New plastic Chaos Marines that more closely match the Dark Vengeance aesthetic as well as new plastic Guardsmen. The Guard can be in new regiments or plastic versions of old metal ones, I'm happy either way.

I would also like some new daemons, CSM havocs and such, new guard, some of the tyranids and orks

Eldar
Dual plastic kits for the aspect warriors. IE swooping hawks/howling banshee, fire dragons/ striking scorpions, dark reapers/warp spiders
New jetbikes would be nice but I like the simplicity and conversion potential of the current ones.
resculpts for some of the phoenix lords, Karandras is a little short these days, even with his giant hat, also Jain Zar uuugh.

Orks
buggies - when a russian toy is getting used on the table more often than the actual model, well time to update.
defkoptas - seriously the black reach ones were amazing, bring them back.

Tau
redo sniper drones. A plastic blister with 1 spotter and bits to upgrade 3 drones.

Sisters
poor sisters they need resculpts and plastic for everything, sadly I dont see any R&D being spent on the ladies under current GW.

For the new BA stuff... I don't care if the whole book is "nerfed" I just want Dante to get a slight boost and Eternal Warrior, possibly even a new model.

I also definitely want a new Mephiston model (never used him in a game because the old model is too ugly).

As a GK player I would like to see a few new models for GKs so I'm not stuck running termies and dreadknights all the time. Would be nice to have another option or two seeing as they did nothing but take units away during our "release."

As for the rest of the armies, I'd have to agree that sisters need some love and I'd love to see eldar aspect warriors get some updated models.

What's the issue with the Eldar Jetbikes?

Ragnar Blackmane. I don't think I need to explain.

I dont play guard, but the guardsmen need to have faces that dont look like a lumpy potato. Also Jetbikes would be nice that dont look horrible.

Mostly the rider's absurd helmet and even more absurd leather biker jacket. It was a different time.

Personally I don't see anything wrong with it.

Excluding Sisters for the simply fact that they really need a 5th ed Dark Eldar style re-boot from the ground up, Chaos is easily the most lackluster & craptastic model line currently...

Honestly, Chaos ideally should have 3 wave releases next year to bring them up in line with pretty much everyone else bar sisters. Currently they only have 3 'solid' plastic kist outside of their vehicles - the Termie Lord, Possessed & Raptors/Warp Talons combi-kit. All the other kits are either ancient, finecrap and/or missing upgrade options...

Chaos Space Marine kit:
- power axe, power maul, combi-flamer, combi-meltagun, combi-plasma gun, combi-bolter, missile launcher, autocannon, lascannon all missing entirely.
- only 8x sets of Bolter or pistol/ccw, meaning you *must* build specialist models out of the 10 man kit.

Termies:
- combi-plasma, power sword, power lance, lightning claws all missing from the kit.
- only 1 each of combi-flamer, combi-melta, power maul, chainfist.
- only 2 each of power axe, power fist.
It's utterly impossible to make a viable squad with this stupid kit! I mean for sake, if you wanted say a 3 man 'Termicide' unit of 3x combi-meltaguns, you need to buy 3 bloody kits!
Chaos Termies should be redone and given a kit similar at least in bitz to what the SW or DA kits have, though ideally, more akin to the GK Termie kit.

Berserkers:
- only 6 Chainaxes per box. Other 6 dudes are left with the chainsword, meaning that again, you can't even upgrade the squad properly with it's most basic options.
- No champion upgrades at all beyond a Plasma pistol. Not even a freaking Power toy!

Then you have the likes of the Cult Troops which are all either upgrade or 100% Finecrap kits, Havocs who only come with 1 of each weapon meaning that yet again, you can't build any kind of viable squad out of the box...


Really, GW could easily 'fix' the poor CSM lines quite easily within a 12 month period;

Wave 1;
- new Chaos Marine kit, including 1x each special weapon + 1x Missile launcher + 1x Heavy Flamer + 1x combi-weapon ala Tac Marine kit + 1x Power sword + 1x Power axe + 1x Power fist. Also include 16 heads, (10 helmeted, 2 'generic' bare, 4 'marked'), 4 'marked' shoulder pads.

