I'm curious, what models or bitz do you wish were made, but aren't? We all know there are holes in the model line. Models or bits that aren't made or aren't made well. Things that you have to make yourself or do without. It doesn't have to be anything big, necessarily, but it does need to be something you'd really use.

Let's hear your wish list.

Man, that's the joy of Anime! To revel in the complete and utter wastefullness of making an unstoppable nuclear-powered combat andriod in the shape of a cute little girl, who has the ability to fall in love and wears an enormous bow in her hair.

The thing that I would love the most would be if they could actually put all of the options possible in the boxes they go in. So for example a space marines tactical squad would have enough bitz to create every option they can take. (so like one missile launcher, heavy bolter, lascannon, etc, though the less commonly used sergeant stuff needn't be put in. Seeing as a lot of it comes from the armoury.)

Army specific weapons/gear option sprues. It would be such a great thing to be able to buy a sprue that had three each of flamers, plasmaguns, and meltaguns with one each of the combi equivilents. Or a sprue that had several fancy spears, great weapons, hand weapons, bows/guns, and banners.

Basically just a pure bits sprue that didn't skimp on the bits.

Anyway...

ALL THE GUNZ SPRUE!
10 Las guns and 2 each of flamer, GL, plasma and melta.
I've been making IG out of everything BUT IG figures for years and use 1/35 scale dragon guns since GW does not have a method for me to get enough guns otherwise. And I've begged, borrowed and stolen special weapons from everywhere. Just put them on a dang sprue!
Plastic evicerators, shotguns, pistols and the like would also be useful.
Some backpacks, pouches and the like would be welcome too.

IMPERIAL CITIZENS
I've started more than my share of wishlist threads and Imperial Rabble is always up near the top of everyone's list. Base them on some of the robed figures Goodwin designed way back when throw in enough boards with nails through them, las pistols and broken bottles to make a convincing mob.

MORE HEADS, ARMS AND LEGS
We need a marine standing up straight. We need more hands doing stuff besides pointing weapons.
Heads doing more than screaming.
Basically what FW did but more of it and in plastic.

BIONIC SPRUE
Suitable for making Iron Warriors, Iron Hands, servitors, characters etc.

ALL ARMS SHOULD HAVE HANDS
I hate, HATE, H8, arms like the kroot and the Cadians where one arm ends in a stump and the hand is on the gun. NO. Arms should be like the marines and catachans with one hand cupping the gun so you can put something else in there.
Grrr...

PLASTIC WINGS
Wings are heavy, wings are awkward to attach.
If GW, Warlord, Wargames Factory, the Perry's, someone were to make a sprue of feather and leathery wings I would buy bunches of them tomorrow.

PLASTIC DOORS, WINDOWS AND SUCH
Walls are easy to do out of plasticard, foamcore or whatever, there's no need to try and make a whole building out of a kit. So just the details would be fantastic.

I wish bases were sold in packs of a single type, instead of being different sizes all mixed together.

He's got a mind like a steel trap. By which I mean it can only hold one idea at a time;
it latches on to the first idea to come along, good or bad; and it takes strenuous effort with a crowbar to make it let go.

I would LOVE to see some of KK's suggested Bionics/servitor parts, as well as some mechanicus/robed bodies.
I'll also add my vote to the Imperial Citizens. They'd be great for objectives, guardsmen, worker rabble, chaos bases... the whole 9 yards.

OT: fellblade go to the GW website and do a search for bases and your wish will come true:

More parts to fully customize your CSM army to your legion. Ive had to buy warsmiths to get the servo arm for my character, and now it doesnt even count anymore.
Some custom shoulder pads would be nice, and I'd rather not pay the exorbitant fee for GWOS.

Ah, I wonder when the 'eavy metal team or forgeworld will get off their arses and fix that rather than making us blow money on greenstuff and sculpting tools.

People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone's circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It's not chance or fate. It's the choice you made.

PLASTIC DOORS,

But what would you do for a bass?

Sorry.

I can't argue for plastic Sisters set up in the marine vein enough.

I also have decided that the best thing for everyone would be cheaper basic squad sets (say, 5-10 marines or whatever) with add on boxes for specific sorts of weapons, upgrades, etc. While it is nice to get a plastic box with 5 marines and 15 weapons and gubbins on each sprue, when I am only really using 2 of those extras, I feel as though I am paying too much. I don't need or want an auspex for every 5 marines, but I would love a few more plasma guns or rocket launchers, etc.

After those two, female guardsmen. Sort of a distant third, but it would be nice. But only if I could buy whatever weapons I wanted for them on purpose, not buying a pile of grenade launchers just because they are in the box.

I personally would like to see:

2. A mordhiem ruined buildings pack. In plastic.

3. Plastic leaders for EVERY race. 40k and fantasy.

Plastic Cadians.

In all seriousness, I'd love to see a plastic IG command squad. I'd even settle for them repackaging the Baneblade commander with a few Cadians, a flag and a med-pack.

You can get 5 csm but its $25. For $10 more you get 10 csm and all the extras. Rip off.

I seriously want a plastic sprue of something that's a completely bare torso. Marauders only work if you do some serious conversion work on them (The leather straps and such are annoying). It would make my life so much easier, especially for my Emperor's Children.

Plastic Sisters of Battle would make my day.

How about a sprue with different heads for different genestealer mutations?
