We've had a few of these before and it's nice to see some of my longstanding wish list ideas have made it into plastic or at least resin.

2025 lists here:
https://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/0/816471.page

Wargames Atlantic civilians include protestor riot options, Black Site has made realistic Astronauts, and there's several fantasy/medieval/Roman civilian options now. Archon is doing more and more cool terrain.

But is it not in our nature to want more?

So looking at last year's list with some updates...


Fantasy

Fantasy Ninjas/Monks/Martial Artists - Poses will be the key for these, if someone can do graceful and beautiful martial arts poses and weapons, but without people supported by their sashes or requiring one figure be in 20 parts, it would be awesome. Ball joints on the arms and legs would be great. Alternate ninja and monk heads since they'd both be wearing the same loose robes and you've got something.

Fantasy Pirates - to fight the ninjas. Cutlasses, flint locks, belaying pins, monkeys, parrots, a treasure chest on every sprue, come on!

Prisoners/captives/revolting slaves - hunched over starving humans in rags with alternate bound hands and hands with picks and weapons. Alternate downtrodden heads and angry heads.


Modern/Near future

Modern Ninjas/Monks/Martial Artists - Same as fantasy only with more like modern stuff. Maybe Uzis and silenced guns. Or broken beer bottles. Or something.

Modern Pirates - to fight the modern ninjas. Machetes, AK-47s, monkeys, parrots, a box of cash on every sprue, come on!

Tacticool Troopers/SWAT Teams/Faceless Oppressors - For completely non-political reasons I would love to have some faceless goons in body armor, with helmets and balaclavas and optional gas mask heads. A panel on the back where we can add the 3 letters of our choice. WGA just did Agents and Operators those kits might cover them but I've not gotten them yet.

Terrorists/criminals/Insurgents - To face the Tacticools, civilian clothes, masked heads and modern weapons. Again WGA may have his covered.

Cops/Security Guards - The guys who suck. Caps, flashlights, pistols, clubs, reading newspapers, smoking cigarettes, looking at their phones, snoozing. They'll all die in wave one. I'll buy ten boxes of them.

Street Gang - The other guys who suck. Switchblades, boards with nails through them, bicycle chains, zip guns, guys with mohawks, guys with leather jackets, guys with bandanas. The heroes will tear right through them working their way up to the Big Boss.

Superheroes - Easy as cake really. Superheroes traditionally have skintight costumes so artists just have to draw a figure and then color it in without worrying about the texture and folds of clothing. So some heroic human bodies, some capes, some wands and staffs and hammers and ray guns and jet packs and we're good to go.

Sci-Fi

Space Ninjas - With laser katanas and cyber shuriken and nuclear nunchakus and all that.

Space Pirates - To fight the Space Ninjas. With sonic blunderbusses and bionic peglegs and chainsaw cutlasses and all that.

Sewer Mutants - hunched over with tumors and rags and makeshift weapons. Basically the Hobbit movie goblins with guns.

Star Fleet/Imperial Navy - Space Navy dudes in nice uniforms, cool hats, tiny little pistols that you can set for maximum power wide-angle dispersal and take out half the building. At least one dude on the sprue with a Very Nice Uniform who can be the senior officer. They don't have to be full on Napoleonic Cosplay but it should be clear these are people used to air conditioned corridors and not trenches.

Post-Apoc Raiders - Guys with makeshift armor, spiked football pads, hockey masks, crossbows, jerry-rigged guns, molotavs. The kind of folks who ride around in cars with guns on them fighting for the last box of twinkies in the post-apocalyptic world!

28mm Vehicle Weapons and Accessories - Similar to ones for the 15mm gaslands but for 1/48 scale (~28mm) vehicles. Guns, ram bars, rocket launchers, barrels. Post-apoc fun! The future we were promised!

Black Scorpion do some nice pirates:

Only got one kit from my 2025 list, the rest are still very much in demand over here.. although I think that MKIV Battleplate will be released before MKV? Could use both tbh..

Plastic 28mm Bronze Age and Early Iron Age Near-East armies like Hittities, Assyrians, Babylonians, New Kingdom Egyptians, etc.

Plastic Etruscans to take on early Romans

HeroClix:
*I wish they'd make any as yet unmade members of the various 7 Soldiers of Victory teams. In their 7SoV accurate costumes, with the correct Keyword.
*And for any existing 7SoV figures who're in the wrong costumes or have the wrong/missing Keywords? Re-make them correctly.

Plastic Javelin and Outriders for 30k. Can't think of much competing there.

I'll just continue to call for multipart plastic Klingons, like I did the last two times.

See you in 9 months

I just want a multipart Primaris Librarian that isn't stuck in a bad pose.

Still a plastic modular robot sprue.

EM4 do some good generic gangs, SWAT/ near future troopers (think RT era Guard crossed with the Martian military from the original Total Recall) and some mech/ robot type things that are easy to kitbash

I got one of my GW wish list items with the upcoming Centaur, a 10 man light transport with an MG, so there's that. I guess it fills the troop truck idea I've had forever, though I'd like it to hold 20 or more.

So what else?

GW

Done in One IG Regiments - This has been on every wish list I've done, and it's back again! GW has shown it can pack a lot into a single box, the Arbites for example can make shotgun men, stick and boards or specialists. Whole Necromunda gangs fit on 2 1/2 sprues. So they should just churn these out for the Imperial Guard with the bits for a standard infantry squad, a command squad, and a unique elite unit for each regiment. IE the Tallarn Box builds 10 riflemen (with special and heavy options), Officers and specialists (with a flag and power scimitars and all that), and some unique Tallarn Desert Raiders who infiltrate and slit throats and set explosives and such. Basically rather than a regiment being a commitment for three or four kits do it all in one. Throw in a generic heavy weapon sprue and you've got a great army in one box.

Thunderbolts and Lightning - Very, very frighting! It's been almost 20 years since the Valkyrie came out (still one of my favorite kits) and more than 10 since the Dakka Jet, so now apply that genius to the Imperial Fighters the Thunderbolts, Lighting and Avenger! The Dakka Jet is a brilliant kit that can make distinctive looking planes from a single kit, this would be similar. Yeah you'd have to compromise the look of some planes but GW, I believe in you! You can do this! Would also accept 3 kits for them, I'm easy.

IG Jeep - It's been on my list forever, it is still on my list, it will be on my list forever. And no the Taurus does not count. I want something that carries 5-6 infantry and also be a staff car. Heavy bolter or missile launcher armament. Alt built as a command squad staff car.

I've owned a bunch of their troopers and gang and they are not good. Not good at all.

a rerelease of the original Beakes and classic paint set

Anything 1/72 in a sitting down pose that I can put inside a hot wheels car for Gaslands. Especially pirates.

I can and do convert but things that save me a hassle are nice.
