Although there are a lot of multipart plastic kits already available I don't think there are enough for HQ choices.
The reason I prefer these kits is because i generally love converting and hate metal models.
Sure there is the Space Marines Commander but thats all I can say I can remember seeing for a Hq choice for any army in a multi part plactic kit.

what would you like to see in a multipart plastic kit?
I, for one, would love to see a space marine librarian in a MPPK. with all the optional choices.
I love creating my own characters and their history and it's such a hassle with metal models.

If there is a multi-part plastic kit for HQ units, it should encompass all possible HQ units like the ones they did for Fantasy. If there is an armour variation that either both should be released as two kits, or as a single kit that can make two models. However GW tend to make these models even more expensive than if you just kitbashed one from a generic set (say a box of terminators for your Captain, or Dire Avengers for your Autarch) so they might not sell as well to the casual gamer, only to the hardcore converter.

Do they count for HQ though?
Because I bought that kit last year but i wasn't sure if it was hq or not.
It was a gift.

Yeah your right.
but the reason i thought of this is because i want to make a librarian but i just dont have the parts besides terminator armour and a head.
so i need lots of books and a psychic hood.

I guess if they did make this it would be with just one type of armour and you would have to kitbash.

Since we're going on about HQ's I'd have to say Ork Warboss.

Because that "beautiful" AOBR one is becoming waaaaaay too redundant,

Some core models need plastic kits like Grey Knights and Sisters of Battle first and foremost.

Yes, but they were terrible. I think I broke all but one of mine within the first two weeks.

I'd love to see a plastic Wraithguard kit, or a plastic Aspect Warrior kit with interchangeable arms/heads for the different aspects.

Plastic should be reserved for models that require high numbers and customization. The Bloodthirster is due for a new kit but a metal one would be better than a plastic one, unless the metal one can also be made into another GD (I can see the KoS and Bloodthirster combined into one kit).

Warboss and Tyrannofex/Tervigon are both long overdue. The Hive Tyrant though, is good as a metal kit since all the options (sans wings) are present. And any current models that have combinations of metal and plastic parts should be standardized into all-plastic kits. SoBs, PAGKs, and TAGKs are all rumored to ahve a new plastic kit soon so I doubt they count for this list.

Aspect Warriors could use some plastic/metal augmentation. One sprue could be made for each of the heavy/medium armors, and another sprue wit head/arm combinations.

"'players must agree how they are going to select their armies, and if any restrictions apply to the number and type of models they can use."

This is an actual rule in the actual rulebook. Quit whining about how you can imagine someone's army touching you in a bad place and play by the actual rules.

I could see the Dire Avengers and Scorpions put into one kit (they share similar body designs). Everything else, though, will probably need their own exclusive kit as they're pretty varied (Hawks might be able to go into the Avenger/Scorpion kit, but the posing might be a bit off).

Just about every necron elite choice. Or at the very least give us 5 metal models for 30ish dollars like the incubi and mandrakes.

I also really really really hope scourges are plastic.
