Games Workshop taking this video's suggestions to heart, except they stop watching after the Space Marines section.
You'd think that with how big the company is and how much the models cost, they'd be able to do more stuff more often (especially for xenos/non-imperium factions) but, well, why do that when they can just keep selling space marines?
Whenever someone says "nobody buys x" as a justification for why they don't get pushed, that's usually because x (whatever it is- xenos, eldar, etc.) isn't getting the support it needs to be popular. Space Marines are pretty much ubiquitous in anything 40k-related, but if it's not a space marine or the imperium, it's not going to be advertised as much because of the self-fulfilling prophecy of "we don't want to spend any money to push/develop this thing that won't sell".
Also to note the Necrons have several named C'tan related to the stories that wouldn't be a bad thing to bring into the game to flesh out the star gods a bit more. That said, it'd be nice to have Anrakyr back.
I want them to bring back necrons actually led by C'Tan. Would have to be shards I guess. Like the original codex. Imagine a necron world where the C'Tan managed to get free and take control of the crons there. Then they could bring back Pariahs too. Yes I'm still grumpy about what Matt Ward did to the faction.
TBH i want an updated Deciever and Nightbringer.. both rules and model, before we get anything else
@@technoheretic The game does not need another mindless army of destruction, they already have the Tyranids for that. It'd be something if the C'tan themselves were more interesting, but they're not. They have The Sneaky One, The Murderous One and The Machine One, all archetypes that are played to death in Warhammer 40K itself. The faction is much more interesting as ancient god-breakers.
@@Gryps2well easy solution just write in a new one that's not like that
I just want pariahs back
A Catachan plastic line for Kill Team with more weapon options would be a damn godsend.
And maybe more armor for tempestuous scions. Like a hellhound variant or maybe a lemun russ
@@Nobodywithabeard Ehhhh. I don't really see a need for that when we have so many Russ options atm. Hellhound maybe? Or bring back the storm Chimera with some Hot-Shot volley guns as an option.
@@Kingofdragons117 agreed a Hellhound or something similar would be better. But its also GW and they might do the Russ for some random reason
Thats my hope as well, it would mean that guard has a mele option and i could run cultists as count as catachans for traitor guard
Thats my hope as well, it would mean that guard has a mele option and i could run cultists as count as catachans for traitor guard
World eaters should have rules for the slaughterbrute, it's weird that the mutileth vortex beast has 40k rules but it's khorne alternative doesn't
Cause the slaughterbrute isn’t a khorne unit… in fact in fantasy/AoS khorne armies are the only ones not allowed to take them. In that system they can only be taken bound to a wizard, which khorne armies aren’t allowed to use.
It should have the lore changed for 40k (or just in general tbh) but it was probably ignored cause of this.
@@Swampert919 it has the khorne keyword in AOS and can be bound to a khorne hero
@@Morvox must have miss remembered, swear it was only wizards last time i looked but that might be a lore only thing... apologies.
@@Swampert919 the vortex beast is wizards only the brute is slave to darkness (any mark) and khorne keyword heroes
I love that take on Drukhari. Just give them access to their range, including Vect
For real. I really want to build a drukhari army but there isn't a whole lot available!
That's literally all I want. I don't even want new models. Just print the current range.
For Dark Eldar, I'd personally love to see;
1. DE become the main antagonist faction for 11th edition
2. Revamped kits for Wyches + Reavers.
Also add brand new kits for Trueborn Warriors & Wych Cult Bloodbrides so they can become proper units.
3. New plastic kits for both Archon + Haemmy w/weapon options.
Grotesques, Beastmaster + Arena Beasts, Court of the Archon all get full plastic kits.
4. Vect gets a big center-piece/LoW model on his pimped out Dias of Destruction!!
Plastic models for Lady Malys, the Baron (hellion character from 5th), the Poisoned Tongue named Archon (sorry, forget his name) & The Decapitator (old Mandrake special character)
I honestly feel bad for DE players, poor guys just keep watching their model range shrink every edition, while even 1kSons get new stuff!Lol ;-)
@drunkenastarte5243 in your number 1 point this would be fun and an easy way to bring jaghatia back
They need to release the head archons has well as vect.
Votann and World Eaters need the rest of their frickin' range.
This is gw, and they arent space marines. Their range is complete. Enjoy the 2 or 3 kits you'll get (probably mostly characters) over the next 5 years. Oh, look, 30 new space marine kits that seem fair.
World Eaters are space marines though?
@@DemoMan465yeah but theres some stuff from codex csm they can throw into the world eaters like raptors. I’ve wanted to run a turn one charging army with angron and raptors for so long man
Im hoping for some walkers/mechs (think like the loader from alien) with close quarters and long ranged options. Artillery and maybe a flyer
@@DemoMan465someone on /tg/ did a count and marines alone have had more releases in the last 5 years than all xenos combined. Deldar barely even make up a full range. Meanwhile marinepiggies cry they dont have another box to consoom each month.
Gonna need more Lieutenants on tactical rocks, for sure.
As a Templar player, what I think most of us would enjoy a lot is a Chaplain dreadnought upgrade kit for the Redemptor
A bit out there, but a unique Emperor's Champion dreadnought would also be extremely cool. I do not recall any lore explicitly stating that dreadnoughts could not be champions, and they certainly sleep enough to be pretty great targets for dreams. Honestly, I'm just jealous of the other (lamer) chapters that get their own dreadnoughts with cool CCWs. I want a dreadnought with a giant sword whose only job is to bully huge monsters.
@@mersenniusprime that's definitely the other avenue to explore when it comes to BT dreadnoughts, it would be interesting if it could be a kit with both options (like the Furioso), just added into the standard Redemptor kit
Inquisitorial Storm Troopers are really needed. They were so awesome in the artworks of the Daemon Hunter codex.
Chaos Knight wish list
1-Faction rules that are worth remembering
2- A reason to take big knights
Let's hope that they do some serious buff in battle shock
I no think the same for Imperial knights. All Arminger lists aren’t the point of knights.
