Kits in direst need of replacement/updates

[Karhedron]

The Repulsor looks like a Grav Raider (even though it functions differently on the tabletop. Then there is the standard 40K version (which I still like although it is showing its age). There is also the 30K version if players prefer.

I just want them to make it exciting and interesting. We all love how the new Terminators look, but their wargear and rules less so.

Imo the plastic Spartan is the best looking and most fun vehicle that shares the Landraider DNA. It's a shame that it's a Legends unit, because it rocks. Impressive firepower, massive transport capacity, assault ramp, the works. I've used it in friendly games and I love it, I just hope the new Landraider can match it.

I love the Proteus kit. Dream to build and can be assembled to work as a 40K era Land Raider replacement if you go with the heavy bolter turret and assault ramp.

 

As mentioned in the original post I think we're long overdue a new Land Raider, but I hope it's in line with the new Terminators and doesn't go hog wild with reinventing it whole cloth. It also really doesn't need to get any bigger as it's already huge!

Land raider only needs it´s model update, like terminators had. 

Price already is big enough for it

Starting with things i want for myself because i play Drukhari and would happily buy official versions even though I have converted my own.

 

Court of the Archon 

 

Beast Pack and Beast Mistress 

 

Grotesques

 

Urien

 

Next is Catachan because of my fantasy project of GSC brood brothers force. I really like their look.

 

Custodes upscale following cues from AoS and SCE. The latter saw an amazing improvement over a relatively short period of time.

 

Get Plastic Talons vehicles, too.

 

(If usable in both HH and 40K I would start an army of these.)

 

Ork MANs need redoing. They were always too small and they don’t look good.

 

As a fan of Brian Nelson…all the weird Ork faces I don’t like.

 

Lastly, despite it paining me greatly to say anything positive about Space Marines: Grey Knights.

 

Get them into ‘Primaris scale’ without homogenising their armour. Dump the baby carrier in place of a cool, chunky dreadnought.

What more do you need? It's a great transport, arguably the one of the best in the army at the moment. I think you just want change for the sake of change

I want evolution, not just a safe rehash. That's all.

Realistically the only things I'd want changed on the base design of the Land Raider for a new kit would be Mk.IIB style sponsons (ala the now-OOP Forge World kit, itself based on the Epic minis) and MAYBE putting the heavy bolters into a slightly raised turret to clear more head-room for the assault ramp Bonus points if it's a Malcador style limited-traverse turret built into the superstructure, as A: that'd look cool and B: it'd keep the firing arc basically the same, which whilst not a rules concern anymore (much to my chagrin) would still keep some of that landship flavour/1920s design philosophy it has going on. One could even justify it that it's done that way to maximize internal space.

 

That aside, some more weapon options (Prometheus anyone?) would be golden.

I have a small DE force, including the original Court of the Archon in finescale. They're great models, but, as we all know, finescale is such a pain to work with. If they were redone in plastic, we'd see them a lot more. I do like the concept of the Court. I don't think there's anything else like it in 40K and that unique nature made it most appealing.

Praetorian guard......

I think the Praetos should be a dual kit with plastic Mordians/“parade ground Guard”.

Plastic Mordians would be great. And as IIRC the Praetorian Guard were just headswapped Mordians anyway it'd be super easy to convert even if we never got "official" ones (though a new Battle at Ork's Drift would be amazing).

The new Land Raider could be Mk.II with a sponson sprue compatible with LR Proteus to make Armoured Proteus.
