Bit of a necro, I know, but I couldn't read through all this thread without adding someone who I hope is VERY sorely missed amongst the older playerbase.
Makari the Gretchin... Ghazghkull Thraka's personal standard bearer that followed him everywhere (left here, next to the original Ghazghkull model).
Jammy little beggar had the equivalent of a 2+ invulnerable save against *anything whatsoever*, at a time when nothing else in the game had anything even close (this was back in the days when you had to pay extra points just to give your Captain any kind of invulnerable save at all).
Moriar the Chosen was also mentioned... his model was one of the old metal Dreadnoughts, and effectively became obsolete when the 3-way plastic Furioso kit came out - as you could then easily make a
DC Dread with his weaponry if you so chose. In other words, they turned him from a unique unit into a more generic one, but with the added benefit of being able to take more than one of him.
...some of us will never forget of course, and my own
DC Dread pays suitable homage.
