As the title say; What army would you collect if GW brought them out as plastics?

I'll start off i'd collect Valhallan Ice Warriors

The forgeworld chaos renegades.

Death Korps of Kreig

Dark Mechanicus

squats!

(oh.. SOMEONE was gonna say it.. )

I would get a Necron army, because they look awesome, and I want something that is pure-robotic.

Vallhallan ice warriors

Pure plastic? Thousand Sons.

Any Army pretty much? only plastic? would be awesome.

Grey Knights, always wanted some of them, never got around due to the fact that there army is almost pure metal, never liked models that looked the same all the time

But if necrons became a all metal army then ill be loaded on them. After all necrons are made of metal correct?

KRIEG! KRIEG! KRIEG!

Although, I'd have a reason to buy more GKs if they were plastic.

Skitarii

failing that, IG infantry.

This.

I would have to second that. I am already close to convincing myself to start lizardmen and plastic terradons (maybe a better looking slann too) would probably put me over.

Thousand Sons.....and Hrud

Adeptus Mechanicus.

Adeptus Custodes...of course those new Gold BA models would make some interesting conversions....


Hmmmm...

My Cadians would all join the Armageddon Steel Legions..

Plastic or inexpensive? I would totally collect everything if I had the money for it. Thats really the only thing stopping me from getting an army. Can I afford a 1500 point army in 6 months?

Grey Knights or other assorted Daemon hunters because IMHO they have the best looking models.

Praetorians or Steel Legion,I'd love to see them done in plastic.

an entire vostroyan army.

Witch Hunters.... do it, bring the

Slaanesh Sisters of Battle.

Oh Yeah!

Probably an IG Veteran mech army made up entirely of Kasrkin models.

Or even better, a Grey Knights army with a bunch of IST using Kasrkin models.

My marines, finnally I could have bolter baranig GK's

Basically any of the non-plastic IG regiments.
But first they would have to re-do the Valhallans.
God those are awful models.

Forge world renegades (but I collect them as resin...)

Steel Legion and Death Guard.

Eldar, or Dark Eldar. I means seriously, would they made plastics without removing those god-awful models?


On the other hand, fully plastic Tau would be nice.

Terrax Guard

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.

Steel legion and SOB

Nurgle Demons

Any Metal Daemon. Cus i'd like to say... Horrors are too spindly to build with super glue cus the arms stick to your fingers....
That and the Bloodthirster and Lord Of Change is a Fether to build...
stupid wings....

Grey knights for me.

Praetorians or Mordians.

Or maybe SOB.

SOB i think. i also wouldn't complain if they brought out sternguard as plastic models

Saying what a friend of mine... But I'm pretty sure the question was for existing arimies, so it doesn't really count:

Skaven!

acastonguay wrote:Steel legion and SOB

Oh yeah, mark me down for plastic Sisters, too. Only if they look as good as the metal models, though.

More Goff Rockers. An army of them even

Shadowbrand wrote:Steel Legion and Death Guard.

Y'know,even though the last thing on this earth I need is MORE Death Guard, if GW released them in plastic I'd buy them in a heartbeat.

When I played 40k, I always wanted to run a Valhallan army.

In the end, though, I'd go with PAN-FO

Steel legion, but only with redesigned tanks. Current gaurd tanks look stupid to me.

If not that, then Chaos Daemons.
Plastic plaguebearers, horrors and bloodcrushers? And Greater Daemons?
Yes. Please.

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.

DKOK or Kaskrin

Titan Legion 2 Warhound 1 Reaver and 1 Warlord or a Vahallan Army because they looook cool

If there was a Mordian/Praetorian 2-in-1 kit I'd buy that in a heartbeat.

Sidstyler wrote:Oh yeah, mark me down for plastic Sisters, too. Only if they look as good as the metal models, though.

This. A thousand times this!

Brother SRM wrote:If there was a Mordian/Praetorian 2-in-1 kit I'd buy that in a heartbeat.

That would be a very cool idea indeed,I too would grab that up.

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.

Plastic daemons, that would be a big leap for me, hate to have an army that would eventually weight more than I do.

Eleysians!

Tallarn for me, especially plastic Tallarn Rough Riders

Demiurg.


Because they're not Squats.

Honest

+1 for Inquisition plastics. After that it would be a titan warhound.

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.

Vostroyans.

Tanith Imperial Guard.

And I would renew some DE units, and increase the size of my SoB.

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.

Another hand for Sisters.

Although that all female Guard regiment from the old codex would make me spend lots of money as well.

Adeptus Mechanicus

Would buy these until I couldn't spend more then sell 2 of my current armies and buy some more.

