and I got Kujaku Hime up there too. Primed. Stopped there.

Well the model kit I want is a multi-part plastic Skitarii, but if we’re sticking to things that actually exist, then a Reaver Titan would be mine.

I've always wanted a Thunderhawk ever since I saw some kid (literally a kid) with the metal one way back in the day. Now I can afford a forgeworld one, but I'd rather just keep my cash or buy a motorcycle or small boat or send my kid to college. So until I win the lottery or someone just gives me one, that's my dream mini.

**YotsubaSnake**

Just about any and all of the Tau minis in the forgeworld. I would love to have those slick battlesuits and oh dear god where would I keep a Manta?

**hotsauceman1**

My manta would be kept on a bed when i sleep on a floor.

**Jayden63**

There are a lot of forgeworld stuff that I would like to have, but nothing that makes me feel like I have to have it. Especially since the bigger stuff most likely will never leave the project room even when completed.

I'm that way with a lot of things though. Something might be really cool right this instant and even if I don't get it now, 6-8 months down the line, something just as cool will show up that I'll really want. Its pretty much how my Garage Kit collection got going.

What is your "I wish wish wish I had one of those" miniatures?

Mine is the Lucius pattern Warhound with a pair of Turbo lasers. It costs more then either of my armies individually (yay used shopping) and Apocalypse is not a common game around here... but I covet one.

My top two are pure wishlist:

1. Plastic Thunderhawk

2. Plastic Gargant kit

**Brometheus**

Forgeworld Lord of Change special character.

Go with a Lead imperator titan, if you get mad, you can rage dropkick the thing and completely destroy the other persons army/face/table

**MeanGreenStompa**

An entire, massive army of the original plastic Imperial Guard backed up with a selection of Forgeworld tanks.

They are so iconic to me, I love the enormous blast goggles and baggy trousers.

Individual model... I'd love a commission built Blood Axe gargant built by Kr00za from The Waaagh. That man is a grade A genius with ork conversion and plasticard. God only knows what it would cost.

If you dropkicked a lead model the size of a titan, let alone an Imperator (which would be about the size of your average guy, right?) I don't know if the titan or your leg would end up in more pieces.

My dream model is a squadron of Thunderbolt fighters from Forgeworld, but their rules aren't very good and they take up Heavy Support slots, which are kind of at a premium in my artillery-heavy IG.

Imperator is apparently scaled to about the size of a healthy 5 year old child.

**malfred**

Custom Mouse Guard miniatures.

The mouse offerings currently available (Dark Sword and Reaper
and Brushfire don't do it for me the way the comic book designs do)

Alright!

My point about broken bones still stands, however.

Yep. Me too.
I wouldnt really want one of the larger titans. The warhound is perfect

**BlapBlapBlap**

I say bah to your big shiny vehicles!

I love Battlesuits...

**djphranq**

My dream mini arrived today... just wish it came with directions...

**Luco**

So many beautiful minis... I'm not sure if I have a dream mini, something knightly probably. TBH i'm eagerly awaiting new SoB and BT stuff as well as the DA stuff within the next year (I hope)

**Engine of War**

My dream is far from "Mini" lol

I want a 1/35th scale P-1000 to act as my personal titan grade Ultra heavy. the ULTIMATE tank to crush the Xenos and heretics!!

That....

Or one of these, with added Imperial Guard parts. even tracks or something and extra turrets and guns and armor adn things. proble be able to shoot a battle ship out of orbit....

**psychadelicmime**

Tau manta, enough said.

**Micky**

Manta... so totally a Manta.

Mind you, I'd have to give it its own bedroom its so big.

**The Shadow**

One of my favourite models is the Forgeworld Wraithseer which, fortunately, isn't that expensive (by FW standards, anyway), so the chances of me owning one sometime in the future aren't slim.

I do sympathise with all you Titan/Manta covetors though...

**Squidmanlolz**

My dream minis are those that I hope to have produced for my indie game. Sadly, this may take some time...

**Vilegrimm**

The resin version of Reaper's Dark Maiden, Shipwreck Angel.

And I currently have the funds for it....

-Vilegrimm

**DemetriDominov**

If I had the skills, patience, money, and time, I'd have my dream mini which as far as I know exists only in my mind.....

**KalashnikovMarine**

This just made my list...

**Happygrunt**

A Macharius Vanquisher and plastic kits for any of the old metal IG (Mordieans, Vostroyains, Valhallans ETC.)

**fishy bob**

Not a mini, but this Dystopian Wars table.

**Far Seer**

If GW or FW were to release an Imperator Titan...

Well that would be it.
