Morovir Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 And about Lucius and Noise Marines, you've gotta see the bigger picture for those. And I think Bile would not come alongside them, considering his relationship with Chaos in general and his former Legion in particular, but regardless, bigger picture. I would actually like Bile to have extra rules if he is taken in an Emperor's Children army, in order to reflect that fact that he still is the Lieutenant Commander of the Emperor's Children, and as of the Josh Reynolds books, has led them on occasion after the Horus Heresy.

Robbienw Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Cain actually did have a model, it was one of the last of the Black Library limited edition models. http://limited-edition-warhammer.blogspot.com/2013/01/ciaphas-cain.html To put it nicely, it was not a good model :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/358448-which-character-do-you-think-deserves-a-model/page/2/#findComment-5389779 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Kais (who, by the way, being the potential nod to Fire Warrior that he is, should not be wearing any sort of Battlesuit, he should basically be a named Fireblade), Erebus, Kor Phaeron, Vect, Malys, any named Magos that isn't Cawl, more Primarchs (Loyalist and Traitor) need made. Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka needs an update, plus make him a Primork while you're at it. Lucius needs an update (also drop new Noise Marines and Fabulous Bill while you're at it), the Wolves, Dark Angels and Blood Angels characters need updates, we need a new Huron... the list is endless. Kais (who, by the way, being the potential nod to Fire Warrior that he is, should not be wearing any sort of Battlesuit, he should basically be a named Fireblade) Obviously GW isn't beholden to imitating content from the Black Library on the tabletop, but the last time we saw Kais in War of Secrets he was piloting a Ghostkeel and presented as eminently capable of single-handedly purging the Angels of Absolution's Fortress Monastery. It's not a portrayal I was especially fond of, but it certainly leaned heavily on the idea of him as the Monat master - the army of one - rather than any kind of nod to Fire Warrior. Firewarrior 'Kais is unlikely to be the same guy as Puretide's pupil Shas'O Kais. One's a regular squad member who ended up in a asylum after too many encounters with daemons while the other is a prodigy groomed for command. Kais is a rather common name for T'au since it just means "skillfull". Also according to the german Lexicanum the Kais from Fireblade got a limited miniature once. I can neither confirm nor deny that personally though.

Halandaar Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Plenty of characters need new models, but among major characters active in the setting who don't have one available, the obvious standout is Asdrubael Vect.

Trevak Dal Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Yeah I memba Kais had rules in a white dwarf, iirc he was the first Tau to get a railrifle. It got hot.

Trevak Dal Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 I still think a giant "stealth" suit is as stupid as...well giant genetically enhanced power armored Sneak Thief Space Marines. Like sneaking around in Fallout 4 with power armor stupid. Like, I know GW was running out of ideas with the Founding Legions/Chapters, but it's silly (I did like that bit in Soulhunter where he says "Greetings!" And cuts the one dudes head off and throws it at another. Funny stuff, you could really get up to some Arnold Swarzenegger Hijinks if you were a space marine) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/358448-which-character-do-you-think-deserves-a-model/page/2/#findComment-5389943 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wulf Vengis Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Bring back the last chancers please and thank you. As for new characters needing models: why not give us some named characters for the other in universe games? Ciaphas Cain or Kais (last chancers) for kill team or necromunda? Give us famous titans for Adeptus Titanicus, Dies Irae(sp/name)? Special units only for use in apocalypse (last chancers) (like back in the day with Sternhammer and the likes). If it's an important character in the fluff i don't see why gw can't find some way to make a mini or unit and profit from that in at least one of their many games. Edit: Also I'd like to see Maddox (from the Ragnar novels) get a model. And Tankred. "TANKRED ENDURES!"

Unlike the Warsuit that is just a bit quieter than a Redemptor Dreadnought. :facepalm: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/358448-which-character-do-you-think-deserves-a-model/page/2/#findComment-5390154 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephaniah Adriyen Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Ooh, something interesting. As far as I know. Shas'O Kais is the T'au commander in Dark Crusade, yeah? The same guy who does the uber-Ghostkeel thing? Dark Crusade Kais is actually the same guy as in Fire Warrior, which is neat. Although having him in a Ghostkeel now would make sense.

Knight of the Raven Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Also according to the german Lexicanum the Kais from Fireblade got a limited miniature once. I can neither confirm nor deny that personally though. I fished the corresponding (French) White Dwarf out of my bookshelf. October 2003, number 114 with the Winged Lancers/Gryphon Legion of Kislev charging Chaos Marauders* on the cover in France; apparently number 286 with some librarian in pale-blue power armor on the cover in the United Kingdom. "Limited Edition Tau Pathfinder." He's basically a fire warrior without shoulder pads visually, so it's logical he's mistaken for the protagonist of the game that came out the previous month. There is a Kais model, though. Twelve centimeters tall, painted by hand and numbered 1 to 5000. Created by Warp Artefacts, an old division of Games Workshop's BL Merchandizing according to Wikipedia**. The source is the (again, French) White Dwarf just before the one I mentioned at the beginning. September 2003, number 113, the same cover as the actual game and the novel in France; apparently number 285 with the scene where a Nazgûl and his hell hawk tower over Frodo in Osgiliath, except with models rather than a screencap, in the United Kingdom. And there were also rules for Shas'la Vior'la Kais. Fire warrior with two wounds and a personally-modified rail rifle (they incidentally were created by/for the video game), alongside some special rules crafted just for him. Model-wise he's exactly that, a fire warrior converted to wield a rail rifle. Source: December 2003 White Dwarf, number 116 with a (probably edited) screencap of King Elessar leading the forces of Gondor and Rohan on the cover in France; apparently number 288 with the previously mentioned cover of the video game in the United Kingdom. * a picture called Riders of the Dead by Adrian Smith, to be more specific. ** formally introduced in the December 2003 White Dwarf, alongside a notice about Windless Steel Crafts forging nothing less than a genuine copy of Archaon's sword, the Slayer of Kings. Just for information. - About this thread's actual question; I'd like to see the XV22 stealth battlesuit from the Dawn of War franchise made into a model. Not a named character, true, but that remains a commander of the Tau Empire. And either Shas'O Kais or Shas'O Or'es'Ka as far as Dark Crusade and Soulstorm are concerned.

Well technically Shadowsun is already wearing a XV22 Stealth Battlesuit. ;) But yeah having it available for regular commanders as the fluff says it is would be great.

Gederas Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 This was brought up in the Psychic Awakening thread but:Asdrubael Vect AND I DON'T EVEN PLAY DARK ELDAR. I just think that would be a badass model. Especially if he's able to have his Dais of Destruction. Chapter Master Dubaku of the Celestial Lions Uhhhh.... Have you read Spear of the Emperor? He's dead. Because the Inquisition is more willing to let an entire area of space fall to Chaos than let their egos be hurt by having the Celestial Lions daring to cross them go unpunished Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/358448-which-character-do-you-think-deserves-a-model/page/2/#findComment-5390567 Share on other sites More sharing options...
