Indefragable Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 (edited) Just musing about other characters I'd like to see get official representation in the game, first with rules but if we're dreaming then models too. Part of the joy of the community aspect of the hobby is learning who other people really like and want to see. So this is a discussion about who we would like to see in future books, and if you feel like it, when they might appear in the series of black books. Another part of the fun is when FW comes out with interesting characters we've never encountered before and fleshes them out; fluff wise it makes the setting all the more lived-in and real and crunch wise it can introduce some interesting design space, especially if they provide abilities against type. That being said, there are still some known players we would all like to see enter the game in some way. For example, I was quite disappointed that Targutai Yesugei was not manifested for the White Scars; he's such an iconic character and one of the best bits (IMO) of the HH and especially the WS' arc. I really hope he gets rules and/or a model down the line. At this point, unless they randomly throw him in, I would expect him to crop up in the Black Book equivalent of Path of Heaven, though that would be a shame since it would be fun to get more "use" out of TY before that point in the narrative. Who would you most like to see? Note: italics are used to denote guesses or placeholders Attempt to build a comprehensive list of who we already have (will go back and update this): Hidden Content Legiones Astartes I Lion El'Jonson Corswain Medruk Dreadwing guy Farith Redloss (Master of the Dreadwing) Holguin (Master of the Deathwing) III Fulgrim Eidolon Saul Tarvitz Rylanor the Unyielding IV Perturabo Erasmus Golg Kyr Vhalen Other guy from book 6 V Jaghatai Khan Qin Xa Tsolomon Khan VI Leman Russ Non-Bjorn Fell-Handed Hvarl Redblade VII Rogal Dorn Sigismund Alexis Pollux VIII Konrad Curze Sevatar Mawdrym Llansahai Nakrid Thole (new guy in Book 9) The Coward guy from Book 6 IX Sanguinius Raldoron Judiciar Aster Crohne X Ferrus Manus Shadrak Meduson Autek Mor Castrmen Orth XII Angron Khârn Shabran Darr Gahlan Surlak, Master of the Inductii XIII Robot Guilliman Remus Ventanus XIV Mortarion Calas Typhon Crysos Morturg Durak Rask XV Magnus the Red Ahriman Amon XVI Horus Lupercal Abaddon Maloghurst Garviel Loken Tybalt Marr XVII Lorgar Aurelian Kor Phaeron Erebus Hol Beloth Zardu Layak XVIII Vulkan Nomus Why/Tan Cassian Dracos (two versions) Other Chaplain guy in Book 6 XIX Corvus Corax Alvarez Maun Kaedes Nex XX Alpharius Armillus Dynat Exodus Harrowmaster guy from Book 6 Other Imperials Adeptes Custodes ValdorSisters of Silence Jenetia Krole Knights Errant Nathanial Garro Tylos Rubio Blackshields Nemean Reaver World Eaters guy who becomes Knight Errant Solar Auxilia Mesade Medic guy Who "we" would like to see: Hidden Content Legiones Astartes I Luther Commander of Firewing (unknown name as of now) Commander of Stormwing (unknown name as of now) Commander of Ironwing (unknown name as of now) Commander of Ravenwing (unknown name as of now) II Bob ....I'm just assuming there had to be at least one Bob in the legion, erased from history or not III Arkaduana Lucius IV Forrix Barabas Dantioch Barban Falk Toramino - Master of the Stor-Bezashk V Targutai Yesugei Jubal Khan Shiban Khan VI Bjorn the actual Fell-Handed Kva Who-Is-Divided (RunePriest) Gunnar Gunnhilt?

WrathOfTheLion Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 (edited) I would really like to see Luther, so I second that one. In Book 9, there is a map at the beginning showing something called the Nightmare Passage from Horus' Dark Empire and the Dark Mech world of Xana II going to Caliban, so perhaps they could do something with a campaign of Dark Mech/Sons of Horus vs the 1st Legion. Lucius I think needs to come for the IIIrd, and Horus Aximand and Tarik Torgaddon for the XVI. Some of those should just be revised as additions to Book I, maybe one day they do a revision of the book and add them in. For the XVII, I would like to see Argel Tal, who could arrive in the Shadow Crusade. I assume the UM characters could be added then as well. Those are the ones I'm most interested in I think.

