Updated versions of ic at a later date?

So I was thinking a few days ago about how poor some ic rules are (power wise) compared to how they are in the fluff. Prime example is old man kor phaeton.

On the table he's pretty rubbish, doesn't really offer anything special at all.

Fluff wise (and correct if I'm wrong fluffy Lords) but didn't he almost kill papa smurf with a crazy psychic barrage once he had turned to chaos.

 

Now does this mean we are likely to see updated chaosed up ic rules at some point or did fw just not like some characters.

 

Across the board it does seem a few of the arch traitors ic aren't that brilliant compared to a few of the loyalists so does this means there's room for them to grow a little or will they just be left in display cases?

I recall reading somewhere some primarchs might get that treatment, at least regarding the miniatures, and I guess we could expect an Über-Horus and maybe some daemon primarchs rules. Regarding other characters, it could be nice and it shouldn't be too difficult to do, maybe they could just get some additional rules and wargear for a point increase/decrease as Lorgar and Corax have.

 

Actually, one of my wishes for the Heresy would be a book with rules for most of the lesser-known captains and officers that appear during the conflicts or those that haven't got rules (Torgaddon, Falkus Kybre, Camba-Diaz, Lucius (though he'll probably get rules eventually) etc.), or even a small system to further personalise your characters to create your own or better represent some of the ones without rules.

Kor Phaeron was temporarily empowered when he did that.

 

Plot armour is a thing, and you have to consider characters in the whole of thier portrayal, not in their minute glory.

 

So far, I think almost all the character ruls so far are flavourful and power on the tabletop is very subjective.

ICs are fairly fluffy rules wise and pretty balanced with maybe 2 exceptions but then again I play IH and we have arguably the best per point IC (Orth)and autek "smashface" mor the only one I'm not a fan of is shadrak mehduson.
