I kinda like Tallarn IG, or maybe Elysians in plastic.

I have to say Dark Eldar though. Only if the models are good enough and they've put the same effort into the rules as they have all the 40k books recently.

If you enjoy the hobby by bringing less competitive, more fluffy armies, then i can respect you for that, but i'd ask that you not think less of me just because I am enjoying the hobby in a different way.

Inquistion . Anything to do with them , I dont mind the metal ones its just plastic would be much cheaper . I would probably get more daemons , even though my chaos army is more like the Alpha legion.

Plastic Elysians would rock my world. Other than that, theres no pure/largely metal army that i would be more inclined to collect were it plastic, though I hope the Tau get their few metal kits redone in plastic. But they'd still need a 5th edition codex for me to end up buying an army of them.

I would find a Dark Eldar army hard to resist if it was all plastic, provided they dealt with the issues that dog the current designs. They will have to think up something cleverer than just adding blades and spikes to everything.

I'd be very tempted by a plastic Sisters army, but I'd want to see the same level of fine detail they've put into the new Blood Angels plastics. And more dynamic poses than the curent metal Sisters. I suspect it will be a long time before we see plastic Sisters though, as they have never been big sellers. And I think one of the main reasons they aren't more popular is that few people (including me) can paint female faces well, but I digress.

I just don't know why they're shooting at us. All we want to do is bring them democracy and white bread. Transplant the American dream. Freedom. Achievement. Hyperacidity. Affluence. Flatulence. Technology. Tension. The inalienable right to an early coronary sitting at your desk while plotting to stab your boss in the back.

Well judging by this forum the reason SoB arn't more popular is because they arn't in plastic, closely followed by deamonhunters, then deamons, then varrying IG regiments.

Really could have guessed as these are the armies you need alot of models for and metal is expensive.
