Although this kinda started as a joke. I would seriously buy a lot of the suggestions made.

The first rule of unarmed combat is: don’t be unarmed.

Marbo and the Custodes doesn't work sadly as Marbo is resin and the Custodes guy is plastic.

OKais? You mean the dude from Dawn Of War?

That's a model I can get behind.

O'Kais, you mean the guy from Fire Warrior?

"Got you, Yugi! Your Rubric Marines can't fall back because I have declared the tertiary kaptaris ka'tah stance two, after the secondary dacatarai ka'tah last turn!"

"So you think, Kaiba! I declared my Thousand Sons the cult of Duplicity, which means all my psykers have access to the Sorcerous Facade power! Furthermore I will spend 8 Cabal Points to invoke Cabbalistic Focus, causing the rubrics to appear behind your custodes! The Vengeance for the Wronged and Sorcerous Fullisade stratagems along with the Malefic Maelstrom infernal pact evoked earlier in the command phase allows me to double their firepower, letting me wound on 2s and 3s!"

"you think it is you who has gotten me, yugi, but it is I who have gotten you! I declare the ever-vigilant stratagem to attack your rubrics with my custodes' ranged weapons, which with the new codex are now DAMAGE 2!!"

"...which leads you straight into my trap, Kaiba, you see I now declare the stratagem Implacable Automata, reducing all damage from your attacks by 1 and triggering my All is Dust special rule!"

Aren't they the same dude anyway?

Also how did we find out he appears in the Dark Angels codex?

Hanford, CA, AKA The Eye of Terror

I can get behind a Lion'el Johnson or Leman Russ + Custodes Guys + Marbo release.

Russ would love Marbo, they have the same sunny disposition and finally Marbo would have someone who may be a challenge to fight.

I kinda figured that it would be the case since they are previewing the model now and "you can get it later next year!"

Not codex. There's a novel coming out with the Dark Angels. I'm blanking on the name but at the Black Library weekender O'Kais was name-dropped and specified as the foe.

A new Tau-Human auxiliary figure. It could be labeled 'traitors of the imperium' and the Fluff Bunnies would riot.

Or pack a new Inquistor Greyfox and label it 'Victims of the Hive Fleets'

Apparently I'm not a good person...

OH that's right there's a novel coming out.

Cool stuff. As long as he's not murdered and does a good job yet doesn't make the Dark Angels look like a bunch of punks we're good.
That's a lot to ask for though.

So, with that in mind, lets come up with the most awful third figure for this fictional box set (must be imperial), and the story that brings them together.


Not sure about the Custodes guy, but since Marbo is a Rambo riff (or Schwarzenegger after all?), I'd add

- Obiwan Sherlock Clousseau!

Spoiler:



When I went to click the spoiler button, I thought you were just being silly.

Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined something so magnificently daft to have actually been canon.

Dakka does have White Knights and is also rather infamous for it's Black Knights. A new edition brings out the passionate and not all of them are good at expressing themselves in written form. There have been plenty of hysterical responses from both sides so far. So we descend into pointless bickering with neither side listening to each other. So posting here becomes more masturbation than conversation.

In the "Fire Warrior" novelization, he ends up in a mental instititution for being too traumatized by his experiences.
Did he get better in more recent fluff?
