What do we need in 10:ed?

The Thousand Sons should get new kits. A Psyker Dreadnought, an Automata of some sort at least.

 

@Ahzek451 A lot of that I think could happen.

 

I would be very surprised if the end goal for GW isn't to remove shared units from World Eaters/Thousand Sons/Death Guard. I would not be surprised to see ALL the following leave the Thousand Sons eventually:

 

Helbrute

Heldrake

Defiler

Forgefiend

Maulerfiend

Vindicator

Cultists

 

Given how much it is said that the AoS and 40k teams hate sharing miniatures I also wouldn't be surprised to see the Mutalith disappear. I actually think the Mutalith will be removed next year when the new codex drops. 

 

I would largely agree it is part of GW's model to remove shared units, I believe it was this thread I went on a bit of a rant saying it was GW's vision to make the chaos legions as separate as possible from their astartes loyalists kin and the GOD legions even further yet. In the end the only thing that chaos marines and space marines have in common would be power armour and origin. 

That being said, I would amend the list to retain the tracked vehicles(vindicator, rhino, land raider, predator) as holdovers from the heresy. The god legions would certainly end up with a respectable buffet of unique toys each legion has twisted/created over time, unique to only them. Which was even the case even all the way back in 2nd edition. But it would be neat if the only thing that all chaos marines shared(god included) was any holdovers from the heresy. Maintaining or even mutating/warping the classic tracked vehicles in their own ways as this is what they had when they escaped to the warp. Which would be fitting to mirror all the newer primaris grav vehicles. Assuming loyalists astartes eventually lose access to all the classic non-primaris first born vehicles. 

We started with the same vehicles with the difference being one had spikes and the other didn't. Now imagine a hi-tech, sleek and modernized repulser vs. a warped and twisted ancient chaos land raider infused with daemonic energies.

One of my secret hopes for all the Cult Legions: new vehicle upgrade sprues, specific to their aesthetics.

A million times yes, I just don't have hope GW is doing this. The good news is, see a need fill a need, there are some 3d printed sources on etsy you can look for that scratches this itch.
