Arvus, pyro, you want arvusses, which honestly would be a nice add on come to think of it.

I wouldn’t say no to plakky Arvusesses.

If nothing else, I could make use of them for a long gestating bonkers idea for a Rogue Trader flavoured Necromunda campaign, with each serving as “gang” transport.

It could also be affordable enough to just get as terrain/objective.

I also confidently predict it’d be a glorious kit to build! As in despite being plastic, the end result would still feel like a solidly built brick of plastic.

And i highlighted as to who and why there are far better alternatives.

I think your real point is that GW minis are too expensive (especially for mass armies), and that there are good quality alternatives which are cheaper and also easier to build. Which is demonstrably true.

I'm going to change my plastic wishlist. Instead of the Sisters of Silence transport, I want a customisable Centurion kit, with enough bits to represent at least some of the Consul upgrades.

I could get behind that.

Something in the vein of the Empire Wizard kits. Two bodies, lots of arm choices, from which you could assemble representatives from a number of Colleges.

Plus you’d end up with lots of spare arms which, hopefully could be converted onto more standard bodies without too much fuss.

Yes, exactly. While customisability is not longer a thing in WH40k, HH still seems to be designed around allowing us to build our own dudes.

Low hanging fruit for that is the one that lets us field a unit of Battle Automata.

Praevin, I think?

Ursarax
Domitar
Terrax Pattern termite assault Drill
Rapiers with quad launchers

What a better place than have the centurion and melee weapons in the command squad box...... oh wait instead gw went fully aenimic on that front....

Funny, I think the same thing about the Companions for Solar Auxilia?

Maybe, just maybe, they wanted to leave room for later release.

Given the number of resin characters that FW is producing for HH, I think it's unlikely we'll see customisable plastic kits for commanders any time soon.

1. Chainswords
2. Bolt Pistols.
3. MK(I - V) Jump Packs

Breachers
Landspeeders (any type)
Rapiers
Tarantulas
Thunderhawk Gunship

Radical options, some of the legion special units as upgrade packs.

MKII please...(I would go broke if they did this)
MK V
MKII, IV and V assault marines.
Imperial Army grunts
Cultists
Plastic Primarchs (Early Heresy)
Crusade Era Xenos (Laerin, Interex, Mecharachnids, etc, etc.)

GDP

The rest of the Malcador variants.
Fire Raptor / Storm Eagle
The rest of the Mechanicus robots
Gorgon + troops

I forgot to add the aurox. If we got a plastic malcador, please GW, give us an actual transport of the Solar aux that doesn't suck and works for the army..

Actually, for curiosities sake, did the solar use rhinos aswell?

I thought it was the opposite and both Auxilia and Marines used the Aurox then the Rhino was rediscovered later, but only Marines got it. I had plans to do an eeeeearly Crusade army with MkII and Auroxes, but that never ended up happening.

I wouldn't be surprised if there isn't something mentioning Auxilia using Rhinos as a nod to Rogue Trader Imperial Army getting them.

That ‘nod’ is in the Militia list, which includes a provenance that permits them to take both Rhinos and Land Raiders.

And lasrifles, don't forget the lasrifles.

1. Rapier destroyer. Hull sprue with laser destroyer, heavy bolter, quad mortar options. Solar crew sprue with multilasers, Astartes crew sprue with graviton cannon.
2. Terrax termite
3. Xiphon
4. Voss Lightning
5. Macrocarid Explorator

What i want for everyone else...
Arvus Lighter
Storm Eagle Assault Gunship
Mk4 Assault Squad (with jump packs and melee weapons in copious quantity in the box)
Terrax Pattern Assault Drill
Dreadnought Drop Pod

For me..
CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT
PRAETOR ARMOURED ASSAULT LAUNCHER
DOMINUS ARMOURED SIEGE BOMBARD

If they made a plastic Thunderhawk or Fire Raptor I would buy it even at the ridiculous pricetag it would undoubtedly have

We have enough tanks, time for troops. Horus Heresy.

Breachers, Recon, Scouts, Destroyers.

Anything that comes out in LI is going to show up in HH, so we know Rapiers and taurantuals are on their way. It'll be interesting to see if the plasma sicarian shows up with this guns vertical or horizontal.

If we HAD to have a new tank, a plastic Fellblade.

Well, tough, you get new tanks.

I still want more Marines! I want to make destroyers, breachers, and recon squads. I'd like to see them also make a conversion box for your Legion too! something that has multiple Legion specific weapons, shoulders and heads.

If they give me tanks, I want to buy turrets for my Sicarans. I'll buy 3 Sicaran if I have the option to pick up the turrets then it's an easy choice for me to choose which turrets I want to use for my game. I'd like to see another Super Heavy, but I won't hold my breathe. My guess will be the mini fast attack tank. Won't be a bad item but I figure they will make that one next. Hopefully the price is right for it - if it's priced as a predator, it won't be for me.

If it's a sabre, arquitor or legion basilisk (a plastic version of the resin one) that'd be fine by me. Maybe throw in a javelin or fellblade chassis tank.

I think GW really missed the boat on infantry, I've already found the 3d printed parts for my breachers. I'm sure the melee oriented legions have plenty of options as well. I expect if/when GW does offer these options they'll be on the same 5 poses and totally bland.

Hopefully we’ll be back to Heresy Thursday next week.

Bikes, attack bikes, lots of bikes! (also so I know what the new bases will be so I can rebase my old ones)

I'd like to see plastic kits for at least one of each of the Legion's specialty units to give more flavour to the marine armies without having to go broke on FW resin. My choices would be as follows not based on how good there are, but just what I think are the coolest units for the armies. Really any of them would be cool to see:

I: Deathwing Companions.
III: Kakophoni
IV: Tyrant Siege Terminators
V: Kyzeghan Assault Speeder
VI: Deathsowrn Pack
VII: Phalanx Warders
VIII: Night Raptors
IX: Dawnbraker Cohort
X: Medusan Immortals
XII: Rampagers
XIII: Invictarus Suzerains
XIV: Grave Warden Terminators
XV: Khenetai Occult Cabal
XVI: Justarian Terminators
XVII: Ashen Circle
XVIII: Pyroclast Squad
XIX: Dark Furys
XX: Lernean Terminators
