For my Death Guard...

1. A Heldrake (Plaguedrake). I have no idea why this wasn't included in their codex.

They aren't exactly known for their speedy units.

Ragnar Blackmane has the oldest model in the game (yes, even older than all those outdated Eldar characters from the 90s), despite being one of the most popular SW characters being featured in both novels and video games and even his Great Company insignia being the default one for Space Wolves in all kinds of entertainment . So much for "Imperium always gets new things, all of them", heh. He really needs an update.

For my DKoK:

1) Snipers. How can you have trench warfare without snipers?
2) HQ/officer pack. The one HQ kit we have has a really nice officer model, but with only a single pose you can't really take multiple copies of the unit. Something like the commissar pack with 3-5 different sculpts would do a lot for diversity.
3) New flyer, a light bomber (somewhere around Thunderbolt size) that has an alternate payload of minefields.

Alternatively, if the rules can't be worked out for the third option, a plasma cannon Malcador variant would be nice.

Well since you got those covered I'll throw in my 3 own.

1. A new gorgon heavy transporter. Heck they can just bring back the original for all I care. All I'm saying is I want one but can't find one anywhere and that includes Chinese knock offs.

2. Grenadiers. Again new models or just bring back the old ones.

3.A new mounted commander. The current mounted commander is just a regular troop holding a plasma pistol. They need to have one with a little more flare to him to make him stand out more. Like give him a ridged helmet like the one from the HQ kit with a grenadier style mask and a cape or something.

Ad-mech:
Another HQ, preferably someone to buff skitarii or even revive them
A flyer of some sort. Not that I think we need one but that I wanna see what they come up with
Anything new and creative really

Space Marines:
Any loyalist primarch to take the heat off Guilliman.
Iron Hards named character lol
New Chapter master shrike model

I would be happy with just 1 single kit for Thousand Sons.

A dual dreadnought kit.

1 build would be a Rubric Dreadnought. So it would have "All is Dust" and the TS heavy weapon options.

The other would be a Sorcerer dread.

Sisters:

Something for elites to go with Celestians, and Repentia.

Something to for fast attack, to go with Seraphim and Dominions

Another Generic HQ. Right now there's a cannoness, and...nope, nothing.


IG:
Tank commander upgrades, and not just for leman russ, but also light tanks and artillery.

Rough Riders- super cool, even if not often used.

Rough rider officers/commissars.


Eldar:

plastic warlocks.

Updated plastic aspect warriors

Updated plastic guardians.

Not counting characters...

Tau: krootox, kroot hounds. Maybe refresh kroot themselves.
Eldar: warp spiders, howling banshees, fire dragons
Marines: bikes, dreadnoughts, scouts. Each with all the relevant options
Guard: tallarn X3

Edit. Changed my mind. The Razorback can wait. Give me scouts with heads that aren't terrible.

2. Some sort of giant Nurgle beast. If TS can get a Mutalith why can't we have something nice?

3. I forget the name of it, but that Nurgle Baneblade that was doing the rounds back under 4th/5th ed.

Because you got a ton of nice new kits on your launch while we got repacked AoS stuff. Id rather have gotten death guarded with new units than the goat/mutalith conversion we got. grass is always greener I guess.

My List

AdMech:

A transport - either a walker or skimmer
More robots

Eldar:

Aspects dual kits
A new aspect - something that uses psychic shooting and melee abilities (Sirens?)

IG:

A light tank or FAV sort of vehicle
A half-track to replace the foul-looking Taurox
4-legged Sentinels ("mobile" artillery)

Knights

House guard (mechanized infantry in exo-suits)
Quad-legged knight (Scorpion pattern)
Quad-legged knight (Centaur pattern)

Necron:

Return of Pariahs
Completely reworked Flayed Ones (with a short-ranged ranged attack or "pull" attack where they draw an enemy unit to them)

Space Marine:

They have enough

Tau:

Super-heavy Hammerhead
More alien allies (Demiurg?)

Tyranids:

New Lictors in plastic (with an option to build Deathleaper)
A new superheavy; the Forgeworld one is horrid
Winged Carnifexes

3 Pyrovore/Biovore dual kit (that's a no-brainer)

3 Lictors (medium sized assassins) / some sort of Winged Lictors (a new mid-sized flying Shrike replacement)

A proper Tyranid super-heavy in plastic. Something durable and focused on support, accelerating and shielding Nids around it, recycling biomass and equipped with a pod launcher that can launch a brood of creatures/MCs at distance.

