The 'raptors' are long since dead, or should be.

Arbites or Beastmen. Surprised nobody has mentioned squats yet either.

Hm... Arbites. Yeah, I'd get on board with them. I'd love to convert up a couple squads with Black and White rhinos. I'd even put flashing LED cherries or a lightbar on them.

Exodites - who doesn't like eldar riding dinosaurs!

Yeah, the Kasrkin models are still so beautiful, they must have been incredible when they were released back then !

The Dominatrix.

The queen of the surface forces was mentioned again in the current Tyranid codex, and we are still waiting for our first plastic Lord of War...

Where was the mention! I missed it



And yes, also my vote.

Actually Parasite of Mortrex is my vote, but Dominatrix and DoM are closely following

Ku'gath plaguefather. Though I'd be more interested in an actual model for him rather than just rules .
Maybe Pestigors/Nurgle Beastmen as well, they appear in the siege of Ultramar and also in DG novels.

<edit> Sorry, missed line "one unit", spoiler the rest.
I have a whole bunch of old metal militia:

(blond haired guy in the middle is a different model)
It would be nice to have a couple squads of these getting underfoot in a battle.

I would love a Captain Ventris( primaris scale preferred) of the 4th company of Ultramarines, and maybe a few of his Sergeants. Inquisitor Eisenhorn's retinue would be nice as well. And to top it off Imperial Navy officers (especially a Lord High Admiral),armsmen, and security forces would be amazing.

Exodites
Penal Legions
Arbites, particularly for Cities of Death type stuff to assist Imperial forces.
Chapter Serfs for sure, doesn't have to be anything special.

Honestly I'm okay with the autogun veteran business. I know it's useless, but the variation is nice to see. And I'd like to see it more. Great for modellers. I've always thought things like lasrifles for Rough Riders would be cool. Doesn't particularly make them a better unit, but certainly makes a bit more sense. That sorta stuff. Alas.

Actually, I'd quite like to see Atilla / mounted Guard in general. I think Commissars on horses are a great idea, would certainly be inspiring. I'm glad Forgeworld tapped into that.

Wirewolves.

Eldar Outcasts, aside from snipers.

I remember when we had a whole army for Eldar Outcasts...

Old Zogwort.

Really surprised noone had mentioned him yet. By far one of the best and fluffiest of the Ork characters, written out of the rules for.... no good reason.

Castellan Rhinos - Rhinos the Iron Warriors used with extra armor plates that could expand and link together with other Castellan Rhinos to form hasty fortifications. If I remember correctly they also had extra shock absorbers and extra weaponry.

Wow those sound incredibly cool and would absolutely make me play IW, seeing as the only picture we have is a Mars pattern Castellan I'd love to see FW make them as a £10-£15 upgrade kit for the plastic rhino. Having them on the tabletop could provide some opportunities for some really cool thematic battles.

Sensei

Movie marines

Feral Orkz, Grot Snipers, and Mad boyz.

For Chaos, some more demonic machines, like those Discord servo Skulls from Storm of Iron that just brainwashed and tortured those poor Guardsman slaves.

Chaos Assassins.

Drop pods (or equivalents) for every army.

Definitely agree with the daemonic machines, servo skulls brainwashing units would be pretty great.

Assassins are also something that really should be available to Chaos too. And snipers (though the assassin sniper would kill two birds with one rifle).

Don't most/all armies have a drop pod already? Or at least some kind of reserves-able transport? Though I might be thinking of old rules... Eldar and DE have stratagems, and don't DE transports have a kind of "from the skies" rule which is much like drop pods...

I'd be shocked if a full Cultist release doesn't end up getting snipers as an option for Chaos. Dunno when we'd get it, but that seems like a thing we'd see.

But Squats do have rules.....in Necromunda.

For eldar (all types) I'd like to see them get their named characters back. Such as Iyanna Arienal, Malyes, or Khuela DeVile.

For sisters, I'd like to see a return of the named cannonesses, and characters, and to bring the Palentine back as an HQ.

Does the IG Bombard have rules?

Ork Looted Vehicles

Bring back Anghkor Prok!
Kroot need their HQ back!
Or make Master Shapers, or Kroot Shamans.

Grot snipaz

Sanguinary Priest in TDA. I build mine in 5th edition which was the only time where he was playable. Since then that cool looking model has never seen the Battlefield again :(

I have bought a GK Paladin squad just to build him. :(

Am I correct in thinking the only way this can be achieved at the moment is by inducting Renegade and Heretic Marauders?

If you're referring to the Dominus, then it does, but it doesn't have a model.

No one's said The Emperor yet? He's got to be able to do something from his throne.

The monsters on Catachan.

Feudal world natives.

You could make the same argument for Nurgle though. Or Khorne. If a daemon prince primarch is a 400 point lord of war, what kind of slot would an actual God be. Would be something like Titan points.

I would like to have a model for the Arch-Arsonist of Charadon.
