Also, some Tau super heavies. Titan equivalents that aren't obviously Gundam-based, and a "Super Hammerhead."
A model set for rough riders would be a boon imo. We don't even have a model set for rough riders atm. Also rules for bike version would also be really good. Make them cadian biker teams ;P
If your going to make Tau titans it's pretty hard NOT to make them gundam-based... check the XV9 and you see what i mean.. the guy building the FW tau stuff seriously loves anime. Also, i approve of the super hammerhead idea.. baneblades can't have ALL the fun ;p

To be honest though MGS, they are the main sellers mate
Khornate daemons and nurgle CSM's are the main chaos played.
So it does make sense for them to get the most upgrades.
However, it might help if they drop in some new items from time to time

So. Gonna do some replies here...
1) XV-9. The weapon sets are "on the way". That, while being the normally vague Forge World answer...means they'll be out within the next quarter. If I had to ballpark it, I'd say February or March.
2) Tau "Titans"/Super Heavies. Don't need 'em. Background wise, the Tau adapt their fliers to counter Titans and critters in the Titan weight-class. Look in the Apocalypse book with the Tau/Tyranid battle and see what I mean. Read the Taros campaign book also, for the Deus Ex Machina that was the railgun Tiger Shark. If FW does more superheavies, they'll likely be variants on the Tiger Shark or Barracuda mounting more weaponry, or potentially something way out there like an Orca converted into a Tau AC-130(which would quite frankly be...sweet.)
3)Rough Riders. I don't see them making a model set, just so people can claim the Guard range is complete. Especially given that there are already *two* variant Rough Rider types available from Forge World, and the actual(though outdated) Rough Rider models from Games Workshop.
4) Tyranids. It's still too soon to know what can/can't be made from the Trygon/Carnifex kits. GW up front has said that bitz from a Carnifex and Trygon kit can net you a Tervigon, so who knows in that regard.
5) Chaos. Yeah. There's some room for more cool stuff there. Definitely. Would love to see some Slaanesh and Tzeentch Terminator kits. Whole reason Nurgle and Khorne get all the attention is they just starred in the 3 volume 'Siege of Vraks'. No complaining on that regards from me.
All in all, they're getting to be far better about tying their releases in with GW. Look how close to the Ork codex's release most of the FW stuff hit. The only issue I have with 'em is that they're not even trying to start doing 'bundle' deals for the Guard infantry sets they sell.
Can you imagine how much they'd make if they started selling Elysian or Krieg army sets with a 10% discount built in? Even just selling the infantry alone, they'd probably make a killing.

Kasrkin stormtroopers are some of my favorate imperial guard units. Loved them on the tabletop, loved them in warhammer 40K dawn of war. That kasrkin sargent with the power sword is imho a brillant model, nice and clean with a strong action pose.
What frustrates me however with the metal kit currently out is the full sqaud box comes with forced weapon choices that people don't want. Personaly i would just spam hot-shot lasguns and ap3 my way to victory!

I'm undecided - on the one hand FW is best at pushing the frontier for new, whacky units, so I'm tempted to say fliers and titans...
On the other hand the most useful would be models you can actually use in a regular game, so I wanna say upgrade kits for IG, Tyranids, Orks... all the armies! I would love more kits like the Cadian veteran upgrade sprue. When you have a lot of infantry you want them to stand out.
All in all, an upgrade kit for Orkz with new, superdetailed heads, weapons and best off all: 'Ard boyz armour!

Awesome Autarch

I would love to see the C'Tan done as well as the greater daemons. A huge Deciever and Nightbringer would be ace!
Other than that, as much as possible. I love Forgeworld and buy lots of their stuff. An Eldar Phantom Titan would be cool too.
Also, the Primarchs would be killer and I bet they would sell really well.

They're "not allowed" to do Imperial Armour: Horus Heresy, or at least weren't last time the question was brought up at a Games Day. They never go into the specifics.

Those would be pretty cool but since I doubt that they will be ever made, some generic Road Warrior types would be awesome.

They pretty much are guaranteed to never be made, since they're such a specialist request. The only way I can see a Genestealer Cult come back is if FW does them as part of a campaign.
As for "generic Road Warrior types", what are you trying to advocate there? Do you mean post-apocalyptic ragamuffins? If so--again, doubtful with being a specialist request.

1: Space Marine Artificer Armour - Spangly high detail armour for making Captains and Chapter Masters.
2: Armour through the ages, a cheaty way to do heresy SM by doing a set containing a set of legs, torso etc from each period not currently covered. Could do variant terminator armour as well.
3: Grey Knight TH and SS would be awesome, but I wouldn't be suprised if GW did them when they redo the codex.
4: Grey Knight Grand Master - see above.
5: More stuff that can be fitted into "normal" games.
Can we get this as a poll and then email FW with the result? Perhaps have a monthly poll?

Conversion kits to make non-military or engineering support units. Imperial citizens, Space Marine vassals, Chaos/ork/DE slaves, Tau Earth caste, Eldar Guardian Engineers, 'Nid builder bugs, etc.
I can accept that in the dark future of the 41st millenium there is only war, but it seems odd that there is never anyone to be seen who isn't a soldier. Particularly now that we have campaign books for seiges and city battles, it would be cool to have some non-infantry models on the board. They could be objectives or they could help repair defenses or something. Or people could just use the bits to customize their regular infantry guys and make them more personalized.
