Figs you'd like to see made!

[Tubehead]

Okay, fun question:
If you could have anything, a new single figure or a complete range of figs done, what would you want to see released?

Rogue Trader era style IG Rough Riders. With those Anzac / Roosevelt Rough Rider model hats.

You could start with looking at Victoria Miniatures she has a great range of IG style figures including https://victoriaminiatures.com/collections/heads/products/slouch-hat-heads-x-10

Cool. The 2E army list says that Rough Riders can be equipped with flamers. It would be quite a spectacle to see some flamethrowers used from horseback at full gallop.
Would need to be mindful of the wind direction though...

Whoa, I'd like to see them do that myself.

I would happily kill for someone to expand on the slotta-era Slann. As much as I love and collect the original models, I have to hack them up to avoid creating single figure monopose units, as I hate them. If I had the money, I'd employ a sculptor to create variants of all the models in the army list, as well as a few other I've created for my homebrew list.

There's the Tenoch range which is nice, and provides some great human slaves, but the Tenoch themselves are just too Lizard-like to me, they don't look Amphibian enough. Most of the other ranges I've seen are far too cartoony and just don't fit in with the existing range.

It's not the Perrys, but I like the modular Imperial Dwarven cavalry that TAG do.

Is there anything you could do with the Lizardmen range (or whatever they are called now in Age of Sigmar?)

I would love some more of the original, Kev Adams (I think?) 40k Orks. I like the Brian Nelson ones that came later too, but there is something more comical (and less savage) about the original ones. I think they probably tied in better with the Ork background as mercs and raiders in 1st and 2nd edition. They are just so difficult to get hold of 2nd hand these days for a reasonable price, and especially as they had those plastic arms which everyone seems to have lost or painted over in 14 layers of paint!

I use them for accessories, weapons and glyphs etc, but the bodies are just too 'Lizardy'!

As regards overpainted plastic arms, Dettol removes paint from plastic models without damaging it, just on the offchance you didn't know already.

Good grief yes, I second that emotion!
Space Orcs work best with a slight dash of goofiness about them. The later ones progressively lost that and it was gone with the arrival of Gorkamorka. That was such a flop and I have to wonder if it was the orc sculpts that threw everyone. If you think about it, it would have worked better with those original Kev Adams sculpts because they radiated the kind of haphazard fun that the Gorkamorka ruleset was meant to capture. With the tough humorless-looking boyz Gorkamorka just appeared an oddity.
We definitely need a new range of RT-style Kev Adams Space Orc Boyz!

 

[Sleepysod]

That dwarf general riding a board? More Jes Godwin ogres?

To be honest there are quite a lot of fan sculpts that are out there of RT stuff that id like to see, just difficult to get hold of: that siege robot, the ymgarl genestealer. And Slann are well catered for through Diehard miniatures.

How about a family of Jokaero? there was only ever a couple of jokaero sculpts done - I would like to see more variety in the aliens of 40K

Thanks dieselmonkey - I have heard of that but haven't had the balls to try it on any of my miniatures yet.

Will try it on something more disposable than RT-era ork arms!

I'm sure I remember some Kickstarter not that long ago (maybe a year or two?) with some Sci Fi Orks. I'm not sure if they were made by Kev, or at least of a very similar sculpting style. I will have to have a search..

I’d like a platoon’s worth or so of Imperial Guard sculpted by John Pickford to hold Olivia’s coat.

She could use some tupperware for that head too.

And I'd buy that platoon!

I bought them all, but Diehard Slann are like twice the size of Citadel Slann. They're lovely sculpts, but they're modern GW size-wise and so useless as anything but the largest of Bull Slann or as character models.

Yes, they tend to be limited runs so I think you need to pay attention to what’s happening on Facebook & be quite quick off the mark. I don’t, but I know an addict that does.

Ouch, I felt that pain from over here... Why the hell...!?

As long as they've got Lemmy, what's there to worry over? <(๑^ O^๑)╯*･゜ﾟ･*☆

Yup, and the Katsina ones, too. Only useful as huge Bull Slann. No one makes any kind of Slann models that fit in with the original ones.

That's very odd. These are frog guys; they don't even need to be 32mm to fit in with current 'heroic scale' humans.

The original Slaan were what, squarely 25mm, right? And also generally inspired by D&D Bullywugs, which weren't as tall as a normal human anyway. Then, why on earth...?

The guys they have sculpting over there are veterans skilled enough to be able to plan for this kind of thing, so they must at some point have made the decision to go 32mm in spite of the fact that they are consciously marketing to the Oldhammer crowd. Weird.
What's next, switching to resin?

Incidentally, that's one thing I'd like as far as figs I'd like to see made; a warband of really nice metal retro-flavour Bullywugs with turtle shell shields and Warduke as general.
