My question to you is what model would you like to turn from metal to plastic and why? Personally I hate gluing metal models. There just a pain and there so expensive. I would love a squad of ogrins but there $20 each!

for ogryns, it's really not hard to turn fantasy OK ogres into them.

Ork boyz hands fit them perfectly as well.

I would like to see plastic warp spiders. I'm kinda sick of the same 3 poses and no exarch options apart from the one that he's come with for the last 18 or so years.

I'm OVER 50 (and so far over everyone's BS, too).

What do you do to convert them? How do you model a ripper gun?

I'd like to see some plastic Pathfinders. I don't really like the poses available among the metal models, I'd like a bit more customization.

Shield drones, too. Those metal antenna are a PAIN to attach to the plastic drone body.

+1, particularly for Steel Legion. I'd also like to see plastic Tallarns.

So other than IG, I'd really love to see a plastic Hive Tyrant, actually. I'd also like to see some plastic Grey Knights and Sisters.

I'm still holding out for plastic Sisters of Battle.

Lacking that, a female human/Imperial Guardswoman sprue would be great.

Now that I think of it I'd also like plastic Horrors, Flamers, and Screamers of Tzeentch.

Although I'm glad we're getting a plastic Daemon Prince.