Im almost certain GW wont buff the big knights to the point of being useful, they will just nerf small ones until the big ones look good in comparison, even if that ends up leaving us with a 30% army... and i expect nothing from them about the rules either, we will remain with unfun and random pos rules... max i can see them is making the -1 to be hit from turn 2, which will still suck. Oh, and Abominant needs a complete re-work from the ground up for its skills, its sooo bad that even when the edition released and he was 395, had overwatch and towering he sucked, now at 455 with neither of those rules he is just pathetic, he does less than a single Neurolictor at 390 points more for skills and the rest of the profile is vastly inferior to any othe knight.
a cool way i think would be nice for Knights and chaos knights is to give them unique servant infantry and bind them and the small knights to be limited to 2 per Big knight taken to have some feudal world feel to them all of this is in the lore just ignored my friends and i came up whit a rule for the infantry give them a 6+ invul and a 6+ fnp when whit in 6 inches of a big Knight and they get to counter charge units that charge the knight
@@viktorgabriel2554 the problem i see with forcing a big knight per 2 small ones is that big knights are way too overpriced right now (and in the case of Abominant and Preceptor, just plain garbage), so being forced to run overpriced units to have access to the "good" ones is just a kick on the nads at this point, specially for chaos, that none of the big knights is worth running right now, not even the "cheap" rampager at 380... just think about it, a knight at 380 is not good enough right now, and the rest are like 450 at the very least.
Drukhari model wishlist:
- updated plastic mandrake kit
- updated plastic beasts kits
- rules and potentially kits for the many removed characters of previous codexes
- sniper assassin style unit
- mandrake assassin unit
- lieutenant equivalents for kabal, cult and coven
Admech wish list:
1. Automatas in 30k
2. Veicles in 30k+Terrax
3. Secutarii
4. All knights that Mechanicum used in 30k
One issue the admech have is that they have lots of lore stuff that hasn't really made it to the tabletop, like the Ordo Reductor and the Secutarii. Porting across the 30k minis, particularly the automatons (to round out the legio cybernetica) and the secutarii myrmidons would be great, but I'd love to see a few reductor minis, artillery, siege focused techpriest, etc.
@@gribblethemunchkinYeah, it’s disappointing looking at the lore, and then the FW models compared to 40k, whereas it seems the designers Skitarii is the only main fighting force. Yeah, there’s lots of Skitarii, but there’s equal amounts of CultMech and Cybernetica forces, but as of late it’s nothing but skitarii skitarii skitarii
I would want a cavalry focused Skitarii marshal.
I want my thallax in 40k.
I'd like an electro-priest character and a sicarian character as leaders for those respective squads. I'm thinking an 'Arc-bishop' for the priests and a 'Vicarian' for the infiltrators/ruststalkers.
The Eldar just need some love. A lot of it. Still my favorite army but more than a bit peeved how neglected they are.
As an Aeldari player since 1994... I'm still using models from THAT ERA. So yeah we have a LOT that still need updating. To be fair, I still like the vehicles. Even the venerable Vyper (the first plastic vehicle for the Eldar) is still great. The Phoenix Lords though need to be completed. As do the Aspect Warriors (Fire Dragons, Swooping Hawks, Warp Spiders) desperately. At least the Striking Scorpions are out now. A super Heavy tank from the Forgeworld range does sound cool. The Bonesinger NEEDS to come back with similar rules to other army's "vehicle repair guy".
I'll repost my wishlist here, while also adding an update or 2:
Death Guard - proper Dreadnoughts (even just bringing the Heresy ones out of legends).
CSM - Legion-specific upgrade kits like the Night Lords one, proper Dreadnoughts that aren't just Helbrutes, Huron Blackheart, Chaos relic terminators, a standard Chaos Lord with a multipose kit so we can get rid of the crappy Blackstone one.
Thousand Sons - More Dreadnoughts (see above, but also with a psychic option), blade occult equivalents, generally more Rubrics for different roles.
Necrons - Trazyn, Lokhust lords.
Tyranids - Shrikes to go with the winged Tyranid Prime.
And as a bonus:
World Eaters - GENERIC FOOT MOUNTED LORDS, Red Butchers, Teeth of Khorne, vindicator tanks, more Dreadnoughts (see Death Guard and CSM).
32:31 don’t forget Knights of Ynnead.
This would a great aspect of death to add to give Ynnari players a unique unit.
The unit would give GW pretty much free reign on design
Ynarri desperately need something other than characters
@@_F8. exactly
Sisters of Battle could have amazing flyers! The gothic aesthetic makes all their gear look cool I think.
A sisters style fighter jet would be dope.
Bonesingers had been part of the fluff ever since the Craftworld Eldar debut in White Dwarf 127 (UK) during Rogue Trader, they even had 2nd Edition rules in Citadel Journal 13, it would be nice to see them return, could even do a Wraithsinger too perhaps. I'd love to see plastic FW Wraithseer too.
I think the smart thing for Marines would be if GW decided to release proper, thematic upgrade sprues to key units of various chapters. We really don't need more different unit types currently (esp. since 11th ed. will most likely see the next release of Primarisified Firstborn units), but we really should work on stuff like, idk, giving White Scars a Stormseer and Outrider upgrades, or Raven Guard a specialized Phobos squad, or Salamanders getting a special version of Infernus and Aggressors. Showing that love to these chapters would be nice.
This should already have happened, yes.
That is basically exactly what they are doing with nemesis claw, if that sells well I would bet we see more.
I agree. I was going to play RG but was put off by the lack of unique units, same with Salamanders.
Genestealer Cult - 4-armed Ambots. Perfect fusion of Mining concept taken into a military warzone. Would fill a "Dreadnaught" position in the codex, allowing the Rock Grinder to be a different kind of tool.
The havok squad for the DG it's a must, that or the Plague tower come back XD, also a model for the Mother of Oblivion would be awesome
For the thousand sons, we (or rather I) would like the osiron contemptor dreadnought in plasic please
Just built a recast one. A beautiful model that made me start a whole army project. Wouldn’t mind to get 40K rules, even if they’re in Legends.
We need more than that.
We don't even have melee options
Yeah, Osrion Dreadnought rules to port would definitely scratch that psyker dread itch we all have. I would be okay with a psychic Helbrute, but I rather prefer an actual TSon Dreadnought that has been rubric-ified. Though it is possible that rubric didn’t transform osirons into dusty automatons but rather boosted their psychic potential if they were powerful psykers.
I would like to see Rubric Khenetai Occult marines, since they were Tson pysker augmented melee units in 30k.
I do want to see a Tzeentchian daemon engine in the Tson roster, perhaps a mini Silver Tower of Tzeentch would do. Or maybe something like a tomb scorpion that tomb kings have but it is a scarab beetle with guns.
Havoc rubrics seem to be unlikely, but I would like to have them.
A bit of a fact check:
The genestealer limos were scratch built by a player and featured in an issue of white dwarf, they were never produced by GW
A whole Drukhari range refresh for 11th would be ideal, even most of the core stuff (sans incubi) has been scale crept by their craft world cousins.
