On topic, the IG stormtrooper models are pretty awful. The Kasrkin are pretty good, but the basic stormtrooper metal model just looks awful.

Take. That. Back.


They only need a plastic kit.

You think this



is a good sculpt? I mean, even just compared to the Kasrkin, I can't find a reason to ever buy them.

But I will not retract my statement!

Okay, but we can all agree the Rough Rider model needs some serious updating in the IG range.

The open faced models are quite horrible, the closed mask ones though I love. They could use some tweaks, but overall I still think they're some of GW's better models. Remove a few grenades, the bandoleers, and a few other minor tweaks and you have a winner.

What's wrong with fire warriors?

Awful cast quality, at least in the boxes i had. About 50% had some serious ( and for me completely unaceptable) flaws, ecspecialy on the leg armour.

I like them hellguns. : D

They look like they could do some damage.

I'm not sure why they put the co-axial laspistols- I mean, targeters, on the far side of the gun instead of on top.

Maybe so they could actually be seen, unlike my Sororitas' bolter-scopes which are on the side of the bolter facing the Sister herself.

Blood Angel Sanguinary Priest - they are supposed to have Blood Chalices according to the codex, but only Corbulo has one. Plus it would be nice to have a box set of 3 with some of the options they can take, instead of a single model with no options.

And it's still effin boss!

Random rant on guard models and I would like to see them re-done. Catachans and cadians are "cut" differently at the waist. To mix the top and bottom halves, you either end up with no belt and looking funny or 2 belts and looking funny.

Co-axial lasgun. Also known as a laser sight.

Phoenix Lords...and desperately so.

Azreal and Ezekiel need to be updated. GW, how are you going to release the new Dark Angels and not include the Grandmaster? Plus, I do not like the Ezekiel model....

I think necron scarabs could use a new model aswell

SOB, because without new models, GW can use the excuse that the existing molds wore out to discontinue the army.

Eldar Exarchs and jetbikes and HOW DID GW NOT ALREADY DO THIS? They just got a shiny new codex a few months back, with a stonking great new big plastic centerpiece model, and Eldar players still have to make due with static-posed SCs that have hats bigger than a Space Marine's entire body?

I'm not even an Eldar player and I'm honked off at this.

Hey, Geedubs... instead of wasting time making conceptually goofy sculpts like Mr. Space Marine Inside a Space Marine (Marineception?) how about re-sculpting some of the absolute dogs in your Special Character line? Or some of these models that are older than many of your players? Don't worry about us Marine players... we will manage without Centurions somehow.

As a 15+ year veteran, I honestly can't wrap my head around how GW can update all sorts of models but leaves the 2nd ed Eldar Jetbikes alone. My god, just recut the sprue similar to like they did with the Space Marine Bikes. Keep the exact same jetbike chassis, but add a rider that looks like a modern Guardian. I did that conversion to all of mine using the original legs and arms, and I think they look absolutely great.

Really how long are the elfdar going to go without getting the fundamentals rebuilt? I think the rise of the plastic aspects will concur with the ability to take more of them as troops choices.

Also, Mephiston.
