You guys know what I'm talking about, model wise, campaign wise you know the stuff

I would personally like to see these things;

Ork Mini's; Ork Commisar(ie BA), Flash Gitz, Deff Dreads and new Grotz, (which we've seen anyway ), decent Big Gunz, Decent Big Meks, some new, very cool, Warbosses and stompa upgrade kits.

Imperium; Commisars, Standard Bearers, Some sort of Elysian Drop Tank, Autocannons(because Elysians don't use Lascannons so we won't see any), NEW Drop troop poses, and Admech

Campaign wise I would like see it set on a forge world so we can get some nice FW terrain(no pun intended). And maybe this time have the campaign set in a entire star system not just one planet.

Fire away guys!!!

1--Elysian heads with forage caps in place of helmets, Elysians without the breathing mask apparatus attached to the front of the drop armor. That'd make me quite happy, to have Elysians operating as air cav rather than drop troops.
2--Lotsa Orkses!
3--A better Drop Sentinel kit.

Why whats wrong with the current one it's the first Elysain thing I liked.(still haven't picked one up though So that's why I'm asking.)

Something where the Imperial Guard WIN.
Seriously.
Its about time. I know they're the punching bag of 40k, but come on, give them a victory already.

Lol Lets hope they win Siege of Vraks

It's nice, but it's geared towards fighting Tyranids(heavy bolters for swarms, Multi-Melta for fighting heavier beasties).

I'd love to see one equipped with Autocannons or a rotary grenade launcher/rocket launcher for dealing with Ork Speed Freaks.

Some decent Ork dakka-wagons would be nice!
Lootas with looted gunz, all different and "non-ork, wif extra gubbins bolted on"

Ah i see I thought it came with all the variants. You've just made me want a GL variat though

Clan Orks :(

Eldars!

..not imperial guard?

No, not Guard, Eldar.

More Vyper / Falcon / Cobra variants would be awesome.

No I meant I dont want to see imperial guard for once.. Or if they do guard ATLEAST produce something useful model wise (I dont consider 50$ for 10 variant models useful as they add nothing new)..

I mean the IG model range is pretty useless now since what 80% of it were baneblades? Need some more interesting tanks.. something

Simply adding more regiments that 2 people buy seems like a waste of energy

Because they can really make a ton of Space Marine variants, amirite?

Also--there's a reason they don't go and make a ton of new tanks, exclusively for their IA books(...especially if the main Imperial Forces are the Elysian *Drop* Troops, who don't make use of tanks)--it's a niche market, and it's better to make infantry models.

thats THREE people who buy Variant Guard, Krieg need three more books! MY DEATH FOR THE EMPRAH!

I would love new tanks that arnt super-heavies........or flyers........

.....for the Eldar......

Daemon and Witch Hunters could use a little love.

I'd love to see Kans and Dreads that aren't utter crap, and possibly above all else, a new buggy/trakk kit or three. Speedy buggies, looted buggies, heavy armored buggies, anything to replace those 10+ year old kits.

How do people still not get this?

The models that they plan on releasing in conjunction with the Imperial Armour books are always something that actually crops up during the campaign, or they find a way to make something that's missing from the codex proper(winged warriors/hive tyrants/rippers, for example) for it.

You won't see Eldar vehicles until the Eldar Codex gets updated, or unless the Eldar are somehow involved with the Ork/Elysian arc(which I could see happening).

FW will never do a Xenos vs Xenos book anyways guys (no matter how cool that would be). They've already said in one of IA books, 4 I think, that they will never do it from an unhuman perspective because the writers themselves don't think they could do such a book justice.

Plus it's called IMPERIAL Armour...

I'd like to see Klan-specific Orky variants, like Blood Axes & Snakebites (w/Boarboys)

They've already said they'll be doing a bit with the Klans, since it's an Ork held world.

I dunno what Klans exactly they're going for.

Amphibious or naval stuff would be good, for both.

I like to see eldar

I like those drop sents way more than the gw ones. They look more..."stalker-ish" That I like about walkers, more character in these

FW Deathstrike missile

Eldar

I want to see lots of cool Ork vehicles. I want to see new rules and full weapon sets for the Vulture, and expanded Elysians. Then I want to see the Eldar show up at the end, giving us a big fight for the conclusion in IA9.

And, most of all, I don't want this conflict to stretch to IA10. Three years is too long for these sorts of books.

And no deus-ex-machina nonsense like the anti-titan Tigershark that came out of fething no where in IA3 and then was never seen again.

I want to see the Guard win this one.

Knights.. or if they insist on more Chaos, Slaneesh and Tzeench please?

Next book is Elysians and Orks - no Chaos in sight, unless Tzeentch is running the show behind the scenes.
