If they do plastic Sisters, please, give us a full set of Sabbat helms.

Also, have the exposed heads with their hair in those nun's covers so just that the face is exposed.

And a screaming female baldie for each unit, please!

Thanks!


And in addition to all that, give us a decent hairstyle.


Like the one in your Avatar? And please DD, don't even mention screaming baldies...

What if GW heard you and did it?

First off, you're a little late on that request.
Second, shaved females are great.
Third, as Fafnir noted, GW already did.
So your point is?

I cant belive that none of the Nid players have said it...HIVE TYRANT!, i just got my 1st and picked up the box...why is this so heavy?
I open it expecting it to be like the fex nice and light plastic, NOPE!.

What we get is a 8 piece metal set that:
1) does not go together well no matter how much you try.
2) is heavy enough once it is to bludgen a seal. (not just the cute baby kind either)
3) Somehting so fragial that even looking at it in the wrong way will make it fall apart and laugh at and your febal will to build it.

(but yes, i have gotten mne together now)

You know, if you move some parts around, I think you can make a plastic Hive Tyrant from a Carnifex...

When it comes to nids, you can pretty much anything out of anything, if you try hard enough.

I'd be okay with plastic Gargoyles and Zoanthropes. THe Gargoyles because the current versions suck, and Zoey's for the ability to NOT be top heavy as hell.

need some plastic meganobz :K
got close to 50 metal ones now (small project) and they weigh a bloody ton!
mixed with the kanz and dreadz makes it even worse lol, that and i hate moulding lines and super glue, metal is just annoying to work with, and means alot more work when needing to cut and re-pose something.

IMO, the ven dread looks poor, they could have done alot more with it
with a plastic kit they might be able to improve alot on looks too

Get lots(and I mean lots), and have them all grouped together. Say that the huge mass of tyranids all together causes the psyionic energy emitted by the hive mind within them to resonate, causing them to act as a Hive Tyrant.

A few 100 on a base forming a gestault mind?

EDIT - Fafnir beat me to it.

WRAITHGUARD!

Then everything else Eldar

The plastic WL kit is so ace, it'd be much better to buy a box of 5 (or 10 with incuded seer) WG and get them on the battlefield for less than a day's wages.

Older armies like mine tend to suffer from the huge amount of metal present.
I'd love to see some plastic Pathfinders / Rangers too. Painted 5 today and want to field more, but I hate having obvious multiples.

I'm glad to see a pro-plastic discussion for once.
I've been out of the GW hobby for a long while and when I visit the Privateer Press forums (Warmachine being my other flavor of crack) there is always a "why plastics are going to kill the hobby" type of thread. I'm sick of reading how people that think that non-metal minis are the first sign of the apocalypse.

This is a nice change of pace.

I'm voting for metal tyranids to get the plastic treatment.
Brood Lord and lictors need it along with previously mentioned Zoanthropes.

My priorities:
1. New IG regiment (any will do!!)
2. Pathfinders
3. Stormvermin
4. SOB
5. IG Special Weapons (Include Heavy Flamers, Demo charges and sniper rifles in this)
6. Orc Boar Boyz
7. Warpfire thrower / Ratling gun box set (similar poses - well within the realm of possibilities)
8. Black Guard
9. Kroot Hounds
