I'm expecting the new Scout kit.
I'm expecting Assault Terminator resculpt with the new height.
New Vanguard sculpt
I don't expect a Devastator sculpt - and in fact expect them to fade as Tacticus Gravinators will be eventually released
New Bigger Landraiders are a long shot for soon, but eventually.
Its possible but unlikely to see any entirely new units since most/all of Task for Agastus just released

I wouldn't be surprised to see Primaris/New Sculpts of Sicarius and/or Cassius - though I also suspect Cassius goes back to the Deathwing as a Primaris and the UM get a new named Chaplain so we can't double dip on a model.
I'd expect a new Lysander
Potentially Vulkan He'Stan
I don't see them redoing Pedro because he's already got a datasheet, and I think he's going Gravis long term.

None of the above, as there is no second wave.

The Scouts will be a KT release, and get a general release later, and the only other unit missing in action (inexplicably) is the new completely optionless Terminator Captain.

Assault Terminators and Primaris Vanguard will come with the new Blood Angel Codex, as that's where they fit the most (failing that, Assault Terminators with the Dark Angel book).

That does not bode well for the Dark Angel release. They're going to be (or should I say better be) packed with bling'ed up versions of Codex kits - Ravenwing Outriders Primaris Black Knights, Speeders (including a new Talonmaster), Deathwing terminators (including Knights to kitbash a Strikemaster) - which makes me think the Assault Terminators were/are/should be in the main SM release.

I would be VERY suprised if dark angels got a new dark angel specific kit with their codex.

In a way I'd be surprised either way - is GW THAT out of touch? - but I'd be more surprised if they didn't. The Deathwing Terminator box that can make the (Deathwing) Command Squad, the Deathwing Knights, and the Deathwing Terminator Squad (that allowed mix-n-match shootinators - potentially with Plasma Cannon - and Hammernators) should be upscaled to match sizing (and generate sales, plus people think it already leaked from some sort of interview)- likewise the Ravenwing Black Knight/Command Squad box to Outriders (Bike Squads are gone) and the Talonmaster (The Tornadoes it was based on with two bits from a Ravenwing sprue are gone). Its possible the Talonmaster gets moved to a bike with the changes to leadership.

As an addendum- Blood Angels aren't even on the horizon yet, so I would have expected the Vanguard Vet resculpt to come now like the Sternguard did, The Blood Angel release window will have Primaris Sanguinary Guard, and Assault Intercessors with Jump Packs blinged out with blood drops for the Death Company. Plus, please God, a final end to Captain Tycho with a replacement company captain for them to use.

Rumour is deathwing knights and regular deathwing coming with the DA, no mention of assault terminators.

There's been mention of Assault Terminators, but the credibility of those mentions remains to be seen.

It is worth noting that Assault Terminators and Vanguard Veterans both could see a release whenever, simply because they would be updates to the kit rather than a full new unit.

They would be full new kits.

They could do a more expensive box with an extra arms/head sprue for them both tbh but it seems a bad idea.

That GW made a joke and is about to get out those fethed guard regiments instead

Pretty sure we already got those. Unless GW announced more (or my memory is incorrect, which...probably, yeah), we were only promised three, and we've received:
1- Plastic DK
2- Reworked Cadians
3- Reworked Tanith
4- Attilans
For my part I would only count that as none (I consider a regiment to be, at minimum, an infantry squad, a heavy/special weapons sprue with all options available, and a command squad of some sort), but this is GW we're talking about, so "oversell and underdeliver" is the name of the game.

I wonder if Attlians will ever get anything but Rough Riders -- they seem to always just be that mongolian horse warrior archer/lancer in SPESSS! and nothing else. A whole world whose defense rely on just horse archers seems impossible -- what about the PDF? There's evidentally one metropolis on Attila so there's need for static defenses, therefore they must have forces suited for defending cities, right? i.e. infantry, tanks, artillery, etc. I suppose the guards will only ever use Guardsmen units, so GW's excuse, as if they ever needed one, is that the IG never bothers recruiting them for any role other than specialist rough riders.

I'm still dreaming of a multi-part kit that makes Steel-legion, Vahallan, and Tallarn by the swapping of heads and a few body attachments (Tallarn and Vahallan gets those cross-shoulder sacks or grendade bandoliers they can overlay over those pocket belts Steel legionaires have, for example), also about 5 pairs of shoulder pads that Tallarn's got.

Those Mordian unifroms are just too darn sharp for the ragged looks of the above regiments, and the Vostroyans -- too fancy. Shame these two also don't anywhere alike one another. Maybe Mordians (and maybe even the Praetorians) can get a kit, but aw sheeet

Off topic, personally, I don't see how Elysian can't be a upgrade kit since their main gear is basically the same as Cadian's, but that's dipping into FW's lunch

Cadian rework doesn't really count to me as, well, it's but a rework while others where simply deleted In the meantime.

However I wonder how aware gw is of the proxy market and might not really bother anyway. When they came out in metal back in the days, I don't think there was such an offer of suitable minis. Was there?
