Default new emperor model?

my friend said that when 5th edition is relised they will be making a model for the new emperor

the problem i have with trusting him is...

i didnt know there was a new emperor and wouldnt he be too powerful?

there never was an Emperor model in the first place.. to my understanding...

IMO - this rumor.. wouldn't sound really true... won't make sense to make an emperor model.

Well this is the 1st I've heard of it- I think your friend is BSing you. You'd have to ask the Vets who've been in the hobby more than 10yrs but I dont think there has ever been an Emperor model and I cant imagine they'd release one for 5th Edition

in over 15 years of gaming the only emp minis i've ever seen have been ones that someone has spent ages converting. although i can see gw releasing a special release mini along the likes of the gotrex and felix collection they did a while back for fantasy, that isn't beyond the realms of possibility but it wouldn't have tt rules.

I am pretty sure your buddy is pulling your leg there buddy. But if there ever was such a model released, I'm pretty sure it would be ment as some sort of collectors item, I mean it wouldnt be beyond GW or any gaming company to do something like that. Maybe they would throw in some 'special' rules for him for 'special' scenarios or whatever. That might be kinda cool actually lol. Definetly a model I would love to have even if I couldnt use it =P

I have been collecting mini's since the early 70's and GW since they started and I don't remember any mini of the Emperor. But I have to agree it would make a nice collectable.

with Rellik, and Scoutmaster477, very cool to have one BUT I think hes Blowin Smoke!!!

Now at the risk of OFFENCE..... I think a model of the 40K Emperor of Man would be like a statue of The Almighty. You cannot personify an idea and I think it is a hand in hand likeness of a religion. Sure make statues of the God Emperors sons to put in the dash of your Chimera, BUT not of the Emperor. Catch the SYMBOLOGY??? (Name that Movie!!!)

It should be well known what the Emperor looks like, he was alive 10k years ago. I am sure some images of him remain.

and the move was Boondock Saints.

Special Rules:
Can re-roll failed hits, wounds, armor saves, armor penetration

must bring Horus
at the start of the battle roll a D6 and on a roll of 2-6 all of your units gain the starts of the Emperor. On a 1, Horus betrays you, and him and helf of your army can be used by your opponent

On the other hand...

the Emperor

Stats:
Better than whatever the enemy has
Doesn't need to roll... the Emperor automatically hits and wounds anything it attacks, no saves of any kind are allowed.
At the beggining of the battle, roll a D6, no matter what you roll, your oppenent loses, unless he has Horus, but then he still loses, just at the very end of the game.

Points:1500... or upto how many points you are playing.

Can only be used by powergamers.

of course... that was all tongue-in-cheek...

Honestly, an Emperor model would be the stupidest thing ever... because then we would need stats... and the stats above are probably to weak for the Emperor... considering how powerful he was...
