I know that this topic has been coverd before,however after an frustration filled afternoon assembling a Deffdread I felt the need to rant a bit,so,what kits /minis do you at Dakka feel need to be done up in plastic
The ones I'd truly love to see are as follows.
1. Deffdreads/Killa kanz (every ork player I have spoken to would snatch theses off the shelf)
2. A plastic Warboss/Big Mek kit (similar to the chaos terminator lord kit)
3. A Daemon prince kit (complette with bits for the 4 powers,desighn it similar to the chaos spawn kit)

Half of the tyranid army, the only things that arent in metal are the troops the warriors and the fex, so that leaves, thropes, lictors, biovores, tyrant guard, tyrants, gargoyles, ravenors, broodlords it is almost impossible to go without buying some form of metal model if you are nids unless you are forgoeing the standard hq and fast attack for the properly equipped warriors and only taking fexes for heavy support.

Thunderhawk

Aspect Warriors

Farseers

Autarchs

Sisters of Battle

Inquisitors

Vostorians (SP)

Most things with lots of Options.

Every Witch Hunter, and Daemon hunter model.

Going with some (small) level of realism...

IG upgrade sprue, with all the specials, at least 1 heavy, some alternate heads, all included in the standard infantry box (DAMNIT! this one still pisses me off!).

Sisters of Battle

Greatcoat Guard (on their way from Wargames factory)

Chaos Dreads

40k Civilians (for cultists, henchmen, Necro, Dark Heresy, etc)

Marines in historic armor

Reaver titan

I forgot Thousand Sons, and it, unfortunately, doesn't seem Forge World will be making them or Noise Marines any time soon.

- Steel Legion
- Seconding Deff Dreads/Killa Kans
- God-specific Chaos Marines aside from Khorne Berzerkers
- Wolf Guard, although this will soon be rectified I hope.

Chaos Dread.
Ork Dread.
Hive Tyrant.
Thunderhawk.

Chaos Raptors.

Greatcoat guard with FW variant head support.

Thunderhawk since Apocalypse came out.

They would be my 2 couices.

HQ sprues for every army, eg warbosses for orks, Autarchs for eldar, necron lords for necrons etc etc

Necrons:

Everything other than c'tan

SM:

NOTHING. Everything is already in plastic apart from veterans and HQ choices.

We need plastic techmarines, those lower arms on the servo pack are annoying >_>
Also maybe a Master of the Forge so there are no more counts as techmarines.

Maybe Servitors as well.

Plastic Nuns with Guns would be at the top of my list followed very closely by embiggened plastic Mega-Nobz.

Even at that though, I can't really complain about Orks and the lack of plastics when there are other armies like Witch Hunters, Necrons and Tyranids which would get far more benefit from plastics, especially for the high model count units.

Generally speaking though, it's usually a good thing for the game when you can move a $8 - $20 per model blister into a $5 - $10 per model box.

I'd give my left stone for plastic SOB.

While plastic mega-nobz would be cool the fact that I am less then thrilled with their current incarnation (really only useful as a bodyguard for HQ due to their need to be babysat) and limited options for use that it would be sort of bittersweet...

I'd also really like to see a sweet plastic lictor kit with a badass evil killy looking lictor instead of the sad "retardagaunt" we have now...

Dark eldar need plastic! Talos, incubi, and HQ options....

I would have to agree with plastic sisters, and with plastic superheavies for acouple of armies out I would hope that other armies will get something too. I offhandedly asked a redshirt fresh from a staff meeting when the plastic Thunderhawk was gonna drop and I thought I was gonna have to give him the heimlich manuever as he choked on his burger.

Sisters and Grey Knights are in first because they have nothing at all!

Then, maybe slightly biased:
- Tyranids Gargoyles (why weren't these mentioned yet? because they suck you say? Wait for the new codex! )
- Tyranid Hive Tyrant (with wing option and stuff)
- HQ box for Eldar with parts for an Autarch and a Farseer
- Fire Prism turrent combined with falcon
- Eldar Rangers

Greets
Schepp himself

I always thouguht techmarines and masters of the forge had the same model; i.e there isn't a specific model for MotF.

I wish there were plastic Tau pathfinders with weapon options. The fact that I have to buy them in 2's and they're metal is the main reason i havn't.

I would like:

Ogryn.
Sisters of Battle-All models.
Grey Knights-all models.
Tanith First and Only squads, actually any of the OOP Imperial Guard regiments.
WarHound Titans.
Penal Legion units.
Enforcer Units so I could make some MP squads.

Death Company

Legion of the damned (are they bringing out plastics?)

ElTanko

I'd like to see the Tyrant (because of options), Gargoyles (because you need lots), Zoanthropes (mainly because the current is just so top heavy), cult marines (why the Khorne love?), GK's, and a Warhound (or at least a Knight).

Tallarn / Steel Legion / Vahallan coat guards with interchangeable heads.

Plastic chaos dred
Proper plastic plague marines

Plastic Mega Armor Nobs
Plastic Killa Kans

plastic special character sprues eg the marine on could have all the special characters for like £30

Grey Knights anything

QFT

- Inquisition forces ( GK and SoB )
- Dreads of all varieties ( Chaos/Orks )
- Remaining Tyranid bugs
- CSM Cult Troops ( Noise/Plague/TS )

Actually, yeah, someone mentioned it but I'll say it again:

Fire Prism.

You've got a top-heavy model with a large chunk of metal that doesn't blaance and makes it lean backwards and to the right (or left... whatever side the big crystal is one)... and then it's on one of GW's wonderfully pathetic tiny flying bases.

That thing needs to be a plastic kit. When they re-do Eldar I hope they do a Fire Prim/Firestorm or Fire Prism/Night Spinner combined kit, all in plastic.

Obliterators. The current metal ones are hell to deal with IMO.
