Out of curiousity, what models do you think need to be re-released / updated the most?

By this I mean:
a) Older Models that are / were cool at the time but now look quite dated and could do with a redesign or at least improved detail
b) More recent or modern kits that you just hate the look of, and think should be put back n the drawing board


For me that list is, in order of priority:

(a)
1)Ragnar Blackmane, old metal wolf guard...pretty much all the SW IC's made suring 2nd edition. They are blatantly ancient.
2) Eldar Jetbike
3)Space marine bike and attack bike

(b)
1) Logan Grimnar on Stormrider
2) Centurions. Words can't express how ugly I think this kit is
3) EDIT: Space Wolf Flyers

I won't include my list of metal models that should be resculpted in plastic, it's too long, but feel free to do so yourself.

Sisters of battle

Sisters, Inquisition, and half of the Eldar, to bring them up to par with Dark Eldar models :X

Agree with you that SM Bike Squad needs an update, but not a huge one.

Sisters, most of the Eldar, and I'd love to see more plastic Cult Marines.

Really though. For me (even though I would hate to paint that many again) it be Cadian Shock troops. I can't say that I'm in the same boat as those that loathes them with passion, but when you compare them to the rest of the human models, especially FW, they become hard to take seriously. Their bulk almost matches the space marines and the helmetless sergeant, whose head manages to still be BIGGER than those with a helmet, is simply put, a joke.
For the metal range; I would love to see the greater daemons being remade. The FW models are way to big and the End of Times Nurgle models really showed that GW still are capable of making awesome chaos models.

* sisters

* eldar jet bike

* drop pods, just plain boring and the kit needs revised.

* agree with the OP centurions are the single most ugly piece of plasic I have ever seen. I would just take them out full stop, no revision of the model. Let's just forget them like a bad dream!

Chaos Space Marines, i love the look of the Dark Vengeance models and other newer kits but the basic Marines really let the army down now.

Have to disagree with the OP on Centurions think they are nice models but then i have never liked Terminators, they are what i think Terminators should be.

Also love the new Logan Grimnar, think he looks like an awesome reference to Thor(the god) not rubbish Marvel Thor.

Tyranids. Pretty much the whole 'larger than a Warrior' line. Hunchbacked, bloated, diseased with chimneys... I miss the Dino-bugs of 3rd and specifically the FW Tyrant. That beast was amazing...

While I don't think many of the nid models look bad as such (some I think look quite good), I agree they suffer from being a bit "samey." It's almost as though the design department took some of the concept sketches that made the shortlist for one unit and decided to release it as something else. As a non-nid player I have difficulty differentiating some of the newer tyranid MCs and their battlefield roles.

Sisters

Exalt. /Thread

Pretty much has to be the Sisters.

It's a wrap!

Sisters - Need to be in plastic

Crypteks - Need to be in plastic. I've seen more Lychguard models converted into Cryoteks than actual Crypteks. I'm using converted Pariahs myself.

Basic Chaos space marine and the Khorn berzekers. The csm look more like marauder than space marines corupted by the warp. For the berzekers, since FW did the WE Rampager,, Berzekers look like CSM with fancy helmets.

Sisters of Battle in plastic please

1. Sisters. All of them.
2. Chaos 'zerkers.
3. Chaos troops.
4. Mutilators. Make them look cool this time.
5. Logan Clause. It just came out, but please re-do it.

Runner up for personal bias:
Soul Grinder. I can't stand that thing.

Ork Buggies and Wartrakk.

The Orks using them are not even near the same look besides green skin.

I find the Eldar Jetbike riders helmets goofy looking. The DE bikes are sleek and dangerous; the Eldar one looks like the rider can't look anywhere but forward.

Nobody has mentioned Rough Riders yet?



Seriously...I'm surprised they're even still in the codex, GW doesn't even sell them anymore XD

I don't have much sense my Orks just got their models changed. My Ig are my convert army. Well except for Yarrick my favorites old model.


......but if I had to choose I say the blasted SpaceMarine Scouts! Gah! I feel like they are so limited. Especially when I get them for my black Templar.

Till then I must cut and chop and kit bash them.

I used to use converted old Kislev horsemen for my rough riders. :( I think their rules need updating more than their models.

The Greater Daemons.

Squats...

and zoats

I think the Ork boyz need to have an update. I feel that the poses are old and outdated.

GW's to do list.

Sisters of Battle (Most obvious)
CSM Troops (All of them cult/regular)
Ork Boyz (Really could do with some love)
Kroot / Vespid (Need more dynamic poses)
Grimnar's Space Dwarf Viking Boat Thing (not updated, just removed.)

Mephiston

I already mentioned Sisters, but if they actually turned Sisters into a proper detachment (like Dark Angels, Blood Angels, etc.) -- I would go nuts and buy, like, an entire freaking 3,000 point army one shot >.<

Yes, why is Calistarius (Space Hulk) such an awesome model, and Mephiston such an ugly one?

Now you have me in the mood to paint Calistarius

I agree with you on Ragnar and the SW IC. Also chaos greater daemons and like all of the CSM. They are all old and ugly. I really think any model that is 3rd edition or older needs an update

Space Wolves have been said and so have Sisters.

I vote Valhallan Imperial Guard.

I agree with Sisters and everything, but, RR have been pretty thoroughly neglected both model and rules wise.
