Here's a few from the top of my head:

Harlequins - Seriously, they are a pain in the butt to get together, could also include alternate hands for kisses
Aspect warriors - Hawks, banshees, dragons, warp spiders could all use the update
Avatar - needs more than one pose IMO
Warlocks - Could be a squad of them, with a choice between sword or spear
Farseer - Include in warlock box? same weapon choices
Zoanthrope - The base is just too flimsy in resin
Hive tyrant - With all weapon options, i mean they even got the carnifex in plastic and it's a similar model

Tyranid units without models - tyrannofex, harpy, tervigon left handed boneswords. Seriously they've been left in the dirt

The Space Marine Vanguard and Sternguard should be plastic.
Aspect Warriors
Libarians
Farseers
Autarchs
Inqusitiors
The Space Marine Honor Guard
Storm troopers

The Space Marine Honor Guard

I agree with everything but these two. There's enough Marine bits out there that anybody can make a cool looking Sternguard or Vanguard squad. Additionally, Honor Guard can be done using Sanguinary Guard parts for more ornate armor. I've always been a Marine player, but I've gotta admit these two are pretty much covered.

I grant you there are figures that need it more, but I'd like to see the Space Marine Captain get redone. He just looks really basic now that so much more detail can be put into plastic models. It would be a great opportunity to make a Space Marine HQ kit (Captain, Chapter Master, Librarian, Chaplain) that would only need a few extra weapons and heads.

Oh yeah, Space Marines should get new armour...

Swooping Hawks. If games workshop can make DE scourges then they have no excuse

I agree with people who have said all that's currently in metal. Sheesh I hate metal models! A pain to glue together and you have to put a shiny or silky coating on top to stop them chipping.

My current contenders for metal -> plastic are:

Harlequins - just because I want them now, but want to wait until the are made into Finecast :( Also I imagine those poses would be fiddly to get right in metal.

Plaguebearers of Nurgle - very good troop choice for a Daemon army, but they are metal! As someone else said, metal troops? Really?

Erm, I haven't actually seen these in person but I have heard that Tau Broadsides are metal. If this is the case, then gluing on those top-heavy railguns must be a nightmare.


Heavy Xenos lean here as I know nothing about Imperium kits. And quite little about most Xenos too heh, I'm new to the hobby.

Wraithguards. Please, please, make them plastic, so they are not a complete hell to paint.

Ethereals
Plaguebearers
Space Marine Chaplain
Space Marine Librarian
Techmarine
Space Marine Veterans...all of them

Broadside Battlesuits are part metal. Only the Railguns and the missile pods are metal.

I would love to see some plastic Tallarn IG. That would make me really happy. Would also like to see all of the greater daemons done in plastic or at least those with wings have their wings made in plastic. Those metal wings are a pain to get to stay attached the first dozen times you try!

It is actually worse than that...they are the basic *plastic* assault suits with big, heavy metal railguns that are supposed to be mounted on top of the suit... Really makes for a well balanced model...NOT!

For Honor Guard you can also use the Command Squad..

Anyways, all IG regiments now in metal should be plastic.

IG stormtroopers. Please.

IG stormtroopers in the SM tactical squad way would be awsome.

Damned Legionaries, I don't like working with Metal and that plastic is much more easy to customize with.

Vostroyans, Steel Legion, and any regiments that aren't bland.

yeah, but only problem with that is.....
Veterans are super heavy and expensive to buy in metal. And then the other problem is their bits are so hard to use already it unbalances models
I want calgars' honor guard in plastic because the helmets are awesome and we only have a few good axes and the major problem is that there are so few vanguard options sometimes.
But overall I want a redo the plastic commander.

Aspect Warriors (a single kit to rule them all should be doable).
Wraithguard.
Thousand Sons.
Robed Terminators for DA.
Hive Tyrant (screw finecast).
Lictor
Hive/Tyrant Guard.

Plaguebearers. Poor Nurgle didn't get a look in with the new plastic sets.

Let them just change Slaaneshi deamons in metal, and nurgle friends into plastic

Plaguebearers and Chaplains.

HIVE TYRANT!!! I don't care that they have this fancy resin I want it in plastic with all its options!!! and wings!!! I don't want to have to buy a Carnifex and a Dragon every time I want to give my Hive Tyrants decent options!!!

Also Raptors, Obliterators, Chaos terminators (done better... even for the time they were quite bad), Hydra, Storm troopers and if there feeling adventurous I wouldn't mind a Heirophant

Yes, because SM don't get enough attention as is with new models every year...

I really like Orgyns, but they're too expensive in metal :( So I'd like to see some plastic models

I have to say mega nobz, and they should seriously sell them in squads of 5! i want mega nobs but i dont wanna waste 20 dollers per figure to make a squad

I'd love some vostroyan IG as either plastic or finecast.

I would so do a Tallarn or Valhallan IG army if I could get models in plastic. Others I'd love include a Chaos Dreadnaught, Eldar Aspect Warriors, Wraithguard, Warlocks and Farseers.

very large IG lean here but commissars need to be sold in milti plastic packs, nobody is gunna use just 1
also all of the metal regiments, as EVERYONE who plays gaurd wants more than cadians and catachans
chaos dread needs to be plastic i know a guy that spent a week trying to make it look good before realiseing its unbalanced in the pose he forced it into, oh and SOB

Special Weapon sprues. A boxed set with 4 meltaguns, 4 plasmaguns, 4 flamers, 4 DE blasters, etc.

Obliterators.

Autocannon dread arms included with Dreads.

Hydras.

Sisters.

Plaguebearers.

Psyker Battle Squads.

I want pastic pathfinders and kroot hounds are quite highly demanded but remain metal. and one pose? dumb.

Catachan Storm Troopers.. all decked out extra bits, assualt weapons lots of Assualt weapons With Platoon , Company HQ'S, Veterans also aloud 4 assualt weapon choices!
could help revitalize the army, include kneeling legs,
I use the weapon crew legs, but options are the key

Steel legion.
Valhalans - redone (great posses)

I have a Metal Cadian Army it is heavy
