**Flashman**

Plastic Gutter Runners (assuming Skaven are surviving the big summer cull) so I can use them for Mordheim.

**Drk_Oblitr8r**

More plastic models where their crazy cool hair is a separate piece. Like the Dark Elf Fleetmaster. Or maybe just crazy plastic hair bits.

**heartserenade**

Plastic generic peasants (armed or not), both for fantasy and historical games. I want to make a unit of peasants armed with only farm implements and what their grubby hands could reach, but sadly most of them come in metal.

Another idea that's been on my lsit for a while, plastic Fantasy Heroes

I'm thinking of a very flexible plastic kit for making classic RPG type characters, you'd probably need on kit for man and another for women.

Following the lead of the WGF survivors they could 10 bodies + arms, say:

Heavy armored body (fighter)
Medium armored body (fighter)
Armor with talbard/robe (paladin, cleric)
Leather armor body (theif, ranger)
Cloak/leather (theif/assassin)
Furs (druid, barbarian)
Bare chest (barbarian)
Robe (cleric, mage, cultist)
Fancy clothes (bard)
???

Then a bunch of arms and seperate hands with weapons. Thrown in a good range of heads (bare, helmets, hats) and you can quickly fill out a party or a bunch of NPCs, especially if there's a selection of 'evil' heads to go with the heroic ones.

Then do a kit for wimms, then maybe elfs, and a dwarf/halfling/gnome one.

I wouldn't actually say no to this as well. PLASTIC PCs FOR D&D GAMES PLEASE.

Seriously, the nearest thing I could find is the starter sets of LotR (Escape from Goblin Town and Mines of Moria), and they're not exactly very diverse. In fact, they're the opposite of diverse in terms of an adventuring party.

Have you seen the Dark Age Warrior set from Gripping Beast Heartserenade?

They're in really basic dark ages attire, if you take away the shields I think they make pretty good peasants for any dark age to medieval period. You could probably also do some minor conversions to give them farm implements (I have loads of the old GW skeleton and zombie weapons, pitch-forks and scythes etc. which would be ideal)

Spoiler:

**heartserenade**

Yeah i've seen and considered them but the poses are more "warrior-y" than "peasant-y" in my opinion. They look a tad bit weird without the shields as well. I was thinking along the lines of these:

Wouldn't hurt to have plastic womenfolk, children and religious folk as well. Let's say kinda like the Zombie survivor sprue by Wargames Factory, only medieval peasants!

**master of ordinance**

New Sister's of Battle, along with a Codex update that brings them back to competitive standards. Preferably plastic multipose kits as well.

Gutter/Night Runners plastic kit. One that looks better than the new one.

Battle Fleet Gothic

Mordheim

Necromunda

Man O'War

Female IG infantry

Generic civilians.

Less Citadel Terrain

Thanks mate, I have noticed TTGotG and I was thinking of using some of them for my IG

I'd like some decently armored, dressed, and overall more civilized Gnolls, Ratfolk and lizardfolk miniatures, preferably with
options for both male and female troops (not sure how thats gonna work TBH), commanders, heroes etc, and a variety of weapon
options. It doesn't have to be a hard plastic kit of anything, I'd be fine with good quality polyurethane resin.

Bonus points if the resin kit is multi-part with extra heads and accessory items (even if sold separately) and is capable of being
built into both individual characters for skirmish games and rank and file for mass-battle games.

I really just want something that breaks away from the evil BEASTman savages routine thats become so common since various older
mini and RPG companies established it, even if it seriously (and riskily) breaks away form the traditional interpretation of these races.
You never know it could work, at the very least it creates a bit more variety and offers more choices for everyone.

Oh and some not-Burmecian minis would be nice, if anything they have become my gold standard of what a civilized race of rat
people could look like, would love to make an army of them.

Guess I better get to making these kits eh?, I don't think anyone else is going to do it.

Well I think we can cover that for you....

They are not fantasy based Gnolls and are a little different from the normal two legged Gnolls, but they are much more advanced

, we aim for Veil Fall to be a break away from the typical race stereotypes and try something more unique and different!.

**Shadow Captain Edithae**

A proper Halo miniature wargame, not that Heroclix crap. Give me a massive sci fi battlefield of UNSC vs Covenant vs Flood vs Prometheans.

Its a very rich universe, perfect for a wide range of multi faceted factions.

For Humanity. you have the UNSC, Colonies, and Separatists; and even ancient Humanity from the Human - Forerunner War.

Covenant - The classic Covenant faction led by the Prophets, the Arbiters splinter faction, the Heretics (Halo 2), the Storm Covenant, the independent Brute faction (post Halo 3).

Flood - ancient flood (vs ancient Humans and Forerunner).

Forerunners - ancient Forerunners, present time Promethians led by the Didact, and any potential Forerunner survivors still out there (IIRC theres a possibility the Librarian is still alive).

And theres a remote possibility of a fifth race returning - the Precursors (the Creators of Humanity and the Forerunner).

I think Victoria Lamb's Archadians mix in better with GW's stuff.

But agreed.

The WGF Red Army set has 4 women among the 30 or so men.
