I thought that I would start a thread for people to list off units that are listed in their respective codices that GW doesn't even sell. For example, the ork warboss on a bike and the ork painboy who also doesn't have a model with a bike but has the option to upgrade them.

After GWs battle with Chapter House, there likely isn't many.

For orks there is possibly the only remaining unit without a past or present kit: biker nobz. Technically you do get one in each biker box I suppose.


Stormboy nob I think doesn't have any model? Nor does ard boy armor unless I'm missing what's supposed to represent that.

Forgeworld have some biker nobz, also a biker warboss. Also it is not hard to kitbash nob bikerz using nob torsos and arms from the nob box.

Kromlech have some ard boy bitz that fit with GW bitz just fine.

Stormboyz have a nob model...kind of, there isn't much difference but it does have a power klaw.

As for Ard Boyz? well those armor plates that come with nobz and boyz models are supposed to represent "Ard" armor. Granted they don't do it justice and everyone uses them for decoration.

I can think of many characters on bikes in the space marine codex (Tech marine, captain, chaplain, etc.) That don't have on production models.

All the special mounts for the Chaos Lords (Steed, Disc, etc.)

Nurgle herald on palanquin, unless you don't mind proxying epidemius. Ku'gath Plaguefather.

Imperial Guard Rough Riders

Imperial Guard special weapons and section-integral heavy weapons.

Ork Deffcoptas

The plastic boxes have the bits to make the special and heavy weapons. There's also dedicated metal models for the special weapon guys.

Unless you mean them selling purely special weapon squads, which they don't do, but the models exist.

They sell a deffkopta its just metal, I don't understand why they can't sell plastic ones like AoBR. Also seriously update the warbuggies and wartrakk!

Tyranids have shrikes still.

IG Veterans. Unless GW thinks that veterans aren't supposed to have any fancier gear/look different than regular guardsmen.

I think we all know a big perpetrator here... Power mauls.

Dark Angels have power mauls. FW makes power mauls. Heck, you could use a thunder hammer as a maul.

You get the choice of:
10 bods with two of the least used special weapons (Flamer and Grenade Launcher), 5 bods with both of those plus a Melta Gun and a Plasma Gun (but only one of each) or 6 bods with three of each Heavy Weapons. So not much there unless you want to buy several kits for one unit.

I get that, but the model/upgrade does exist.

I don't believe there's a model for a Commissar with a regular bolter, is there?

There is, but you have to go back a ways for it. I don't think simple weapon-swaps are what the OP is after though, as even a basic modeler should be able to manage it?
Bike characters seem to be a primary culprit, likewise the Chaos steeds mentioned earlier.

Ork warbozz in mega armour ( Ghazz doesnt count he is Ghazz not a generic warbozz)

A sprue with "Models" for the relics per codex would be nice

They don't.

Most of the models with a conversion beamer

Inquisitor wargear options

Ah yes, the Conversion Beamer issue. I scratch built my Conversion Beamer Inquisitor.

Built my GK conversion beamer out of some radar dish before there was even concept art for the damn thing. That's a weird one, seeing how long it was in the rules without a single peice of art or model to suggest how it looked.

Before WHFB died, Skaven had a litter bearers upgrade for the warlord. There was no model, and nothing to suggest how big it would be. Most people assumed 2x2 rank and file bases, but it was really just guesswork.

Sisters of Battle have the opposite problem. So many old upgrades that are gone from the army, but since they haven't gotten any new models the old upgrades are still being sold, just rebranded.

How about the fact that Space Marine Devastators and Tactical Marines aren't even sold with representations for all their equipment - only one Tactical Marine can carry the bolt pistol that every squad member should have, same thing with the knives (there are a few more of those though).

G.A

CSM terminators. If memory serves me right.

I did similar but went for the wackiest looking weapon I could find, which is the triple barreled Grey Knight Psilencer.


Unless I am really dumb I can't find a way to make space marine bikers with special weapons like grav unless you convert them yourself.

Memory serves you left.


And even if there weren't, "basic" chaos dudes could be done with loyalists and a different paintjob and/or some bits
