Hey, if it's good enough for the Soviets in the Command & Conquer: Red Alert games, it's good enough for 40k! I'd buy one of these just for the cool factor, as I don't even play Guard.

Jordyz wrote: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
The Destroyer Tank hunter somewhat fills this role, but It's FW and I think discontinued. So a plastic version would be excellent. It may be a bit tanky for your desire, and I'd tend to agree. But the Vanquisher is unfortunately terrible so something that fills the role of a dedicated tank hunter and is easier to find and cheaper than a destroyer would be a great addition to the Guard. .
Dedicated Regimental/Company Commander would be great, as you say when your Company Commander and Platoon Commander are essentially identical it's a shame.

Sneaky Lictor

Tyranids:
I agree new Vore kit(Mixed pyro/Bio and maby a third character/HQ option just to spice things up that heals tyranid units like a medic could even be synapse too)
New Lictor/Deathleaper/3rd version maby a close shootie version of the lictor)
A LOW
For Genestealer cult:
Aberrant kit(nuff said)
Primis/Magus with more weapon options
Great Ancient(Primarch equiv) Broodlord LOW option that is a lvl 2 psyker and has near Hive Tyrant stats but is still zippy like a broodlord he will be the only GSC character that cannot cult ambush and have an upgraded zelot rule to sack bodyguards/fodder for wounds on a 2+ even though I'm thinking 10-12 W for him.

Craft world Eldar
1. the obvious plastic aspect warriors with alternative weapons
2. Autarch with lots of option, but the way GW is been going probably will not get this
3. more Falcon variants like firestorm since it's no longer a forge world model.
Eldar Harlequins
1. death jesters with other heavy weapons like they used to have
2. harlequin mimes and troopers that can take 2 weapons
3. Wraith lord variants that is fast and agile

Warp Spiders. Shining Spears. Cool master Warlocks like they look on pictures, one with gyrinx for example.
I was reading through this thread again and realized a sad trend. Note how many people requested a great multi-part kit with options for a Warlord of their army?
Oh right.
- Plastic Autarch with all the options which were cut from the Index for Eldar please.

I like the destroyer models though :(
Could use a melee option. A bunch of destroyers armed with warscythes and rerolls 1s to hit and wound would be pretty sweet.
Problem though is that they would eclipse scytheguard.
