Just something I thought I'd put out there and see what people thought. It was amazing how good Farsight and the Tau Commander looked when they updated them, what 3 models would you like to see have the same treatment?

Crisis Suits would be my main one, hate them, and as a Tau player that's quite annoying.

Aun'shi for another, although he probably doesn't have a place in most Tau armies he's still an awesome character.

And I'll also say a couple of the Phoenix lords, mainly Asurmen.

What 3 models would you want to see given an update?

Abaddon, Vect, and Khorne Bezerkers need updated models. Abaddon because his weapons are blunt and his hair is stupid, Vect because his model is sitting down and Bezerkers because they look like their doing toe touches.

Mordians, Vostroyans, and Tallarns.

1. Battle Sister Squad
2. Battle Sister Squad
3. Sister Dialogus

1. Crisis suits: Their models are old and clunky
2. Fire Warriors: They need to be updated to mach the new pathfinders
3. Eldar Jetbikes: YOU ALREADY HAVE THE MODEL DAMMIT!

Biovores - My god, the derp.
Phoenix Lords - Just so... 90s...
The Stormfang - WHY?

it's funny someone would say that. When I finished building my berzerkers, I looked at one with pitty because I thought that same thing.

Great idea for a topic:

Imperial Guard plastics - the Catatchans are hideous, the Cadians boring. Replace them both with a new regiment with some real 40k flair like the Vostroyans and a quality comperable to the Empire Fagellents or Handgunners.

The Chibi Hawk and all its spawn, replace it with something like the Aquilla Lander or Corvus Lighter.

The SM Dread, get rid of the angry washing machine and make the Contemptor the standard design!

1. Space Marine Honor Guard - separate them from Papa Smurf, make them plastic, give them options for equipment.
2. Chaplain - give us a general release plastic one.
3. Thunder fire Cannon - give us a plastic one with a plastic techmarine.

Dante - Not a bad model but he is currently outshined by the Sanguinary Guard.
Vect - Should make for one of the coolest models in the game.
Jain Zar - I don't even know where to begin, its just bad.

Crisis suits - it's not the blocky so much as the need to cut the model apart to pose it decently that bothers me, but blending in woth the more rounded contours of the current Tau batlesuits would also be great.

All the Imperium's Tanks - the aesthetic just hurts on most of them for me. It wouldn't take a lot to make them much more plausible looking while still keeping that slightly retro-tech look the Imperium favours.

Since that last one was so big, I think I'll stop there.

- Sisters of Battle Squad.
You know, 3 sprues, 5 girls squad, weapons for all configurations, detaisl for all units in the codex, and a generation of Hater in the wall selling their kidneys to field 60 of them. maybe we can even dream about 2 sprues, 10 girls for decent prices, and some resin kits for complementary stuff (jump-packs, celestias, etc).
(those are my 3)

Ork Buggies, Catachan regular blokes and Ghazghull.

Ork buggies, they really need a modern model with normal sized driver and gunner.
Space marines centurions...
Eldar falcon based tanks..... these are ugly models.

Edit : I think that the eldar bikes should be on my list...

i have to agree with the crisis suits, they are the reason i decided not to do Tau.

Mine would be:

Ragnar Blackmane
Mephiston & Dante
Abbadon, Obliterators, & Berzerkers

sorry, couldn't name just 3

Rough riders. Would like to see a non horse version. I have been thinking of using scout bikes with catachan arms/torso. Just cant bring myself to spending 110 dollars to do so. Other than that:

I don't know.

Sisters of battle. definatly need this the most.

beyond that I'd like to see a plastic terminator libarian. and maybe a terminator captain (which we might eventually get)

Abbadon above all things. Such a stupid looking model.

Hive Tyrants need to go back to the Xenomorph Queen of 3rd Edition. Back when they had class and style... A winged 3rd Edition was a beautiful beast and the modern Samurai (Swarmlord) has Scoliosis...

Librarians. I hate helmet-less Marines (Snipers, shoot here!) and Librarians are no exception. Give me the option to choose what my HQ looks like please and thanks.

Mepheston, love the fluff, hate the 80's band look.

Eldar Jetbikes, particularly after the dark eldar got amazing looking ones.

I don't play sisters, but they deserve even a basic plastic squad box.

centurions.
sisters of battle- even tho i don't play them.
obliterators

chaos marines

necron warriors

nurgle marines

It currently looks like the Boarding torpedo from Space Hulk (or thats what the shape reminded me of, agreed.)

Regardless: Abbadon, PLs and the Storm Talon [I'd really like the Nephillim fighter, and wished it was the Standard issue aesthetic wise, it actually looks like a fething aircraft!]

Zoan/Venom-Thrope dual kit.
All in 1 Space marine HQ box sets - so 2 kits that will either make a Capt/CM, Lib, Chap, Techmarine in Power armour with various options, and the 2nd kit makes the same but in Terminator Armour with lots of options.
The Red Terror and Bio/Pyro-vores. Just looks rubbish.

I'd like to see some less pointy CSM bits.

Some updated Terminator helmets would be neat (Gorgon anyone?)

And maybe some bigger Ork boys that don't have their rumps in the air.

1. Sisters of battle squad

2. Sisters of Battle Sephrem

3. Sisters of Battle with special/heavy weapons.

Eldar Jetbikes.
Eldar Warp spiders.
Eldar phoenix lords.

ALL of them are still stuck in the 90s and as much as I like Jes Goodwin's work - they really let the team down based on how much his work has improved over the last 25 years.

Battle Sister squad
Seraphim Squad
Space Wolf Terminator squad (CYCLONES FOR THE LOVE OF THE EMPEROR GIVE THEM SOME CYCLONES!!!!111!!1!1)

I want a universal terminator box.

1) Huron Blackheart
2) Abaddon
3) Chaos space marines in general

Abaddon for sure. I would also like to see an update of the RoC Keeper of Secrets keeping the same look. I wasn't sure why they went so different when the other Greater Daemons had the same overall design. Then maybe the Defiler.
