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?

Fallen.

Emprah.

Tuska Daemon Killa, Nazdreg must return.
Snikrot, Badrukk and Zagstruk need to be HQs.

The Doomrider. Like Schaeffer he had a model and rules. GW needs to bring him back.

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.

The Arch-Arsonist of Charadon. Such a cool title.

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

Drahzar does have a model. http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat440170a&prodId=prod1630052a&rootCatGameStyle=

Yes i know.

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.

Ah, Didn't catch that. Right on

crimson fists captain cortez. i think he'd make a great character.

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.

And the DE codex hints it is

Could be, could not.

GW will never confirm or deny.

IMO he is, YMMV

Saint Praxedes,from the old Sisters of Battle codex. She was totally bad ass.

Fallen
Gaunts Ghosts

Those are all I ask Dx

Ciaphas Cain.
Amberley Vail. (A 4+ invulnerable save, but if you make it, she scatters a d6 inches away.)
Talos. (And the rest of First Claw.)
+1 to the Arch Arsonist of Charadon.

+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)

Tuska -An ork so badass he made Khorne go 'damn!'

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

Grey Knight Chaplain

This

More special sergeants for SM [like Haas]

I think he has rules in the new HH book.

Chapter master of the Raven Guard

Maybe Ephrael Stern in the AS codex, as long as they could make it work in regards to fluff.

IG: Commissar Caine and Gunner Jurgen. You would have to take both as a single HQ option.

Grey Knights: Inquisitor Vail. She appears in enough of Caines books that she have a mini. She even has her own retiune.

Commissar Ibram Gaunt.

Seconded for the missing phoenix lords.

I'd like to see some more special characters for the Kroot. I knew they had one at some point but I'm not even going to try and spell it. I don't think it's in the game anymore. Could be wrong.

Farseers Macha, Taldeer and Caerys. Librarian Isador with a chaos variant of him as well.

I'd really like to see some the old models get updated rules -
Spiritseer whats-her-name
Red Terror
13th Penal Legion
Doomrider
The Eldar version of Sammael

just to name a few.
