The Gothic Horror range so I can get the last ones I need relatively easily.

The C18 Night Horrors, or at least the ones that cost a fortune if you can find them.

I'll see your Citadel Dredd figures and raise you the Paranoia range.

And the absolute antithesis of Age of Sigmar in the C46 Villagers range.

Or in other words let me have 2015's cash in 1987 and a visit to the Arndale Centre GW

**TheAuldGrump**

Chaos Lavatory!

The Auld Grump

**the_Armyman**

The Skullz AdMech minis just to chap HBMC's ass

On a more serious note, pretty much the entire Specialist Games range, 3rd Edition stormies, Kasrkin, the Black Library dioramas (specifically Silas Hand and Ephrael Stern), metal Techmarines prior to Finecast conversion... pretty much just bring back all the metals that got the Finecast treatment tbh.

The Auld Grump

I've got one of those, sadly missing its cistern/head.

I'd like to see the old Elric line, the Juan Diaz metal Daemons and the old 3rd edition Champions of Chaos.

**jah-joshua**

the Diaz Daemonettes would be my only vote...

i think that most modern versions of the range are an improvement, but the plastic Daemonettes are a huge step back:(...

i would also be for rewinding the clock, and making Finecast never have happened...

cheers

Another vote for BFG here. While there's a decent range of stand-ins for most of the main faction ships, it can still be difficult to quickly build up a full fleet (particularly for the various Eldar flavors).

**zedmeister**

Epic, BFG and the kev Adams 1992 gobbos. Love those loons!

**Llamahead**

Glad to see so many votes for Epic.
http://www.microworldgames.com/
http://www.troublemakergames.co.uk/
http://www.onslaughtmini.com/
All make more modern alternatives.

I'm going to vote for Epic and the Rackham Confrontation line myself. I'll also add the Perry late nineties Brettonian Range especially the Foot Squires.

Escher Gang

Original Plastic Tryanid warriors

All original Necro Gangs, Mordhiem. And I know it's too much to ask for Man o war ships.

**lord_blackfang**

Pretty much all the Specialist Games stuff.

Nothing old for 40k/WHFB that got replaced by newer models. I don't suffer from nostalgia. Newer is better.

Exception that proves the rule: Obliterators.

**BeAfraid**

From Citadel/GW/FW:

• The Original, 1984/85 Night Goblins. In fact, ALL of the Goblins/Orcs from the 1983 - 85 period
• The Original Space Marines
• Kev Adams' Nazi Space Orks
• The Epic stuff, including the Epic Tau
• The Aeronautical Imperialis stuff (As I need more Valkyries for my Striker/Striker II Mid-Tech Division)

From Ral Partha:

• The Rest of the Chaos Wars lines (which they are in the process of doing, slowly).

From Asgard:

• Bryan Ansell's Goblins/Orcs (although I think someone has these)
• The Powered Armor from the same line - I think they had both 15mm and 25mm - this was the Pre-Laserburn Genesis of the WH40K Universe

From Chronicle:

• Their Goblins, Orcs, and Ogres (damn those were big figures for their day).

Epic.

This right here, along with Warmaster. I got into a buying spree for Warmaster armies before I found out they were being discontinued, and built up my demon, chaos, and Lizardman armies to go with my elves. Not a month later, everything went out of print, and I couldn't make the dark elf army I wanted to.

**Jehan-reznor**

Thrud the Barbarian of course!

The original metal marines there were some quirky models there.

And everything BFG

**Talys**

OMG. I <3 Thrud. White Dwarf used to be about D&D supplements and Thrud

**Apower101**

Mostly lotr stuff (pls in metal: not bloody finecast):
ruffians
thorongil (unreleased)
gimli and legolas on horseback
breaking of the fellowship
defenders of rohan
hobbit shirriffs
gandalf the grey on horseback

mostly ruffians though

**Delicate Swarm**

I'd have to agree with a lot of these. Especially the Specialist Games.

I may be alone on this one, but I much prefered the old Treeman to the new one. Looks more like a proper treant to me.

**insaniak**

Anything Necromunda or Bloodbowl.

Dreamforge Leviathans.

**BrookM**

The Mordheim and Necromunda range.

**Lord Corellia**

Another vote for Kasrkin here. As well as 6th Edition Landsnecht Empire troops. Loved the look of those!

**snurl**

Mordheim, all of it.

Citadel AD&D line.

6th Edition plastic Empire Infantry kit.

The original Citadel LOTR line from the late '80-early '90s.

**nareik**

I'd love to have one of the old plastic ork battlewagons!

**Gitkikka**

The Grenadier skeleton boxed sets - I missed out on getting the rhino, sadly.

And, of course, Diaz daemonettes.

**H.B.M.C.**

Love to see the Necromunda range come back.

Get away from my ass... wait...

**Da Boss**

Oh, man, there's a lot.

Battlefleet Gothic.
Most of the OOP LOTR range!
The Great Weapon wielding Beastlord.
The Mordheim range.

**korbenn**

Reapers line of Doom miniatures. (I only manage to get a Mancubus and that was when they where long discontinued.)
Confrontations Wolfen line aspecialy the Vestals. The unpainted metal lines.

**Easy E**

Specialist Games from GW and FW would be nice. That includes Man-o-War and Aeronautica Imperialis.

The old Chaos Renegades from the 80's

Squats and Ork Raiders box

**Buttery Commissar**

I would like to see the rest of the metal Imperial guard returned (Praetorians, Mordies, Vostroyans, etc), because as it stands, all of the available boxes are essentially decorative collectors sets. You can't field them without either raiding eBay or buying into the two big Cs for support.

Not quite the same, but have a look at what Kev is currently doing.. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/650846.page

**Undead_Love-Machine**

Where do I start?

Forge World Coaching Inn

Femme Militant range

Rackham Goblins & Mid Nor Dwarves

Ilyad Howling Peak Barbarians

Late '80's Citadel Dwarfs

Every model featured in the Mike Mcvey Advanced Heroquest Diorama

And every OOP model sculpted by JAG or Allan C.

I bought literally the last one of those they put out before pulling the mould... It was retired for very good reason, sadly. Out of about seven floors they provided us with, none of them fitted together straight. In the end they admitted to not having any more to send to us. At worst it just rocked precariously back and forth, and at best it had a half inch gap at one end.
As it was just three massive shoebox sized pieces of resin, the only way to even attempt to straighten it was to plunge it into a washing up bowl of boiled water. Even then it wasn't enough to permeate the inch thick walls in places.

Much as I'd like to see it return, the entire thing badly needs planning again from the ground up.

On the plus side, if I very much wanted to, I could make a skyscraper (that would blow down if someone farted in an adjoining room).

**davethepak**

all the forgeworld kroot.

All they need is good rules, and they will sell.
