Plastic Kans would be nice, as the current ones are a pain to assemble.

I'm pretty sure that they'll bring out an Imperial Artillery kit with most of the options.

Similar for SM.
Thunder cannons are also a pain to assemble.
Tech Marines in plastic would be nice, too.

Of the items mentioned in that wishlist, Plastic Warboss kit sounds the most fun. As much as I like the model, there are too many Black Reach Warbosses or subtle variations there of.

Orks: Warboss kit, Buggies/Wartrakks, Killa Kans, Plastic Dred, Deffkoptas.

I think the Russ and artillery boxes would be logical releases, though I suspect they'd take more than one new sprue added into the box. Looking at the Demolisher box as a model, I think it likely that any remake would likewise cut out the road wheel and track sprues, both for making the assembly more foolproof and reducing the amount of of different sprues used (less sprues equal less weight per unit, less materials used, more compact packaging, etc). I fear the Chimera will not see a similar remake so soon, though, because it hasn't got much in the way of those spiffy variants.

As for the others, I admit that a new Dreadnought wouldn't be totally implausible, given the amount of extra weapons options you could put into the kit (quad-autocannons, plasma cannon, multimelta, twin heavy flamer). The original plastic kit is old and a new one could be made with their more sophisticated tech to fit more variety and options in a smaller space, just like the Sentinel.

A plastic Terminator Captain along the lines of the power armored guy or chaos terminator would be a cool addition to the Marine line.

If a plastic warboss comes out, I'm going to end up painting my eigth warboss.

Hope the new buggies and trakks look good. And it'd be good if those missions were well thought through and balanced and got taken on board by the tournament scene.

Greatcoat Guardsmen swap-kits please.

Awesome news!!!


The new ork and SM models are icing on the cake...

+1 for the idea of a new Razorback kit with all the weapons options included. I might finally upgrade my 2nd edition las/twin-plas beasts if that were true. Otherwise, the old models will continue to serve.

Definately excited about the prospects of more varied missions being back. League play will get much more interesting again.

A plastic Dreadnought kit? Possibly for the venerable ones.
Chaos Dreads need an overhaul, too.

plastic killa kans and deff dredds for orks I hope!

Seeing as this is going to drop around the same time as Blood Angels (same month/month before it), could this be the other half of the story that was rumored? Or is it certain that other half was another full fledged codex?

Glad to hear 40k is getting a missions book - long overdue, IMO. Tho I wonder what the KP / Objective split will be. 10 KP missions would seem to be a bit much, but if 40k is to significantly revise KPs in 6E, maybe that won't be so bad.

Thawk is definitely possible for next year. Heck, I might even get one.

The rest won't make much difference for me.

I thought one of the GW talking heads said no plastic Storm Troopers for at least another year, from GD UK.

I'm also buying into "The other half of the story" bit that has been dropped on Warseer concerning this item.

Scryer was just posting a list of what needs to be done, not what IS being done.

Edit -

From Warseer IG Thread:

"First reports back from Games Day UK indicate that both Phil Kelly and Robin Cruddace apparently said there will be no new Storm Troopers for a while longer (not for another year at least was the gist) but they did not deny that the project was under way."

I'm not saying all those models will come. However Scryer in the Darkness is a very reliable source in my experience. If he's giving that rumour the thumbs up, then it can't be too far from the truth

I agree that the New Dread kit seems a likely bet forthe marines. But I'd be happy if the SMs just got a decent (NON-LoD) Heavy Flamer Marine!

As for da Orks? I'll bet money on a new Buggy/Trak kit.. it's the last of the old vehicles that needs to be seriously replaced.

It would be my number 6.

Good info. Here's hoping for Stormtroopers. And a looted thunderhawk.

I'm very much looking forward to this release

A thunderhawk or two won't be disliked either

Heres hoping for a plastic manticore kit thats non-forgeworld, eh?

*prays to Gork and Mork for plastic killa kans*

They also said that the mystery box wasn't Space Hulk a week before they announced that it was.

Would love plastic Kans for deffo. Plus new warbuggies - don't use 'em, but the current kits were in use when I left the hobby. That was about 10 years ago, IIRC.

Wonder if we'll see shiny new Marine Bikes? They need them like.

I'm going with "everything that we have been told is a lie."

I'm now praying to the Emperor for a Thunderhawk.

Plastic Techmarines would be nice too...

EDIT: Oh. Maybe actual Penal Legion Models? I haven;t heard anything about those.

I was surprised and excited to see this email. Once again, GW sneaks new releases out on their schedule, with nary a confirmed rumour in sight.

There's no reason for "actual" Penal Legion models. They're equipped, armored, and everything the same as a standard Guard squad. Maybe a conversion kit, I could see that. Shackled arms, branded heads, stuff like that.

And why a plastic Techmarine?

Each of the thirty-something scenarios detailed in Battle Missions has been designed to allow you to fight the sort of battles normally the subject of Black Library novels.

As someone who's writing a RIDICULOUS amount of fluff for her army, I'm getting this book the day it comes out. I'd love to run fluff battles with some of my friends (WHY DO THEY HAVE TO LIVE A THOUSAND MILES AWAY) as fodder for my own fluff bible!

Needless to say this is making me a very, very happy kitty. And new Space Marine models? SWEET. I could dig on new Dreadnoughts.

Ah c'mon. The FW Manticore model ain't so ba... ah who am I kidding. They're awful. They look cool, but putting them together is a nightmare.

I'd prefer a plastic Hydra though.

I'd be very surprised if we didn't get some form of combo Hydra/Manticore kit alongside a Medusa/Basilisk combo.

I mean really, the only difference between the Manticore and Hydra is the autocannons in place of the missiles. That'd be easy to alter by having just a slot where either the missiles or autocannon batteries plug in.
