Also maybe because of Marks post and people may not want to support his designs.

I think that is the most likely answer.

I wish the guy who did the video review of the Lizardmen had actually built some and shown them next to other miniatures. I'm a bit disappointed that they went so heavy on the sci-fi side for the Lizardmen with three different types of guns rather than giving us at least one more type of melee weapon. Did the sprue really need muskets AND fantasy flintlocks AND Aks?

I will say the detail look really good.

Well, ya know, there's another 5 sprues of lizardmen infantry in production between North Star, Mantic and GW and this is the only one with guns, best build on that strength

Triply amusing because Mantic's can be given flintlocks in the game but there's no model for it.

I'm ultra not-a-fan of the heads that look like retirement home lizards who've lost their dentures so it's all chameleons and gas masks for me.

What about making an overbite (or underbite) with greenstuff?

You could even just put some green stuff in the mouth and do a few vertical lines for decent teeth at that scale.

Goblin box cover

Lizardmen are sold out at Miniature Market already. Good sign!

I'm debating whether these lizardmen would work as cheap ork boyz...

i kinda really like the gobbos, some somewhat armored gobbos would be pretty enticing.

Interesting... the universe is a big place and anything is possible. It would be fun coming up with fluff for them. Converting the rest of the army for a cohesive look would be a great challenge.

They also have potential as Kroot and/or Chaos Cultists.

And imperial guard. The emperor protects. Even if you are a scaley.

Vote!

Voted! As expected sooo many obscure historical kits or things that already exist in plastic.

as you say a fair few are out there already (although some are not great and an alternative would be good), and some I know i'd never want

but still plenty I would buy

Space Samurai’s!!!!!!!!!

Certainly quite the list...

Something as vague as "Sci-Fi Wood Elfs" may or may not be very interesting depending on how they end up looking. Even some historical sets are a bit unclear (Varangian Guard? Most likely for Dark Age gaming, so perhaps around Harald Hardrada's stay in the 1030s, but also possibly for the Fourth Crusade, which would be a rather different kit).

Vote again go go go

My hope is the historicals spread their votes too much and something totally ridiculous that was everybody's fifth choice wins.

There is a distinct lack of Polish Winged Hussars and Werewolves in plastic that are worth a feth. Those get my vote.

If so, the contest is already settled:

Bio-mechanical Masked Polynesian War Priests/Explorers

There's some ridiculous stuff on the list. While it's fun to request some nonsense, I hope people vote for stuff they would actually buy. Not stuff they would like to just exist as a joke.
Else we will end up with a box of Boxy McBoxfaces...

Personally, I really like civilians for ancients, medieval, and fantasy settings. But that could just be my own very particular interest. But it does guide my voting!

Yes please Hobgoblin roman legionaries.

I pretty much click every non-historical thing

I voted for things I believed would either cater to my interests or otherwise fill an unoccupied niche in plastic models. Makers of dioramas or players of various RPGs might appreciate big boxes of various kinds of civilians, for example.

Have you tried Fireforge's folk rabble?

Deathfield swiss guard

I can't even begin to imagine.

I did klick some historicals though WW1 Austro-Hungarians sound cool and have nice caps.

Weren’t there two versions of the Death Fields Swiss Guard?

I voted for more Sci fi than historical, but only for things I would buy.

I voted for a lot of things.

Three actually if i counted right

Sadly my proposal for a plastic werewolves did not make it to this list so I voted for a mix of s-f and fantasy:
Space Bugs
Death Fields Myrmidons
Kobolds
Death Fields Space Samurais
Evil Dwarves
Sci-Fi Wood Elfs
Arthurian Infantry
4 armed aliens, with pistols, rifles and swords. rds
Multiple Species Aliens Set
Cadavalry (Undead Cavalry)
Tribal Frogmen
