Reading through my new Harlequins Codex, you see a few cool main big plot hints:

1) The "dead king on the throne of silence" is planning on being resurrected soon

2) Yabbadabbadingdon is going to "seize a prize long denied"

3) Ceogarach has a super awesome mother of practical jokes planned to force Slaanesh to expend all her power to save, not destroy, the Eldar.

And that got me thinking. What are the oldest, most outdated kits in 40k not called the Get Back In The Kitchen Of Battle? The ones most likely to be in need of a major update but which GW would need a big event to actually move sales of?

Chaos Space Marines: old crappy kits with kits that would sell like hot cakes (bikers) frequently scratch built or proxied.
Astro Militirumiomi-uh, Guard: old crappy infantry models with obnoxious crappy Cadian uniforms
Eldar: split between cool models and weird 80s cone hat warriors

So how likely do you think a GiantenemyCrabbadon invasion and smack down of Cadia resulting in new better looking standard guardsmen and CSM kits might be? Maybe a new batch of Eldar kits along with some new Slaanesh goodies, as they lack a lot of the model range that Khorne and Nurgle have?

Not very likely based on current rumours for this year (admech, maybe kroot and a 30k release).

Aspect warrior's of khaine all fine cast and dumpable quite quickly. Easily replaced by wraith's or harlequin's. I still believe that we'll end up with a merged eldar codex down the line.
