I have an unhealthy love of Forgeworld. I don't have the money for forgeworld, but I love the models. So, as the title asks - what are models / rules that you would like to see migrate from forgeworld areas into becoming standard 40k rules? I would personally love to see some support for the Heresy line for play in 40k lists. I keep eyeing the Legion Breachers and Recon squad. Both look awesome and they are great concept. Nothing would make me happier than to see the two units rolled up into the new Codex Space marine coming out, but it is unfortunately just a daydream.

What are some toys you'd like to see become available (even if some rebalancing is needed) to run around your 40k games?

we use all Forgeworld units,( excepting Apoc only units) in our 40k games..no exceptions, just more new fun units as far as we are concerned.

All 40k approved units from FW are treated, as normal units with the people I play with.

I enjoy using the Necron stuff from IA12 the most.

The Avenger Strike Fighter, of course. Sisters could use a flyer.

CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT!


On a more serious note, Contemptor Dreadnoughts.

All Forge World units are normal units.

I think that the point of transferring them over is so that the awkward sorts can't refuse to play you just because it's from FW. And hey, it is convenient having it all in one codex.

I agree, I love the DKoK for IA12 and the Necrons. I actually prefer playing the Necrons from IA12

The FLGS I go to Lets me play my DKoK. I don't spam Thudd guns and emplacements so people don't Instantly cry OP and cheese.
The only rule I'v had trouble telling people about is Unstoppable Advance.

The Chaos Servants of Slaughter and Decay lists would be nice then.

Mortis Contemptor Dreads

This. Especially the last bit. The two I mentioned in my original post were actually from the heresy 30k series as well. I'm not sure I could show up with them and say "this is in my codex now" without some finagling. Though I'm definitely tempted to use the recon models as proxied scouts

I think their is a slight difference between the Forge World releases for 40k and Fantasy, and the 30k list. The 30k list wasn't designed for normal 40k game play, and was designed for it's own closed off rule set. Still, those Recon Marines are really cool models.

I love the models (and some of the rules) that FW has released. Unfortunately for me, I don't have the money to actually buy anything and with FW my group has said no proxies, no actual book (including for things that have updates on the website), no use.

Centaurs as dedicated transports for command squads (That's the universal carriers were for after all)

And artillery pieces that don't cost twice much as a Basilisk at half the points cost

Lastly, Hydra needs to be a plastic kit

I especially like the Vulture gunship with the AC MRP combo.

Without trying to sidetrack the thread what are these 30k lists everyone is talking about?

As for FW I'd love to have the Ork Kommando kits given an official box from GW because personally they're so much better than the current ones, put a squiggoth in with the Orks as well, let me put Knarlocks and Remoras in my Tau permanently and make the death corps onto a plastic set for IG.

Plastic thunderbolts for SM would be really cool.

Forgeworld released a 40K supplement (and models) which is basically Warhammer 30K. The only book released so far can be found here.

I would love for most models to become GW-models.
But that's mostly so they are easier to buy and because that will probably lead to plastic models instead of resin

Mortis Contemptor dreads for my Dark Angels.

Because feth your heldrake, eat 12 BS5 skyfire, interceptor S6 rending shots with two krak missiles to boot.

*Per dread*

Before they were hit with a massive nerfbat I would've said Malanthropes, now I just want Stone Crusher Carnifexes.

Those elysian (sp?) Drop sentinels.

This. It doesn't matter to me where a particular unit is published, it's all part of the same game.

I play the Siege Regiment, so no Unstoppable Advance, but I get to spam Thudd Guns and Carriages

I just wish everything listed in GW codices were GW models. Medusa, Griffon, Colossus, Hydra, Vendetta. I mean, many of those are staples in IG armies yet to actually HAVE the model you need to kitbash or FW it.

Also, I don't like resin.

Salamander Scout Tank & Vulture Gunship.

The Imperial armour books, including aeronautica and apocalypse, are coming out with 40k stamps and apocalypse stamps, showing where these units are meant to be used.

The biggest problem is other players perception of forgeworld as being OP or unbalanced.

Thats what needs changing.

99% of all FW models, as they are exceptionally good-looking models. The remaining 1% are the terribly overpowered stuff, mostly, as usual, IG.

What about horribly Underpowered stuff like the breacher drill, any of the FW Chaos fliers, or lightning strike fighter?

What about those? I thought I was pretty clear...