- new Havoc kit, including 2x Lascannon + 2x Autocannon + 2x Heavy bolter +1x Missile launcher + 1 each special weapon. Champion bitz could include a Power maul + fist + combi-weapon options.

- new Noise Marine kit.

Wave 2;
- new Chosen kit with options similar to the Sternguard kit, such as 2 of each combi-weapon, a pair of heavy weapons, a couple champion weapon options.

- new Termie kit with at least 2 of each combi-weapon option, 2 or 3 pairs of lightning claws, 3-4 of both power axe/maul, 3 power fists, plus 1 of each heavy weapon option.

- new Thousand Sons kit.

Wave 3;
- new Plague Marine kit

- new Berserker kit with enough Chainaxes for each marine.


Boom. CSM line no longer sucks giant monkey balls...

A Tau superheavy skimmer that people are actually afraid of. Boom.

The two Tau Mainstays, Fire Warriors and Crisis Suits.

Fire Warriors aren't ugly per say, but the rest of the model rane have moved away from the "Let's make it blocky and shapy and call it sci-fi"-approach, and so it doesn't fit the rest of the line. They don't seem high-tech, as there's no technology to see, just shapes and edges. There's no culture to them, either - No ceremonial sword, pouches and grenades, sidearms or pieces of cloth showing, and the way they stand I often forget that they are hooved - Why don't show that in their poses more? The Pulse weapons need work, especially - Less "Fiddly long thing with a ball at the end" and more "Plasma Sniper, please. Maybe make a electro-magnet-part like on Plasma weapons that we can make a glow effect with? As extra spice, a female head would be great, alongside some less blocky male face/s - No different bodies are needed, their armour are rather bulky already, so that doesn't matter.

If you'd make them less like this:


And more like this (I KNOW IT'S A PATHFINDER, SHUT IT):


Crisis Suits are the same problem, really - They are too much shapes and too little technology. They need some culture too (Not just markings - Banners or jewelry hanging of them, ceremonial knifes, extra equipment, that ilk) and some movement (Loose fingers like on the commander model to be on a Shas'vre, arms looking like they are weapon arms and not just arms with weapons attached to them), and, of course, weapons that weren't made in a 3D maker in half an hour that LOOKS like weapons. Seriously, a Plasma Rifle with no Plasma bits? I'd be making some concept art for my ideas if I weren't sitting in a café.

Less like this:


And more like this (I KNOW IT'S A HAZARD SUIT, SHUT IT):


Look at that fething smug Tau's face. That's because his ride looks awesome.

/rant off.

I know a lot of people would groan at it... But I'd like to see a classic redone... That being, 2nd/3rd Edition Cadians. Back when they were still blatantly ripped off from the Colonial Marines from Aliens. There's no denying the armor was frickin' sweet, even on the old sculpts. Check it!

Old Cadians...


Colonial Marines


Despite how much of a mess the new game was, there's no denying anything attempting to copy the look of the Colonial Marines is inherently awesome. Therefore, gimme some moar of those 2e Cadians!

But yeah sisters of battle. full range. Dialogus the most imo with it's claymation face.

I was also surprised it took that long.

I was thinking of checking the GW site to see if they released plastic Sisters of Battle kits within the past month that I've been playing World of Warcraft, because I figured there must've been something like that for no one to mention Sisters.

Failing Sisters, I'd go with co-ed IG models sculpted by people who can actually sculpt female faces and bodies. But then GW would have to hire someone new...

I second the old Cadians, and a model of Hicks in that pose as a commander.

But my personal likes would be
1. Plastic Steel Legion command set.
2. Plastic Salamander scout vehicle.
3. Plastic Kasrkin (Scion don't cut it for me)
4. Griffons
5. Lord Solar Macharius, his model was great, he just needs to be released again.
6. Plastic Aspect Warriors with all the different Exarch load outs (This is a big one that needs to happen!)
7. Plastic Tank Busters
8. Ork looted tanks, don't like running my Leman as a Battle Wagon, the gun is weaker...
9. Tau Drone variety pack, sheild, marker light ect...
10. More multi-part commander sets for all armies like the Space Marine Captain and the Chaos lord sets.

For CSM: I would like to see updates for Forgefiends and Obliterators. After having these monopose models around for a few years, there's not much very interesting about them anymore.
