What do we want in wave 2

[jimbo1701]

Hi guys. Anticipating a second wave release such as a sisters / admech style update, what would people like to see? 
 

I personally would like to see the following type of units, continuing the homage to the original army while giving a modern update. 
 

Fast - another unit for the pioneers - either smaller bikes or a larger hover vehicle. 

heavy - a ‘grand battery’ unit with some artillery / longer ranged options. 
 

flyer - gyrocopter

[silverstu]

I'm more of a collector than a gamer- I'm hoping we might get a limited ed character model at Christmas and probably a killteam set early next year [possibly with the designs being like the old school squats featured in the book artwork as freelancers. My thinking is the other figures in the artwork are all from the current range.]

I'd love the pioneers on foot as scouts and a heavy trike/hover vehicle.

A battle robot - either iron Kin or CoG.

Maybe another exo suit variant? 

I think a battle standard is likely and maybe a guild master model. 

[Cyrox]

Some sort of Lord of War, perhaps it could be a vehicle or large suit/robot?

I'm expecting a flyer as one can be seen on the codex cover and on the interior box from the limited edition army set

Some sort of infiltration/sneaky unit

There's a mention in the codex of the Hekaton pulling armoured cars/trailers, so that could be a thing too.

Maybe another character

 

[Inso]

I'd like to see a "dreadnought" of some description and a full boxed set of 10 Irnkyn warriors :) .

Land train!!!!

[SpaceDwalin]

Bikes/trikes with wheels. 

Thudd gun reimagined.

Airships/hoverships.

And agree with others: Dreadnaught equivalents and big robots.

And all dwarfy/runey. And beards*.

*but maybe not on the big robots.

[Remain_Indoors]

A Hearthkyn loadout that allows for bolt pistols and CCWs. It's really peculiar that there are enough parts to load out the entire squad with a bolt pistol and plasma knife, but no loadout for that.

[Lord Marshal]

Hearthkyn 'Breachers' - fancy shields, short ranged/melee weapons.

I'd also take any other infantry Troop unit.

 

[Malakithe]

Probably something with flying. Flying fortress. 

And def some dwarfy battlesuits. T'au battlesuits are on the side of nimble and elegant while I imagine a Votann version would be more like dreadnaughts, bulky, armored, slow

[Karhedron]

What do I want? This should cover it. 

[Pacific81]

I have to say modern plastic production capability means a lot of that is possible and GW would be fools not to make an airship or landtrain at least. They could sell the train engine kit for £70-80 and then additional box cars of different varieties for £30 each, and probably sell tons of them.

Although for me, like anything super-heavy size and up, it belongs on an Epic/6-8mm games board and not a 40k scale one for the most part.

[SpaceDwalin]

Space Gotrek!

[Anticontrarian]

Just give me a Land Train! I started playing in '95, and the two things I've always wanted in 40k were Knights and Land Trains.

 

Have the front be basically a slightly beefed-up Land Fortress, then all the mid-carriages just being like a Hekaton with the front/back removed.

One with a single big gun turret, one with four mid-sized guns, one with transport capacity and a few of the "ball turret" guns from the HLF.

Maybe an artillery carriage as well?

 

 

[Kelborn]

Votann Avatar Mechy thing

A "real" tank for the heavy punch

Some additional characters

Big Mech/ Dreadnaught controlled by the consciousness of deceased Kin or the artificial equivalent

[Orpheus108]

It has to be the land train and the mega cannon. Both those in epic were great fun to play. 

The airship could be done east from gw as they have the AoS airships, some extra modelling and done.

The trikes would have been great wheeled aswell as the heavy trikes.

I remember the land train and collosus had void shields too. The land train had void shields, one for each carriage you added to it.

[Chaplain Lucifer]

Gyro copter and a dreadnought equivalent. 

Also: Ironkin

[Guest Triszin]

deodorant tank.

 

LOTS of IRON KIN!

 

Iron kin squads that are inverted.

- i.e. 9 iron kin, 1 squat kin

 

a "living ancestor" golem robot.

 

the Wedge light cruiser flyer.

If they release a Xmas special model, I'd love to see Bugman as LoV.

[Chaplain Lucifer]

I know I asked for Ironkin, but taking a good look at the Hearthkin models I noticed something quite unique. Some legs are clearly robotic (the ankle is thin and the boot toes and shape are different) plus  the helmet that pairs with that leg is usually closed or just like a COG unit, so actually in a regular squad we already have Ironkin there!! Subtle little detail!

Lore articles I read mention the Fleshkin replacing body part with mechanical bits.

[Redcomet]

A ornihopter, land train super heavy and more exosuits

Warrior squads do come with Ironkin bits already, yeah. The robotic body parts are for any type of Votann though, not just Ironkin.

[sibomots]

Black library.  A bit of speculative fiction.  

I'd like to see more named special models.

An actual Votann?

Artwork.  

Paints with Votannic names.

 

[Sawtooth]

More vehicles, maybe a Cyclops for heavy support and a Colossus for a lord of War. Another Troop type, perhaps miners with some kind of mining shenanigans. Thudd guns of some variety.

[Lemondish]

I'm kinda hoping some of these unit names are themes they can expand on.

We've got a bunch of labels for different types of units, like Cthonian Beserks, Hearthkyn Warriors, Hernkyn Pioneers, and Einhyr describing both the Champion and Hearthguard, with Brôkhyr for the Iron-Master and Thunderkyn.

I'd love a Hernkyn unit on foot acting as scouts, snipers, or saboteurs. A Cthonian drill of sorts would be a cool unit, leaning into the mining guild connection. I imagine there's room to lean into all of these different themes, like to have a unit in heavy hazardous environment suits, or a pirate/mercenary unit, or everything in between.

But more than anything I want a gyrocopter.
