Due to the near release in 25th I wanted to know and share with you what would we like to see him doing. So anyone, what do you wish he will do? Pts cost? Abilities? Stats? I just hope GW doesn't copy paste something from the old rules.
But something inside me says that GW in order to get money from selling him, will probably have him do wonders..
My prediction is:
1)His stats will be as the casual chaos lord.(Maybe higher balistic)
2)2 pistols, master crafted?, ability to use them as ccw?
3)Probably he will have 4++
4)Maybe some short of one use melee attack due to sword though i don't think he could use the sword anyways due to fluff.
I can't think anything else..
Anyone else?

These Digital Editions people have a tendency to just copy-paste rules and call it a day.

However, I know that at least some of the people on the team have read "Rise of the Tau" and assume the rest have too, so I hope they are able to get some inspiration from there on what Cypher can do, and make some cool rules instead of just taking the Chaos Lord statline and giving him two pistols and some inconsequential USRs.

This money-loving company is not going to let the opportunity pass away. They will make him good. I mean competitive good. So they can sell moreee and finish they stocks.

Rules for a "hunt the fallen" type scenario would be nice...

ive been reading that his old rules used to deny a KP for him being killed as he "vanishes away"
sooo, maybe a NO SLAY THE WARLORD rule would be cool.

Maybe giving someone the Gunslinger USR finally...

And his retinue will allow including some ATSKNF Space Marines in a Chaos army.

But you get gunslinger usr for getting 2 pistols anyway.....

Anywho.

probably something along the lines of DA gets hatred Cypher

And he will probably have some bombass BS and master crafter weapons.

Would love to see that one gun rule from 30k where you shoot till you miss or something like that.

I hope I can find a way for him into my da army

Any model that can take two pistols has the Gunslinger USR.
It's automatically granted when you take two pistol weapons.

Here's hoping for something along the lines of the Legion Mortiat.
