My god, YES. I want these models to exist. give them a short range Plasman rifle for free(Maybe Assault 2 12 in?) and one per squad can take a haywire gun.

I wish they would have given us a new sculpt. That's going to be kitbashing project for me.
I wish they hadn't take out quite so many of the units from 5th edition from the 'nid codex. It sounds like some of them were pretty awesome and I never got to try them. Bah.
I want a full fledged Adeptus Mechancius Codex and units. I know, more for the imperium, but it'd be so much fun...
I know there are mechanicum models on forgeworld. I get the impression that's for 30k (which I don't really know a lot about).
There is at least one person at my local GW that would love to see squats come back in some form.
We could use more female characters, or at least some resculpted heads/faces...
Oh and as much as the knights are brand spanking new, I'd like to see some more options....

All of them.
I mean *all* of them.
Every fluff unit, every forgotten relic from epic and chapter approved, everything that was once in the game but removed, EVERYTHING.
Except female Orks, Those can stay retconned because no one needs the image of Ork sex in their head.

Ooh, I forgot about them. In deathwatch they geta burst cannon, a flamer, a mini fusion blade, and an and this awesome field thing that blast everybody away too keep them out of CC. The commander version gets a flamer, a blast electic weapon that does quite a bit of damage as well as being haywire, a mini airburst frag. and the field thing, as well asa an ejection system.

Good close combat genestealers.

A collection of human and tau civilians with special scenario rules.
Solitaire, Exodites and female farseers.
Xeno terrain, esp. Tau buildings and Eldar gates.
I also would love to see more characters, but GW is currently discontinuing metal and Finecast so that would be in vain.

Phaerakh Xun'bakyr - Mother of Oblivion. If only because she is the only female mentioned in the fluff (excluding possibly BL Novels, haven't managed to check them yet). I mean recently there was a discussion on the forum about whether or not Necrontyr had a gender prior to the biotransference. This is provided that GW doesn't do something stupid with the model, like slapping a pair of breast on a necron and calling it good.

You *know* that is what they're going to do with it. Necrons are otherwise robotic skeletons. You could use any other Necron Lord model and say its a female Necron.

On the other hand Necrons are aliens, so they might not even be sexually dimorphic.

Yes, of course, but other than what would basically amount to minor differences in the model (at the scale a 40k figure is), I would bet money that it will be a Necron with an.... ah... "enhanced torso plate".
I mean, otherwise, we're looking at a Necron model with a slightly shorter torso, slightly longer legs, slightly narrower shoulders and slightly wider hips. If the figures were, like, 4" or 6" models, then that would be some noticeable variations, but given the standard scale of a Necron figure, I don't think such anatomically-accurate alterations would be enough to justify creating a mold for, it just doesn't visually create a strikingly-different model, unless they started adding some sort of Necrodermis hair or something.
Maybe they will do like they did with Shadowsun. Topknots on Girl-Crons, chromedomes for Boy-Crons.
