As the title says, if you could add one upgrade sprue for army or codex, what would you have GW make?

For example, I really wish there was an official GW Lascannon/Twin-linked Plasmagun turret for the Razorback. I know Forgeworld makes one, but it is a little price prohibitive. Also, I would rather it was in plastic. I would take an upgrade sprue that had the LC/TLPG turret and one of the other options.

One of the other models that I wish they would release an upgrade sprue for is the Dreadnought. The base Dreadnought in the rules has a Multimelta, but the model doesn't include one. Would also like to see dual TL Autocannons for the Rifleman Dreadnought.

Man, All SoB player understand what you fell. We not not have any Celestian and/or Dominion any more and need to proxy regular girls for it. In addition, any single equipment upgrade for Veteran must be proxy….. :-(

A new Wave Serpent turret (I know many of those reading this will be foaming at the mouth at an Eldar player complaining about anything), because the one in the box looks like a Tau bit, and while the Forge World ones look awesome, as you said they are expensive. It would be nice to have a curvy, sexy one that fits the rest of the kit.

Onager Dunecrawler full weapon kit. Basically, enough parts to make all the 4 turret weapons that are in the Onager Dunecrawler kit so that we could just exchange them freely.

I've magnetised the weapon itself, which makes it so I can make 3 of them and bought bits for the last one. But the optimal solution would be to have 4 of the circular part that holds the weapon onto the frame.

What are you talking about? We never had any specific models for Celestians or Dominions.

*blinks*

Clearly I need to pay more attention. When did the original standard razorback turret go away??

I imagine with the more recent kit. The most recent one has TL Heavy Bolters and TL Lascannons as options.

Dominion you are right how ever we used to have Celestians. You may found some on Ebay or collectioners website.

- AdMech: No need for extras right now.
- Inquisition: Proper kits more than upgrades - Customizable Inquisitor and perhaps an upgrade sprue to make henchmen out of IG Cadians.
- Dark Angels: We didn't quite need the new sprues, but whatever.
- Orks: Looted Wagon bits!

Dinosaur mounts instead of Eldar Jetbikes. Something that uses the Guardians and Cold Ones or something.

Chaos could use some simpler armor. Something not quite Loyalist but not as octet everywhere. Not every warband needs sigils.

I'm actually very happy with the new Ultramarine stuff coming out. Makes fluffy companies really viable in terms of appearances.

When? I never heard of them, I am playing since 3rd edition, and I have the second edition codex.

Duke Sluscus. Optimally some kind of multikit that could make some form of 'arena champion' you could build as a foot HQ, or one on a bike or Skyboard. Even a generic Sliscus analog would be better than my model going to waste.

I definitely agree with this. Not all Chaos Warbands are Spiky Marines. I would think Marines like the Night Lords(who are more of an extreme Renegade Space Marine Legion rather than a Chaos Legion) and the Alpha Legion would be more likely to appear like their Loyalist Brethren, but be using older Marks of weapons and armor.

Deathwatch: Judging from the size of the UM frame, a 10 man squad might be too much to ask for. But 5 shoulders, bolters, a few heads and accessories would be nice.

LotD: No need for finecast, just some skull/flame bits to splash onto a tac squad.

Tyranic War Vets: Shoulders, scared heads, weapons and trophies

I’d say the missing dread arms and razor turrets, but I think that would be a little much for a clam pack. Probably require a re-cut of the base kits.

Relic Packs might be fun. There are not that many per codex, could probably fit them in. Burning blade, shield eternal, fancy armor, teeth of terra, etc. Not sure if every codex could fit them onto one frame, but it could be nice.

The finecast UG kits for eldar. Shining spears, storm guardians.

Imperial Knights: A sprue that just has all the new weapons.
Grey Knights: More hammers/psycannons.

I'd greatly prefer a CSM Havoc upgrade sprue (or better yet a dedicated box) to the Havoc squad they sell now, which a non-starter for me because of Failcast.

Devestator boxes are an OK substitute, but really only come with 3 types of heavy weapons that you can legally use.

For Tau, either an upgrade sprue for Firewarriors to carry Ion Rifles and Rail Rifles or an upgrade sprue to give Firewarriors Jet Packs. Ideally both on the same sprue.

Also, more weapons for the Stealth Teams, including dual weapon options.

Khorne Berzerkers and Plague Marines, mostly the Berzerkers

SM - Sprue to upgrade a standard biker to a captain, librarian, chaplain, or techmarine.

Every codex should have a generic upgrade sprue, with special/heavy weapons, melee weapons, pistols, and extra bits.

Like there should be a Space Marine upgrade sprue.

It should have 3 of every special weapon, 1 of every heavy weapon, 2 of each melee weapon, special helmets, grenades, ammo pouches, etc...

I'd just recast the crisis suits because they look like butt.

Also fire warriors with rail/ion rifles would be nice.

The Tank Accesories Sprue. Bring it back I say!!

+lots for ork looted vehicle 'bitz', wheels or various sorts, gun mounts and weapons, plus arms for the boyz (similar to the FW ones) with a range of various other smaller parts to customise other kits - once GW have this its possible to have a 'kit' e.g. a looted rhino, looted chimera etc, then they can go back into the main book.

This. Also an extra body sprue for the Talos/Cronos would be lovely. Haywire Blasters/Heat Lances for Scourges

I'd just like to see a more modular and interesting multi-part plastic Scouts kit for SM. And ... the same for basically everything in the entire game barring PA marines.

I would release an upgrade pack to upgrade necron warriors to flayed ones. The kit would contain the flayer claws and a multitude of skincoat wear. These would be in the regular GW plastic and has enough options for 12 flayed ones.

Proper chaos Havocs and Chosen Please. Majority of other stuff holds up.

For AM I'd like to see more plasma and melta guns in each set of guardsmen it would make assembling vet squads much easier. And I agree that I'd like to see them make it easier to switch out the main gun on the Leman russ so it's easy to switch the variant with the battle.

IG Veteran Doctrines sprue: camo cloaks, demo charges, heavy flamer, three meltas, three flamers, three plasma guns, assorted gear and pouches, some carapace armor legs, Kasrkin-style helmeted heads, etc.
