There are many options in the GW line that have no models/kits. If you could make/design your own accessory sprue, what would it be? I would like an Imperial heavy weapons sprue to use for conversions. I would want it to include enough modular parts to make a pair of autocannons, lascannons, heavy plasmas, multimeltas, assault cannons, some kind of missile racks or pods, heavy flamer, power cells, ammo drums/boxes, gauges, dials, antennas, radar dishes, hoses, pipes, a turret base that fits both razorback/landraider type bases as well as a chimera type turret spot. I would also like another one for orks. Any thoughts/ideas?

My main armies are IG and =I= so I would love something like this.

In RT and 2nd edition days GW had sprues of lasguns, bolters, CC weapons, meltas and plasma and I would love to have a big sprue with all of the above.

A general pouches, shoulderpads and backpacks sprue would also be welcome.

But if I were running things the first thing I'd do is add an accessory sprue to the Cadian kit. Include alternate heads (old style colonial Marine helmets and caps) the missing special weapons, plasma, melta, sniper rifle) and other odds and ends.

Then relaunch Necromunda in plastic with a weapons sprue.

Just general weapon sprues for those kits that don't come with all the options, or that don't have enough options in the sprue to make a decent force

Female IG heads. Hats. Some casualties, maybe.

[Kicks ground] I don't dream big.

Damn this is a good question.

Corpses of every race.

It's really a simple thing though. A sprue of special weapons, for Guard and Marines and Chaos seperate. Five Melta, Plasma, Grav, Flamers and pistols each. WITHOUT hands attached. The old pistol grip sprues. Lord knows I need something like twelve of those...

I'd just like alternate poses for my Fire Warriors.

Not in any order of degree of want or importance but.

1. Sprue with 1 Leman Russ Turret then all the guns (battle cannon, exterminator autocannons, Demolisher cannon etc)

2. LR Sponson Sprue (both left and right sponson structure and 2 of each gun possible)

3. All Baneblade main guns. I.e the Volcano Cannon and the kits it can become, AND the Plasma Blast gun, and the other weapons it can carry, alongside its turret and the casemate super structure.

4. Essentially sprues with weapons corresponding to their vehicle. Like a whole sprue dedicated to all the weapons a Chimera hull can carry including FW.

5. FW weapon/conversion sprues... that are cheap and in $ not pounds and are available in the US (mostly for faster delivery purposes and slightly cheaper prices)

6. Wheels for Chimera (yes Im aware, there is someone who makes it. I can't recall who right now though, but a dedicated sprue would be nice)

7. Sprue for Enclosing artillery. Like the FW basilisks but more add-on.

Im sure I could think of more.

Extra space Marine legs?

Dark angels Centurion themed Assault/Devastator kits.
ASS
Shield and wrecking ball flail
Chainfist claws
Deathwind launchers


TAC
Assault cannons
Plasma cannons (rerolls gets hot)
CML with all missiles avalible to it (roll D6 for the amount of shots)
Avenger megabolters
Plasma Storm battery (rerolls gets hot)

Chest slot
Hurricane plasma talons
Grenade launcher with special ammo (RW)

Deathwing Devastator Terminator kits.
4x heavy weapons

Weapon upgrades kit for Nephilim/Dark talon.

An updated version of the old Chaos Mutation sprue that they put in all the old Chaos kits. So versatile. So good.

I would just make sprues for all those head/torso/leg options and keep every base kit to a minimum.

That way every base kit would have exactly 1 head/torso/leg for every model.

This would allow the base kit to be priced reasonably for people who don't give a gak about buying a 5-man squad with 15 heads, 16 right arms and 10 left arms.

Chain baseball bat.

Just for use with gangers in Necromunda really though.

Predator turret sprue.
Spur with sterngard combis and special bolters.
Eldar Exarch box kit. (Includes one of each exarch)
Imperial melle weapons sprue - including storm sheilds - ornate swords hammers axes and claws maybe some champion helmets.

I think each race should have a weapons sprue. All the weapons that are either not included in the core boxed sets or aren't included in great enough number. It wouldn't exactly be challenging to do.

I think the plastic Space Marine commander kit with the various weapons and heads was aces. Each army should have one of these so you can customize your HQ.

Except Nids. feth those guys! :-)

Kasrkin sprue for the Cadian Command Squad kit.

Alternate arms with Hellguns and special weapons and backpack power feeds.
Armor plates for the legs.
Different torso and fully enclosed helmets.

Would love some chaos weapon bits. I have and will convert loyalist gear, but it would be nice to have devastator weapons options or some alternate chaos vehicle decorations (other than wrought iron fences).

A dedicated stowage sprue for Imperial Guard.

I would love to see a devastators upgrade sprue. 2 mulitmelta, 2 plas, 2 las, 2 ML. A Signum backpack, plain banner, and a good few purity seals and servo skulls. I would happily pay 15 bucks or more for this sprue! I would also love to see a heraldry sprue. A full size sprue of nothing but servo skulls, banner poles, purity seals, long scrolls, aquilas, and so on. I would love to see some new/different servo skull sculpts as well. Some for targeting, scribe, vox, scouting, even a small armed one as person protection for the sergeant.

Icon sprues for all the armies to personalize terrain would be great too.

Failing that FW could do more brass etchings.

All those bits I wish I had. 8\

Maybe a sprue for each race with some of their unique wargear on it. Like Relics, Gifts of Gork and Mork, etc. At least make it easier to put enough good weapons on your guys with a single kit and no proxies (lack of this is the reason I haven't bought any Devastators yet). Another thing I would like is a dreadnought weapon kit (especially autocannons). The basic dreadnought kit only has 4 weapons, but in the codexes dreadnoughts have a lot more options.

- Heavy/special weapon kits
- Individual marks of power armour (mark VII, MK.VIII etc.)

Those two mainly for me.

Another idea, terrain details. A sprue of sci-fi doors, hatches, windows, consols and other things we can add to plasticard, foam core and just plain boxes to make them into buildings.

But really more than anything a generic spure of backpacks, pouches, holsters, canteens, ammo belts etc. I'd buy them up like crazy.

I agree with this. It would be really great for converting or adding a second weapon on somewhere (my brother liked to model his orks holding two pistols. it looked super cool but it was a pain because it meant there was one less pistol for one of his other guys.)

A sprue with the heavy guns on it.

Like sprue with Earthshaker Cannon(s), medusa cannons, etc so you can make a Artillery Carriage or something.

I would like to see a space marine shoulder pack sprue, where $40 gets you 1/2 sprue with shoulderpads for 1 faction, 1/2 sprue with squad markings (like tactical, assault, etc.), and 1 sprue with adornments that can be put on vehicles.

Yeah, seeing as most of us don't like to pay $10+ for 5 special weapons on a puny sprue >.<

How about a weapons sprue to convert various humans into necromunda gangers. It would include stubbers, lasguns, shotguns, various pistols, and some creative close combat weapons along with a head or two and maybe a scenery chunk for a base. That way instead of buying a variety of IG kits, you could buy one squad and the sprue.