For Dark Angels:
-New Azrael model. That thing is old.
-New Ezekiel Model.
-Lion El'Jonson Model.

For Imperial Guard:
-Support Sentinel,
-Plastics for smaller regiments (Steel Legion etc)
-Plastic version of a discontinued FW tank. Something like the Leman Russ Conqueror, or Salamander Scout vehicle.

Ad-Mech:
not a transport
Some gribblies - some sort of servitor unit, so you can make deformed cyborg type folk who are slaves to the mechanicus

Chaos:
New berzerkers kit
New CSM/Chosen kit (I think it'd be good to have a more comprehensive kit with options to make CSM or chosen, with lots of champion bits).
New dark apostle

Space marines
Nothing!

Necrons
Nothing!

Imperial Guard
New versatile troop kit that can make various different kinds of regiment. Not necessarily to make specific named regiments (valhallans, catachans etc), but versatile enough that you can make something that isn't obviously cadians. More heads and torsos would probably do it.

This would be great. To be frank as someone who plays Cadians because I like the lore it is a shame to see people who don't want to play the regiment I love, having to play them for the sake of cost and accessibility. Because then we end up with very similar looking armies, which can be dull and they're never quite happy with the armies' look and I want people to love how their army looks.

Tau: Crisis Suit Weapons Kit. Just 2 of every weapon. Maybe a drone network kit so drones are cheaper than $6 each through official channels.Infantry heavy weapons that aren't pathfinders. The first two are to make the army less dependent on ebay. Infantry heavy weapons, namely some form of AT, is an odd gap in an otherwise customizable shooting army. Stealth suits are close, but nothing in the troops section.

I would completely do away with the Dino bots and start from scratch with the concept.

Soooooo

Look at Arch Magos Scoria, that is a good example of Dark Mech/Mechanicum horribleness, take that concept and apply chaos to it.

I would like more organic gribbly versions of the mauler fiend, helldrake and forge fiend, they just dont suit the Chaos marine asthetic at the moment (for me).

Tyranids:

1. Pyrovore/Biovore duel kit - These two are the last of the finecast multi-model units remaining in the Tyranid range (remaining options are single-model units or characters) and the Biovore could stand to have a new sculpt regardless.

2. Tyranid Shrike kit - While they are still around in the index, having them brought back as a stand alone kit would be welcome. Could also have a secondary build based on the old Parasite character (or perhaps just a return of the Parasite proper).

3. Plastic Heirodule - The venerable Hierodule is already fairly similar to the Imperial Knights in terms of stats, but its Forge World model is rather small now and doesn't match the aesthetics of the army. Remaking it as the Tyranid "knight" equivalent could work nicely to provide a LoW option for them, plus its weapon options could be consolidated into one kit with perhaps a few more added for good measure.


Genestealer Cults:

1. Aberrant kit - Currently the only place to get Aberrants is Deathwatch Overkill and they are understandably mono-pose models. A full kit also allows for some new weapon options which could offer new roles besides dedicated melee armor cracking (Aberrants could be a candidate for a "devastator" style team using Heavy Mining Weapons for instance).

2. Biker Hybrids - Either Acolytes or Neophytes mounted on civilian motor bikes to provide a non-Sentinel Fast Attack option while keeping with the repurposed aspect of the army.

3. A small transport flyer based on the Arvus Lighter - Both thematically appropriate and useful as a means to supplement Cult Ambush in matched play.

When I started playing Necrons with their 3rd edition codex, I loved the green rods. Now, however, they're very out of date, and it doesn't make sense any more when you have, for example, a Necron Warrior with a Gauss Flayer compared to a Doomsday Ark's Gauss Flayer Array - the two weapons look completely different, much more streamlined, maybe not quite as impressive but probably better overall. To that end:

1. Necron Warriors - give a tiny bit of variety in leg poses, change the gun to no longer have the rod.

2. Necron Destroyers/Heavy Destroyers. Make the Heavy Destroyer gun plastic, and remove the rods for both Gauss Cannon and Heavy Gauss Cannon. In addition, give Destroyers and Heavy Destroyers the option to take Tesla Cannons and Tesla Destructors respectively - it just makes sense to me to give them the option.

3. C'tan Shards: For the love of the Octed, give me a plastic, modular kit to make C'tan/Transcendent C'tan shard models. Please. Please. Please.

