We have a whole lot of characters, but there are still quite a few from the older editions missing in this one. Do you think we have any hope of seeing these making the cut someday?
Astronomer
Beastman
Centaur
Chaos Dwarf
Dark Elf
Goblin Fanatic
Halfling
Herald
Hobgoblin
Inquisitor
Martial Artist
Orc
Pilgrim
Pit Fighter
Ranger
Samurai
Saracen
Satyr
Soldier
Swordsman
Templar
Wardancer
Warrior of Chaos
Witch Elf
Woodsman
Wraith
Zulu
Don't forget that some of the 3rd Edition characters were just reworked 2nd Edition character with new names. A bit like the Dark Cultist/Warrior of Chaos from 4th/2nd.
I'm going to make a version of them all I think!

We all can.
I think the one thing most of us can agree that would be fun to have are the other races of humanoids. I sort of understand some of the reasoning staying away from these races but I really want to see:
Astronomer
Beastman
Centaur
Chaos Dwarf
Dark Elf
Goblin
Fanatic
Halfling
Herald
Hobgoblin
Inquisitor
Martial Artist
Orc
Pilgrim
Pit Fighter
Ranger
Samurai
Saracen
Satyr
Soldier
Swordsman
Templar
Wardancer
Warrior of Chaos
Witch Elf
Woodsman
Wraith
Zulu
Skaven
High Elf (Magic user)
Lizardman
The ones I crossed out I believe we have something similar enough or it really does not interest me. I also added a couple that our group currently does use but all of the characters we made are very generic with similar stats to characters already in play just to keep the masses happy and not "break" the game with new abilities. ;-)
Some too are purely GW warhammer eg Wardancer, Witch Elf, Skaven, Chaos Dwarf although you can have them of course but I think they will be different than a pure warhammer version eg Skaven=Ratman.
There's also 7 characters from Jaskinia (The Cavern), somewhat official polish expansion for 2nd edition. (It was fully official in Poland, but created without permission from GW
)

Wampir - Vampire
Morlok - Morlock
Jasnowidz - Clairvoyant
Demon Zła - Demon of Evil
Wojownik z Zaświatów - Otherworldly Fighter
Edited by BludgeonThere's also six characters from Jaskinia (The Cavern), somewhat official polish expansion for 2nd edition. (It was fully official in Poland, but made without permission from GW
WOW cool, can you translate the special abilities and stats too?

Dude these are awesome!. yes please translate their abilities!
Those translations will be slightly edited where in the original didn't make any sense (for example, the monarch's ability to gain a weapon doesn't say at all where should it be taken from...)
