What do you order GW to make?

No super-heavies, must follow the current pricing of $25 (or more!) for 10 infantry.

And if they don't make a profit GW can harvest your body for organs to make up the lost money

What do you ask for?

Plastic Great Coat Guard - 10 models - alternate head styles for Valhallans and Steel Legion / Krieg. Includes one of each special weapon, and one heavy weapon platform. £14.70. (Comparison - 10 Cadians with only Flamers/Grenade Launchers and no heavy weapons are £11.75)

Plastic Dark Eldar Warriors - 12 models - vastly superior design to the old models, and includes all weapon options from the new Dark Eldar codex which is released at the same time (hint hint). £14.70 (Comparison - 16 of the current awful warriors are £17.60)

Plastic Sisters of Battle - 10 Models - Posability. Comes with one of every special weapon, and all the squad leader upgrades from the new Inquisiton Codex which is released at the same time (hint hint). £19.55 (Comparison - 10 Metal Sisters are £22.50. 10 Plastic marines are £19.55)

So this is your semi-confirmed rumor thread to go with the wishlist thread?

Off the top of my head -
Daemon Prince, Trygon, Storm Troopers, Eldar Jetbikes, Gargoyles.

red marines sulking (they are angry alot.)

blue marines angry

green marines looking bored.

all of which contains a new heavy weapon equal or greater to 4th ed assault cannon.
Obviously add this weapon in new rules hint hint.

A Cadian Shock Troop kit that includes bits to field them as Grenadiers/Stormtroopers(heavier armor, backpack cabling for hellguns, stuff like that).
A new "High Elf Archer" kit, with slightly armored robes, and less monkey hands. Also...less silly tiaras please.
A new "Elf Warrior" kit, just robed elves with spears and a variety of shields, with bits to have them as Eternal Guard, High Elf Spearmen, Dark Elf Warriors, or Lothern Sea Guard.

I H8 you

Oooo good question

-Greatcoat guardsmen (with head options - Mordian, Valhallan, Steel Legion, DKoK, etc)

-Imperial Guard rough rider bikes

-Blood Pact troopers. It just needs to be done.

OK mine...

IG jeep, fast, 10/10/10 carries 6 guys. Options on it to make it a civilian transport or car.

Imperial Civlians, multipart figures as flexible as the Empire militia, suitable for IG, inquisition henchmen etc.

Mutants, to go wtih Codex Lost and Damned.

Oh wait, that might cost me my spleen. OK then...

Space Marines in historic armor, Marks I-V, old style special and heavy weapons.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Oh and for greatcoat guard you all do know about these right?

Renders are old, check their forums for the latest.

Penal Legion... Because they're cool, even if they're not all that spectacular on the field.

IG Rough Rider Bikes +1

Flash Gits (oh, the bits!!!!).

That's what a well-stocked bitz box is for. Or failing that, just pick up a bunch of random boxes of plastic troops that probably wouldn't fit well together and go crazy. That's why GW will never put out a LatD Codex, because there would be no marketing tie-ins.

- Plastic Leman Russ variant conversion kits.

- Plastic Chimera conversion kits to make the various artillery pieces.

- Guard special weapon teams. Like the heavies, only with plasma/meltaguns and so forth instead of heavy weapons.

I would order three boxes of new Dark Eldars greens!


Nah, I'm kidding. New Dark Eldar minis would be on the list though.

So lets say:

1. New Leman Russ (the current model is old and looks like a toy). Include turret conversion kits for all the variants. I bet this might even sell.

2. New Dark Eldar warriors with bits to make another unit (Wyches, Incubi, and Scourges could all be a possibility).

P.S. - Release a new Codex close to the same time.

3. Plastic towed artillery pieces for IG. Sort of like what FW has for the Death Korps of Krieg, only plastic. Oh man, this idea sounds even cooler after actually typing it out. Yes. Let's please do this one.

Tau Tetras triple pack.

Tau battlesuit based on a Forge World kit, with the various bitz currently provided in metal for Broadside and Commander, on the sprue in plastic.

Tau Kroot expansion pack with Hounds, Krootox, Shapers and some weapon options (Eviscerators maybe.)

Sure there would be.
They could easily make a Traitor Guard kit, with defiled armor, daemonic mutations, cult masks, banners, stuff like that.

Colonel Schaeffer and his Last Chancers in plastic.

Ibrahim Gaunt and Gaunt's Ghosts in plastic.

An Imperial Guard 'Heroes' boxed set...it would be the named guys from the latest IG Codex... in plastic.

1. Savage Orcs, including some kind of option to represent Big'uns, plus all the weapons available (HW&S, 2HW, Bow and HW) and of course full command. Box of 10, £15.

2. Boarboyz. 5 for £13.50. Again all options included.

3. Empire Knights. As they currently look bloody ridiculous next to Pistoliers and Outriders. Again 5 for £13.50 which I believe is the going rate for Cavalry.

