For CSM, i'll say the same as some others, just a really nice chosen kits with lot's of options, similar to current raptor kit. I'd probably end up using it for chosen, berserker, normal csm, etc.
Other than than, a modular exalted champion kit, just so I can legally give him a jump pack and/or terminator option.
And maybe finally a nicer mutilator kit? Current one is technically recent (for csm line that is) but is pretty atrocious.

Screeching Screamer of Tzeentch

Since this is all hypothetical the 3 new kits I would add are my own ideas to the thousand sons as I like to see some unique kits for them. Rather than just rubric rehashes of current chaos space marines units.
1. A new hq character a psyker that casts 1 and deny 1 but is focussed on getting it right so gets a bonus to them and an aura ability to re-roll 1s in psychic tests so you don't need to take magnus for it.
2. Thrall wizards human psykers in servitude to sorcerers that they can pass wounds on too as elite choice
3. For a infantry heavy support unit I would like to see is a rubric unit with armour like the Centurion with heavy weapons fixed to the shoulder 1 of them an energy cannon using warp energy.
Edit: these are ones I would like to see the most but I also would like some new named characters, an elite sorcerer close combat squad that has eye mutations over there armour allowing them to see past, present and future welding 2 force weapons and a exalted sorcerer in terminator armour.

Right here goes.
Space Marines
1. Sounds a bit niche but a kit for a Black Templar Crusader Squad or a redone upgrade sprue. The upgrade sprues, while fantastic, don't really work with the updated marine bodys and arms. It's certainly workable but just annoying to deal with.
2. New Dreadnought kit. The standard Dreadnought kit is fine but it has an identical price to the Venerable Dreadnought kit, which has way more options, and even comes with a "flat front" option. Give the OG dread a couple more weapon options and a bit more customisation and it would be sweet.
3. Better/Improved scout kit. Scouts have been the same for years and the standard scouts look a tad goofy in my opinion, mostly the standard scouts. The could do a combined kit with the snipers, add more weapon options and even a Reiver style bolter with a foregrip (the scouts would suit the more tactical look IMHO).
Imperial Guard
1. Updated Cadians. I know its been said but I think these squads lack a lot of personality and customisation options. GIve them options for marksman style weapons, more head and arm variation. I do like their aesthetic already but the kits seem really basic.
2. None tracked transport. A less stupid looking Taurox (without wheels) would be ideal in that role.
3. Other regiments than Cadians and Catachans in plastic. Just a basic steel legion squad could at least open up a ton of kitbash opportunities up.
Lastly CSM
1. Chosen squad. In a similar vain to the Space Marine Vanguard/Sternguard, could help add more personality to armies as a whole.
2. Havocs. Really need an update, there a lot of potential for a really good, detailed kit. The models do look fine, but theres no variety and it's hard to get the weapons without ebay or spending loads on them.
3.Better Berzerkers. Seriously looking old now, and the kit could do with a few more options anyway.
Would like to say Eldar but they've been done to death on the thread already.

For my existing armies... Astra Millitarum: 1) Rough Riders - Either with Bikes or horses depending on the regiment. Or just sell the bikes, horses and rider legs on their own! 2) A normal Tauros (not the expensive forgeworld venator). 3) Penal or militia legions... or even just conversion or upgrade bits, like they do with space marines and their special chapters. The old rogue trader rules which meant that PDFs could be made up of anything, including muskets, bows and arrows etc were cool. That would go great, thematically, with an agri world with imperial knights etc, or even with civilians, PDFs, and adeptus arbites defending a hab area. Chaos 1) Chosen 2) Newer Chaos Space Marines models (including Berzerkers and Devastators) 3) Beastmen need to come back!

Sword-Bearing Inquisitorial Crusader

Sisters: limiting to three kits is tough but here goes nothing
1) Basic Sisters and Dominions combo kit
2) Retributor and Celestian combo kit
3) Seraphim and a CC jump unit combo kit (with Spears or something).
Honorable mentions, I'd also like a Fanatic unit, cheap average joes with club/hammers/pitchforks and pistols driven into battle by priests, would be a fluffy horde unit for ecclesiarchy. Also would like a Death Cult combo kit with options for dual wielding either pistols (Seraphim on foot with lighter armor), or dual ccw like the current Death Cult Assassins. Both the honorable mentions obviously are less important to have than getting the core of the army updated.
For Dark Eldar,
1) Grotesque multipose kit
2) Vect and/or more HQ options.
3) a Coven "flesh bomb" artillery unit of some sort would be cool, might encroach on Nurgle IP too much though.

Ah! I've figured out my third choices:
Imperial Guard:
Medusa/Basilisk/Griffon kit.
A medium artillery kit. Towed or mechanized guns that fall somewhere between Lascannons/Autocannons/Heavy Bolters/Mortars and Earthshakers/Medusae/Storm Eagle Rockets.
Macharius tanks, as a heavy tank option between the Baneblade and the Leman Russ.
Adeptus Mechanicus:
A turreted and tracked main battle tank with the aesthetic of the ordinatii minoris and krios. Ideally have at least 3 weapon options, one for antitank, one for antipersonnel, and one for somewhere in between.
An IFV, possibly on the same chassis, or on the same kit, at the above. Maybe with an open cargo area so that embarked skitarii can shoot out of it.
An artillery option, probably with large missiles like the Manticore. A big gun like the Basilisk, or an array of small missile like a Calliope, would be cool too.

Guardsmen, hear me! Cadia may lie in ruin, but her proud people do not! For each brother and sister who gave their lives to Him as martyrs, we will reap a vengeance fiftyfold! Cadia may be no more, but will never be forgotten; our foes shall tremble in fear at the name, for their doom shall come from the barrels of Cadian guns, fired by Cadian hands! Forward, for vengeance and retribution, in His name and the names of our fallen comrades! |

1. A new stormsurge. the 7th ed codex stated that the stormsurge was to be the first in a line of new ballistic suits, therefore a new model fits neatly. maybe a dual kit with dedicated anti infantry or anti armor.
2. maybe a new flyer?
3. At least 10% price reduction over all models.

Guard
The Guard doesn't really need a whole lot of new kits IMO, but if I could have three new ones I'd pick
1: Plastic Rough Riders - while I love my almost finished kitbashed rough riders I'd love having an official kit even more.
2: New customizable regiment kit to facilitate building and kitbashing custom infantry regiments - including at least 50% female components.
3: Some sort of baggage train/ logistics vehicle/ base camp sprue with probably naff rules for competitive play but interesting for narrative/ fluffy games and a good source bits for kitbashing and the upcoming RPG.
Sisters
1: Basic sisters plastic infantry with enough configurations to cover the basic infantry.
2: Cannoness kit with jump pack option
3: Sisters flyer of some sort.

Imperial Guard (Astra Militarum whatever)
- A not-super-heavy (read not a shadow sword) tank hunter style vehicle, in the vein of a jagpanzer, possibly on a chimera chassis. I'm not sure what niche this would fill game wise but I imagine that it would be armed with a vanquisher cannon but be cheaper, faster, and squishier than a Russ
- A proper regimental commander kit, with lotsa options like the old SM force commander. Atm all we have is the command squad officer, and he is also the model for the platoon commander
- As somwhat of a pipe dream, a baneblade sized zeplin bristling with ordnance. Don't ask me how it makes any kind of sense for a space fairing army to have a zeplin, because I have no idea
