Real world things you’d like to see GW take inspiration from?

Just saw this again and would love to see a model based on this, maybe a deamonhost or something.

what real world things would you like to see turned into models/units?

I'd love to see something akin to the Buffel in 40K; a lightweight, mobile but sturdy open-topped transport with protection against mines.

South African counter-insurgency vehicles are pretty cool.

Looks like a Votann transport.

• The Arts and Crafts movement, particularly in the style of codexes, novels, and lore books.
• Late Antique European Cultures for Space Marines. Saxons, Goths, Huns, Franks, et cetera. Particularly the use of interlace and the animal style in artistic flourishes such as shoulderpad trim or other such armor ornamentation.
• For White Scars, more diverse or more obvious and defined cultural influences. Chinese, Cossack, North Caucasian. 
• Praetorians for Guard.

Preferably in a Kill Team "Ork's Drift 2.0".

How about Daemon Primarch Perturabo this for a GSC Lord of War?

Id love to see 

 

more Brueghel 

 

more Hindu visual references- especially for eldar, their lore really feels like the Mahabharata.

I’d love to see a death company miniature that looks like the knight in belle dame sans merci! That painting is exactly what I imagine the black rage to manifest as. Not Horus meme, but sanguinius visions

All I know is I need more ADB black templars books in my life.

I think wheeled transports for guard would be nice, or some ifv’s. The LAV would be a nice base

We have IFVs…two of them in the codex, I think another one or two in legends.

There is the Necromunda Goliath Maulers, they're pretty close.
