My sergeants with Lasguns, not so much :( (they were valid in 3e!) - even officers could take a lasgun.

Yeah that's the one thing that kind of annoys me, you'd think SOME regiments would actually give the officers a proper gun. Is 3 extra lasgun shots really that overpowered?

Only model I can think of that's bit the dust for me is my Crusader-class robot.

Not sure if my 10-man tac squad of power fist marines is legal as something like deathwatch or not...

I've got a few models that aren't represented with 8th edition rules, but nothing that your question relates to.

My Forge World Great Fire Dragon hasn't had appropriate rules since 7th edition WFB, but that's not relevant to this forum.

My Lost & the Damned army. It was such a wonderful mutant army too.

My Kroot Mercs army. They had sniper rifle cavalry and jumppack eviserator shaper squads that infiltrated. *sniff* I miss my pretty parrots.

LATD are incredibly easy to replicate right now. In fact I made a list just last night. Cultists are available, big mutants are too (though only in a single unit of 3 for now). R+H can provide several tanks and traitor guardsmen. CSM codex provides the rest with units like Spawn.

You've essentially got the whole army back in 8th.

Necron pariahs of course.

Chaos mutants, i'd like some in my army.


Suicide bomber squads.

Ambulls, roaming the field at random.

Plain Big Mek with KFF on foot

Warboss in MA

Warboss on Warbike

Unless I'm missing something, Immortals are still in the codex.

MY BAD! I meant pariahs, it's been so long since they were a thing I forgot the name for a second. Pariahs, you know, something that helped keep the psychic phase from just being "Other player removes XX necrons from the table."

Krieg officers can take lasguns, interestingly enough. Hot-shot lasguns too!

Model them with Lasguns, pay a point for a Boltgun.

This was my solution to the fact that R&H 'Sergeants' can take Lasguns but AM Sergeants cannot since my guys can run alternative Factions, depending on the presence of allies.

This is indeed what I have done. If my opponent allows it I'll play them as lasguns, if not they are weird looking boltguns. If the rules changes I get a very few points back in my list.

Assault marines with power weapons.
Hand flamers.

Do what ewveryone did the first time they went away - they're "close combat weapons". Personally I prefer that sort of abstraction, as it means I have more freedom for conversion.

The only models I can think of that I had to retire with an edition change were my Imperial Guard land speeder and my Space marines crewing support weapons. And swapping power fists for swords on a few Blood Claws.
