Now we know what new unit we're getting in 10th edition, I'm making this thread so we can speculate on Next Edition's content for us without obstructing the 10th Edition Thread and 10th Ed Detachment predictions.

 

To start us off, I'll post this wishlist:

  • Rubric Havocs
    Probably not actually named Rubric Havocs, but as the main "Shooty CSM" it seems weird we don't have a dedicated "Heavy Weapons Infantry" unit. Sure, all Rubric units can carry a Soulreaper, but there's more options than that for a proper heavy weapon squad to use such as Missile Launchers since we only have 1 source of Anti-Vehicle in the whole army.
     
  • Khenetai Occult
    The TSons Assault Squad from HH. Probably would be reimagined somewhat in a move to 40k, but the idea of a Slow but Tanky Assault Squad is an idea that already has a functional presence in 40k (see: All Melee Deathguard). A Marine tier Melee threat is something our army lacks, even tho any version we get probably wouldn't be Battleline to maintain our "Shooty CSM" status.
     
  • Ammitara Occult
    This is a Scout/Sniper unit. Obv Scout Armour wouldn't work for our dusty bois, but it could be reimagined as a unit of Sorcerers using their Psychic power to enhance their Sniper shots (or we get floating Scout Breastplates with Sniper Rifles which would be very funny).
     
  • Rubric Praetor
    A non-psyker character for TSons is an odd choice, but having a Chaos Lord Equivalent in the army would be a neat force multiplier and would be a decent chassis to get some variant of the old "All is Dust" rule back into the army in the form of an attached unit buff.
     
  • Numerologist
    TSons Technomancer. Probably a bit less useful now that we're probably losing our Tanks (<- delete if this doesn't happen), tho Land Raiders, Rhinos and those Robots would all benefit from a Techmarine analogue.
     
  • A dedicated Thousand Sons Terminator Character
    Basically a Termie Sorc variant that's not just the alt. build of a CSM unit. In terms of what to do to make them different, the existing Termie Sorc is an Anti-Vehicle character (the only source of that keyword in our army) so maybe a more Anti-Infantry character would be appropriate?
     
  • Non-Tzaangor Unique Cultists
    Yep, it's this again. Ideally some kind of Psychic Cultist unit so they can be used with our army rule.
     

If you have any comments on the above, or want to post a wishlist of your own, go ahead.
Hopefully we can manifest a proper wave for 11th.
