If you're not familiar Wargames Factory is experimenting with a new business model. They're taking suggestions and pre-orders for plastic kits and when the # of preorders (no money down) hits 1000 they go into production.

They've done Romans, Celts, Colonial Brits and now Zombies.

Several suggestions are pretty blatant requests for a GW rip-off (Great Coat Sci-Fi Infantry).

So what are people interested in?

The one I would buy in heartbeat is Skulls and Bones
http://www.wargamesfactory.com/BookingRetrieve.aspx?ID=43940

No whole skeletons, just the good parts.

Another definite (barring abysmal quality) is modern weapons
http://www.wargamesfactory.com/BookingRetrieve.aspx?ID=37101

Depending on how they look some I'd buy are:

Modern Riot Police
http://www.wargamesfactory.com/BookingRetrieve.aspx?ID=43027
Sci Fi Greatcoat infantry
http://www.wargamesfactory.com/BookingRetrieve.aspx?ID=42195
Sci Fi Civilians
http://www.wargamesfactory.com/BookingRetrieve.aspx?ID=40560
Armed Civilians
http://www.wargamesfactory.com/BookingRetrieve.aspx?ID=37858
Post Apocalyptic Mutants
http://www.wargamesfactory.com/BookingRetrieve.aspx?ID=42197

I'm going to go on and suggest either a Hummer or a near future scout vehicle. After watching Generation Kill a couple of Hummer mech infantry teams would really make me happy.

I think we'd all like the Blatant Rip-Off infantry. Bets sets of guns and other things for conversion would be great.
I should start loggin my pre-orders for the ones I'd like.

I love the concept of what this company is doing. but without even so much as a sketch, it's very hard to get behind an idea. If they've had the time to envision this, at least someone could have taken the time to do a simple artists sketch.

I think they would have more success if people submitted more detailed ideas, preferably with sketches, or 3D models in the case of vehicles.

there's some of that in the forums.

What WGF needs to do is integrate that into the submission/preorder page and allow posting images and comments.

Looks like some fan-requests are in progress

Did they ever get around to making those Gears of War models?

I don't remember any gears of war models, do you mean the ones reaper did?

I'd like to see some generic vehicle sized weapons. Some that would be about right for CarWars done in Matchbox size, and also some stuff for Ork conversions.
