Pre-heresy Marine Legions had Baneblades. They were called Fellblades.

I just don't think Titan Scale will be anything other then forgeworld.... Ok, you can Argue "Stompas a Titan" till your blue, but really its Mobile Scrap.....

I'm liking the Fighters...

Tyranids.... Maybe, anyone know if the Trygon sells? I suspect not in loads.

Tau just aint due any new loving any point soon I fear, DE, not going to happen, Eldar, Need a load of plastic troops before they get anything "Meaty"

IG already getting lots of fun Tread Head stuff anyway, so lets discount them for now.... Orks also recently had loads..... Marines would be my next best bet, but your right that nothing leaps to mind from their fluff at the Baneblade scale.....

Oddly enough..... Necrons would be my next thought, but what.... I've no idea, Pylon is doubtfull.... howabout something new and interesting we don't yet know about?

No kidding. The Tyranids could use some love. We haven't had a new model of ANYTHING in a couple years.

Bring back the EXOCRINE!!!!!

Brimstone has always been the last word on rumors, so as much as a plastic Trygon would be surprising... I'd be much less surprised to see it now.

The Warhound does seem like a good cross-army model to make, but it's so much larger than the baneblade and stompa kits, I can't imagine they'd be able to keep it in the same price range (unless they did away with all that amazing interior detail and whatnot... even then, I feel like it would dwarf those other kits). They'd almost have to make it a minimum $150 price-point... which many would balk at... and many others would dance out of the store with. Still a tough call...

The Thunderbolt could be a pretty smart move, though. It would open the door to adding more fliers to the game (Apocalypse and Planetfall or whatever else is in the pipeline) at the same time as being a good cross-army/conversion-basis model.

... guessing GW's next big move/model is always fun.

Trigon is a bit odd, but then again GW was never run by logic.

I'd like to see a Thunderbolt kit because it is the mainstream fighter and for the Orks a Fighta / Fighta-bommer kit combi kit.

I'm going to take a leap of faith and say that the entirety of the new dark eldar range will be plastic. No metal models unless a few limited special characters sneak in.

Not a bad assumption I guess. GW is going to redo the entire range so they might as well do it right straight from the start.

It was really fun reading the designers notes about the stompa. When he said he had been secretly working on it for 2.5 years that really made me laugh. We have had rumors of a plastic stompa for almost as long, if not longer. No one thought it was real, then Bam! Well, planetstrike is coming, and we've had rumors of a plastic thunderhawk for ages, it is quite possible that one has been slowly being worked on like the stompa was. It would be the perfect release to coincide with an 'attacker/defender' expansion. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see a 95 dollar thunderhawk this summer.

But then brimstone comes on and says trygon. That means, we are getting a trygon, or he's just having some fun wishlisting.

I'm painting a shadowsword/stormsword/banesword this weekend, (yes you can build just one rear superstructure and be able to make it into all three with no magnets, woo hoo!) and I'll need another one to make the banehammer/doomhammer, and of course I'll need a third to make a stormlord.... and i never did get around to making a hellhammer...

so I guess for me I'm not so worried about whats around the corner as i still have $300 to spend on the current apoc stuff

You know what I want the next big plastic model to be?

Anything except something for Space Marines, Orks, or IG. That would be a nice change.

The exception would be a Grey Knight Titan. That would be awesome-sauce.

Well, Planet Strike is supposed to come out this summer and I doubt that GW would bring out a new rulebook without backing it up with a new plastic kit.

A Thunderhawk would be pretty awesome but I really don't need another superheavy for Orks and I can't see it work in my Death Guard army...

Thunderhawk is for the Orks?

BrookM wrote:Thunderhawk is for the Orks?

Everything is for Orks if you've got enough plasticard and bits.

BrookM wrote:Thunderhawk is for the Orks?

It flies. There's a giant laser on top. And it can transport infantry and has an assault ramp. Give me one good reason why Orks shouldn't get to use a Thunderhawk.

A Landa might be better!

Yeah tyranids are very neglected. It must have been nearly three years since they saw anything new. *cough*Deathleaper*cough*

Poor things.

I want to see a plastic Knight.

You have a new item for Apocalypse and it doesn't have to be as big/bulky as a warhound.

Death Leaper is just a Lictor, not exactly anything new. Just a new sculpt of an old model.

So many people think Warhound merely because that is what they want. I don't know how many parts are in the baneblade kit (GW not FW), but the Warhound has 150 pieces. The detail lost in converting this into a plastic kit with only 50 pieces would be horrible.

The Thunderhawk is mostly flat pieces and would convert very well. I may be partial since I've already got the titan but want a new Marine transport. I would much rather see something for one of the other armies though. IG got their tank, Orks got the stompa. The Necron lineup is abysmal, I would love to see a heavy for them.

Again, poor things. I must be nice to get a new sculpt of an old model. I am sure armies such as....darkeldar, blood angels, sisters of battle, deamonhunters, would love to be just as neglected as tyranids.

Really, I am all tears for the neglected tyranids.

Trygon will be interesting.

I wonder who else will be able to make use of it - maybe a Zombie Trygon for the Necrons since everyone is complaining about them being neglected.

Seems like super heavies are the 40k version of the wfb giant: Any army can take one of whatever. Buy One!

I'd love to see either a Warhound or Thunderhawk in plastic!

Since someone brought up Planetstrike; do we have any solid info on this suplement that is slated for July? I find it odd that we have no solid rumors on this one 4 months out.

The plastic baneblade kit has a LOT of pieces. The main turret alone is over 20 pieces, with another 10 or so small detail or optional pieces (handles, stubber, cannon options.) There is little or no loss of detail compared to the FW one, at least on a casual inspection. I was looking at a FW Baneblade in a dispaly case last week, and compared to the plastic one I have sitting on my desk and the detail levels are similar. If they did a plastic Warhound, I don't think they could do the torso interior detail, though they might be able to do the cockpit with the three crewmen. And the legs probably couldn't be assembled in as many poses as the FW one, but I think a plastic Warhound is very doable, and would suffer little detail loss on the exterior.

I guess that makes sense, I guess the possibility options would be limited, like the new box set dread compared to the metal dread.

50 pieces? A titan would be more like 500 pieces.

So it would have 4 times the FW one?!

Getting one new Lictor sculpt is like DE getting a new Grotesque or Daemonhunters getting a new Deathcult assassin. An alternative model for an Elites choice nobody wants to take anyway.

And....?

My point is that the various tyranid models have been updated twice (yes, twice) since since the beginning of 3rd ed. Complaining that all we got is a third update of a lictor is not going to get much sympathy, except from tyranid players who don't really care about anyone else's dollies getting updated.

I would like to see some nice, new, humongously frightening tyranid gribblies too, make no mistake. I do not have a hate-on for tyranids by any means. But I do think there should be some form of fairness in how models are released. Not just what my armies can field as I appreciate seeing my opponents fielding new sweetness along with mine.

Since this is a wishlist thread, I still maintain new terrain would be to everyone's benefit. It is neutral ground that doesn't step on anyone's toes as far as model updates and everyone loves to play on nice tables that do not have a high degree of redundancy of design on them when considering GW terrain.

Those 'moonscape' craters were a nice addition as were the orkish barricades.