Was thinking about a Deathguard Havoc equivalent with a friend the other day: The old style Plague Marines with missile launchers in Dawn of War 2, 4 of them with special tainted missile launchers to punch up (maybe +1 to wound vs enemies in contagion range), and the silliest idea of them all: give them deadly demise D3.
Deep striking death guard melee unit that explodes and makes an enemy unit have the contagion aura
@@respectfulevil9022that’s what I think DG Possessed should do
I really want to collect Grey Knights but im gonna hold out til the sculpt updates whenever they may be
most the Grey Knights players plan to steal the Deathwing Dark Angels Terminators for conversions if you want to join in sooner
I have slowly been falling in love with older sculpts. I'm probably one of a few people to think so, but I think grey knights as they are now are the best looking space marines. But that's just me probably
For DG I would love some themed possessed and/or obliterators, also being able to get the Lord of Contagion would be much appreciated.
Completely agree on the Themed Possessed/Obliterators, we need another troop choice - DG Havocs would be nice too.
I'd also like to see a Lord of 'Whatever the psychic version one would be' in Terminator Armour;. especially as the generic Librarian in Terminator Armour is better than a Malignant Plaguecaster! An updated DG Daemon Prince would be nice. I know we have the generic which can be kit bashed but having the choice would be lovely.
Yeah, we def need more troop options if anything, I don't run cultists or poxwalkers so it'd be nice for other options
For DG, I'd love to see;
- Plague Havocs with 'oodles of alchemical & bio weapons. DG would be the per fit for Rad weapons outside of Ad Mech.
- Possessed + Traitor Guard added in
- A new 'Lord of the Death Guard' kit with various options. (ie: kit could build a Lord of Contagion + add in 1 new mantle of contagion)
@@ooTheRustySheriffooit’d prob be a Lord of Poxes, it’s mentioned in the 8th edition codex alongside the Lord of Virulence and is described as a “master of spreading airborne miasmas” so works as a psyker.
@@Swampert919 Perfect! Let's have one 👍 thanks for the reply
Guevesa would make sense as a Kill Team release I reckon.
That would be cool
I just kitbashed some from cadian shock troops and the breacher set. They look awesome
I like Tau to have a heavy infantry option. Since taking objectives is vital, Tau need a squad that can dish out firepower and be able to take hits. Squad of Enforcer suits or something.
Yes plz
Zandrekh and Obyron I hope come back as a kit together. You really shouldn't be able to take one without the other. These two were a personal favourite that I brought along to a lot of games that I probably would have won if I hadn't, ha ha ha.
It’s a shame gw really didn’t “update” the rules and options that went along with the cron named hqs that wasn’t a cryptek, Every change was always a nerf or a much worse option to field over generic.
Maybe, they can release Zahndrekh as a standalone kit, and then make a vargard standard unit on a similar style of the royal warden or an updated lord, then have an upgrade kit or upgrade option to make the vargard into Obyron.
To add to space marines. I imagine we are going to get an update to assault terminators soon since they have the models for the standard ones
Do you think they would ever release Primaris with grav cannons or lascannons ?
We have heavy bolters and plasma, but the other two from the devastator kit haven’t turned up anywhere yet
@@Youschnoob649Eliminators have mini-lascannons
Ah yeah I guess that’s true. Good point. Would just be grav that we’re missing then
Cerastus needs to be included in the codex for 40K, expensive and very cool models but lots of question on if GW will sack these off for HH only. Knights also need some kind of tech marine body.
A Sacristan model would be cool, just give them an autopistol and CCW for combat and otherwise just let them heal knights. Would fit lore-wise.
Yeah I think they will sack them off to HH at some point. Shame I just got a castigater for Xmas but I am working on a heresy army anyway so will run it with that if it dies from 40K
Agreed, Cerastus and Acastus need to join the retinue with proper rules. Also GIVE BACK MY DAMN BONDSMAN RULES.
If the Solar auxilia release in plastic is anything to go by the knights are probably going to get split between 30k/40k in the near future
Briefly on Imperial Knights; two potential new units for Knights were hinted at within Assasinorium Kingmaker.
The first being the aforementioned vassals you mentioned, called "Footmen"
Generally from their description, just seem to be Guardsmen like, but could definitely serve the purpose of being a smaller unit that Knight Armies could take to hold objectives.
The second one however, is more interesting. A small conversation between Tech Priest Sacristans revealed that Cawl himself is working on potentially making his own Knights, and naming said weapons the Knight would wield after himself
Why would knight players want infantry though. The point of the army is giant fuckhauge robots, if I wanted infantry in the army I'd ally in guard
@@knightpaladin9841 Politely, as a fellow Knight player, additional units upon the board to secure objectives is quite useful to have, especially with how the rules are in 10th. Allying fellow units are more difficult to accomplish in 10th, and having an in army way to secure objectives without overpaying for infantry units from Imperial Agents is quite useful.
@@knightpaladin9841because knights are inherently a skewed army and lack objective holding units.
You have 3 dedicated 40k kits in plastic that equal to 10 some odd variants across the board. That’s nothing
This idea is from Poorhammer podcast, but I would love to see a chaos knight that isnt walking on two legs. Meabe something like a spider-knight, or things simmular to Khorne lord of skulls. I also thing that god-specific knights would be really awsome. Chaos knights are less held back by "boundries" of knight code and more of A terror faction. And spidey knight would be scary
I was thinking it would gorilla-ish but Eric is kinda bad at explaining things.
For Tau, while the Kroot are looking to be getting a refresh, the Vespid are in dire need of an update. Furthermore it would be fantastic to see something like the Demiurg be repfresented as Tau auxiliaries with the Votann release.
However barring all of that; I'd really like to see the Tau get some form of new battlesuit to show that they have been advancing their tech still. Perhaps a FSE inspired Crisis variant designed for close combat. Representing the Tau's method of waging war expanding to accept that melee combat might become an inevitability in the galaxy and designing tools to perform well at it. Or a heavy, shield carrying Broadside designed to slog up the battlefield and push the front lines back with brutal shotgun like mid-range weaponry. There's a ton of untapped potential for suit ideas and variants.
I loved that you referenced Dawn of War as a good reference for models. I loved that game. I wish the Aeldari Webway Gate model looked like the DoW one... :)
As a GK player I'd love an HQ that can lead a unit of Interceptors.
Oh, the Repressor would be another tank that'd be lovely to see in the Sisters ranks again.
