Quite simply put,

What would you like to see games workshop upgrade in their model range or better yet what new models would you like to see released and why?

I for one would like to see a range called " legends of the chapter" which would for each chapter of sm have approx 10 kits which would contain special legend characters spread throughout the chapters history detailing these heroes in their glory . That would be awesome

**vipoid**

I'd like to see some new guardsmen models.

Ones with actual human heads, rather than faces that appear to have been carved into potatoes.

**Jimsolo**

As a Dark Eldar player, I want my characters back! Give them back, or give us a similar alternative.

Have dark Eldar been pulled from the shelves by GW??

**Murenius**

New Greater Daemons would be nice, as discussed in another thread here these days

**Anpu42**

Rough Riders with the option of either 2 Las-Pistols or the Hunting Lance.
Thousand Sons/Tzeentch Chaos Marine set, heck one for each of the Marks of Chaos.

**Vaktathi**

As Vipoid noted, some guardsmen that either don't have looks of painful constipation, or plastic Steel Legion.

If they're going to keep Rough Riders, lets ditch the 20 year old Mongol sculpts.

I'd love to see an IG medium tank with some range to go in the FA slot, akin to a Hellhound chassis but sporting a weapon loadout akin to a Cyclone missile launcher or something and not Fast.

Many people were quite baffled when GW redid the Basilisk kit and didn't include the Medusa or Griffon, that would be a nice kit redo.

likewise, some sort of Veterans Upgrade kit with extra weapons/customizations and whatnot for making Vets would be cool.

Also, new Eldar Jetbikes, these things are as old as the Rough Riders and nearly as bad.

**Verviedi**

Plastic Steel Legion.
A new price model.
The terrible and sudden disappearence of GW's executive board.
IG motorcycles.
New Eldar jetbikes.
Farseer and Warlock on jetbike upgrade kit.
IG motorcycles.
Marbo.
Updated CSM kit.
Cult Terminators.
Plasma Guns and Meltaguns included in ALL IG kits.
IG motorcycles.
Non-monopose Flyrants.
Medusa V Tomb Stalker from FW.
IG motorcycles.

**Jefffar**

New Tau Crisis suits to fit the aesthetic of the other new battlesuits.

I think you forgot IG Motorcycles

**Accolade**

There are a number of things I'd like to see.

As an entire range, I'd like to see IG adjusted to FW sizes for guardsmen, they look so very much better! I know GW can do this, I've seen how dainty the DE Witch Elves are, so I know they can get the proportions down enough for guardsmen.

As individual kits, I'd like to see the end of the 2nd-3rd models that are still lurking about! I'm looking at YOU, Ork warbuggies, deffkoptas, Eldar jetbikes, and the rest. It's silly that GW can find to make storm troopers four different times (berets, gas masks, kasrkin, and scions) but can't get these antiques resolved.

**Kavik_Whitescar**

I want my Primarch >.>

. No...but they DID pull the majority of the characters from the codex. You asked what new models we want to see. I want new DE characters to replace the old ones. Just like Tyranids got a new bug-pod to replace the one that THEY had stripped from them.

**kambien**

I would love to have new tau battle suits redesigned to stop having the ankles break off if a fly lands on the model's head

**Great White**

Squats, their models are so 20 years ago

**BladeSwinga**

Updated CSM box, and either options for or a seperate box for chosen. Havocs could really use the SM devastator treatment. A proper kit for cultists. SM scouts could be a little more varied as models, and not quite so monopose.

**Paimon**

Sisters?

**Oberron**

I'm surprised it took so many post to see Sisters of battle.

But yeah sisters of battle. full range. Dialogus the most imo with it's claymation face.

**Tigramans**

Sales, perhaps?

**Kosake**

Well, aside from the completely obvious (sisters), there's a whole bunch that needs a redo:

- Ork buggies
- Ork Commandos and Tankbusters
- A really good Warboss kit. With options. Maybe different heads too.
- regular CSM and Havocs
- Greater Demons
- Whole bunch of other demons (lots of stuff that crowds the Elites and FA slots)
- Plastic Vostoyans

Gorkanaut and that Stormfang gunship. Yes, both are new. Problem is, both are ugly.

**Frozen Ocean**

Old things that need redone:
1) All Sisters.
2) Chaos Space Marines and Berserkers.
3) Crisis suits (to be less chubby).
4) Every non-Space Marine that is in GW's "inflated child proportions" should be put into Forge World proportions (at least Marines are relatively simple to "truescale").
5) Several Aspect Warriors, especially Warp Spiders.
6) Remove the silly daemon faces from every square inch of Chaos model, and remove the pointless cartoon skulls that are thrown all over everything because they're afraid of flat spaces.

New things that need made:
1) Female nameless characters (generic Farseer, Autarch, Commissar, etc)
2) More vehicle chassis for non-Imperium factions. It works for Space Marines, but it annoys me that the Eldar and Tau have the same method of refitting the same boring chassis for transport, battle tank, and other roles.

**Rosebuddy**

I'd like a mutants/beastmen kit that isn't just goat people. There used to be all sorts, after all. They've gone back to pre-3rd stuff in a lot of ways so this might as well be one of them.

**ugguyw**

A new price model.

**oz of the north**

I would love to see a new Ragnar Blackmane and possibly Arjac being made into plastic, not finecrap.

Also stormfang/wolf, I know it is new, but it is still god awful ugly.

**Frozen Ocean**

Even as a Chaos person who doesn't really like the Space Wolves, I feel your pain regarding the Stormwolf. It is so bad that I won't even tell you to be grateful for the attention.

Be careful when wishing for a new Ragnar, though. You might see him riding his black mane into battle, it having grown so large that it defies gravity and he is able to use it as a ~~jetbike~~ ~~wolfbike~~ ~~jetwolf~~ wolfwolf.

Thank you, but with Ragnar do not want new rules, just a model for him that was not first created when the Roman empire was modern events.

**ChaosxVoid**

Asdrubael vect as lord of war for DE would be great
Maybe a new Avatar
Ork warboss in plastic and multi part
Sisters of battle could have good potential
so many things I would love to see done up and less boring

**Ratius**

Old One Eye.
The Red Terror.
Ragnar Blackmane.
Ulrik.
More Xenos Terrain.

**ChocletEyeOfTerror**

-Chaos Marines Marks of Chaos upgrade kit for each mark of Chaos.

-Daemonettes. Those "new" ones are so freaking ugly.Single gaze on them make me suffer.

- Noise Marines .

-Also they could do some new Greater Deamons.

**Murenius**

Oh yes, Daemonettes! Not the censored ones!
