A CSM box redone in the style of the DV Chosen/2012 Raptors and to the quality of the 2013 Tactical Squad would make an instant heretic of me!

Elder Guardians look a bit rubbish compared to the likes of Dire Avengers, and the jetbikes need redoing.

I would s at Crisis suits, but it's the aesthetic as much as the model that puts me off those.

1. Abbadabbadon.
2. Chaos Marines.
3. Bloodthirster

Necrons are flawless.

Hive Tyrants need to go back to the Xenomorph Queen of 3rd Edition. Back when they had class and style... A winged 3rd Edition was a beautiful beast and the modern Samurai (Swarmlord) has Scoliosis...

Sorry man I have to comment on that as it's the worst thing I can imagine that could happen to Tyranids. See I think new Hive Tyrant is the best nid design, better than regular xenomorph as the latter is in fact a dick on legs, I'd say that HT is on par with alien queen awesome wise. But thats personal taste, now what is practicaly objective claim is that 3rd edition HT was a cheap alien queen copy, a least orginal nid model ever and so borked and low quality that it couldn't even wipe that self aware "I'm such a scam" grin from its face. Anyway, the opposite of class and style imo.

Please look again.

Mephiston. The hair can stay, but the "come at me bro" pose is bland

Crisis suits. Rework the damn ankles please.

Sisters of battle. All of them.

Case in point.

1: Ork Buggies. Good god they are old and bad.
2: Ragnar Blackmane. How is this model still in production?
3: The Leman Russ tank. Something without a ridiculously high profile please.

Top 3, not in order

Chaos Space Marine Bikers

Eldar Jetbikes

Chaos Space Marines


after that honorable mentions
Bezerkers
Obliterators
Mutilators(and rules that arent terrible)
Vect(his model isnt even really legal anymore)
IG Catachans(I would like plastic steel legion)
CSM Landraider (with a new weapon loadout dual kit)
CSM defiler

+ Kharn the betrayer(why is his ax arm bare?)

Id like to see the FW razorback turret become standard, so much neater.

Then get rid of the jungle fighters and bring back the Valhallans.

Finally sort the Tau wargear pieces out, make them clearer and nicer!

Ork buggies
Ork Wartrakk
Eldar Jetbikes

Seriously, GW. The 90's are long since dead...

Chaos Space Marine tacticals, chaos Havocs, chaos terminators

Isn't that purposely a throwback model?

1) Crisis suits
2) Sisters
3) Fire warriors (legs and arms) (edit damnit wait i take it back, Sunshark duel kit.... into a barracuda)

1. Ork Buggy/Trakk. Something not Gorkamorka era please.
2. Thunderfire cannon- Give it a plastic Techmarine and some plastic servitors. If you add a servo-arm and conversion beamer, then it would cover the entire Techmarine range of options.
3. SM Predator- merge the 3 sprues of guns and options into one, use the sponson style of the Baal Predator instead of the flimsy old one.

1. Warbuggies
2. Ghazghkull Thraka
3. Ork boyz

- Ork Warbuggies: As old as Eldar Jetbikes, but at least these look barely passable.

- Leman Russ Battle Tank: You think the Emperor's Paperweight looks good? Put it side by side with any Forgeworld IG vehicle. Cry.

- Chaos Space Marines: Yep, as others have said, the aging CSM infantry sticks out like a sore thumb when paired with more recent models like Helbrutes, 'Fiends and even Cultists.

Oddly enough, Kharn is one of my favorite GW sculpts ever. For a mid-90's miniature, he looks seriously badass with dat veiny bare arm screaming out loud "hey, I'm so roided up I barely fit in my armor - besides I have the Blood God's favor, so screw armor anyways". I concede, however, that the crotch skull is a little bit dumb.

Correction, then: Absolutely flawless.

Out of curiosity why Ghaz and the orks? They're almost 15 years old but have held up well

Daemonettes of Slaanesh. Ugly models are ugly.

Bloodletters of Khorne. Silly models are silly.

The entire IG line (Catachans, Cadians, Rough Riders, Mordians, Tallarn, Steel Legion). Old models are old.

1. Sisters of Battle Dialogus. Let the nightmares end.
2. Old One Eye. I keep wanting to put him down, but I know that won't do any good...
3. Sisters of Battle. These ladies need updating to modern scale.

The SM Dread, get rid of the angry washing machine and make the Contemptor the standard design!

HEY! I'll take my washing machine over your walking bathtub any day of the week!

Seriously though, yeah you're kind of right about the SM dreads. WHile I like the angular "blockiness" of them (they actually look like they could take a serious pounding), I hate the legs. The only way for that body to walk on those legs would be for it wo kind of waddle. Like a duck. Which makes me giggle like a little kid every time I move mine. So that needs fixed! lol

The other two I'd like would be the CSM box and the CSM Terminators. They are both older kits and I'd especially like for the terminators to get the loyalist treatment where I can buy one box for my "tactial" CSM terminators and another that has all the CC options. As it is I actually had to buy a loyalist terminator box and do some heavy conversion in order to get my Khorne marked twin lightning claw terminators.

No, that's Assholetep.

1. Chaos Space Marines. Just ditch the separate Berzerker box altogether and throw 10 Khorne heads into the regular CSM box to call it a day. As long as they come with both the BP/CCW and Bolters, it'll be fine.

2. Cadians. They are pretty hideous. Catachans are hideous too but we should have regular Guardsmen that don't look like ass.

3. Warp Spiders. Not sure how one of the most popular Eldar units failed to get an update in that release...


I can't really pick on any of the Special Characters because pretty much all of them need an update.

Eldar Warp Spiders
Eldar Jetbikes
Cadians - an updated plastic version of the old metal Cadians would look a lot better, for example

Abbadon, Ork Buggies and Warp Spiders.

Dante
Mephiston
Ragnar

In fact all models that have been around since 2nd edition

I second this...especially Ragnar. Not a fan of the Wolves personally, but a character like that with a model like that my heart goes out to the SW players....

Oh, and Kharn needs a new model. Also in the same category of "Great character/Lousy model"....

Mad Dok Grotsnik, never liked the model just doesn't look right at all.
Warbuggies
Kharn as well as Abbadon.

Honestly GW needs to go back a give a good look at their special character sculpts, some are due for an update and have not stood the test of time to well.

Warbuggies
Deffkoptas (Just bring back the Assault on Blackreach ones?)
Sisters of Battle
