If you could pick one new kit for each army what would it be

[jimbo1701]

Hi all. Was brainstorming this this other day and thought I would start it as a fun wishlisting topic. Rules of the game - discuss as few / many armies as you want but must be:

 

1. Existing army

2. A single model kit in plastic

3. Can be a redo of existing kit or something new you’d like to see.

 

Here are mine:

 

Adeptus astartes - primaris jump assault troops

Individual chapters - primaris units specific to that chapter

Grey knights - primaris unit

Custodes - dual kit hover transport based on the fw models

Sororitas - flyer

Admech - robot kit to go alongside the kastelans

Astra militarum - new basilisk dual kit with enclosed canopy / crew / Medusa alt build

Knights / chaos knights - new medium size knight kit

Chaos marines - new cultists kit.

Thousand sons - flyer ie doomwing

Death guard - larger daemon engine kit

Chaos daemons - plastic furies

Tyranids - multibuild super heavy kit for dominatrix / hierodule

Genecults - termite transport

Necrons - plastic ctan kit to build deceiver / nightbringer / other

Orks - new deffkopta!

Craftworlds - warp spiders

Harlequins - wraith unit

Drukhari - vect and his dais

Tau - vespids

 

Go!

Grey Knights - More fast attack options, specifically a flying unit

Black Templars - Crusader Squad rework

CWE- need too much to pick just one; avatar is suitable for the exercise

Ynarri troops unit

Tau- Kroot gnarloc/ gnarloc rider (melee)/ Gnarloc weapon platform multikit

Marines- flyer that primaris can ride or drop pod that primaris can ride (Please dear Emperor/ Omnissiah NO MORE HOVER TANKS)

Inquisition- Acolyte multibox

GK- Gravis unit that captures GK aesthetic

Death Watch- Intercessors modelled with SIA

Demons- Chaos undivided supreme commander that does for demons what realspace raid rules did for Drukhari

Chaos Marines- Noise Marines, though I'd prefer EC as a faction so that each Chaos chapter could get a model

Custodes- SoS HQ to facilitate both use in Talons or stand alone SoS (ie what Aleya should have been)

[Trokair]

So many choices. A few of the top of my head

 

AdMech – Thallax in plastic

Tau- Kroot Kindred, containing 10 kroot, 1 shaper, 4 hounds and a Krootox, all in one box.

[Lucerne]

Elysians or new Cadians/Stormtroopers if Scions aren't their own subfaction.

Firstborn Tactical Squad.

Chosen Squad with options.

metal-styled GK strike squad.

[TheMawr]

Adeptus Mechanicus -       Triumvirate of the Ommnissiah; 3 totally weird admech named characters showing their extremeness
Space Marines -                  Servitors squad (5).. for admech :p
Space wolves -                     Wulfenish Packlord on Thunderwolf.
Custodes/TotE -                  Talons HQ squad Terran/Custodes/SoS trio. (nonnamed)

Drukhari -                            Grotesques (3)
Ynnari -                                Generic Ynnari HQ
Craftworlds -                      Rangers dual kit with ynnari relic hunters or something.
Harlequins -                        Weird over the top centrepiece character (named) lots of masks
Astra Militarum -               Something involving Grox
GSC -                                    Named "patriarch", hovering throne, homage to the old patriarch/baron harkonnen, has a "free" mind.
Tyranids -                            the Red Terror, centrepiece and characterful one-of-a-kind
Orks -                                   Weirdboy?
Chaos space marines -      Full cultist squad (10) with plenty of mutant options
Thousand Sons -                Thrall wizards unit (5).. I keep seeing a unit of multiple ming the merciless XD
Deathguard -                      Gorkamorka Mutie seeker/keepers repurposed as DG cav cultists.
Necron -                              Pariah reboot, tall guys with flayed human faces (3) one can be built as a flayer HQ with big scythe.
Chaos Daemons -              Some unaligned cyborgdemon troops.      
Tau -                                    Mixed race auxilery unit

* Because I think Inquisitors should be HQ options in viable codexes. Kind of the equivalent of Daemon prince for chaos.

 

[Wulf Vengis]

Primaris Wolf Priest with Wolf-skull helmet.

[INKS]

Custodes - Telemon kit

[Lord_Ikka]

Space Marines/AdMech/Sisters of Battle: They need nothing, for about a year, just to equal out some product balance

 

Chaos: New Berserkers and/or Noise Marines, give the other Gods some love

Craftworld Aeldari: Striking Scorpion squad, updated to wreck some mon-keigh faces

Drukhari: Mandrakes or Grotesques 

Harlequins: A mid-range infantry troupe, armed with something like shuriken rifles

IG: New standard infantry squad. Can be Cadian, Catachan, or something new, just need to update the 20 year old stuff with more than just head swaps

Necrons: Transcendent C'Tan model independent of the Obelisk 

T'au: A gue'vesa upgrade kit to turn IG units into T'au allies (two torsos with T'au-ish armor, ten pulse rifles with human arms, some helmets, etc...)

