This is meant to be more of a fun thread than completely serious.

The main point of which is things us the player base wants for upcoming models. I can be from stuff that is currently released but needs an update or profiles that have not had models released for them yet. What this does not include is some 'thought-up' model which all of us can desire for our factions. Also, it does not include anything that is going to be released in the next month or two at the time of your posting.

Something of a list I have as a PanO (mostly NCA) player wants:

1. Hexa Hacker and Combi-Rifle models. Preferably packaged as a blister with two models.
2. Updated Kamau, potentially as an unit box itself with Hacker, Combi Rifle, Sniper and LGL( though I hear HRL is the correct profile now).
3. More releases for Locusts, mostly a boarding shotgun and marksman rifle model.
4. Update for the Crocman combi-rifle and hacker models.

The T-100 Ariadna Tag.

Vanilla Ariadna starter - the current box is getting on in years.

Kazak sectorial starter and rules. Mixed links of Vet and Line Kazaks would give them a unique play style and fit the fluff.

Svalarheima starter and rules.

New generic Ninja sculpt.



Haqq is actually pretty well fleshed out at this point so nothing new is critical for that faction.

Gonna be honest, I don't expect us to get a new "Vanilla Ariadna Starter".

Look at the new Haqqislam starter. They called it the "Ramah Task Force Starter Lite". Expect the new "Ariadna" starter to be similar--it's vanilla, but also the start of a Sectorial.

I expect that to be the new 'starter' set. We also know that next year there is 4 slots for "Big Sectorial Releases".
I expect the one nearest GenCon to be Kazaks. I also expect them to get a S5 infantry of some kind and it'll be in there.

My own wishlist is pretty simple:
I want 3 model blisters of generic Rifle models that are in the starter sets, like we got with the Bolts.
I want more Grunts with Rifles, dangnabbit.

Since we are talking about the future sectorials, I agree with NuggzTheNinja with Svalarheima starter.

Potentially a Varuna one as well.

Varuna's getting one.

Svalarheima's at least two books away at this point, so don't get too excited for them yet. The lists they gave us are them getting free playtesting on their ideas.

I'm in this for the damn Svalarheima too, and using Jotums in a force that has good Link Teams available, but:

Ugh.

Yup. We get water weenies first.

-Asawira Doctor and Spitfire
-Acontecimento Hacker
-Montesa LGL

Short wish-list because I have most of what I want already.

Rasyat resculpt, with wing jump packs. Even got the concept art right here:

There's not much I want for my Haqqislam anymore that's not obviously already in the pipeline.

Generic Jannisary AP Rifle to round out the 5 model fireteam.

Asawira box with new models - AP Rifle, Doctor, Boarding Shotgun and Spitfire.

New Barid.

New Lasiqs. Dual blister should do it.

New McMurrough sculpt.

Because the one in a skirt is old and looks it.

They redid the old dog warriors, time for the mcmercwolf to have his day.

McMurder got a resculpt.




This is his original sculpt




Relatively speaking, his new model is awesome.

If you like dogs in skirts, mayhaps.

I don't.

Suspension of disbelief only goes so far before the band snaps.

I'll put up with werewolves in my SF game, but in a kilt? Nope.

Besides, aren't wu-ming on resculpt #7 or something?


This is my WISHLIST not your highfalutin' FACTLIST.

Besides, I know that if I wish in one hand and crap in the other, I know which one will fill up first.

Instead, we get a repack of the Lasiqs as part of the December preview. A Forward Observer Barid would be welcomed.

Hmm, good calls all round. For me though:

-A updated daktaris model that looks and is posed like the one in the rule book:


-New Kriza models, specifically the HMG and Multirifle ones as well as one for e new specialist profile

-Updated Zero's

-Basic infantry that are available outside of the starter set and do not have special/heavy weapons

-A Combirifle Mobile Brigada

-An alternative SWAST model to the new box

-Joan d'Arc model that does not have an umbra groper, one with the "Saber" look of the LE figure
[edit]
-A new Nomad Support Pack with up-to-date figures and Zondbots that dont look like their dancing to disco music

The Daktari in the Support Pack is new.

She literally was the only one that got resculpted.

The support pack is old and quite frankly shows its age with out of proportion figures and disco fever mcgee. I really want to see the foul mouthed african catgirl we see in the book.

You've seen her. She's the individual blister available in addition to the resculpted model that is in the Nomad Support Pack.

The Haqqislam and JSA Support Packs are the only two that got both of the models within them as brand new sculpts.
The Tohaa one was brand new sculpts just because the Tohaa were brand new when it got released.
The Nomad one got a resculpt of the Daktari, who still has her fetishized cat-girl variant available as well. PanO, Combined Army, and Yu Jing didn't get anything new in theirs(the Machinist and Trauma-Doc are apparently "untouchable" because of who sculpted them and the Yu Jing and Combined Army ones just didn't get touched for whatever reason).
The plain old ALEPH support pack just repacked existing stuff and the Steel Phalanx Dactyl set does the same but did it much later.

It's worth mentioning that Ariadna didn't get a Support Pack despite it being a joke to do--Traktor Muls and Dozer with Traktor Mul Control Device. Boom, done.

Yup. And referred to by CB as their all time best seller. At least, as of several years ago. And referred to by a certain sort as "problematic"


Pan-O really could do with a resculpted support pack. No matter who the sculptor was (Roig), the minis show their age. And not well. There is updated concept art somewhere for the Trauma Doc.



Automatically Appended Next Post:
Ah, Catgirl Daktari, Catboy Clockmaker and Hello Kitty Zondbots. Now that's a Nomad support box.

CB referring to anything as their "best seller" is questionable. They don't really track sales figures outside of their own webstore, nor do they track whether it was bought by someone to paint or to play with.

Also: I hate that model. It's awful and I wish they'd destroyed the molds.

Supposedly the dossier was done for the Trauma Doc just because they didn't have one for her before.

Don't be a troll.


The sad part is there'd be some people talking about how it's not sexy enough, in all likelihood.

Yeah, I know of her, but compare that model to the pic I posted above - the pic from the book has this catgirl doctor running through gunfire (or something nasty anyway), twisting to dodge, shouting curses at the enemy as bullets whip through the air around her.
The model is stood in a very much pinup pose and is clearly old.
foul mouthed Daktaris catgirl it is not. Disappointment it is