Nice idea for a thread!

Imperial Guard:
The basic IG infantry has needed upgrading forever, so here's my modest proposal.

Light Infantry set - Fatigues and caps, can be built as conscripts or scouts
Medium Infantry set - Light armor ala the cadians. Can be built as infantry or vets.
Heavy Infantry set - 4+ save guys with plates and chainmail (vs the sleeker Scions). Can be built as heavy infantry or trench raiders (shotguns, axes, knives)

Inquisition:
Inquisitor set - lots of head and weapon options. Heck since I'm asking 2 bodies in there, male and female
Henchmen set - 10 bodies and tons of arm and head options. Robes, cyborgs, armor, catsuits, whatever. Male and female.
Warrior set - Break out warriors from the other henchmen options and out them here. Diverse set of uniforms and armor, lots of weapon options.

Imperial Guard:
Yes. Again.

Jeep/staff car - carries 6, either a fast open topped one full of scouts or a closed top armored limo for officers.
Troop truck - carries 20, sucks in all respects. Alternate build as a supply truck/objective.
Thunderbolt fighter - it's about damn time. The Vulture would also work.

Chaos:
Multipart cultists - or at least all the Dark Vengence Cultists in a cheap and cheerful set.
Multipart mutants - come on!
New Bezerkers - I mean seriously they date from the last century come on!

Adeptus Mech
Servitor squad - Just ordinary working servitors pressed into service, stompy zombie cyborgs
Multipart tech priests - with options/rules for not just Mr Fixit, but the Biological guys, the information guys, the quantum disassembers...
Tripods - how do you have a Martian army with walkers and not have tripods?

Sisters

Plastic Sisters
Plastic Seraphim
Plastic Penitent Engines

New:
Palatine commander
Baneblade size Temple vehicle
Canoness in artificer armour

I don't need to say why do I?

Marines
Snipers (not scouts but full Marines with big ass Sniper rifle) - especially for Raven Guard!
Thralls - plenty of Chapters use them

Knights
Household troops
Household command units
House hold APCs with repair variant

#1 - New Primarch
#2 - New Primarch
#3 - New Primarch

And no, I'm not joking. I have a serious desire to collect and paint each and every one that comes out, regardless of the armies I play.

Haha "sucks in all respects". I get why you have a desire for this. In the days of primarchs, daemons and knights, there is a lot to be said for the humble guard squad in a truck.

Yep, it may suck but the ability to dump 20+ riflemen in your face is nothing to laugh at.

Not every kit has to be the bestest ultimate.

1) Pariahs
2) Plastic C'Tan Shards (could easily be a dual kit)
3) Plastic Flayed Ones

I think it's time for GW to cough up the cross-faction goodies.

My idea is that each box would contain about 10 of the usual infantry models, but then include a couple small upgrade sprues (such as the primaris models have) to themeaticly fit them with a faction:

1) (IOM/Tau) Human Auxiliaries Box. Hab workers with las guns. Comes with a Tau and IOM upgrade sprue so you can match your faction. Finally a troop choice for the Inquisition and a decent, disposable screen for Tau

2) (Orks/Necrons) Human Mercs. Both factions make large use of human mercs but we never see then on the board. Give them shotguns and some feral bits for the ork side.

3) (Eldar/DE) Feral Eldar. Light, cheap, ranged, unarmored infantry.

DG
1. Easy-to-build deathshroud terminators. $60 for 3 models with less options than their 5 model counterpart for the same price seems ridiculous to me
2. A mechanized Lord of War of some kind. Either a walker or a big tank
3. An updated demon prince of nurgle kit. With jetpack wings. That'd be rad.

In a similar sort of boat, collecting all the Chaos Primarchs and converting the Loyalist ones into Daemon Princes.

If you want Primarchs that badly you can get most of them already.

I'd make a Great Harlequin, decent Khaine model and Avengers with swords seeing as they're meant to be generalists.

T sons

1) shekmet cataphractii body guards for Magnus and characters. Same price point as deathshroud but more focused on spells and shooting

2) silver tower super heavy

3) pink horrors with the T sons tag on them seriously that's one of the only things I want

1) Pariahs
2) Flayed Ones that look more like their 3rd ed incarnation instead of the current fashion show
3) A necron tank that's actually well armored and designed instead of the current nonsense. Something like a mini monolith. Or a murder sphere. Or a Triarch Stalker with a hatch and isn't aligned with the Triarch.
