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!

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.  ;-)

[Uvatha 160]

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.

[Bludgeon 331]

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 )

WOW cool, can you translate the special abilities and stats too?

Dude these are awesome!. yes please translate their abilities!

[Bludgeon 331]

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...)