I've been hoping for a Repressor since they updated the range in 8th.
Half the community thought the castigator was a repressor when we got the first look at it's silhouette, but alas.
I'm not upset about getting the castigator, it's my favorite tank, but damn to I want the repressor.
Tau: Remastered versions of Devilfish and Piranha. They don't need design changes, just remake the molds to be more focused and fit better in the build process. A couple of the bits could be added to the kits this way like smart missile pods and better sculpt seeker missile options like the Broadside kit has.
Make an "all in one" kit for Imperial Guard, where you can make a Tallarn, Valhallan or Mordian unit. Could be as simple as having different heads & a few sprue options.
That’d be difficult for a single kit. Tallarn wear robes, Valhallans wear trench coats, and Mordians wear their dress blues.
The all in one is the basic Cadians not painted green. Every other regiment not wearing similar equipment is a renowned regiment, that’s why they have names.
Let’s add that Guard’s player population is incredibly tiny compared to other factions, and there’s wayyyyy too damn many regiments to make kits for. They’re goin to stick with the popular ones for plastic kits
Really want some Primaris Breachers just for a more sit a shoot unit especially as a fists fan
Preach, battle-brother. Suitable "unique" troops for us since our rules already emphasize sitting still anyway. Heavy Intercessors with shields would have me screaming.
2:12 Lord Firaeveus Carron jumping for joy rn at the prospect of getting rid of the METAL BAWKSES.
Personally think it’s a given that Karandras is the next phoenix lord to get the update treatment thanks to his aspect warriors getting it 😎
Aeldari: Aspect warriors that are missing. I still have metal Warp Spiders from 20 year ago, today they have the same sculpt, just in plastic.
For Genestealer Cults, a mini tank with a Anti-vehicle ranged weapon.
Bonesingers would make for a great new unit (basically a walker and vehicle healer), but we also could (and should) get a plastic port of the great Shadow Specters and an updated walker kit that dual build with the Wasp.
Bonesingers and Wasps are legends, as much as I would like to see new models for them, I can't see it happening. Shadow Spectres in plastic on the other hand, would be very welcome and viable given they are good in 10th. 🙂
@@davidfeline5850 You seem to have a very VERY shortsighted view of 40k.
Things being legend only means they aren't supported by the game anymore, mostly because GW discontinued their production, 2 things that don't prevent them in anyway to be brought back.
The Wasp in particular would be a smart choice as the Walker need to be updated anyway so slapping an aditional sprue in the new box to have it be a dual build with the Wasp would be a smart move.
As for the Shadow Specter, the fact that they may or may not be good RIGHT NOW shoudln't have any impact with their move to plastic, as such move imply they are moved imply they are now mainline codex units, and thus will get a datasheet update anyway (the same way a Legend coming back would btw).
What really matter when it comes to what should or shouldn't be added is if it fills a gap in the roster, is OG and iconic or just cool, balancing datasheet will follow from there.
@@Pers0n97 Shortsighted? I don't believe so. Realistic, as an Eldar player? Absolutely. GW is balancing the game around the tournament scene so anything in legends is not going to be a high priority for an upgrade as it can't be played there. I agree the bonesinger and wasp are very cool but, the war walker kit is already in plastic and is a lot better than the old metal one. It's also selling well, at least at my FLGS. For the Bonesinger, that's a fun painting project. I would rather run another unit of Rangers or a Warlock in game as my experience with our tanks is; if they get caught in the open, they die. So an extra D3 wounds? Screening or objective scoring is a higher priority personally. On Shadow Spectres, the Exarch and Irillyth are not available from GW but are not in legends and you can still buy the 5 elf unit from FW/GW when it's in stock. This implies they intend to support it in future. None of the metal/failcast/resin Phoenix Lords are available direct from GW/FW and the last few editions of the game have slowly seen Aspect Warriors appearing in plastic, Scorpions being the latest via kill team. So they appear to be the primary upgrade path. Let's also not forget that arguably the best model from the ninth edition codex was a 36 year old 2nd edition Baharroth. In white metal... Vehicle wise I'd say the Vyper is the most likely to get an update as it was highlighted in the anniversary models recently as being our oldest plastic kit. As for running OG and cool, my Dark Reaper Exarchs with flail of skulls say hi. 🙂
@@davidfeline5850 "Shortsighted? I don't believe so. Realistic, as an Eldar player? Absolutely. "
Let's hope this bold statement won't be followed by the cringiest load of short sighted statement ever put onto text then, right? (spoiler, it was followed by the cringiest load of short sighted statements ever put onto text).
"GW is balancing the game around the tournament scene so anything in legends is not going to be a high priority for an upgrade as it can't be played there."
This is, without a doubt, the most moronic braindead take I've ever seen in my life.
BRO. As I literally just explained, the point of "udpating" these units is NOT to make "updated legend units", why would you even THINK that?
The point is to bring them OUT of legend and into the mainline codex.
"I agree the bonesinger and wasp are very cool but, the war walker kit is already in plastic and is a lot better than the old metal one."
What an odd thing to say.
Why even reference the old FIRST EDITION War Walker from 1988, as if that made the "new one" from 3rd (2003) or the 4th ed one from 2006 somehow noticeably newer than most of the range.... when 4th was the periode where almost all the range was redone.
Literally all the kits that have been updated in 9th and since were all from the exact same periode than the new walker (and that includes the Scorpions and fire dragon, the only the tanks (which are literally timeless), Warp Spiders and Swooping Hawks are still from 3rd (and yes, these two should be on the very top of the "must be updated asap" list).
"It's also selling well, at least at my FLGS."
What the f are you talking about?
Are you actually saying that the only reason for a mini to get updated is if it doesn't sell enough? Wat?!
"For the Bonesinger, that's a fun painting project. I would rather run another unit of Rangers or a Warlock in game as my experience with our tanks is; if they get caught in the open, they die. So an extra D3 wounds? Screening or objective scoring is a higher priority personally. "
Hey, remember when you made the pretty bold claim that you weren't ultra shortsighted?
Then why are you still talking about Legend Rules her, as if it mattered?
Do you even know what Legend rules mean? You do realize that the whole point of Legend rules is that they are intentionally designed to not be competitive and not be updaterd, and since the game is on constant powercreep path this means they get worse and worse as time goes.
You do realize that just because said Legend rules are bad doesn't mean you can't make actual good rules for that unit if you tried, and it CERTAINLY don't mean that bringing that unit into the main codex would mean keeping their orrendous rules unchanged.
