On the wishlisting front what are you guys hoping for?
Patriarch, different generation hyrids, new stealers, a magos and maybe a new creation or?

Yeah...I don't see them getting Battle Brothers with AM/IG.

Brood brothers are awesome and part of the fluff, but a new design for them specifically is not entirely necessary, IG or just about any regular human models would be entirely appropriate as they are quite literally physically just regular humans, just stealer DNA carriers and hypnotized followers. 4th gen hybrids could technically need new models though, as they are still ever so slightly alien looking, though can easily pass for regular humans.

The models most in need of new plastic are the 1st - 3rd gen hybrids, and a Magus. These are the unique things that have no representation in plastic. Depending on how they spin things, a Patriarch could or could not be in the mix, but they would have to differentiate from a brood lord in a more obvious way than they currently do. I have a feeling that a broodlord = patriarch going forward though. If they did make a fatty patriarch though, I would be thrilled!

So yeah, it would be great to see them get an entirely unique range (or perhaps an upgrade sprue for 4th gen and brood brothers), but at the least, it has to be 1st - 3rd gen options and a magus to make me happy

Wishing? A cult limousine.

Pretty sure the 'Stealer cult will at the very least, have a 'Stealer Magus or Patriarch .

I want a cult limo just because it is one of the coolest concepts in 40k.

+1 cult limo, though for my custom hybrids, I appropriated a Crassus transport as their 'Limo' ... a limo-limo would be dope though...

A new Patriarch and Magus. Cool looking hybrid genestealers.

Hoping that Stealers get to kick arse and take names in CC.

On a fluff or game balance basis?

It couldn't be fluffier. That's what Brood Brothers ARE. And balance...is something that GW doesn't really pay close attention to these days.

Well, even if we don't have any pics of the stuff we all really want to see (?!?), we at least have major...MajorTom11 action up here in this thread!

I can't see GW making a cult limo since it's too specific a model, it's not like a Chimera or a Rhino that can be used by multiple forces which are also part of a larger army (as in more sales).

A proper Patriarch would be nice, although I'm betting on yet another Broodlord.
Magus
Hybrids (having parts on the sprue for different generations would be cool, but I don't think the rules would need to deal with generations)
Limo/transport

Could be a nice, compact release. We'll see...

A somewhat more generic Imperial ground transport would be an interesting addition to the 40K range, however. Besides, Harlequins got the Starweaver...there's really no difference.

Are those chaos and khorne symbols on those genestealers and cultists??

Things worked a little differently back in the day... this was before Stealers were Tyranids, so there was such a thing as a chaos brood. At least in the artwork. I don't remember any actual story with a khorne genestealer or hybrid.

The fluff also mentioned the possibility of a daemon-possessed Patriarch.

@Talys: Ah....that brings back memories. I think of all the armies I have played I still love GSC the best. My hybrids couldn't hit the broad side of a barn but I loved playing the army nonetheless.

Chaos Genestealer cults are possible with current fluff. Genestealers cults are independent from the Hive Mind and don't have its protection against Chaos so they could become corrupted.

That's the reason why GW would make a limo. How many players already have Chimeras and Rhinos? How common, cheap and easy is it for people to buy discounted and used Chimeras and Rhinos?

By making a very specific brand new kit would increase sales for GW as nobody has them as parts of other armies and now has to buy them (at prices that are proabbly higher then your average Chimeras and Rhinos *Cough Turox Cough*).

Also #Teamcultlimo

Yes. Back in the olden days you used to be able to have chaos worshipping stealer cults. This represented weaker cults that were having problems taking hold on their own. The cult has no real need to worship chaos, but they did occasionally use them for a temporary power boost.

The patriarch wouldn't really see much benefit to the deal, other than some temporary power boost, but the chaos gods would see it as a bargain as a genestealer was an easily coruptable gateway to the physical realms

There was a full Chaos Genestealer Cult Army list in White Dwarf. Your Patriarch could be possessed by all sorts of daemons.

The throne from the Patriarch on throne set has an eight-pointed star on it.

Those also got full codex releases, with a full range of support kits and data cards.
As of now GSC is getting a board game and maybe some White Dwarf rules.
Nothing else has been confirmed or dated.

If GW does not make one, third parties will...

My realistic wish list for a post-Deathwatch game release:

Magus
Patriarch
Hybrid Kit (multi-part plastics to make various generations)
Cult Limo and/or Truck (pull it off correctly, they could share a kit)


My not-so-likely wishlist:

Human Rabble (civilians with eclectic mix of weapons and no armor)
New Genestealer kit w/ options to "bling" them up a bit to represent their worshipped status among the cult, plus a Broodlord and/or Patriarch option as part of the kit like the Ork Boyz Nob option.
(This could do double duty as a more detailed Genestealer kit for non-cult Tyranid armies, using the newer tech to make more detailed models, not that the current Stealers are bad or anything.)


I would also love it if they could be Battle Brothers with Imperial Guard and Tyranids (but maybe not at the same time...?)

Need cultists on that list.

Nitpicky I know, but there were not-so-pretty plastic hybrids in the Space Hulk Genestealer expansion.

New ones are certainly needed!

Has it been made clear yet whether the hybrids will be multi-part kits or monopose figures?

If they're going to be multi-part, I can't see GW not releasing them independently of this board game after awhile, and that would be the release I'd be most interested in.

Single figures like the Magus would likely be re-released, but at such a high price point that I wouldn't bother with them.
