What old models would Dakka like to see available to buy? Not just GW, but as many obscure 80's/90's companies as you like.

I personally would love a copy of the unreleased Cadian General. The miniature just oozes personality to me.

Kasrkins.
The daemons from the early 2000s.

Epic.

I think it would be interesting if GW re-issued the original Rougre Trader Space Marines boxed set at the original price.

I would like to see what modern players would say about such supposedly unsophisticated models that come 30 to a box with optional weapons and wargear, for £10.

Silent Puffin beat me to Epic so;

GW Spear and Bow armed Gobbos from 1987 by Kev Adams.

GWs Judge Dredd range from 1985-86 specifically the Slaughter Margin set. So much more charm than the mongoose ones.

The original range of slotta Chaos Dwarves from '87.

Basically anything from GW circa 1986-1991 when they made a hugely diverse range of models that randomly appeared in whatever time some loon in Nottingham came up with it!

This and the screamer killer. I'd love the old battle wagon to be available again.

Metal miniatures for character models instead of this overpriced plastic garbage we're getting right now. SM veterans especially:

Some of the old Marauder ogres.

The Marauder giant.

Marauder black orcs.

The Lava Dragon.

Plastic Daleks.... (Remember when GW had Dr Who minis?)

The Auld Grump

I'd like to see the Citadel FA line switched over to slotta bases.

Epic. Kasrkins. The original Beaky Marines.

Diaz Deamonettes

Escher Gang

Original Plastic Tryanid warriors

Squats! Definitely squats.

You mean these guys?



a miss for me.

The metal marauder Dwarves, in particular, the slayers.

Tyranids:
Original Tyranid Carnifex (Screamer Killer)
Original Tyranid Hive Tyrant
+1 Vote for the original Tyranid warriors.

Eldar:
RT era Eldar Musicians
I miss the crested helmets and mohawk hair from the old metal guardians.

Imperial Guard (Ahem: Astra Militarum)
MK1 Stormtroopers - Ahem: Tempestus Militarum (Berets)
MK2 Stormtroopers (Gas Masks)
Female commissar

Space Marines:
Poofy sleeve scouts.

Imperial Robots from Space Crusade. IMHO, these guys look way better than the Kastelan eggheads.

The original metal Greater Daemons with all the bits as multi-part plastic kits - much better Daemon Prince models than the current Daemon Prince models.

Kasrkins, Diaznetts, the entirety of Ral Partha, Grenadier, and Rackham's catalogs. Or at least the dragons, big monsters, and wolfen.

Battlefleet Gothic ships.

The Adeptus Mechanicus miniatures from the Skullz promotion.

IG Praetorians
Juan Diaz Daemonettes/Seekers
Early Slotta Dwarves

Ral Partha Lord Soth's Charge

Most of the old citadel & marauder halflings



http://www.collecting-citadel-miniatures.com/wiki/index.php/Halflings_-_Slotta_Based

and most of the Rackham stuff before they moved to plastic prepaints

Bloodbowl.

I'd like for the old Confrontation models to be put back into production, especially the Venator Gangers.

Those were some cool looking models.

Squats and Necromunda.

Truthfully, I'm not sure I'd buy any at current GW prices. However, it would make it more likely that they'd show up on the second hand market at more reasonable prices than they currently go for.

I used to pine for the Metal Magic Spacelords line to be re-released. For about a decade there was only a small selection on the EM4 page. However, when they finally were released more widely (starting about a year ago) I had moved on to other interests and sold my collection.

I'd love to see the old-style Ral Partha Hexatrix riders.

Another vote for Confrontation. Those were some awesome minis. Rarely a dud in the later years.

The FW Epic/Aeronautica Imperialis/BFG models. Beautiful models that were way better than the "main GW" stuff, but I guess GW was absolutely determined to kill off anything that isn't a "core" game. Also, the old FW terrain pieces. It's much nicer than any of the modern plastic terrain "main GW" makes but it didn't sell well enough to keep it in production (which is a sad comment on how little people value having a nice looking table). I'd love to have easier access to the OOP terrain without having to hope that it someday comes up on ebay at a price that isn't too horrible.

The plastic Warlord Titans from Adeptus Titanicus!

Kasrkin.

Battlefleet Necron Gothic.

Squats, and the second edition land speeders.

Forest Goblin Archers, along with the full Epic range.