Also, you realize that tanks are not the only Wraithbone constructs in the army, right? All the walkers, from the Wraithknight to the Wraithguards are ALSO Wairthbone construct, its literally in their name, and they would GLADLY get a support character that could increase their resilience.
Speaking of that, you could do a LOT of thing to make the Bonesinger extremly good, from the obvious healing ability ofc, to having them buff thoughness or save for wairthbone constructs, or to do some more exotic stuff like buffing their Invul or giving them FNP.
"On Shadow Spectres, the Exarch and Irillyth are not available from GW but are not in legends and you can still buy the 5 elf unit from FW/GW when it's in stock. This implies they intend to support it in future."
Again with the moronic shortsightedness, WHO CARE ABOUT THE CURRENT STATUS OF THE MINIES?!
Also you must be totally deluded to believe that GW intend on "supporting" ANYTHING FW related, ESPECIALLY a unit they removed the Exarch and Phoenix Lord of (how the fuck does that sound like a signe they want to support it?!).
To ANYONE that actually pay attention to GW actions its very, VERY clear that everything FW related is going the way of the dodo, they are just milking it as much as possible on its way out.
"None of the metal/failcast/resin Phoenix Lords are available direct from GW/FW and the last few editions of the game have slowly seen Aspect Warriors appearing in plastic, Scorpions being the latest via kill team. So they appear to be the primary upgrade path."
What was even the point you tried to make here?
Why do you weave in the exact same sentence two facts that have loiteraly no correlation and try to drow a conclusion from them?
Yes, Phoenix Lords have been lacking big time when it comes to getting updated, but of the 2 we recently got none were from Kill Team (because, yaknow, Kill Team doesn't do named characters).
And yes, the scorpions are indeed comming under the guise of KT, but out of all the Eldari unit updates, they are literally the only one, so how exactly does that make it "the primary upgrade path"?
"Let's also not forget that arguably the best model from the ninth edition codex was a 36 year old 2nd edition Baharroth. In white metal... "
AGAIN with this cartoonish shortsightedness, what the HELL are you talking about bro?
WHO CARE ABOUT HOW IT PERFORMED?! Hey, wana know what was the best performing Tyranid last edition? It was the Dimachaeron. Guess what happened? They removed it from the game!
Do Baharroth (and the hawks) need to be on top of the update priority list?
OFC, but it has NOTHING to do with how they performed last edition and everything to do with the fact that they are ammong the last remnants of 2nd and 3rd ed minies still in the lineup.
"Vehicle wise I'd say the Vyper is the most likely to get an update as it was highlighted in the anniversary models recently as being our oldest plastic kit."
So you are actually capable of understanding what should or shouldn't dictate what constitue a good reason for updating a mini?! So why do you keep talking about the god damn rules you weirdo?!
"As for running OG and cool, my Dark Reaper Exarchs with flail of skulls say hi"
/facepalm
Oh and please, if you intend on typing walls of text at least learn to use the most basic formatting skills if you intend for people to actually read it.
@@Pers0n97 🤣🤣🤣 Someone has anger issues...
You forget the Assault Terminators, right now there are only the regular Terminators with Storm Bolters and both Power and Chainfist, we need the melee experts ones, with the Lighting Claws, Thunder Hammer and Storm Shield, who knows maybe their new version will have access to more wargear options.
funny thing with the defiler kit is that is has no base BUT the Soulgrinder that has the same body comes with a 160mm round bare.
i put a 160mm round base on my Defiler and it just stand much better
Plastic FW Corsairs Wasp Assault Walker, Hornet, Cloud Dancers, Void Dreamer, Corsair Prince and Baron, Ghostwalkers, Voidstorm, Balestrike, Malevolents and Bladesworn Retinue would be great. Could take some inspirations from the original Rogue Trader - The Book of the Astronomican - Eldar Pirates army list too like FW also did.
The Flayer King idea for Necrons would be a perfect introduction to Xun'Bakyr, Mother of Oblivion as a canon character as she is the Phaereon/Phaerakh of the Maynarkh Dynasty
Either she or Oltyx would be perfect, through I think she won't be a Flayer, just a very cruel, but sane, figure
Aledari also need a new Autarch Skyrunner. While in plastic, the current one is quite old and does not match with either the new Autarch on foot or with the new jetbikes. You can easily kit-bash one using a Shining Spears Exarch and an Autarch bits but is quite expensive (especially for a unit that does not have good rules right now). Being Saim-Hann the poster-boys for Craftworlds, maybe we will get one in the new Aeldari Combat Patrol?
As someone who plays Iron Hands... it would be nice to actually have Kardan Stronos as a new model for space marines. I acknowledge that many other armies within 40k definitely need to attention of GW for updates and or even models that just outright should exist for Tabletop purposes; However, I can't really ignore the fact that all other space marine chapters have their Chapter Masters while Iron Hands have the Iron Father that personally TRAINED the elected chapter master of the Iron Hands. Just seems a little strange to me
White Scars don't have theirs either. Kor'Sarro is only Master of the Hunt.
nor do fists or salamanders
Thanks so much for keep doing this videos Auspex, your time is appreciated 👍
Jump pack Dreadnoughts please 😄
Dreadnoughts on bike?
Dawn of War 3's backflipping terminators
You have those in horus heresy.
There is also the rumour mill with pasties & grenades which strongly indicate Ratlings.
I want a new Kaldor Draigo and Brother Stern, as well as maybe a GK themed dreadnought. Other than that, since there’s no confirmation that GK are moving to primaris in the lore I’m ok with their current scale, maybe bigger terminators since they’re not too much taller than normal strike marines
The easiest way to this is just make upgrade sprues that have the front of the chest, shoulders and helmets for the existing new terminator models.
For crons.
With the Triarch being a major under-utilised resource, they need to flesh out this aspect of the crons. (Following the judge, jury and executioner trope).
- An execution style/themed war machine focused on melee.
-A leader unit to lead them to their quarry
-An up armoured “breacher” variant of the prets
- a deployed defensive structure to observe the going on’s of the serfs under their control
A new set of seraptek units or rename the seraptek keyword.
-A melee variant
- much heavier ranged version that deploys to bring an Uber weapon (something to replace the pylon).
Flayer themed units
Flayer lords (1 named, 1 standard).
Heavier variants based on immortals and lychguard
An immortal or lychguard transporter option
I'd like to see them get creative with GSC. Like maybe a mining train on treads or something wild like that
I'd like a resculpt/release of both Vulkans for the Salamanders please!
