This I do not grok. THe new bloodletters kick it oldschool right hard, and look great.

I don't intend to field mine as Bloodletters - I like them as basis for some other conversion.

Oh jeebus! How did I forget these guys?



From out of the frozen north they came, from the artic wastes, a proud and hard nippled folk, the CHAOS MARAUDERS!

Guys, put on some shirts before you die of exposure!

Like the Catachans these are a potentially good idea ruined by too much Conan not enough real barbarian. If GW put them in ragged leathers and furs with bits of chainmail and such. Throw in some budding mutations as well. Instead we got...

Geeze.

Not even Conan, more like these guys

and also chaos furies

PLASTIC FURIES ARE NEEDED!

i would have loads if they did plastic ones...

yea the current ones are crap

hey, the marauders are just hot in the sunny south, so they took off their shirts... I think there are much worse models to be replaced before we worry about the topless chaos men.

1. Daemonettes: well they're supposed to be sexy aren't they, I'd like it if they went back to the 4th Edition Daemonettes.

2. All Slaanesh Daemons for that matter: I mean I know it's Chaos but could they make them just a little less ugly.

3. Catachans: for the same reasons.

4. Chaos Sorcerers: make them in plastic please.

5. Dark Eldar Wyches: I dunno, something about them just bothers me.

The Chaos Fury models aren't bad, aside from their being metal (and therefore expensive) instead of plastic (and therefore priced like current Daemonettes / Bloodletters).

Um, I thought they did - aren't the plastics pretty much a return to the "classic" look?

1) Dwarf slayers. They're older then a lot of kids who play this game.
2) Chaos dread. Hasn't changed since 2nd ed.
3) Leman Russ et. al Time for the guard to get some new toys. They've been driving those Chimeras and Leman Russes for a LONG time.
4) Boar boyz.
5) Dark Eldar... I have my army....and I like it.. BUT... I dream of what new plastics would look like.

ill second that motion, those models do need to be replaced or updated

JohnHwangDD wrote:aren't the plastics pretty much a return to the "classic" look?

yeah, leave the chickenettes alone

seriously, i like the new daemonettes

The new Daemonettes look okay, but they need some extra detail for painting. Other than some claws and torso "armor", they are awfully boring.

You know in movies, where the succubus/vampire is all sexy until they decide to eat your face? Then it's all fanged maw, black eyes, and claws. Yeah. They're just done disguising their true nature.

they need more boobs

Dark eldar everything (except drazhar).

Was reading through the DE codex redux today and would love to do an army of them again (last army sold off 2002) but the models are so bad its not worth it.

1) Plastic Cadians, i know i might be the only one here, but i hate the faces, they are so flat and very hard to paint up nice being as their entire face fills up the helmet its completely out of proportion

2) Plastic Ork Warboss, we have seen the ABOR one now give us a multi part one like Chaos and SM have!

3) High Elf Infantry + Silver Helms, lets face it only the metal models and the newer plastics like the Lord and Mage are the only nice

4) Plastic Ork Boyz, i'm sorry i much like the look they had in 2nd ed prehaps a hybrid so the look like the old ones but have more muscles, like the new plastic daemonettes even though i prefer last editions

5) Wood Elf treeman, that latest model looks about as good as my nan does in a bikini

I agree on plastic cadians, especially now that we have seen the Krieg.

Heck even the original metal Cadians were better than the current plastics.

But oh well.

It's got to be the Leman Russ tank for me. There are plenty of GW models I dislike, but this is the only one that single-handedly stopped me getting a whole army.

5th edition made me want to get back into 40k (after a 20 year absence... I dithered with Rogue Trader back in the day...). I wanted to do Guard. But, I wanted mech support, which realistically meant a LR. But I frackin' hate the model - particularly alongside the Marine tanks, which while not perfect at least look feasible. It is just all horribly wrong in its proportions - not least because the commander would get cut in two by the recoil of the main cannon.... <SNIP to remove prolonged and boring rantage>

So I could have proxied with one of the gazillion historical tank models out there, or kitbashed one into something GrimDark at least. But I'm too fething lazy. I really derive no fun from kitbashing I'm afraid.

So, no guard army for me.

Mind you that worked out in GW's favour as I would have been using Pig Iron troopers in the main, so they would have seen little of my money. Whereas, in the end I plumped for Spayz Mariens (HURR!) like every other punter with no imagination... so I'm pushing the odd few quid there way on that instead.

Yeah I guess so. Also, vampires should never be sexy, it doesn't make any goddamn sense, they're supposed to be starved, predetorial walking abominations.

Like supermodels!

rofl

Yeh i agree with catachans, leman russ, and those marauders (i never liked those when they came out though). Theyre al just too...cumbersome.

As for the Eldar Phoenix lords: they're absolutely beautiful models, don't try and say otherwise. All the eldar character models are, come to think of it.

I would like to see goblins in the style of the old, weedy metal ones from 3rd/4th edition. Brian Nelson does brutal orks, but the goblins shouldnt be brutal at all.

I just forgot a key one for me!

HORMAGAUNTS.

Seriously, can I get a model that I don't have to weigh down the base of a hundred of them, and secondly, when I get to CC, don't have to put them ass first so I can actully get in base to base with the enemy model?

We just dogpile our Hormies as best we can and go from there.

Tyranids: why the croupier's stick is a tabletop gaming accessory.

1. Abaddon. He's a dwarf at the moment, which is odd enough for a guy reputed to tower over Terminators outside of his armor.

2. Obliterators. The metal ones are obscenely heavy and hard to construct without gluing your fingers to the Oblit itself.

3. All the Dark Eldar need help. Badly. Dr. House couldn't cure their ails.

4. Imperial Guard Officers. Throw out the metals, throw in some plastic. The Colonel Klink clones are everywhere, and Creed looks like a wall with legs.

5. Eldar Fire Prism. It's like an Obliterator, only a tank.

That's the warping power of Chaos. If you leave the model there long enough, it fuses with your skin. Didn't you know?

Just so I can contribute something useful to this thread:
New Tau Stealth Suits. Hate `em. The old ones were much better.

plastic meganobs with all the weapon options
plastic chaos dread with all the weapon options
plastic death core and all the extra stuff
plastic ven dread that isn't a walking wedding cake
plastic the rest of the deamons those horrors are nasty fiddely little arms grumbles at arms falling off
