i was just wandering about old models that need re-doing by gw soon, so i wanna know what yours are whether they are from one faction or many armies in the 40k universe whatever models you belive need re-doing or even another version or type of model (e.g. another c'tan shard), but here are min any way

another c'tan shard or two is needed for more variety rather than just the deciever or the nightbringer
all the greater daemons are now showing their age so they need to be re done along with skarbrand and ku'gath models to (big rumours for plastic ones mid next year are about )
tau vespids need re-done as they all look similar in just like a one dimensional pose
warp spiders again all look to similar in poses
new jakeoro models, more variety would be cool
deff koptas only have one available model so they need done along with warbuggies
old one eye, biovores

i think they are the major ones that gw need to get doing fast

Dreadnoughts.

The Grey Knight Dreadknight should've been the final proof that GW now has the technology and material to make proper walkers, even for Space Marines.

Those stupid "Mr. Strong" style washing machines on stumpy legs need to go the way of the Dodo. Fast.

I don't mind one-dimensional poses, and I honestly have trouble believing that Jokareo are popular enough to warrant new models.

I'd have to go for certain special characters, in particular
- Abaddon
- Kharn
- Logan Grimnar
- Bjorn
- Abaddon
- Vect
- Phoenix Lords
- Abaddon
- Old One Eye
and lastly, Abaddon, because he really needs it!

You forgot the old warbuggy orks got... it's one of the oldest.. if not THE oldest still in the shop.

I think the CSM box needs redoing, given the awesomeness that was the Raptors and the DV chosen. The new models are far more chaotic and detailed, and I can't be the only player put off by the poor quality (in contrast) of the core troops.

Seriously, GW, make a CSM box that looks like the new chaos stuff and I'll be all-out heretic in seconds!

Neither Skarbrand nor Ku'Gath have models. Unless you have dropped into Dakka from the future.

yea many characters need re-doing, and yea i mentioned the warbuggy cos it does need re-doing

yea i have only jokes no thats what i meant that they need models maybe i should have written that a bit better but no seriously they need models s only fateweaver has one for the named greater daemons

The SoB, of course.

Though I wouldn't want their basic appearence changed too much, mostly just them made into posable plastics.

I'm sorry, what? Put some punctuation in there. Please.

The SoB only really need plastics... and a complete re-do of the Sister Dialoguous... but outside of that, aesthetically, their model line is fine.

Yeah, it's the all-metal bit that's bad. Apart from that, they're just like Eldar, CSM, etc.

I'd say a gak load of special characters, a huge chunk of the CSM line, the greater daemons, SoB and a load of Eldar stuff need redoing. I would say Tyranids, but I'll wait until January for that.

Priority: Sisters of Battle. Most of them.

Necron Flayed Ones.
Space Marines Centurions.
Daemon Fiends of Slaanesh.

Tau crisis suits. There's no excuse for the iconic unit being such an awful obsolete model.

Completely agree. That size comparison thread with the FW versions really drove it home. The GW plastic one looks like a Happy Meal toy next to them.

In no particular order:

SOB
CSM Cult troops (Thousand Sons / Plague Marines / Noise Marines)
CSM Havocs.

i agree with most like the sob, flayed ones need better models than now and crisis suits could use re-do's too,

Eldar jetbikes
Eldar Warp spiders.

They updated the Wraithguard after 20-odd years.
Time to do the rest.

I just read an old White Dwarf from 1996 featuring the new plastic Eldar Jetbike. Kind of puts things into perspective when there's still a model that's a regular fixture of some armies that's older than many of the people who play this game.

Reeeworrrrk meeee!!!

a great example of one dimensional just standing there chainsword in one hand and bolt pistol in the other at each side legs aprt not much action at all

Is your keyboard missing commas, periods, or any punctuation?

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

A good chunk of the Eldar Range needs redoing.

SOB need a full redo, pretty much like what the Necrons/DE had.

The GDs are really bad at this point.

1: Punctuation. Please.
2: The word you are looking for is 2 dimensional. Ragnar is a perfectly fine sculpt, if a little boringly posed. Another example of a model that is older than many of the people that play this game.

Eldar have a good few models dating from second edition. I was flabbergasted that they did not redo the jetbikes with the 6th ed release. All the phoenix lords, swooping hawks and warp spiders as well. Jetbikes and vypers are both solid designs still, but the technical design of the models, the layout of the sprues, and the riders are all showing their age.

Actually for a person described as extremly agile even for a Space Marine he looks sluggish and lame. And the mini itself is way smaller than current models... And his rules are outdated too, he needs a total overhaul badly.

Are you trolling?Dreadknight and proper should not be in the same sentence.

Any model that is or was in metal (Finecast) pretty much needs to be redone. They're very two-dimensional and often come of as static and boring when compared to the other kits.

Orks could use new buggies, wartrakks and actually getting models for half their HQ'S! Maybe some new Big Gunz. Other than that they are pretty good.

DE are mostly good. New Drahzar please, and again some HQ's would be nice..

Daemons need GD, because the existing ones are just sad. Ku'gath and Skarbrand, new Fleshhounds and Beasts of Nurgle. New furies FFS! The existing ones are butt ugly.

Not all of them, but the bulk of them i'd agree with. Especially the older casts.

Some of the newer Finecast/Metal scultps are a lot more dynamic, such as Lelith, the Lhamean and the Incubi from the DE range.

Some of the older metal sculpts still have an awesomeness to them also. Zagstrukk, for example, is a very active sculpt, which just radiates badass. PITA to put together, but awesome.

Obviously the Dreadknight looks stupid from an aesthetic point of view, but it does establish that GW has the technical ability to make that kind of complex kit now (and then the Riptide/Wraithknight confirm it).

the C:SM Terminator Captain is on my short list... Sicarus wouldn't be bad either...
