I want more Tau drones that can be purchased alone. Right now we only have the tactical drones (Gun, Shield, Marker). I would love to see most of the drones as separate data sheets, as well as a new "heavy support drone" of some sort. A nice, mobile gun platform. Maybe the Remora drone from FW can do this, but we will have to see the Index first.

Pariahs. Necrons now have very few ways to mitigate melee-focused armies, and we need psyker defense. Our existing melee units should be decent against things like Assault Marines and Kroot, but we need something to help us deal with Tyranids, Khorne Berserkers, and other dedicated melee units. I could see Pariahs filling that niche as well as giving us some needed psychic defense.

Not only that but they were interesting fluff wise, a cool concept. So i'd be happy to see them return.

Vect and Kheradruakh back for the Dark Eldar
Them, and the ability to take reaver jetbikes and scourge wings on archons and succubi.

I want Sylandri Veilwalker to get rules and a model.

That would be sweet!

New harlequin units would be nice too. Maybe something to deal with hordes, maybe players with two pistols each (since 8th allows that).
And I'd love some leadership-based attacks back.

Trimivirate of the laughing god?

For my Sisters of Battle

Plastic models!!!
Large Super-heavy Command Tank / Shrine - so a Baneblade size Exorcist in appearance.
Flyer - Something like the Aquilla
More named Sisters characters - use the fluff in Shield of Baal and get making.
Hospitliar field hospital would be cool

Tau
Heavy Tanks - I hate all their suit models.

Raven Guard
Sniper/ infiltration teams that are not Scouts

Guard
Plastic non Cadian models

Genestealer and Chaos Cults
Some female cultists

yeah like a 30k style headhunter team.

How about a Cultist Saboteur unit? Wrecking havoc by disrupting Imperial supply lines or assassinating key Imperial officials.

4-Man squad
Infiltrate
Take Demo-charges or Sniper Rifles

At the beginning of move phase, may spend their whole turn to go back into deployment.

Some Ynnari-specific units. One or two would be enough, but I think they feel a bit thematically anhemic with only 3 characters and mix-and-match whatever.
If they want the Ynnari to stick as main players in the new background they need to start building their own identity.

A sisters subcommander for patrol detachments or secondary HQ entries. Even just rules for one and a box of plastic sisters I can modify would be great.

I would second this for all armies. A CSM Lord and an SM lieutenant would be nice. I've always thought it was strange that every mission sending 2 tactical squads also needed to send the captain that they have exactly 10 of. And no, Primaris Lieutenants don't count. Maybe, move honor guard/ company veterans to the HQ slot? I think the same should be true for IG but then everyone would never take real company commanders.

For my Talons of the Emperor, a Tribune to act as a HQ choice for Custodes, and a Knight-Centura option for Sisters of Sister.

That would allow the armies to actually work with the new 8th ed. detachment charts.

Rather than new units, why not fix old model ranges so half of Eldar isn't stuck in Finecast, Orks aren't using Gorkamorka Warbuggies, and assorted units have purpose for existing?

They're called Palantines, if I remember correctly.

I just had a great idea for Tau.

Exalted for truth. Around three quarters of the range (and all the Troops...and all the non-Flyer vehicles...) are at least ten years old, and in dire need of fixing.

Now that you mention it the Ork lineup could use a bit of a touch up. Wartrakks and buggies especially. However we're not in desperate a need in model updates as some other factions.

Mega armor warboss on a warbike.

Someday.........

I'd probably settle for a normal mega armor warboss, or an updated ghaz kit, or hell, how about a warboss you can actually purchase in a store and not off of ebay.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
And as much as I detest the twiggies, I have to admit that almost their entire aspect warrior range desperately needs updating.

Nids:

I want a real Knight equivalent. Dominatrix?

I want the rumored plastic Vore kit that can make pyrovores/biovores/new psychic-vores

I would love for the tyranid Prime to have a wings upgrade option to turn it into a shriek prime, or a ravenor upgrade to make a ravenor prime. I feel like the Tyranid Prime should be our go to HQ because of it's customization and flexibility. Right now it's finally good but only kind of because it really only works with warriors.

Cataphractii, tatsros, and contemptor deathwing units.

Imperial Guard:

I would kill to have new basic infantry kits and a few heroes. From my way of thinking they need to make 4 kits and could sell the entire IG range multiple times over:

1) New basic infantry kit, alternative build with veterans
2) New heavy weapons kit (Multiple options like current kit has)
3) New command squad kit, with company commander options
4) Vehicle upgrade sprue featuring crew and a few "bling" details you can stick on tanks

Think about it; they can do this for multiple regiments: Want Valhallans? Here's 4 new kits, start a new army! Want Elysians? Here's 4 new kits, start a whole army! Need Vostroyans? You get the idea...

I mean, it's a way to sell new kits AND the rest of your range of vehicles to new players. Seems a no-brainer.

From a design perspective, its a lot more interesting if every faction doesn't have an exact parallel to each other faction's units IMO. What if we gave Norn Queens rules so Nids had an option that was bigger than IKs but smaller than proper Titans?

More diversity in mono chaos god armies. Maybe its asking too much but an elite infantry and a gargantuan daemon for each god.

Lines in most desperate need are sisters, chaos, and eldar. After that probably orks and guard. Then everyone else

I am not talking about physical size. Hierodules accomplish that. I am also not talking about direct weapon or rule options. I am saying nids need a very large, customizable, powerhouse. It should be very distinctly nid. But it needs 20+ wounds (we have nothing like that now) while everyone else is packing something big and nasty (stormsurge, stompas, knights, monolith). The hierodules are big, roably will be tough, but also underequiped if they are anything like their 7th ed counterparts.

Catachan Chopper. Armed with twin Assault Cannon, various rockets and pintle mounted heavy stubber for the crew.

Also Catachan Chopper Deluxe Box. Contents include:
-Mini-Campaign Guide: Get to the Chopper!
-Catachan Chopper
-a couple of Catachan Veterans (one resembling a former Governator in his prime), female captive and a stealthy Alien.

Going Race by Race:

Orks: Boar Boys, Looted wagon

Necron: Pariahs

Sisters: Plastic everything

Tau/Kroot: Kroot HQ, Knarlocks, and some more vespid units. Demiurge

Dark Eldar: VECT baby!!! Jetbike and/or hellion board option for HQ's

Custodes: Port over the rules for the Forgeworld 30k units. We need a shooty unit. All of the FW units are dead sexy.

Admech: Transports please?

Did you mean... like this?

I really miss Vect and his party boat. I'd love to see a newer, bigger, crazier version of that.

The Catachan Chopper mentioned earlier is also an excellent idea. Remake the Catachans, and don't fix the scale issues. I want Primaris Catachans with two wounds each and a heavy bolter in each hand.

Someone that loves Harlequins I would like them to expand on their line.
There is a lot of options.

1. harlequin mines. They would have deep strike rule and bonus in cover.

2. harlequin gunslingers just like troops, but with 2 pistols.

3. mele only lesser death jesters armed with scythes.

4. something like a dreadnought but with a solitaire's soul.

Give me Sonic Dreads! I don't know what EC could have for Elites but I would love to be able to have like some sort of Sonic Pistol or Sniper (Yes this existed, it was FFG only and more for humans but still!)

Or at the least that Chaos Lords can take the Doom Siren. I'd be happy with that option too.