1 - I would request a plastic obliterator box set to make them really easy to convert.

2 - a new ork buggy/skortcha/wartrak box set that allows you to make any of the three vehicles

3 - Imperial citizens - just like you said Kid_Kyoto, that is an awesome idea. I play Dark Heresy as well and i incorporate miniatures for the PCs as well as the baddies and i am always trying to find cool minis for them and Imperial citizens box would be awesome for that!

Yeah, they even do Chaos Leman Russes, just add spikes!

But seriously, there's a lot of cool things GW could do with LatD, including traitor guard and mutants kits, maybe even some weird allied aliens like Hrud or (dare I say it) Squats (maybe just one unit, like artillery crews or something).

Now all they need is an army list! Oh. Yeah.

1) Truescale Marines
2) Truscale Leman Russ
3) Plastic Tyrant/Flyrant.

Grey Knights with special weapons: 1 Justicar, 7 PAGK, incinerator and psycannon. Or just the bits to make 2 incinerators aor psycannons. Price: $37.75

Grey Knight Terminators: 5 to a box, but give both options for them, either storm bolter/NFW or TH/SS. Perhaps add in the FAQ that they can take NFW AND storm shields. Instead of an incinerator, put in a psycannon option. Price: $55.

Ravener Brood: Like a Tyranid Warrior brood, 3 Raveners with weapon options as needed for them. Price: $30

Ork Dread in plastic
Ork Kanz in plastic
Kroothounds and Krootox in plastic

New tactical SM box
Plastic Thunderfire
Plastic SM Veterans

Um, why the new Tac Marine box? I mean plastic veterans and a Thunderfire cannon, fair enough. But a new Tac Marine box? Seriously?


Oh, I get it. You're joking. This has to be a joke.

Plastic Jervis Johnson for 45 dollars

Plastic Andy Chambers/Pete Haines/Matt Ward for 35 dollars

Plastic Gav Thorpe on dragon for 75 dollars

Plastic Sisters
Plastic Sisters
Plastic Seraphim

If I didn't already have a small mountain of Guardsmen, I'd second the call for for Greatcoat Guard -- full-mask longcoated; "faceless" with no exposed skin. 20 models for $35.

As it is, I guess I'll focus on what I'd actually buy...

1. Daemonettes -- the OOP "sexy" Juan Diaz sculpts, but in plastic. 10 models for $20

2. Eldar Jetbikes -- the Jes Goodwin sport bike sculpt. 5 models for $25

3. Leman Russ, mk.2 -- baneblade-styled and proportioned. $40 each.


Otherwise, if we're talking about Codex support:
1. Traitor Guardsmen,
2. Mutants, and
3. Cultists
Guess what that gives us...

1. Generic Inquisitor and retinue boxed set, contains enough parts for one Inquisitor and a retinue of four, preferably with the following: servitor with options for servo arm or ranged weapon, an acolyte, sage, psyker and several bits and bobs to represent familiars.
2. Imperial Guard equipment sprue: just a sprue with bits and bobs to make your dogfaces less plain. Stuff like backpacks, heads without helmets, grenades, knives, entrenching tools and other stuff, like the FW Cadian upgrade packs.
3. Imperial Navy Armsmen, as Jes Goodwin designed them. Big armoured suits with diving suit like helmets, big M32 shotguns, boarding gaffs and a single Imperial Navy officer, a younger version of the Naval Fleet attaché found in the IG Advisor blister. About ten models per box with options for shotguns, boarding weapons and flamers. Maybe also special navy issue items such as scanners, breaching charges, melta bombs and void gear.

I'd, personally, rather see the Navy Security Details from Eisenhorn made into plastics

They could make for some nice Grenadier vets/Inquisitorial Stormtroopers.

I've got to go with the sets that I could use for 40K skirmish games:

1. Imperial citizens like Kid Kyoto described

2. Cadian accessory sprue: Similar to what BrookM described but I'd also like to see shotguns, open ammo pouch, demo charges, mines, vehicle stowage, casualty figures, and some new arms. It would be nice to have a pair of arms holding binoculars, a right arm holding a lasrifle power pack to reload, and maybe a pair of arms with a lasrifle ready to either bayonet stab someone or butt whip them. I'd also like a Cadian on a stretcher, a doctor, and some field nurses. Hey, I can dream!

3. Urban terrain Gothic Style: Street signs, trash receptacles, street lights, manhole covers, sewer drains, smaller doors and windows than the Cities of Death buildings.


Hmm....guess I know what my future sculpting experiments are going to be. Kid Kyoto's thread may have cursed me to a life of despair or inspired me to future success. Time to break out the ProCreate.

Traitor Guardsmen.

Plastic Stormtroopers.

Plastic Grey Knights.