Sothalor Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 For the World Eaters, maybe some of the characters from Betrayer? I don't really remember the names right now - Delvarus was one of them, I think? I remember there being somebody who was a member of the Destroyers and had permanent rad scarring. There was also the Dreadnought who was a master of the War Hounds prior to Angron, that'd be interesting to see. For the XVIth, I think they're due for a big update a la Night Lords in Book 9; they have some of the earliest legacy rules, and they also undergo changes throughout the course of the Heresy. Updated rules and fluff to represent stuff like their own Gal Vorbak units would be interesting. Maybe somebody along the lines of Argonis - a Dark Herald sort of dude who provides army buffs/debuffs or a Rite of War? Ingo Pech (or was it Sheed Ranko?) - the First Captain - for the Alpha Legion.

Good ideas on them all. I am looking forward to almost every Legion getting a NL style soft-reboot/re-dux at some point in the cycle. Book 1 factions (SoH, EC especially) could sure use it. World Eaters are one that I am looking forward them telling us about, since beyond Khan and yea maybe Delvarus (sp?) I can't really think of any named characters in the lore from the time period. Good calls on Argonis and Ingo Pech.

Sothalor Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Hey Indy, are you looking for a discussion purely on which named characters we'd like to see incorporated into the game system, completely agnostic of what those rules might look like (ie. here's a name, let the studio figure out everything else), or are you also interested in ideas as to what we the community think those rules could/should look like (ie. Argel Tal with a Gal Vorbak statline and a Sentinel Blade)?

lansalt Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 For the Imperial Fists, this would be supercool: Appius "father of Dreadnoughts",a veteran of terran unification and the first of the VII legion to become a dread: https://www.reddit.com/r/40kLore/comments/cjhaz0/book_excerpt_champion_of_oaths_sigismund_fights_a/ (Going by the text, seems like a MkV boxnaught with shield and hammer) Bung and Indefragable 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/366536-community-wishlist-for-official-characters/#findComment-5602950 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Argel Tal with a Gal Vorbak statline and a Sentinel Blade)? Mainly characters that "we" know about already and would like to see implemented into the game. I guess that's the Primary question. The secondary would be characters that exist and maybe shouldn't get rules except for the fact that they are a counter-point or something else interesting to existing setups. Example: Hidden Content Primary: "It's a shame the BA don't have rules for Stabby McStabface because he was so good at stabbing faces in all 54 books of the HH novel series." Secondary: "It'd be cool if the BA got rules for Shooty McShootface. He only features in one short story, but the fact that he was a BA adept at shooting people instead of stabbing them would be a cool way of fleshing out the Legions builds a bit more." ...I guess what I'd like to stay away from his just inventing characters or people to fill in gaps in the existing rules: that can be for another topic. This is about established (with very loose criteria for that) characters that would be great to see in-game. Aka no head-canon/homebrew dudes, but if someone is in a BL/GW/FW work somewhere and you can make a case (again, extremely loose criteria for that) for them being in the game, go for it. And this is all fun, so if you want to provide the rules you'd like to see for a character, have at it. Let's just all be respectful and not :cuss all over each's efforts because we prefer the guy to wear white socks instead of black socks.

Sothalor Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 I get ya, it's just that if we're discussing what rules may/may not look like for individuals, that opens up dimensions of design space, intended roles, overlap with existing characters, etc. I'm not looking to say "no you're wrong, character X should do this, not that, and cost Y points EXACTLY", more along the lines of... Okay, here's an example that came to mind reading the thread: Fafnir Rann for the Fists. I am going into this with the operating assumption that we want the rules to reflect the background as much as is feasible (else, why bother with the named dudes, right?). What do we know about Rann? He leads an assault company, tends to roll with Breachers, he uses a power axe, and he uses a big-ass shield. In game terms, a power axe is an Initiative 1, AP2 weapon. So: Breachers, Shield, Unwieldy AP weapon - that seems to me to overlap a fair bit with Pollux's rules. I'm also operating with the assumption that we want the named characters to be fairly distinctive. So bearing that in mind, how would we make Rann stand apart from Pollux? I just think it'd be fun to see people's ideas in this regard.

