The_Gorgon Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 A jet bike praetor equivalent maybe and definitely a storm seer Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/317694-what-ws-special-characters-would-you-like-to-see/#findComment-4264752 Share on other sites More sharing options...
1ncarnadine Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Definitely Jubal Khan. Qin Xa as a character that makes Keshig Terminators troops, if they're a thing. And some kind of Kyr-Vhalen-but-in-reverse Traitor character, maybe a ship commander who ditched the fleet when Hasik's plans fell through.

Caillum Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Yesugei for sure. Maybe someone else like Torghun Khan to represent Terran Scars and their methods of war?

grand_master85 Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Yesugei, and perhaps a Jetbike character. Shining Khan, perhaps?

Lunar Centurion Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Yesugei, Torghun, Shiban (On jetbike), and maybe a new one too.

b1soul Posted December 31, 2015 Author Share Posted December 31, 2015 I was hoping for Qin Xa, Yesugai, Torghun Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/317694-what-ws-special-characters-would-you-like-to-see/#findComment-4264949 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelborn Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Qin Xa, Yesugei and maybe a new, jetbike charakter would be cool in hh 5 only rules are covered, right? At least that is what I've heard of.

Fire Golem Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Just the main legion rules and Rites of War, yeah. No characters or units.

Ironwithout Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Characters I'm not so fussed about honestly. I am desperate for a Librarian as a compulsory HQ though. Literally all I want lol.

grand_master85 Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 My Thousand Sons/White Scars Shattered Legions force is aching for compulsory HQs. I wouldn't have minded if they were a go-to choice like the Master of Signals or Primus Medicae. Fingers crossed they change it soon...

Nice and fluffy Yesugai? I think they meant being able to take a (non named) Librarian as a compulsory HQ, which you can't do because of the Support Officer rule.

lokkorex Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Yesugei. He's just downright awesome. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/317694-what-ws-special-characters-would-you-like-to-see/#findComment-4267664 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hesh Kadesh Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Hasik Khan - he lived, IIRC, after Scars, so that leaves him open to possibly joining as a character able to be taken as either Loyalist or Heretic, because we don't have a loyalist legion character who can do that yet (we have the opposite, though). Yesugei, because we've not had a proper Librarian character yet. 3 Wounds, Mastery 3, uses Biomancy to get Smite. Tbh, yesugei is pretty much a given due to his interaction with Xa'ven. In Templar, there was a Jubal Khan who was a champion of the legion, who fought against Sigismund in an honour dual with a power lance after the Scars were outraged at Dorn's intervention and general autism.

Sandlemad Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Hibou Khan would be interesting. He was part of the pro-Horus faction, was allowed to seek penitence by the primarch and led the kill team against Little Horus on Dwell. Interesting character, melancholy, used to lead his own company but was reduced to a situation similar to a more level-headed WHF dwarf slayer. Would fit well as a bridge between the WS and the shattered legions. Infantry, delegatus-style character, maybe some ambush or headhunter-type rules.

Hibou Khan would be interesting. I agree, they'd be cool characters...but I'd love some consistency on BL's part though In Savage Weapons, Jubal is mentioned as a badass among Abaddon, Sigismund, Raldoron etc. In Scars, Qin Xa is explicitly stated to be top dog in the Vth legion (apart from Jaghatai and Yesugai) In Scars, Hibou is Terran. In Grey Talon (also by Chris Wraight), he's Chogorian. It gets really confusing Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/317694-what-ws-special-characters-would-you-like-to-see/#findComment-4268018 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Praetor of Calth Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Hibou Khan is a given in my book. He has the potential right now to become one of the most interesting characters of the Heresy series, depending on what Chris does with him next. The whole "changing sides" arc he has going on, is something I wish we'd seen more of the Heresy.

Although I'm kind of worried where it could lead. As much as I'd like to see Hibou kick Lil' Horus's ass again. I really want Lil' Horus's last moments to be lowering the shields of the Vengeful Spirit as a final act of redemption. And as a character with so much potential, I don't really want to see Hibou die either. It's rare I find a character in a BL book which really brings something distinctive to the table. Thiel was one, Hibou is another.