Great stuff on Thousand Sons, +1. I feel compelled to add to the wish list though - as it stands, they have just 1/3rd of the bespoke kits designed for them (eg not for AoS) as DG, the smallest range of any full-fledged army in the game, so I don't think it's unreasonable or unrealistic to dream of more.
#1) Thrallwizards! A chaff unit designed for TSons, analogous to Poxwalkers and Jakhals. They're an important part of the lore as the main source of aspirants for new TS sorcerers. They're a matriarchy and are also frequently sacrificed to power rituals and spells. Some kind of sacrifice mechanic for cabal points would be very cool.
#2) Something like Zoanthropes. I picture a "fast attack" squad of 3-6 melee sorcerers on disc.
#3) As much as I want a psyker dread like the Blood Angels get, I'd also like a kit to make it a Rubric Dread instead!
#4) As much as it's good and fun to dunk on Tzaangors, how about something unique for TS: a Tzaanogre?
#5) Rules wise, our normal Sorcerer and/or Infernal Master should function like Space Marine Lieutenants, and our Exalted Sorcerers like Captains - let us attach both to a single unit!
#6) Selfishly, just for me... The Castellax-Achea from HH/30K. Robots with psionically resonant crystals in them that let TS tech marines/numerologists control them with their minds. We're back in realspace, right next to our former forgeworld of Zhao-Arkhad that designed the heretek psi-tech, let us have them back!
My Renegades & Heretics Army would love the following:
1. Rules
That’s all. Thanks!
As an Ork player I’d love some Cybork Bodyguards, they’d fill a gap in our range and go well with a Grotsnik refresh
Im into the vehicle side of orks and would really like a big chopper unit. like a black hawk with door gunners and stuff. just something dumb and silly.
for the knights, what I want to see is a Quadrapedal Knight that specializes either in multiple of the Questoris Carapice weapons, and/or has some massive indirect system akin to the Manticore tank
The biggest mutual win for Grey Knights players and GW would be a plastic Kaldor Draigo. He's the closest thing we have to a primarch and there's no love for the old resin model. Stern is only made to order anyway, though I agree we'd still be happy with more named characters.
# Space marines :
- flyer transport
- captain/lieutenant in centurion armour
- Primaris lieutenant in gravis armour
- Librarian on bike
- Captain/Lieutenant/Librarian in bladeguard armour
- Dreadnought character/techmarine/apothecary
# Necron :
- anti infantry chariot vehicle type
- Another new type Triarch
- KEQ Canoptek construct
# Imperial Guard
- Variable-fighter flyer unit
- Super heavy transport (capable to transport leman russ/Rogal dorn tank)
- new halfling snipers
- Guilliman tank (hq/infantry support)
# Tyranid :
- KEQ tyranid monster
- new old one eye
-....
That's what I could think of for now, please add more
Space Marines already have a flyer transport. That's what the Stormraven is. It's awesome, it can transport Dreadnoughts
A second FOB kit I think could add some useful options for the guard, such as a static towed AA mounting a twin linked icarus autocannon system. And of course the conspicuously absent thudd gun/quad mortar, which along with the hydra quad AA autocannon is another weapon that appears to be limited to a chimera chassis.
As a long time Dark Eldar player, I just want a named Archon (doesn't have to be vect), and a super heavy to play with. Maybe some more anti-psyker tech would have been neat when there was a psychic phase, but that is gone now. With the current state of them, I just don't have a drive to play with the units I've been playing with for a little over two decades. Sure we got some resculpts, but nothing *new* to play with.
GSC with winged mutants would be interesting. They're a total mystery at this point.
One thing I want for Death Guard is the ability to make a full squad of Plague Sprayers, like Space Marines have Flamer squads and 1k Sons can make full Warp Flamer squads. Not fun to meet those when fielding Skitarii, that's for certain XD
Quite a few things are needed for some factions, here goes.
1. ACTUAL characters for the non God legions (Decimus, Honsou and Solomon)
2. Melee Battlesuits for Farsight Enclaves
3. All the things you listed for Drukhari
4. A unique unit datasheet for each first founding chapter/legion that does not have their own range. E.g. Firedrake Terminators for Salamanders, Headhunters Alpha Legion and Pathfinder bikers for White Scars
5. An actual Kroot range
6. Myrmidons, Thallaxes and Castellaxes in plastic for Admech.
yeah as much as i am VERY happy with the Night Lords kill team we are never getting our primarch back (like 99% chance he wont come back) so id like at least 1 named character.
For Orks, they need a plastic Weirdboy. Most people are using the plastic Weirdnob from AoS as a proxy or making some crazy kitbash. Would be nice to have an updated plastic kit to the failcast resin kit currently available.
As for Leagues of Votann, the video is spot on. I would probably suggest some weaponry that doubles as a mining laser. Seems more fitting. Maybe some stationary mining lasers like the Ork Mek Guns would be cool. Maybe a transport that burrows underground.
'Ard Boyz and AT for Orks
Melee Rubrics for Thousand Sons
Chain Kopesh
I think for sisters a sick unit for bike style unit could be mechanical Pegasus riders, could call em valkyrie! I would rock it for sure!
If we're getting a valkyrie, it would probably be the name of whatever generic leader we get for jump pack sisters.
I also would really hate if we got horses for our mounted unit. I want bikes in the worst way, and would have to kitbash them all to get it.
For DG it'd be neat to have some kind of "heavy weapons squad", some sort of infantry heavy gun like an Entropy cannon on a tripod or a mortar crewed by two plague marines, it would hark back to their WW1 design cues and their very heresy-era looking gear (maybe something akin to the rapier battery), and give them a longer range punch without spamming PBCs
Sisters need a Baneblade-sized cathedral on wheels
“They see me rolling, they praising. They see me purging heretics, they see me purging heretics”
This, and it needs to be good against high toughness targets, outside of the triumph, retributor and dialogus combo it's massive hole in the army that I'm very surprised he did not mention. My big wish though is for them to release a Cathedral drop pod with laud hailers on it. I need this.
Salamander’s, Fire Drake Terminators with very tanky saves or hammers that don’t have unwieldy.
Imperial Fists, Eradiactor Style unit that has heavy bolters. I feel that 6 primaris heavy bolters would be relatively strong.
Scars - bikers with weapon options or jet bikes with options.
Raven guard - Phobos jump pack saboteurs. That can lay mines or charges and have stealth or infiltrate
Blueberry’s already have stuff with victrix guard and a ton of characters so they are fine.