Death Korp.

Nothing I don't already have.

GK in plastic would just mean more people with less ability will glue the wrong bits together with no sense of rhyme or reason. Just like a lot of SM players under the age of 12.

The only reason I collect the models I do is because I like the sculpts - and I will collect them regardless of whether they are metal or plastic.

Female IG, Tech Guard, and then the other IG regiments.

I would collect Space Marines.

oh wait...

+ 1 For death Korps,

Heck I wouldeven get a job to be able to afford an entire apocolypse army.

That is how far I would go

Hmm... this is actually a very difficult question, as I already own several very large armies, covering most of the army archetypes. About the only army I don't already own for 40k is a Xenos horde, and I'm OK with Nids, but they're already mostly available in plastic, so if I haven't bought them, I probably won't.

Of the various non-plastic armies I already own for 40k (metal Eldar, metal IG, metal Inq. Storms, metal Sisters of Battle), the only one I'd consider expanding would probably be Sister, but that isn't really collecting a new army.

If GW were to do a good job making an authentic Cathayan (Chinese) army for Warhammer, one that didn't mismash other Asian elements, and something that wasn't based on blatantly racist stereotypes, I'd definitely jump in. To date, I doubt GW would do a good job here, so I'd rather wait until after GW tackles Ind (India) due to the large number of subcontinental Indians in Britian available to advise GW how to represent non-European forces in a non-racist fashion.

Grey Knights of course.

Right, but plastics are considerably easier to assemble, paint, offer more modelling opportunities, and are cheaper as well.

You sound like your a really well off person to have so many armies, sadly not everyone is so fortunate.
Though your idea about a Chinese army is interesting, have you been thinking about this for a while?

I think I do OK money-wise, tho I have had the advantage of playing since 2E, so I did my buying and trading of armies over several years. As wargaming armies are strictly accumulative (every model you buy increases your army), if you keep buying, armies eventually get very large over time.

I'd like to play a Chinese army, but have gotten very sick of the stereotyping that pops up by GW. I don't like it when GW does it because it's just lazy and disrespectful. Hopefully, GW gets past this in the future.

I would be all over steel legion and maybe death guard.

Im making a squats army Off the Vanilla marine codex

Praetorians.

H.B.M.C. wrote:Adeptus Mechanicus.

Oh my, yes.

I was going to say Death Korps but I would love an AdMech army even more.

Dath Korps of Krieg

Mechanicus

Now i'm licking my lips at the idea of plastic Sisters. Might have to put off my plastic Valhallan army.

Squats definitely.
I have this old book called Codex Imperialis, and has rules for all the 40k armies out in 1993.
The Squat rules are pretty awesome.
Anyway they should bring them back.A local GW worker hinted they might release them again

Codex Imperialis would be a good book to review the way Kid Kyoto has done a couple times. Or has he already done this one?

It's been done(I don't think he did it, but it was done in his style).

I'd buy a Fimir army if GW did them in plastic.

Sisters or Lost and the Damned.

Sisters,Vostroyans or Lost and the Damned

Sisters for sure, and I'd consider Necrons or DE depending on resculpts.

Deamonhunters

40K - Sisters

WHFB - Cathay or Nippon Armies

Fremen, or maybe even the Imperial House.

We can't all convert our own, after all...

Thousand Sons.

DEATH KORPS. maybe if enough people say this they would actually produce it. yeah, right...

Grey Knights

Death Korps, only because it was a pain in the butt to try and paint little skulls in iron legion troops.

chunky monkey wrote:Grey Knights or other assorted Daemon hunters because IMHO they have the best looking models.

I agree GK do have that midevil 40K vibe, i would love if GW redid those.

Nurgle Daemons

NIPPON!

Let's see... Orks and Space Marines are pretty much 100% plastic already and what isn't plastic can easily be converted, so let's exclude those.

I would break down and start my first IG army if I could do it with DKoK plastics. As much as I love the Elysian vehicles FW has come out with, I don't care much for the troops themselves.

Oh, and the exception to the Space Marines would be Legion of the Damned. I'd be all over those if only they were plastic.

Legion of the Damned Space Marines.

Failing that, a pure Inquisition (i.e no GK or SOB) army.

Death korps of kreig , i choose this simply because they in my opinion look awesome.

~UnDeAd~

QFT

Vostroyans, without hesitation

Mechanicus... they would be like imperial orks, pretty much any bit mash would go if you designed it right. It would also diverge from the other available armies out there because of the variability each and every model could display.

I would also say Genestealer Cult, but I got tired of waiting and started sculpting my own (and commisioned a few more besides lol) so I'm good on that front!
