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.

Anuvver fing - when they do sumfing, they try to make it look like somfink else to confuse everybody. When one of them wants to lord it over the uvvers, 'e says "I'm very speshul so'z you gotta worship me", or "I know summink wot you lot don't know, so yer better lissen good". Da funny fing is, arf of 'em believe it and da over arf don't, so 'e 'as to hit 'em all anyway or run fer it.

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?

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.

Earlobe deep in doo doo

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).

"But me no buts! Our comrades get hurt. Our friends die. Falkenburg is a knight who swore an oath to serve the church and to defend the weak. He'd be the first to tell you to stop puling and start planning. Because what we are doing-at risk to ourselves-is what we have sworn to do. The West relies on us. It is a risk we take with pride. It is an oath we honour. Even when some soft southern burgher mutters about us, we know the reason he sleeps soft and comfortable, why his wife is able to complain about the price of cabbages as her most serious problem and why his children dare to throw dung and yell "Knot" when we pass. It's because we are what we are. For all our faults we stand for law and light.

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.

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!

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?

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.

How do I roll?

Congratulations, your dismissive and conclusory commentary has provided nothing to this discussion or the wider community on whose behalf you arrogantly presume to speak nor does it engage in any meaningful way the remark it lamely targets. But you did manage to gain experience points toward your next level of internet tough guy.

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?