Iron hands - ability to character any dreadnought again or make special commanders for tanks like guard to improve the Armour around it.
Psychic titans existed on the loyalist side as well during the Heresy. I had read a story about it in one of the Heresy books.
We're saying 'crons had a huge release but they haven't actually got anything new except the 6 armed guy and the void dragon.
New sculpts for the same units maybe, but they're the EXACT same options as 6th or the end of 5th when they got their thematic update. There is a lot of cool sculpts the necrons could have that just don't exist, like that 4 armed swordsman we saw the other day on reddit.
Given that the necrons have basically 2 wargear options per unit, they just need more units. There's a huge potential for expansion within the destroyer cults and room for a lot more interesting stuff like the triarch stalker, AND room for more steadily marching legions of steel. There's basically 3 armies worth of thematics for necrons, minimum, and each barely has the surface scratched.
Imperial wishlist:
1) Do something about the Dominus Bombard, which has rules but no actual model.
2) More different Imperial Guard regiments!
3) Plastic ForgeWorld characters like Tyberos.
4) Horus Heresy units for the IG and AdMech.
5) IG flyers.
Chaos wishlist:
1) More daemon engines.
2) More World Eaters.
3) Legion-specific vehicles.
Xenos wishlist:
1) Tempest Tank for the Aeldari (previously seen in Epic).
2) VECT.
3) Kustom Stompa.
4) Leagues Land Trains!
I'd love to see plague ogryns as a heavy infantry nurgle option. CSM used to have them but I feel like if they're re-imagined a bit and made into basically Nurgle Terminators they can fill a big gap in the army.
Yes, blood angels need a "Monstrous Infantry" SAnguinor" with Sanguineous powers ...needs the lore from GW first...
fixes there missing power, sometimes I run my Mepheston with aanother HQ near its like a Monster..works good for a shooting and melee push
Imperial knights could do with a engineseer type character to do repairs and or some sort of cheap infantry to hold objectives. Maybe a transport knight?
Votann player here. I want a named HQ choice that doesn't suck. I also want them to bring back the Votannic Council with suped up HQ choices with better rules, gear, etc. Maybe a named variant option for each as well. I want a dedicated non-troop carrier vehicle option. I also want some large Ironkin, like Gorkanaut sized. Also, please no land-train, GW would mess up the rules and it would be a laughing stock for our entire existence.
From one LoV player to another, you spoke my exact thoughts. Fingers crossed for the future, kin.
I wish they kept all their cool extra rules. 10th butchered them
Definitely, I miss the council, the flavor of the different leagues, and I generally miss kitting out the E.Champ with Exactor, Warrior Lord, etc@@DuxDamnatio
Also walkers, walkers would be cool along side a flyer
Sisters of silence have loads of unique units in HH so I would like to see model releases for those
I’d love to see some dark mech units released as support for the Chaos Knights. Would be a good way to soft-release the Dark Mech as a faction and could also be a home for Vashtoor.
I think Daemon possessed mechanicum battle robots would fit in nicely somewhere
Astra Millitarum kits for the 'lost regiments.' - All I've ever wanted. Some re-imagined infantry, 28mm true scale guard that isn't Cadia
The missing Phoenix Lords is what I'd normally say (Warp Spider, Shining Spear, Crimson Hunter), but damn would I settle for Fire Prisms/Nightspinners being back in stock (I'm almost at the point where I'm going to 3d print them)
I would love to see "cult" Hellbrutes (ie. unique variations for the DG,TS,WE,EC).
I would love a biker unit for Sisters of Battle. Especially when you see a lot of people kit bash Cav Sisters.
- For the guard, gimme the DKOK. All in plastic. Them and Catachan seem like the best ranges to have as a sort of "core trio" of plastic guard regiments, alongside the Cadians, then from there they can do kill team and conversion kits for more distant regiments. I know people love the Armageddon Steel Legion because of their nostalgia, but I think the DKOK are more visually distinctive, I'm sorry. Also wouldn't mind a couple more units for the Militarum Tempestus, honestly. There's been rumors of a jetpack Kill Team of Scions, and that sounds fun.
- For the Admech, I want their 30k range, but, barring that, I want some kind of superheavy. If they're not going to roll Knights into the Admech, then I want to see some really big Admech walker tanks, or even stuff on treads show up in a superheavy slot. Either that or something even more wild and unexpected but still cool. Some kind of big centerpiece for the Admech.
- For the Blood Angels, a new Librarian Dreadnought would be really cool. That and if they're going to update the Rhino/Predator kit, I want to see a Baal Predator come along with it. A new sanguinary priest is higher on my list than for most because I like the Lamenters, and they have a unique Sanguinary Priesthood in the Calix.
- For the Deathwatch they actually have a unique unit in the lore called a Deathwatch Keeper that's never been on the tabletop. They're clad in robes and carry power poleaxes, and they guard captured Xenos and Xenos tech in the Watch Fortresses. It could be interesting to see them realized alongside updated Deathwatch Veterans, a Watch Master, and a bigger Corvus Blackstar. Could be cool to see the Deathwatch Keepers serve as like a unique Deathwatch option that is an alternative to Bladeguard.
-For the CSM, all the Undivided Legions need a unique unit and an upgrade sprue. I really wouldn't accept any less. Iron Warrior Warsmiths, Night Lord Flenser Lords, Alpha Legion Snipers, etc... Also a refreshed Defiler, please, and updated Chaos Lord kits with a ton of options, jetpacks included. As well as an updated Terminator Lord that likewise has a lot of options like the old kit had. I also think some of the "minor" undivided warbands need to be elevated up to take the place of the god devoted legions that are leaving for their own codices, like the Red Corsairs, the Pyre, the Cleaved, the Invocators, the Magma Hounds, the Crimson Slaughter, or the Creations of Bile. I think the Fallen should be their own Kill Team release, but it would be cool to see them elevated to their own subfaction in CSM all the same. (Maybe their special rules could involve the theoretical Fallen Kill Team unique unit becoming Battleline)
-For the Thousand Sons. I really, really want some kind of Daemon engine for them. Maybe a flyer, because Tzeentch likes birds, or a tiny unit of 3 flyers. Ideally I would like to see more than one daemon engine, like what the Death Guard have, but let's not get too greedy. They also need both a Sorcerer Dreadnought, and a Rubric Dreadnought, those would be nice. Other than that, some kind of Havoc equivalent could be cool, or a Cultist Witch Coven made entirely of rogue psykers, that could be interesting. Rogue Psykers as a whole would be neat to see come from Blackstone fortress to CSM. They already have some nice sculpts. I also really want to see some more special weapon options for the Thousand Sons. I'm sick of everything either being a warpflamer, a soulreaper cannon, or an inferno bolter. Maybe like a Melta option or a Missile Launcher of some kind. It would also be nice for the Thousand Sons to receive a unique Sorcerer in Terminator Armor kit with a ton of weapon options. There's no reason for the generic CSM kits to stay generic. It could be nice to see a unique predator variant, if they're going to have sorcerer dreads, might as well take other inspiration from the Blood Angels and have a Predator with two Soulreaper cannons for the main gun.
