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?

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.

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

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.

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.

+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)

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.
