The same could be said about a lot of models shared between ranges. Mostly vehicles, but also some characters.

Do GK have wargear options not modeled on the standard generic mini?

With the deldar codex, here's a list of remaining finecast minis with rules.

SM: Pedro Kantor, Cato Sicarius
DA: Sammael
CSM: Huron Blackheart
Necrons: Trazyn, Deceiver
IG: Sly Marbo
Orks: Weirdboy
Tau: Firesight Team

Also a side note, referring to the earlier convo of renegades & heretics. And man, the answer is so obvious for this now that detachments work the way they do. A chaos imperial guard detachment that removes commissars and imperial allies, lets you ally with daemons and chaos knights, and has chaos flavor is all you need.

Really they could be doing so much more with detachments. Like marines teaming with guard is one of the most common things in the setting, and there's no detachment doing that? What gives?

Isn't the new Marbo a different type of resin, rather than finecast? FW resin in a specific for resin sprue, rather than one adapted from the old metal models.

Valrak has a rumour that Trazyn, Blackheart and Cato Sicarius have had plastic models made waiting for release for a little while now, and speculates we'll see these released with the 10th ed ending campaign.

**Lord Damocles**

Grey Knight Librarian and Techmarine models are literally on their store page.

Yes, it's dumb that they alone have different marks of armour to everyone else in the range, but GW doesn't care about the narrative that much.

Forgot all about them.... I change my opinion to match this one.

In all seriousness, I'm sure there are a few models that have slipped through the cracks.

But I hope they get new toys soon. (I'd love to see a new super epic Sly Marbo... even though his rules are less-than-awesome.)

I would wager it's an exception because a couple of random Inquisitor models have been released as special edition kits for WH+ or Anniversaries.

**Fayric**

Thousand sons is in the same spot as grey knights with the terminator sorcerer lord, having to rely on the pretty old generic CSM terminator kit.

Also noteworthy that astra militarum have taken named BSF characters as their generic psycher and priest, ending up with pretty large models not entierly in line with the rest of the range.

But sure there are models for sale.

True, but GW obviously hates Imperial Agents, so they don't count.

Crap, she's got us there.

So.... Dark Eldar lost: Named Character, Grotesques, Court of the Archon, Beat Master and beasts.

I'm a bit surprised by the beasts, as there ARE plastic Ur-ghouls.

The rest of the army seems....okayish? Jetbikes and skyboards look good.

**chaos0xomega**

Ur-ghuls weren't a beast unit. 1 of the models in the Court of the Archon was an ur-ghul unit, so I guess they could've just replaced the Court with a unit of ur-ghuls, but they are on a shared sprue with other things so its not like they could really sell you that. zero surprises there.

The 3d files exist. I was expecting an expansion, not a cull. The Court would make a decent Kill Team though. Praying for future expansion.

Also disappointed that Kabalites are limited to 10 man squads. I really wanted 20 man squads back.

With these cuts, doesn't this make DE the smallest army, in unit numbers, in the game? I think even Votann outnumber them now.

**PenitentJake**

I've been wondering how likely it is that missing units will come as a decent release wave in 11.

At first, I thought we'd see them all back, but the more I thought about it, I realized that the Hand of the Archon is a replacement for the Court- it was the similarities between the Disciple of Yaelindra and the Lhamaean that brought it into focus.

And that made me less certain of the Beasts. There's still a decent chance, but it's not a guarantee.

Urien and Grotesques I still believe we'll see.

I think both knights factions are be smaller, at least as far as codex units go. Possibly Grey Knights also.

Deathwatch are also a faction that exist, though im not entirely sure they count.

If you don't count the Imperial Armor resin, you can add Custodes to the list.
