I'm curious, of all the metal GW models out there which ones would you like to see to go from metal to plastic kits?
Personally I would really like to see plastic kits of...
Gray knights and Sisters of Battle.
what about you guys.

It is the 3rd Millennium. For more than a hundred months Games Workshop has sat immobile on the Golden Throne of Nottingham. It is the foremost of wargames by the will of the neckbeards, and master of a million tabletops by the might of their inexhaustible wallets. It is a rotting carcass writhing invisibly with business strategies from the early Industrial Revolution Age. It is the Carrion Lord of the wargaming scene for whom a thousand veteran players are sacrificed every day, so that it may never truly die. Yet even in its deathless state, GW continues its eternal vigilance. Mighty battleforce starter-sets cross the online-store-infested miasma of the internet, the only route between distant countries, their way lit by a draconian retail trade-agreement, the legal manifestation of the GW's will. Vast armies of lawyers give battle in GW's name on uncounted websites. Greatest amongst its soldiers are the Guardians of the IP, the Legal Team, bio-engineered super-donkey-caves. Their comrades in arms are legion: the writing team and countless untested rulebooks, the ever vigilant redshirts, and the writers of White Dwarf, to name only a few. But for all their multitudes, they are barely enough to hold off the ever-present threat from other games, their own incompetence, Based Chinaman - and worse. To support Games Workshop in such times is to spend untold billions. It is to support the cruelest and most dickish company imaginable. These are the tales of those times. Forget the power of sales discounts and Warhammer Fantasy Battle, for so much has been dropped, never to be re-published again. Forget the promise of cheaper digital content and caring about the fanbase, for in the GW HQ there is only profit-seeking, Space Marines and Sigmarines. There is no fun amongst the hobby shops, only an eternity of raging and spending, and the laughter of former employees who left GW to join better companies. |

Celestian / Battle Sister / Retributor box
Seraphim
- Give us these two boxes and we'd be able to build or convert everything (except the Repentia) using just SoB and SM plastic kits.
Grey Knight Terminators
- For me, the Grey Knights will always be the all-psyker Terminator squads.

Looks like Sisters of Battle, Gray Knights, and Gray knight terminators are pretty popular to be converted into plastic sets, Storm troopers/Kasrkin would be an interesting one to see too. It would also make these armies new player or a new army selection frendlyer.
I know I would jump at the chance to make a pure Sisters of Battle Witch Hunter army if they came out with a plastic set for SoB
If they did the box right for a "Sisters of Battle" plastic kit they could actually knock off about 4 different SoB unit types with one box which would be Celestain (elites, SoB veterans so to speak), Battle Sister squad (troop), Dominion Squad (fast attack choice), a Canoness ( HQ, aka SM commander equivalent), and a Retributor squad (heavy support, Devastators so to speak). Although I think It would be best to have the Retributor squad seprate because it needs more heavy weapons than the others just like the devastator squad.
A Seraphim (jump troops) plastic kit would be really sweet too.

True, I forgot about the Dominion squad. Perhaps make it a 10-strong base Sister of Battle squad box, and an upgrade sprue with all the extra special and heavy weapons you need to turn that base box into 5 Dominions and 5 Retributors.

That it would.

i prefer the daemons the wy they are at least the troops. Hq can be Plastic but troops are easy to paint build and just need to be heavy to throw with all their pointy bits.
