I'd be surprised if we didn't see plastic Sisters of Battle honestly, and I was one of the most cynical people about those eight year or so rumours. Of course, it could just be Celestine/her bodyguards and that named Canoness they were referring to with the bin video, but who knows. I don't think anybody expected Genestealer Cults nor Mechanicus and here we are.

Chaos Space Marines will probably see a vanilla update. Almost all of the recent artwork has shown the basic marines in that Dark Vengeance-esq ornated brass look (as well as Girlyman's base), rather than the 'loyalists with weird backpacks' aesthetic.

Imperial Guard/Cadians I think they'll leave alone in the model department for at least another year. With the push for Horus Heresy 2.0 and their lack of appearance in the Gathering Storm books, as well as the total lack of rumours, I think they'll be trading places with the Sisters of Battle. With GW going down the HeroHammer route the Sororitas seem to be viewed more favourably by the design department by virtue of actually wearing power armour. If anything, they'll update and add more stuff to the Storm Trooper codex whilst leaving the Imperial Guard to rot.

Oh, and count on too many (loyalist) Space Marine kits.

I sincerely hope a revamped Chaos Marine infantry set happens. Make a sprue with some extra bling and weapons, toss it in, call it a Chosen set too.

Obviously new Cult Marine kits would be nice too but jeez the basic CSM kit is showing its age.

Given that, unlike the forces the Emperor DID raise, Sisters actually have remained loyal.... that's not a really big mark against them.
