the only thing I was disappointed about was the lack of Cypher. I find his fluff cool, and they could have made a fallen angels list just by including him. instead we get the exact same paragraphs about him the last codex had. looks like I’ll have to keep him as a master for now……

Well, the Tau (rumoured to be soon) will likely be the ultimate litmus-test.

They are (I think) the one with the least SCs at the moment, and with no “even older” Codexes and discontinued ‘Doom-Rider’-style SCs either.

at least the Dark Angels got new models for some of theirs…and cypher is nowhere to be found in either codex…they missed a trick there…but yeah it seems to be looking grim on the special character front. Although those with few will get more but tge ones with a good selection will miss out i am guessing…