Orks: No idea, don't play them (or against them much) and with the new codex coming out who knows what they'll get

Tyranids: A new lictor model, more stealthy with the option for no giant un-stealthy claws

[Doctor Perils]

Fun idea :) I like a lot of the lists here

 

Adeptus astartes - self propelled gun

Custodes - a new character type

Sisters of Silence - excruciatus squads and/or dog handlers (sorry for the "single kit" rule)

Astra militarum - greatcoat guard platoon complete with heavy weapon handlers and tank commanders bitz

Knights / chaos knights - shoot and scoot sniper knight with a two "handed" gun, perhaps three legs?

Chaos marines - dual-kit characters/named characters in the vein of the dark angels' Primaris character. For example a warpsmith/iron warriors special character

Emperor's Children and World Eaters to get their cult troops at the very least

Chaos daemons - new drider-like Daemon engine based on the spider, like the one based on the defiler

Tyranids - new gaunts

Genecults - new purestrain genestealers

Necrons - baby-carrier necron dreadnought (CC based as opposed to the current walker)

Orks - new bikers

Craftworlds - shining spears (who can steal prism weapons from shadow spectres: no-one can tell me prism Lances wouldn't look cool)

Harlequins - musician type buff character

Drukhari - vect and his dais

Tau - some kind of remnants from the 4th sphere?

-> split kroot off into a new mini-codex

[jarms48]

Guard, only 1 choice? Some kind of Armoured Car. Inspired by the many British armoured cars from WW2. 

[sitnam]

Here we go:

 

• Astra Militarum: New infantry kit. I'd love plastic Vostroyans or Praetorians
• AdMech: Just anything Cult Mechanicus related. Maybe a new Tech-Priest+Servitors box
• Sororitas: Sisters flyer. I dont care if they bedazzle an Aquila and strap a mega-melta on it, I want air support
• Marines: Jetbikers if they HAVE to get something
• Custodians/SoS: A SoS HQ option.
• Inquistion/Agents of the Imperium: A  Acolytes kit that can be used with any Imperial codex without breaking army wide rules. 
• CSM: Noise Marine kit. I think Berzerkers can get by a bit as they have far more options for kitbashing
• TS: Tzeentch Daemon Engine. I dont care if they write heiroglypics on a defiler and strap a inferno hurricane bolter to it, I want a unique DE.
• DG:  Daemon Engine transport gunship.
• Craftworlds: A greater daemon sized Avatar. I'd pick Aspect Warriors if I could pick multiple kits.
• Drukhari: A super-heavy grav-tank
• Ynarri: Exodite Dino riders.
• Tau: I want a new alien auxilary, IF they split Kroot into a new allied codex. If not, then a Carnivore kit with Hounds and Krootox.
• Necrons: Pariahs
• GSC: WInged Metamorphs for the fast attack slot. The current range is too much mining equipment, not enough body horror.
• Tyranids: Winged Warriors
• Renegades and Heretics: A Mortal HQ. Maybe a Hereticus Command Squad

[Daimyo-Phaeron Lenoch]

For Necrons, I’d prefer a customizable cryptek a la the old Space Marine Commander Kit, with lots of arkane weapons, obscure technologies, and the rules to utilize all of them to represent things like the aethermancer and the geomancer to complement the psychomancer, plasmancer, and chronomancers of old.

 

For Marines, I guess something similar for a primaris Captain. Give me my customization back GW!

Looking at the Canoness kit, it's ridiculous the number of captain and Lt models GW pushes out. 

[jaxom]

Grey Knight contemptor-achillus style venerable dreadnought with dreadnought sized force halberd (and I guess other weapon options included for those weird people who don't like halberds).

[Waking Dreamer]

Grey Knights - Terminus Decree (the GKs most powerful and mysterious Relic that bears the same insignia that can only be found again on the Golden Throne) escorted by 3 Paladins / Paragons.

 

EDIT:

 

 

^ Oops, already done I guess.

[Marshal Reinhard]

Grey Knights - Terminus Decree (the GKs most powerful and mysterious Relic that bears the same insignia that is only ever seen again on the Golden Throne) escorted by 3 Paladins / Paragons.

 

*snip*

I'd want something similiar for BT, based on the old 4th edition codex. Would be a fun model to paint.

[Ahzek451]

Thousand sons - More sorcerers(kidding), a Sons specific daemon engine in the form of the doomwing/fire lord fighter/bomber dual kit. 
Necrons - pariah re-boot. Something unique enough not to make lychguard/praetorians obsolete. 
CSM-new rhino/transport 

[Doctor Perils]

Actually I'll amend my previous post if possible.

For Thousand Sons, rather than a Daemon engine, I'd like a kind of super-rubricae, like an old captain of the legion who didn't survive the rubrik but is still a skilled fighter, despite losing his personality and some speed. Probably accompanied by an aspiring sorceror dedicated to animating him

[The Yncarne]

Craftworlds - Avatar

Drukhari - Vect mobile

Harlequins - dedicated great harlequin on bike

Hereticus Astartes - new berserkers

Tau - crisis suit redesign with ghost keel visual core design

Thousand Sons - psychic contemptor/daemon hybrid

 

Guess I'm looking for showcase models except for Tau and CSM.
