The new Krieg minis look great but I wish they included an alternative set of helmets with open faces. I like the Krieg look but part of the appeal of guard is that they are just regular humans thrust into a universe full of madness. The helmets hide that.

It wouldn't be Kriegers without their gas masks

I'm not saying don't do Krieg. I'm saying do a second set of heads in addition like the recent cadian sprue.

One of they joys of the imperial guard is the vast number of regiments. It would be a great opportunity to add more than one regiment to the range.

So if you want to make Krieg models... don't use the bare heads? I don't understand.

I fail to see the point of providing krieg miniatures with non-krieg heads. That's like providing ogryns with ork heads.

He's after a two-for-one box of different regiments that only requires alternate heads. Steel Legion or Chem Dogs would work (though I doubt he, specifically, would want Chem Dogs) without needing much more than that.

While I do understand this sort of request, I think it simplifies the regiments far too much and ignores the nuances that makes them distinct. Yes, something like Krieg and Steel legion are both gasmasked guard with long coats, but there's more of a difference to them that couldn't be done with just a headswap and such. They're only similar in that basic idea - they have entirely different boots, coats, lasguns, helmets, masks, gloves etc.

That's all true but having waited a very long time for new regiment in plastic, do you think there's even the slightest chance we'll get another plastic regiment with slightly different gear? Also I specifically asked for a set of heads without masks which would change the atmosphere quite a bit.

My dream release would be 12 kits. 4 different regiments each with a regular squad, a command squad and a heavy weapons team all with interchangeable bits but I don't hold out much hope for that.

I like this shot. There's a medic carrying his bag, a sniper, a spotter a flamer; essentially a completely different squad from the same kit.
I really hope they do more kits in the same style. Imagine a couple of Eldar kits like this. It would be a dream come true.