I just think it'd be fun to see people's ideas in this regard. It's a great point of discussion. And it's also a taste for all of us what the devs face on a daily basis. "Here's a World Eater who's really good in a scrap." <looks at every single other World Eater character> etc... For me, that's the fun of topics like this though: how should Rann differ from Pollux? Is one better at combat and the other better at buffing? Is one better at solo'ing squads and the other better at 1:1 fights? Rann would probably buff Breachers (even more?) . Hmmmmmmm. I'll need to think on this one. On a personal note, I like the idea of Azkaellon and Amit being polar opposites design-wise, just as they are in the fluff: Hidden Content Azkaellon is "untouchable" because he is the master of defense, able to hold his own against pretty much anyone in the galaxy, but he can often be slow to dispatch his opponent Amit is the unstoppable force, basically going berzerk and forgoing any defense for all out offense. Raldoron is sort of the mid-ground/combination of both (which is what makes him the legend/Big Four that he is). So from a design perspective Azkaellon could be -1 To Hit, or re-roll failed invulns or such, but only have 2-3A, while Amit could be Khârn Jr or something. ....but the above is a layup since there's literally a short story that lays out the above I'm starting to break my own rules here, but in general I would like to see more shooty characters, guys with BS6+ or cool guns or ways of getting a bit more out of shooting. Any characters in the fluff that are explicitly good at that, or can be interpreted rules-wise into being shootier? lansalt and Sothalor 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/366536-community-wishlist-for-official-characters/#findComment-5603006 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sothalor Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 So the thing with Rann is in the books he tends to hang with Sigismund more than Pollux (admittedly, Pollux being trapped on the other side of the galaxy plays a small role in that). And here I think is actually a good place to contrast them with rules; Sigismund is a dueling monster, and Rann could be more of a squad blender - something to showcase the ferocity that will eventually found the Executioners Chapter. I'm starting to break my own rules here, but in general I would like to see more shooty characters, guys with BS6+ or cool guns or ways of getting a bit more out of shooting. Any characters in the fluff that are explicitly good at that, or can be interpreted rules-wise into being shootier? Hmm, this is interesting. Off the top of my head, I can't really think of any Marine characters from the BL publications that really fits this bill. There was the Vindicare sniper from Nemesis turned daemonic sharpshooter, but that's all that comes to mind currently. I was always bummed we didn't get stories about, say, Exodus or Kaedes Nex.

Marshal Rohr Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 (edited) Ok I thought about it some more. Sigismund is the Fists Combat Character, and lets you make Templar themed armies. Polux is the Fist Tactician Character but his deep strike and reserve buff don’t work well with Stone Gauntlet So what Id like to see is Rann buff Stone Gauntlet (+1 to Breacher Shield Inv for a squad would be Sickkkk). Mixed with Phalanx Warders as troops (and hopefully recosted Breachers) you could really go nuts with an all shield army. Also, Archamus could be interesting assuming Huscarl become Deathwing Companions life. The father of Dreadnaughts could be cool, but so could a character that doesn’t really fit the Fist archetypes like a Moritat. To double down on the siege theme maybe a Camba-Diaz like character that is a Praetor level siege breaker or master of signal. Fists new special units should definitely be huscarls in power armor with the option to take terminator armor and maybe some kind of Elite siege Dreadnaught variant that comes with a siege drill for Contemptors like the artwork Edited September 16, 2020 by Marshal Rohr Denton25, lansalt and Sothalor 3 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/366536-community-wishlist-for-official-characters/#findComment-5603010 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps Rann provides Counter-Attack and other buffs to Breachers/Phalanx Wardens so they operate even more so like Roman Legions who are better at taking charges than actually charging. Or perhaps Rann's shtick is he gives the attached Breacher/Warden squad Chosen Warriors so each member can give/recieve Challenges. That would be interesting design space, being the anti-special snowflake, the ultimate tarpit. Whereas Siggy is the charge-in-and-murderize, and Pollux is the maneuver guy, Rann is the true defender, picking an Obj in the game that will not be taken. Ya know, like an Imperial Fist? ...of course what do we then do with Camba Diaz....

Marshal Rohr Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 (edited) @Indefragable and Iansalt, love both those ideas. A Mortificator/Chaplain dread would be too cool. Rann being a character, 2W terminator killing tar pit that needs big guns to take down really fits well. Jumping in on other Legions: Space Wolves: A unique Runepriest and Deathspeaker(?) would be cool. Especially if they can take the Runewatchers in bone armor armor from the books as a unique bodyguard. Blood Angels: Azkaellon is probably too popular not to do, but I wouldn’t mind A siege breaker type, even though it’s counter intuitive. In 1st Edition space marine blood angels were known for being fortress takers and siege fighters believe it or not. A siege breaker terminator would be a pretty cool call back to that. Death Guard: they need a Destroyer character, for sure. A suped up moritat or praetor that unlocks destroyers on foot as compulsory troops. I’d also like to see them get an Armistos type named character with Chemflamer Iron Warriors: definitely need Forrix but he needs to shift from tanks and artillery to an elite spearhead of trench raiders. Old lore always mentioned how Iron Warriors would fight like World Eaters or Blood Angels once the walls came down.
