/coolminiornot/wrath-of-kings

Pretty much all the characters in the Salamanders and Night Lords novels,

The Crone from Helsreach - be a cool objective / diorama piece

Sanguinius

EDIT: Actually let me add on Gideon and Lorenzo to that list. I know they have Space Hulk models but I would like to see some 40k models and some rules to go with them. I'm also going to add Moriar The Chosen as well. I think you can pretty much tell I am nuts about Blood Angels.