-For the Chaos Daemons, I want to see an updated Soul Grinder sculpt. Maybe with deity-specific options like we got with the Daemon Prince. If they're going to flesh out Vashtorr into being his own burgeoning Chaos God, they could always do more fleshmetal Vashtorr-affiliated daemons that have tech weirdness. Always love that in 40k. Also an update of the Heralds of Tzeentch would be nice. Probably my own bias talking, but I love daemons of Tzeentch.
-For the Eldar. Warp Spiders or bust. Warp Spiders and Fire Dragons.
-For the Dark Eldar, honestly I'd love to see some more generic HQs. Right now it seems there's only one for each of the little subfactions. Maybe a different kind of elite assassin for the Kabals, or a different kind of Homunculus would be neat.
regarding alpharius:
> and "Alpharius"(who is actually Omegon) wasn't actually trying to kill Dorn and instead tried to turn him to the traitor cause
On the off chance you're basing that off of *Head of the Hydra*, for whatver it might be worth;
>"Oculus why do you love Warhammer lore?"
"Canonically Omegon took the name Alpharius while Alpharius took the name Omegon and then Alpharius who was Omegon was killed by Dorn and Omegon who was Alpharius renamed himself Alpharius in honor of Alpharius who was actually Omegon."
>>I’m glad you like it, but I’m afraid that was not my intention :) Omegon took on the identity of Alpharius for the purposes of the epilogue, but otherwise I envisaged their identities being as other authors had written them (and swapping as suited them, as has always been canon).
>>>Ahhhhhhhhh so it WAS Alpharius killed by Dorn, excellent. Even better!
>>>>I wasn’t intending to shit all over John French’s work, no :p It never occurred to me that people might take the initial deception as standard from then onwards!
\- Mike Brooks twitter.com/MikeBrooks668/status/1372933173441667078?s=20
And John French on Alpharius's intentions;
> But there certainly was, was a feeling of… there were people reading a different set of books than those that I were. And maybe that’s because they wanted to, maybe that’s because they just read it a different way, or, or, I mean I don’t know this could be, could be a whole myriad of reasons why. A lot of it as you say, was they weren’t hearing the whole story. They were reading isolated bits of information and forming their own reasons as to how that happened.
>Yeah, yeah.
>And that particularly happened with Praetorian of Dorn and... uh, you know, Alpharius, and the death of Alpharius-
>Yep. Yep.
>Was he dies, that’s rubbish.
> *Inhales* Yep, how can- how can that possible happen? **And… and what were they trying to achieve, and how could they have done this, and you know, was he trying to kill Dorn? And so on, and the answer is... you'll never know, cause he died.** Um, and, and... that’s… that’s… uh, that’s not you know me being kind of like *oh yeah, ha ha ha*, it’s like, no yeah actually yeah, he had probably all kinds of things he would have done. But he couldn’t, because he died. Um, and that’s what happens when people die like that. They go, and all the things that they would have done or put in place… they just vanish, and the future goes off on a different… on a different path.
> But yes, there was, and some of- some of the theories, and some of the questions I got off it were elaborate, um, in terms of… of trying to… um, make what had been in the book interpreted in a different way, so that he was alive basically. Or it was a big trick. Um… because the whole book had been about a big trick, or a series of big tricks, and it’s actually just the one, one of the moments of truth in it, it’s… all of this stuff and then… bang.
For the first codex they all get something sounds truly awesome to me. I really would love to see some new Death Guard models and didn't actually expect to get them this or next year. Cool info! Thanks for that!
GSC: some elite options, maybe a ranged counterpart to abberants. Expensive but hard hitting ranged. Maybe something like a group of 5 mining lasers or seismic cannons. And a transport that isn't 110 points. Ork trucks are literally 60 points with a full firing deck.
What I want most for GSC, though, are just better integration rules for Astra Militarum models. Right now, there's little reason to take AM models in GSC because they inherit nothing rules wise.
Imperial Knights: Not a need, but I'd like to see the Cerastus class knights in the new codex since we got plastic kits for them. Hoping to see the Atrapos as well.
Oh, and Moirax Armigers in plastic!
I think they should add a special weapon sprue to the intercessors to replace the tactical squad - I just hope they don't cut it down to a 5 man squad and keep the save price though...
I agree but realistically we're probably not going to see the OG marine infantry fully phased out until a future edition. Another thing they could do is sell intercessor upgrade sprues with sergeant, special, and heavy weapons to make primaris tactical and devastator squads to your heart's content.
Or they pull a HH and sell the weapon kits separately
The combat patroll for the thousand sons could take an example from the world eaters combat patrol (the best combat patrol i've seen)
20 marines, 10 soldiers and 1 commander.
Also for the wold eaters some jumpack units would be excellent.
I’m sure some times products go out of production due to mould tools being irreparably damaged or just wearing out. They have tool makers but if they are slow sellers I’m sure a new tool won’t be that high up the list so may explain the odd random line going out
A named character for Chaos Knights would be awesome.
Some form of dedicated artillery for deathguard would be great. Give them more of a trenchfighter vibe. (On that note release a big box dg vs death korps)
Othervise i guess some flying tyranid warriors would be good. My tyranid prime has no one to lead.
as far as the Votann, with thier schtick being "old school space marines) a Dreadnaiught and Land Speeder type units (plus the inevitable Jump Squats) are really the only things missing. I WOULD like to see some kind of Ironkin only squad unit that is built to have a small footprint, unlike the Einhyr, and meant to deploy Phospex or Rad weapon Analogues that are not dangerous to them cause they are organic.
a Brokyr operating a towed gun of some type similar to a Rapier or the Seismic Cannon of Tech marines would be neat too.
i'd like to add things i miss in my armies:
deathguard blight engineer (warpsmith)
imperial fists: heavy assault intercessors with eviscerators andor powerfist+stormshield
tyranids: some kind of sniper
