I was never a fan of the current range with the exception of DkoC. That's why I did not vote for any of the above choices. I'm with the other posters who would rather have the DkoC in plastic.

DkoC? Do you mean DKoK? The fact you wrote that twice is confusing me. (And Krieg is already in Plastic, just forge world plastic)

Oops! I meant DKoK. Thanks.lol

What forge world plastic? I know all their models are cast in resin. Unless its changed then alls the better.

Steel Legion in plastic would be amazing. I was originally going to take Death Korps models to make a Steel Legion army, but the models aren't a 100% match and the metal models look like garbage. I hope they actually do release them some day.

So, I'm definately leaning Toward Valhallans or Steel legion. My options are Gamesworkshop Metal Valhallans or overpriced Forgeworld.

Mordian.... With Praetorian head options as well.

I don't get why only the most boring IG armies are avaliable in plastic.

I would love to see a Flak/Carapace kit and a Coat kit, and would grab the first one of the FLGS shelves with more tanks to add to my army, but the thing is that they may not look the same and would probs cost a bit more than usual Cadian Squad.

What's with all the Catachan hate?
Personally, I think their great kit bashers for my own Regiment and I'm thinking on getting some more. If you actually read the fluff, their jungle fighters on a Primitive world where everythings gonna eat you and have your eyeballs for desert, so it may have a couple of Rambos, but their killed as easily, they just prefer to not get thrown into meat grinders if they can help it. Normal humans people, just specialized normal humans in the forms of Jungle Warfare and Hit and Run tactics.

The hate comes less because of their fluff or their bits, but more because they have terrible sculpting. GW has never been able to do muscles comfortably, and the Catachan "Rambos" just look like human colored gorillas with guns

Praetorian Guard hands down, partly due to the potential for the miniatures and the chance to make sharpe the company commander, the rest is just a huge dollop of overwhelming patriotism

Yep. I paint my Cadians Red and beige anyway, if I could have plastic Praetorians I'd drop £200 on infantry models in a heartbeat.

Valhallans for sure, love some Ruski action on the table. I would have gone for Praetorians once upon a time, but Vic's got that covered these days.

Only other one would be Tanith/Scout Guard.

Plastic kasrkins, please!

Updated Ghost models and rules for the next codex would be sick.

Mordian, there's something just awesome about guard with insane discipline. Their fluff makes them out to be some of the scariest guard there is.

Valhallans, as who doesn't like the idea of a Russian-Themed army pulling off the Stalingrad list =D. If not them, then I wouldn't mind seeing the Steel Legion, as they look a lot different in many ways when you compare them to a DKOK guardsmen. Or better yet, how about actually making some plastic Stormtroopers for a change and bringing back the Inquisition Stormtrooper army.

Aren't Vostroyan Russian and Valhallans Soviet?

i voted mordian, but Id prefer plastic deth corps of krieg

I know it's the "Abnettverse", but what was that regiment called in Guant's Ghosts? They were nicked named the Blue Bloods, and they wore purple carapass armour and were armed with hell guns. That'll be cool, though I guess they're too close to Stormtroopers/Kasrkins.

Poll fails without Praetorians.

Great minds think alike.

My vote goes to steel legion-no skin to paint haha.

Out of the choices - I voted for Mordians, but I think a rag-tag looking army like Savlars or Necromundan Spiders would be much more interesting. Would be a good opportunity to get some bits love for Necromunda as well.

Drookian Fen Guard, but then I would say that, being a jock. Guardsmen in kilts look badass. I'd hate GW kreig plastics having spent so much money on FW stuff. Praetorians would be my second choice, then Valhallans.

Now THAT would be awesome . Especially if the command set for them had a claymore in it or a broadsword at the very least.

None of the above-- DKoK. Steel Legion I guess as a secondary choice...

Death Korps will never happen in plastic, as much as I might like that.

I really can't be arsed to spend that much money on such a fragile medium as resin.

I'm surprised so many people are clamoring for more greatcoat/gasmask infantry, seeing as that's a market that's almost as saturated as polish ork heads and razorback turrets.

What about female guard?
