HE'S COMING, HE'S COMING, HE'S COMING!

Cypher is a pretty impressive Independent Character who Games Workshop never releases rules for despite his model being available fucking forever and being referenced every 12 seconds in Dark Angels fluff.

He's basically a Fallen Dark Angel who dual-wields pistols - one Plasma, one Bolt, and both master-crafted - and wears a sweet bone white hoodie over his power armour. Whenever he pops up on the Dark Angel radar, the Inner Circle loses its shit and dispatches the Deathwing and Ravenwing to bring the fucker in but they never can. They've claimed kills, but he always fucking shows up again. Cypher is as elusive as Robert Denby, a living urban legend who either has the patronage of a Chaos god, granting him immortality until he finishes his long mission, a title passed down among agents of the Fallen, a son of a bitch who sold us out the Machines, or a bunch of random dudes pulling the Spartacus Manuver.

Either way, he is slowly heading in the direction of Holy Terra, a bizarre mission that has the DarkAngels worried as hell. He may even want a word with the God-Emperor. "OH SHIT HE'S GONNA TATTLE ON US!" In truth it's believed that he has the Primarch's sword, which got broken, and that he intends to fix it and return it to the Emperor, ergo earning his absolution.

Or so the rumors go.

This would be an intriguing, suspenseful plotline if Games Workshop ever fucking bothered to progress the storyline.

Also, he is sometimes depicted with green armour even though pre-Heresy Dark Angel armour was black...and oh fuck it who gives a shit. The fact that he shows up all over the place, dressed exactly like a Dark Angel, the chapter that calls itself the Unforgiven (which they really shouldn't because it makes people wonder what kind of shit you pulled) should have turned some heads within the Inquisition, but everyone in the future is retarded.

Lost and the Damned

Cypher is currently only playable in a Lost and the Damned army list, which is now both not allowed in tournaments and hopelessly out-of-date.
