Commander Boreale, obviously. He could allow for multiple simmuln-taneous defensive deep strikes. In-game I guess he'd let your entire army deep strike using drop pod assault or something stupid like that.

I'd love to see a Captain Cortez with suitable rules and a model that didn't suck, and Ciaphas Cain with Jurgen.

And Stumper Muckstart the ratling special character

-Any terrain containing Sly Marbo is dangerous terrain.
-Sly Marbo once played an objective mission just to see what it was like to not meet every victory condition on his own.
-Sly Marbo bought a third edition rulebook just to play meat grinder as the attacker.
-Marbo doesn't need an Eldar farseer as an ally; his enemies are already doomed
-Sly Marbo was originally armed with a power weapon, but he dropped it while assaulting a space marine command squad just so his enemies could feel pain
-Sly Marbo still attacks the front armor value in assault, for pity's sake.

Feasting on the souls of unworthy opponents

Void Dragon for the Necrons. Dude bursts out of Mars, and when on the table against a marine player using vehicles, they have to roll some kind of something to be even allowed to shoot at their Omnissiah.

Tau need....anything. Some kind of help. For 225 points, I get Ghazghkull Thraka who makes my whole army fearless, gets a 2+ invul save, 4 wounds, EW, 7 STR10 attacks, and an automatic roll of a 6" to fleet. Tau need a 225 point commander that instead of Waaaugh! uses an inspirational command or something and the whole army becomes fearless, gets +2 ballistic skill for one turn, the whole army gets to make an assault move that turn (like suits).

I wouldn't be surprised if Arhra is in the new Dark Eldar Codex as a Special Character.



For me, when the Necrons get a codex, I'd like to see a few lords with some personality. Maybe an "essence" of each of the C'tan. Some more info about the Outsider, and the Void Dragon for sure.

Bjorn the fell-handed doesn't count? Or do you just mean a model that is specifically for a dread char? I think bjorn had one but it was the same as the venerable dread?

In the embrace of the great Nurgle, I am no longer afraid, for with His pestilential favour I have become that which I once most feared: Death.

Boosting Black Templar Biker




Fenton Michigan

Your all stealing the doomrider thing from me aren't you? I think i have talked enough about the magical effects of him snorting a line of cocaine off of his guitar as he plays a riff that can shatter stars.

I would also like to see some blood raven love with Gabriel Angelos, but before i get flamed for liking space marines.

Probably more black templar heroes or some more info on the ones we have damn't!

And maybe some necron ones too since they are non existant on the plane of anything relevant or interesting, but I guess that was the theme of them during the making of the codex

Jervis Johnson: MAKE THEM MORE BORING
GW Employee: But sir we already made it were they only have 1 troop choice, no special characters other then expensive ass slow C'tan and that they have no chance in melee what else can we do?

Female Commisars,

A decent tank commander for the IG, think Romel in a Leeman Russ BT.
+1 to all tank based rolls,
"Rolling Fire" can move and all fire weapons twice.

Female Cadians,
Just so that the boys in my army have some thing pretty to look at before they die.

IG based Priest, have them as indipendant but can bless stuff for when against Chaos.

Arbites models re made, as well as Inspectors.

I would love to see ALL the demon primarchs. Over the years, I've seen here and there fan specs. But imagine, real canonical ones! The modeling that would follow such a release would be fantastic too. Though I suspect to do justice to their fluff, wouldn't they have to be incredibly overpowered, more so than Ghazghkull Thraka?

[By the way, and a little off topic, but here we go: did Space Orks ever have command level grots? I haven't been playing 40K long enough to know the ork background incarnations well enough. However, when I was a young one in the nineties, playing Warhammer Fantasy, goblins had some interesting generals and special characters.]

Stalwart Dark Angels Space Marine

Slightly OT but the above post has reminded me of one thing I really want to see. The return of the wargear section of each codex and with more WFB style unique items. That way you basically can make your leaders into your own special characters without every SM Captain being pretty much the same as every other SM Captain and every Ork Warboss being the same as every other Ork Warboss. If only my Chapter Master could carry some fabled weapon from the Chapter's armoury... no... ok he can have a Power Sword instead, like half of his Tactical Squad Sgts...

Cypher is just a badass!

and they will NEVER bring primarchs, not enogh for imperial but they would be incredibly good, they could take most SC's currently one on one, be better than all the heavy hitters. like better than mephiston with IC.

deamon primarchs would be even more resilient and powerful IMHO, if anything they would be apoc characters.

/Begin rant: Making the special characters non-special characters.
ie, just remove them from the codecii, but retain their special abilities, with a points cost.
allow construction of your own special characters.. ie, just regular characters.

You like creed and still want to be able to field him?
then take an IG general, buy him the special ability "tactical genius" and the appropriate weaponry. and your set. (lousy example, as I don't do ig, but I hope you get the point?)

I'm just tired of seeing every ork army in the known universe with a 5 man cell of kommandos led by the legendary snikrot of armageddon. even though you're in damocles.

give the spec abilities a point value, and it MIGHT even itself out between the codecci.
as is now, my gaming group, since 3rd ed have banned the use of special characters. as some armies are OP in the special char section, whilst some are horribly UP.
/end rant

On topic though:
I'd like to see an ork Generul, giving tactical abilities, like, giving the army the option of actually LOOTING an IG tank, straight from the IG dex, as is. (the worthless BS should more than make up paying the standard price for 'em...)

An ork dread char that doesn't suck.

a propper ork WARLORD... you know, like the arch-arsonist. someone who could like, choke a primarch. or *gasp* even the emperor...

I agree with the make your own character sheet. WHFB lord actualy have a chance against SCs but in 40K? No way. Personaly I say do deathwatch as an entry like legion of the Damned
