In another thread i was reading earlier someone said a few of the heroes that appear in codex' have died at the end of M41. Does anyone have a list of said heroes?

Warmaster Slaydo

Eldrad

Bout it.

The Phantom of the Opera BA Captain died.

Saint Praxedes.

Tycho dies during the third war for Armageddon (998.M41)

Veteran Sergeant Naaman of the DA died at the battle of Piscina IV and his stats are given in the codex.

I always found it ironic that his claim to being a named character in the codex was that he sacrificed himself.

Don't know if this counts but sergeant Lorenzo from space hulk is dead too.

There is the, largely unsubstantial, rumor that Calgar is dead. Its in the 4th ed codex in Calgar's entry. It says that some Imperial records show his death, but others show he still leads the Ultramarines.

Lord Solar Macharius (IG) died, but I don't know if he's in a current codex, I don't think his model is produced any more.

His model is available, but has been moved to the Collector's section. As for his rules, I know they're in an older codex, but they aren't in the 5e one.

Saint Celeste is dead (I think)

Say they take out all these heroes in 6e, will they make up new ones? Or will say the imperial guard have a new hero Commissar Caiphas Cain?

Eldrad Ulthran of the eldar supposedly died in the eye of terror campaign.

Ya but didn't he split his soul into several stones or something like that.

Aboard one of the Blakcstone fortresses.

God forbid they get Cain, he's cool and I genuinely enjoy him and everything but not even close to the man that Ibram Gaunt is. The IoM needs real heroes.

Ciaphas Cain was liek, 200 years old when he was called back into service during the Black Crusade, so lol at getting him in 6e.

That's like 45 years old, dude.

For humans? Really? That's.....interesting.

He's getting royally over by Slaanesh on that Blackstone.

The Eldar keep telling themselves he's still alive. The sad truth is that he is indeed VERY much alive, so he can feel all the horrible things Slaanesh is doing to him.

And that is 40k grim dark: if you are not a marine, you will never end heroically...

Eldrad was monstrous, maybe slanesh is the one sufering right now lol

I wouldn't be surprised.

Its probably an Alpha Legion plot to get some dirt on Slaanesh...


"Slaanesh sleeps with Eldar. Great Warp Schisim. Khorne and Nurgle march upon the realm of the Prince of Pleasure. Tzeentch could not be reached for comment at this time"

Nah, she came back. There's a bit about her in that single page of fluff the Sisters got in their new WD "codex".
That same page changed Praxedes to being KIA instead of just being MIA, though. Bad trade. :(

Given those novels' transgressions against studio material, I doubt GW would sanction them by adding this character to the setting promulgated in their army books, in spite of their apparent popularity.

Depends on how many rejuvenant treatments the guy has had. Since he's a hero, I'm sure he's had his fair share (or else he wouldn't be 200 in the first place), but I doubt he's still in his prime. He's probably a bit haggard at this point.

I doubt they would take them out. 40k has had "historical" special characters since 3rd edition, if not earlier (I can't remember any 2nd edition ones off the top of my head, but there were probably a few).

What about Yarrick?

Actually, he was still top notch when he got called back to service, being buddies with an Ordo Xenos Inquisitor has it's advantages.

Yarrik is not dead, still...

And GW have put histrical/dead characters since the very first codex came out in 2nd Ed. For instance Codex SW included Ranulf and Durfast, Two long ago dead guys.

Idaeus who was the Captain of the Ultramarines 4th Company is in the marine codex and he was killed at the start of the Ultramarines Omnibus then replaced with Uriel Ventris.

Two more Ultramarines, Captain Invictus of the 1st Company and Ancient Helveticus, Chapter Standard Bearer were both statted in Codex: Ultramarines for 2nd edition and later confirmed dead in the Battle of Macragge.

Every poor Squat soul that did not measure up the the sign.
