Great Harlequin.
Proper Wulfen. None of GW's dumb retcon of giving them all weapons.
My Corsairs to get some damn rules again.

Orks
- Gretchen HQ, ideally two, think WHFB big boss & warboss, only able to be HQ in a formation with zero orks
- Gretchen sniper, character rule, 24" range sniper rifle, nothing special other than able to pick out characters, otherwise a slightly longer ranged grot blaster
- Gretchen flagonnastick, Grot banner, only inspires grots

the above as much for humour as anything, but make a grot rebellion list or detachment viable

CSM
- HH era special and heavy weapon teams (5 - 10 man, all the same weapon)
- HH era banner carrier

the above are totally not influenced by a desire to use a Thousand Sons 30k force in 40k...

GSC: A superheavy mining drill like the Mole from Thunderbirds. Covered in flamers and with ambush and transport capabilities. Also a dog/genestealer hybrid like the dog xenomorph from Aliens 3 in the fast attack slot

Dark Eldar-
As mentioned before Wings for Archons. Jetbikes are apparently in the Wych cult armory now, but a succubus with the option would be cool.
Return of Trueborn.
Kheradruak and other special characters from the 5th codex to return.
Expanded beast/arena range.
Finecast kits updated to Plastic.

Tyranids-
Dominatrix. Preferably plastic.
Plastic Hierophant.
Pyrovore/Biovore dual kit.
Lictor/Deathleaper kit with possibly an alternate build.
Updated Harridan and Heirodules. Perhaps to plastic. Tyrannofex is already a similar size to the Heirodules, so I don’t think this would be too far-fetched.

Genecults-
Giant drill as mentioned above, or in-faction access to the Hades Breaching Drill.
Abberants with Heavy mining lasers/other heavy ranged weapons.
More crazy bombs and dynamite holders- perhaps a demolition unit.

A lot of people seem to think that Admech need a transport. I would REALLY like to hear the argument for this, since I seem to be in the minority that don't really think they need once, other then as a turn one bunker to hide Skitarii in.

I agree whole heartedly that they could use some sort of Skitarri prime HQ unit since they're HQ selections are so limited.

The vast majority of their Melee infantery needs mobility.
They are quite costly as is, atleast with a transport you could bring them into melee without just wasting pts.

This would be friggin awesome- personally id rather see large beast size than dog sized but same principle- fast moving close combat beast. Like a rhinoceros genestealer hybrid.

The unit i want more than anything is Primaris Terminators- with really classic blocky armour- basically tiny dreads.

Defilers a laughingstock? Defilers are pretty frickin' awesome in this edition, basically pick twin HB or twin las and the flail and that thing is an absolute terror. 3 S12 flat 3 damage attacks, 4 S16 D6 damage attacks make mincemeat of anything it gets to, and with 8" movement and access to warptime and all daemon buffs it will get to things.

FAQ removed acess to daemon buffs.
Also melee in this edition? Against what targets, btw don't forget that defilers are only hitting half the time, so your 12 attacks will translate into only 6 hits.

Only stratagems, spells and auras still work

Necrons:

The Silent King please

After that literally anything canoptek, I need more insectobots. And maybe a Necron titan equivalent from FW?

Thousand Sons:

Psychic Dreadnought
Those psychic Castellax
And those khinerai(?) Blade guys. Theyre in 30k so no reason they cant be in 40k

A wider variety of Genestealer hybrids in general would be cool.

A plastic full model Kit for cultists?

Plastic or even resin for Eldar, Tau, and Ork hybrids would be interesting, although unlikely.

jetbikes for GK, and some sort of cheap chaff unit. Could be swarms of servo skulls with flamers or servo skull floating mines.

Just Chaos-

New cultists with flamer and stubber options.

An actual lord on a Juggernaut, bike, etc.

A named Slaaneshi KoS.

Ayy, eldar aspects seriously need new boxes. Same goes for orks. Deffkoptas especially.
Actually come to think of it csm /SM regular boxes with all heavy and special weapons options would be nice(oh and rules where they don't suck so hard)
Plastic all options havocs.
An Inferno rocket battery Rhino. (the thing that is on Titans normally as additional weapon, was S7 D4 and large blast, so maybee 2d6 s7 AP -1.)
An predator with full on Hades autocannons and a dual one for the main turret.

What about aspirants, better scouts some more fancy gear?

Catachans:[u]

-New grunt kit.
-Choppa kit.
-Jeep kit.

