As long as they are one piece or something simple like arms or hands metal is my preferred medium. It allows for more natural poses where the upper body and lower body are in harmony and most aiming or weapon holding stances look more natural than the usual multipart plastics.
Once you get into 3 or more parts though, plastic all the way.

So let's not even try to ask?
I fully agree. Did GW say they will not do Limited Editions? I don't recall that statement at all. I could be wrong, so please correct me if GW has done so. I would love to order that Dark Angel mini. One of the reasons why I never finished my Dark Angel army.
This is actually hilarious. I post some fairly logical supposition and get asked to prove my sources. Guys, I didn't attack anyone, don't get bent out of shape. We're wishlisting metal mandollies for feth's sake.

Don't worry every 3rd poster has asked for them and for Doomrider.
The Doomrider lovers are trolling right? I mean they have to be? Why not ask for the @#$%ing 3rd edition Obliterators too while you're at it.
I actually kinda like those Obliterators, just wish there was more than one sculpt.
There were three of them.
I never put one together, but the bodies were quite usable for my earlier Adeptus Mechanicus (with Techmarine arms and backpack) as battle Magi (something like the Myrmidons FW released later).

Speaking of wishlisting...I asked them to bring back the old 40K scale metal Thunderhawk Gunship!
Oh, and the full range of metal "transition" Marines.

If someone is willing please ask for a old Raptors. You know cool ones that came before clawed feet group. Art for them was done by Clint Langley I think.

You absolute madman. Assembling those was one of my worst hobby experiences.
The old wraiths look 1,000 times better than the new ones.
My personal hell is endlessly having to assemble metal Wraiths, and the metal Warmahordes Angelius model. Either were experiences so horrific they probably stopped me from buying/assembling anything for six months afterwards. :-p

THAT is absolutely untrue. The old Wraiths looked super silly and didn't even look threatening.
Agreed that they were vexing to assemble but it's a shame they didn't do a newer iteration in plastic that improved on them but kept the appearance. The appearance of the old wraiths was amazing and tied in well with the general appearance of the old Terminator theme the Necrons had at the time. The newer versions were more Matrix and combined with some of the naff Tomb King style characters, and total fluff overhaul, killed my collecting interest in the faction at the time. That said I am now getting flashbacks to trying to re-glue one of them about 13-14 years ago and it's not good ...so probably best release something else!
@simonb75: Completely agree on the Brettonian Robin Hood characters...auto purchase if they release them

Has anyone asked for the assault cannon mounts off the old land raider crusader? The sponsors were a nightmare but the assault cannons would be nice for razorback without buying entire crusader upgrade sprues.

I'm going to need to track down the other 2 then.

I still have my interrogator chaplain from Dark Vengeance, new on sprue. I've been meaning to put it up on eBay, but never got round to it. Give me a PM if you're interested Davor.

Well aware you didn't, that's why I wasn't responding to you that time.
Also, I'll gladly be wrong if they do. But it's a speculation thread, so I speculated. Probably more logically than others. But it isn't about 'being right'. My post was more 'curb your enthusiasm' than HAHA NO L.E. SPESS MUHRINEZ FOR YOU. Not here for a pointless netfight.

I've been looking around, they never said anything about WHEN they are planning on this 2nd wave have they? I want to make sure I have money put aside for this incase we get diaz deamonettes. But the new 30k box game is damn tempting. lol
