I have that model. It's not very manly. She actually looks underaged.

**Mr Morden**

Agreed - they also had at least one female trooper in the orginal Imperial Amry boxed set and two in the Last Chancers (I have them all

)

I guess GW could lessen the cost of Cadians to $21 and make everything else upgrade packs to encourage people to buy Cadians for everything.

I agree... as I've said before...

I think I brought this up before but GW does it all wrong. They want to sqeeze as much money out of you as possible and they do it the wrong way.

A box of 10 Space Marines should came with 10 Space marines with bolters. No extra bits. The price of the box should drop to $25.

Then there should be a box of Assault arms, Jumppacks and running legs for about $20. Then a box of Heavy weapons. 2 of each weapon, the arms to hold them and the backpacks.

Now you might say that it would still cost you $40 for 4 autocannons... but you also would have 4 heavy bolters, 4 missile lauinchers ect.

This can be done with alomst every army except Tau and Daemons. Even more so if a few armies were redesigned.

My friends counter argument was that GW would turn a profit from the idea.

To which I said how so? He said that going with my idea wouldn't earn as much cash. Space Marines($25) + Assault Upgrades($20) = $45. Not the same as GWs $50+ for 10 assault marines.

I then explained "Yeah but in my..."dreamscape" there wouldn't be any assault weapons or power weapons in either kit. You'd have to buy both seperately. See?"

After a while I got him to see it my way. Not agreeing with everything but seeing what I was going for. He was curious how I'd make GW even more profits.

"Easy," I exclaimed "People always buy stupid crap. Especially GW fans. I'd sell a bad ass commander model. Then the same model with "one wound" then another with "two wounds" ect..."

In the long run none of this really applies to me anymore. I dont buy GW. I stopped after the last price hike. I own my army. My friends have theirs. We switched to collecting Warmahordes for the time being.

Exalted, i have read this before and I totally agree with it.

Elysians, mostly because they're the only force that's got its own variant list but still requires Forge World models to play properly. It'd require getting Talos, Sky Talon, Vendetta, Vulture, and maybe even Lightning/Thunderbolt plastics too, though, so it's not likely to happen.

Wha-?

I actually disagree with doing any of the FW IG in plastic. I have DKoK and you couldn't do those models in plastic without giving up detail, and I'd never want to sacrifice quality for a slight price reduction.

Agreed, tho I got to handle a few metal models and I gotta say I love the weight, go figure.

In a Krieg army, nobody knows your sex, or the color of your skin

**Ribon Fox**

How about doing all of the Necromunda kits in plastic, I'd love to get some more Esher to fill up my ranks from the world of Stonewall

Pretty much what it says in the title. If you were able to make any box of somewhat standard guardsmen from a regiment raised from a planet (like the current Cadian and Catatchan boxes) would you like to see? Mordians? Steel Legion? Vostoyans? One of the other secondary regiments?

Cadian and Catachan plastics looks good to me, a well-planned and executed conversions make them looks better.

3rd Plastic IGs i'd want GW to release
1. Valhallans (equal numbers of cap heads, ushanka heads, and M41 (?) helmet heads)
2. Mordians with pith helmet heads packed in
3. Steel legions

'Plastic Vostroyans' can actually be made of several WHFB bits and I've seen at least one man doing Vostroyans using various GW plastic bits, I don't think GW will make it plastics.

**Ravanar**

Pretorians for myself.

Damn the camoflage! OPEN FIRE!

**Sir Bushwookie**

Praetorians for me and maybe with the commander holding a lovely cuppa.

**Valhalla130**

Valhallans, of course, although I think Mordians with Praetorian heads would be awesome also.

Come to think of it, they could probably do Great Coat models, with either Valhallan or Steel Legion or DKoK heads. And maybe a few accessories to change them.

Ogyrns, for crying out loud!

Def this ^^ And I'd like to see the Catachans updated for that matter...I like them as big beefy bruisers, but the current plastics are really too much. And if not them, I would like to see an Armageddon redux in plastic. With more options...needs more options as far as building goes....

Actually my bad...the first thing I'd want to see are Storm Troopers back in plastics. BRING BACK THE BERETS

**d3m01iti0n**

Steel Legion for my BT allies. Ill get there one day. Too much on my plate GW!

**Genosaurer**

For regiments that need to be updated, Mordians would be my first choice. I'd love to see some new plastic Mordian Iron Guard kits.

Harakoni Warhawks would be a nice addition, but maybe they'd be kind of redundant given how much their fluff niche overlaps with Forgeworld's Elysians.

**TheCaptain**

Uh, am I the only one that wants Merican Lancers to have an official kit by GW?

America.

Yes.

**MrMoustaffa**

I want the older style of Cadians back, done in plastic. They look absolutely badass compared to the new plastic ones.

But that's just me.

I'd settle for a resculpt of the Catachans though, in line with their command box. The company command box catachans look excellent, and I wish all catachans looked that way.

**Crazyterran**

Vostroyans or Valhallans

**KGatch113**

Harakoni Warhawks would actually be a pretty good idea - they'd basically be "Elysians, but not copying the Forge World models so we're not stepping on their toes". It would give us Drop Troop players a more affordable source of Infantry without obviously detracting from the awesome of having Forge World stuff.

As long as some of them were girls.

Why does it have to be Cadian? Why not decree that we're going to make a female Elysian regiment, write some novels about them, and give them plastic models?

I know, I know, wishful thinking, but it'd be entertaining.

Except then basically no one would buy the Elysians.

Because most IG are Cadians. Perhaps just a Female IG upgrade kit. Most books state there are female troopers. Where are they?

**Atheos**

Steel Legion or Death Korps, easy choice.

**Kevv6**

Would have to be Elysians and death korps of krieg, not keen on most other IG (with exception of cadians)

**Azza007**

Tanith, Cains regiment or Death Korps of Kreig.
