That's a really good idea. Why haven't they done that?
I think they're going to when IA12 drops. But we haven't seen it yet, so on the list.

And that makes me sad, because I really like that model a great deal. But look at that tutorial! I can't do all that! If that tutorial were a person, I'd back away slowly like I would from a growling dog that may attack. I totally don't have any of the skills that guy has.

This. They used to give you one but now us IG players get a single crappy sentinel. Even a chimera would be a massive improvement.

EDIT: and PROFESSIONAL looking female commissars.
Both these.

Not as horrific as the Castle Greyskull stuff they keep putting out for Fantasy either. A little restraint on the skull side of things is necessary. More fortress types – weapon emplacements and other things for various races (big D-Cannons, Rail Batteries, Kill Kannons, Tyranid spore launchers, and so on).
Better plastic Guard (including female Guard, as the Imperium is a very equal opportunity conscriptor!). Plastic Stormies. More single-frame plastic character models (and no more FineCost).
Plastic Thunderhawk and Warhound Titan.
The terrain thing is a big one here, why is it assumed that every fight is always on an imperial world? There are battles on xenos worlds just as often.
Plastic stormtroopers are a biggy. But sadly as with many of these things GW are apparently just tossing all these in the trash cannister.
The plastic Warhound class Titan would be extremely welcom especially to people like me. All 4 weapons options and there you are.
Also a plastic Hydra flak tank kit would be a massive improvement as the current resin crapola from FW is far to expensive yet sadly under current rules vital unless you wish to be picked apart by flyers.
Infact on the same streak some IGAA gear would be nice. flak missiles, AA shells for Basilisks, maybe
even an AA punisher gatling variant and AA manticore missiles(fluff wise they can be launched)?

Its because ordinance is still a word.
However, firing ordinance at someone isn't nearly as threatening as firing ordnance at someone.
Ordinance is a local law, or bill, or other form of legislation.
Ordnance is high caliber explosives.
No 'I' in ordnance.
Don't drown the enemy in legislation, drown them in explosives.
The Storm Eagle is a really great kit once you get it together. It just takes a little bit of work. It's more an irritant than anything that requires a bit more work than it should.
I'd still recommend getting one, just not as your first FW flyer kit.
There are various ways to make Xenomorphs, I'm sure you know that and would just prefer a kit. However, Hasslefree already makes a reasonably good Ripley & Newt stand-in.

OK I'm going to be a little controversial here.. I'd like to see GW to expand their inclusion of races and creeds, and put women back into, their version of future humanity. They've actually taken some steps back over the years - Salamanders used to be dark skinned, without this coal black/red eye nonsense, the Tallarn were there alongside the other regiments, and of course the sisters of Battle who seem to have been quietly tidied away into a cupboard and forgotten about.
People have been able to choose race and sex in video games for at least 10 years, and perhaps it's time GW caught up a little? Yes I know there is nothing at all to stop you painting your marines as black Africans, Chinese or whatever, but the official representation of such is pretty much zero. It could only expand the appeal of the games.
These guys regulate and enforce military restrictions. The fact they have the strength to do it to Pan Oceania is incredible. I want to see what these guys are packing.
Yes but all of the factions ignore it when it suits them, as long as they keep their hands clean officially? I've always thought of them as being basically something like the UN which is all well and good, but lacks teeth and gets pushed out of the way the moment it inconveniences a major power.

They have two.
You're going to be waiting a long time for another one.
Personally, I want to see Knight Miniatures get the rights to their Star Wars miniatures back, and do a game with them.
I already own the Maghariba but (A) I would not call it a TAG (even if in game terms it is) and (B) I am not aware of another one. Got a link?
Sure do. They can also run Iguanas, but there's no model yet.
Also, not calling the Maghariba a TAG because it's not bipedal is harsh. Nothing says they have to be bipedal, they just need to be small, armoured vehicles.

That just makes them even more interesting to add.

Actually I wonder if these models might be pretty cool to represent the O-12? They are the 'NRF Infantry' models from Antenocitis Workshop - I can imagine them in a white armour with blue helmets and detailing
I think these guys deploying from a suitably coloured APC transport would be cool - Perhaps give them stats equivalent to a kind of medium infantry, or light infantry with slightly better armour (but retreat at 25% casualties or something )
Infinity models that had more options to them. By this I mean stuff like alternate weapons and stuff depending on the build you were doing for the unit. Then again they'd probably have to lose the wicked awesome sculpts they have.

There's already multiple profiles for nearly every unit type, covering basic rifles to special and heavy weapons.
If you mean actual models for them, I completely agree. I'm still waiting for the dozen or so doctors Haqqislam can take. The new squad boxes are taking care of this mostly though, but they are losing some of the dynamicness of the sculpts due to wanting the arms to be compatible with the 2 different torsoes they're including.

I would like to see a model for Old Zogwort, Wazdakka and an actual deffcopta kit that has the options for it.
Hoping when GW gets around to the orks that they'll give us some teleporta's or maybe those drill transports that the orks use in the Space Marine (ya I said it) video game.
A not too distant future, Somewhere in time and space...
Most things have been mentioned, like Leman Russes that come with the battleforces, more plastic Guard regiments, more plastic characters, female Guard, all options for a unit in a box and so on.
Aside from that, maybe update some of the older skaven models, maybe renew Bretonnia and the Dwarves.
Non-GW:
More plastic Hundred Years War and more plastic 12-13th century models. I know it's a dream, but hey, you can always hope.
Some plastic Russian cavalry - Hussars, Dragoons, Cuirassiers and Cossacks, ideally, - for 1812.
More plastic/resin models from Privateer Press and maybe some additional cosmetic options.
