I still think that they could do a lovely Kill Team box with Catachan jungle fighters vs Dark Eldar beastmasters with deathworld critters. It'd be thematic and it would allow two units to be slipped in for general 40K use as well.

[KairosVI]

chaos demons could really use one or two new units that aren't characters :D

[mazubahtender]

What should the World Eaters and Leagues of Votann get?
A full miniature range for starters.

[tiberiumnp]

I wish Thousand Sons would get more marines. Khenetai Occult or even just access to Warp Talons would be awesome. Anything but tzaangors.

[bobbobertbobberton]

WE's juggernauts are going to happen, what I really want are bezerkers with jump packs and red butchers.

[rollfizzlebeef]

Having the iconic Guard regiments return as indivdual, specialized squads that fulfull different roles would be a fantastic way to showcase their uniqueness and deal with the issue of guard infantry being difficult to identify on the table.

Gimmie an Armored Fist squad made up of Steel Legionnaires; Elysians and Drop Sentinels in a jump-troop role; Catachan Devils as dedicated, ambush-oriented counter-melee specialists. There's so much GW could do to flesh out the squishier parts of the AM.

[stewartbobbitt]

For Deathwatch, I’d honestly be fine with just a bunch of upgrade sprues. Infantry, Terminator, and Biker upgrades with various chapter stuff. Parallel that with a new Vanguard Vets kit for use in Kill Team would be a home run for Deathwatch.

[mentok]

World Eaters should get access to the Slaughterbrute, the alternate build from the Mutalith Vortex Beast kit. They need some sort of unique heavy. I honestly don't see Blood Angles Death Company getting a new release. Most likely going to lose the Death Company Marines Datasheets and have Death Company Intercessors and Death Company Intercessors with Jump Packs and just package the Intercessor kit and Jump Intercessor kit with upgrade sprues.

[vxicepickxv]

Death Guard needs a normal sized box for plague marines. 7 man boxes are unacceptable.

[turquoiseuselessowl]

The main problem with the Thousand Sons is that they were the first. They have a limited number of models and suffer from a large number of moldlines. As an example, I started collecting army of World Eaters after I had experience assembling Drukhari, World Eaters are so much more pleasant to assemble and their moldline is so small that it seems to me that after applying the base they will be completely invisible. While my friend collects Thousand Sons and, according to him, most of the time all he does is clean models from moldlines. Plus, if we talk about the armies of chaos, the Death Guard received many more models than the Thousand Sons. It seems to me that the sons of Magnus deserve to be re-released among the first (although of course after the Gray Knights or Drukhari)

[rankcolour]

Logan Grimnar on foot is almost Guaranteed. He has no official model on foot and hasn't for like 10 years.

[ExtradaemonYT]

Honestly shocked GW haven't released a set of Guardsmen regimental upgrade kits like they did with all the Space Marine chapters. They released a Cadian Upgrade Kit (For units that already look like Cadians), and then left it at that.

Where's the upgrade kits for the other regiments?

[bastionwargaming]

Drukhari need something brand new on top of plastic resculpts. We haven't had anything new since the revamp in 2010!

[yeshuas_natsarim]

For us in the black templars, I'd like to see a bigger upgrade sprue for more customization as well as a templar only dreadnought of some sort. Loaded with multi meltas and a big mace/flail for melee. Maybe shield

[scottatkinson]

Every faction needs a Primarch equivalent or larger centre piece model if theyvhavent already got one e.g Asdrubael Vect on his Dais of Destruction.

I'll focus on Dark Eldar because they were the faction that initially brought me over from fantasy to 40k in 1998 and are probably the only one that could get me interested again.

Over all of their codices they've lost quite a few special characters, so bringing them back in plastic or actually giving them their first official one would be great.

Dark Eldar are pretty much 3 unique armies in one, so being able to field them as such with at least two troops choices, unique characters, elites, fast and heavy support would be great. This could be as simple as Kabalites being used as a Trueborn unit or Wyches used as Bloodbrides etc. No need to even release another kit (although preferable), just give us options.

[kolosmenus]

13:20 I've never heard the rumour/theory about Deathwatch being folded into Agents of the Imperium, but I have to say... I like it.

Deathwatch alone doesn't have enough going for it to be a full blown separate faction. But running deathwatch alongside Assassins, Inquisitors, Psykers and Stormtroopers? Sounds awesome.

[FScarecrow]

I was also thinking about Pestigors or Plague Marine Breachers for the Death Guard

[matteoorlandi]

I play Black Templars and what I would really love to get is a unique kind of dreadnought, heavily melee focused, maybe with a big sword, a shield for inv 4+ and some short-range shooting weapons such as multi-meltas rod heavy flamers. What do you think

[jzJohn]

As a Templar player I have to agree, I can't really imagine what new kit they might release for us. All of our iconic units have already been refreshed but I do like the idea of a generic Black Templar chaplain kit. The regular primaris chaplain just doesn't do it for me. I'd just be excited to get a codex and more Templar specific detachments.

[ryansmith-xcsg]

Black templars dreadnought with sword and chains would be super cool.