Space Wolves:
A skald elite choice, it could mechanicly simply be the same as a banner bearer for vanilla, it could be something differant, I just think it'd fit with space wolves nicely.

Szarekh
More Triarch units
Pariahs or Pariah equivalents. If Necrons fought the Old Ones with their current level of anti-psyker they'd be crushed hard.

Corvus Blackstars that can shoot special issued ammunition.

Eldar Knight Codex with a one or two new knights.

Current knight broken into three types...
1. Assault variant (sword and shield)
2. Guardian variant (heavy weapon and shield)
3. Heavy variant (dual heavy weapons)

Add new rules that give a knight better invuln when moving faster (holo fields) or increase firepower when moving slower (can be strategems...I'm OK with that).

Add 2 new light variants that are between wraithlord and current knight size, one with dual improved pulse lasers, one with lance and shield.

Add warlord traits, strategems, etc.

I'd be all over that shizz

Phantom constructs exist allready.

Guard:
- Lite recon tank, like a WW2 Stewart; have turoboost sort of move, main cannon is an Autocannon & hull-mounted flamer or bolter
- non-Superheavy transport designed to hold the likes of a conscript squad
- "Walking" anti-tank/support guns (looks like a Tarantula battery but the legs allow it to scuttle about slowly like a crab)
- Calvary on something other than horses as a heavy infantry option geared for close combat (battlecats would be lovely, bulldogs would be funny)
- Bikers; separate from Calvary, essentially scouts with a pair of front-affixed stubbers
- Stratagem to lay minefields, cover or other hazards about the battlefield (Sort of like the Catachan booby-traps, but for all Guard)

Marines:
- Heavy weapon option for the basic squad
- Underslung/Combiweapon options for Primaris
- Specialty grenade stratagems: Rad, Virus, Vortex, Hallucigen, Toxic, etc.
- Primaris Terminators

AdMech
- Hover transport, akin to a WW2 beach lander

Necron
- Return of pariahs; No psychic powers, they only have the ability to Deny the Witch

Tyranid
- Termagant/Hormagaunt multi-kit (instead of a seperate box for each)

You do realise the salamander scout tank is an option, and fairly easy to build one too:
Costs 79pts a pice with a heavy stubber, autocannon and a heavy bolter, get's an additional movement phase of up to 9" before the game starts and is comparable to a chimera toughness wise.
Built mine out of a chimera chasis of a basilisk.

Add back Absrubael Vect and other Dark Eldar characters. Also on the list:

Imperial Guard bikers with shotguns. Or at least give Rough Riders shotgun option.

Tau artillery units that are not mounted on grav tanks.

GK don't have aspirants, their method of creation is superior to any marine, and when they are made they are already ready to fight in a termintor armor and equal to other chapters most veteran soldiers, only on top of being better they are also all psykers. In fluff of course. Rules wise I don't really care what the chaff would look or be called.
the jetbikes could be unicorns for all I care, I just want something that moves fast is shoty and is good in melee.

for the orks
Ork Guntrukk (a fast trukk with loads of big shootas or a cannon strapped to it instead of transport capacity)
Ork ammotrukk (gives +1 to hit in shooting to units near it, but when it dies it explodes terribly)
flying bomb squigs kamikaze squads (preferably with grots strapped to them for good laughs)
Ork battle tank (hilarious amount of guns or flamers strapped to it to compensate for bad bs)
'ard boys
more gretchin variants
cyborks

MHM http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Grey_Knights
nope they do have Neophyts/ Aspirants, all of them are psychic but they are not superior in any way compared to normal marines beyond psychic capabilities.
Get the salad out of your eyes pls.

Here's my List

Vect
Sliscus
Lady Malys
Trueborn

War Buggies
War Tracks
Deff Koptas
Plastic Ork Kommandos.


You may notice a theme - either GW squatted them because they couldn't be arsed to make a model.... OR, GW couldn't be arsed to update a model from 3rd edition

Never really understood why vect got never an updated footmodell.
Also Orks are in serious need of some plastic love.

Actually have people ever thought about a fleshed out Lost and the damned codex?
From that old campaign. Heck for all i care it would make a great basis for paramilitarized Cultists, mutants, Big mutants, maybee even new Spawn.

Thousand Sons
New named characters
A couple new HQ models
Specialist rubrics with sniper riles or their own type of heavy weapons
Would love to see new models for the marines of the Thousand sons that's unique to them.

Edit: would also like to see thrall wizards we had rules for them in 3.5 chaos codex.
