Is there anything big or small that has had a plastic kit in the past decade that you would love to see in 10mm?

Heaps- though not all of what I'd like to see has had plastic kits.

I'd like to be able to have all of my Warhammer armies accurately represented in Warmaster, which means I'd like to see more Wood Elf models (looking more similar to the WHF versions than what most companies currently make). For Orcs and Goblins I'd like common goblins on foot, squig herds (in an easier to buy format than is currently possible) and an army list that can incorporate all of the bizarre options together.

Hear, hear, regular goblins would have been nice.

Good news is that someone is working very hard on goblins , he should be making an announcement shortly .

But yes there are lots of units and armies I would really like to see in 10mm wm / fantasy .

first choice would be wood elves .

second choice demons

lots of poorly armed orcs

and of course everything else , as had  previously been said .

I've only played WH once in the last 20 years, so probably not the best person to answer this.

The only models from that game that would be cool in 10mm, are the giant spider with goblin riders - but this should be easy to scratch build. Wild Orcs would be nice, and look different to other Orcs (I think these were available as WM specials?)

I'm quite surprised that Wood Elves are wanted - I thought there was quite a few options in 10mm already for them.

Demons are quite a hole in the 10mm line - perhaps barbarian can be persuaded into a second KickStarter.

There's loads but my top 3 wishes would be:

1. "Blood Knights" Heavy Vampire Cavalry for the Vampire Counts
2.  Greatswords Elite infantry for the Empire.
3. Skaven slaves with shackles and chains, rags and spears for the Skaven

They would have to be compatible in size and appearance with the pre existing ex GW ranges of course.

There were limited edition models for both the spider riders and savage orcs- including savage orcs on boars. I agree it would be nice to have them more readily available again.

Wood elves do exist (some of the Eureka models are great), but none of them are really 'Warhammer' Wood Elves, and very few are made to be used in ranked regiments. For example, Eternal Guard have no really good 10mm versions- current units people put together are a mix of swords, spears and other odd pieces, often hard to distinguish from the 'Wardancer' units people make with the exact same castings. Even the archers- of which Eureka make a nice range- lack a visual cohesion when put in groups.

These are all good points!

The Wood Elves I honestly think are the best supplied of all experimental / fan lists.  I would use the Warspite Elves as Eternal Guard - or the plastic elves from the BOFA boxes.  That leaves the Eureka warriors to use as wardancers, even though they're not really dynamic enough.  Copplestone rangers make good Glade Guard and that leaves the Eurekea archers to make the elite Waywatchers.

David: Your vampire knights is exactly what I was thinking of! I would also love some slave orcs to use for Chaos Dwarf lists.

Everyone wants goblins that aren't night goblins, which is fair.  If they were small enough, goblins could be used for gnoblars in an ogre list as well.

There is an excellent Anachronok I saw on the French warmaster forum - made using the Warhammer goblin spider rider plastic spider.

Someone based in Siberia who is well known on these forums is working on some "Steppe Goblins" at the mo' and they look rather tasty so far!

I believe they are going to be released to the select band of gamers who frequent this forum later this year.

1 Goblin infantry - warriors, archers and spider riders.
2 Hobgoblin infantry - warriors and archers.
3 Hobgoblin bolt thrower - in fact a range of war machines without crews that could be used in various army lists.
4 Halfling hot pot.

VERY interested in the Steppe Goblins Dave!

I've got a bunch of Goblin Chariot crew slated to be used as regular Goblins. I was never a fan of the Night Goblins. A Rogue Orc Idol to proxy as a Giant, just came up with an idea for that.

White Lions, Lion Chariots and Sea Guard. The latter I have covered, just need to give them real spears. :P The former two are going to take a bit of sculpting.

Chariots and Hounds of Nurgle. The former is nearly done, have some ideas for the latter.

I guess, keep regular to this forum, and soon or late, the possibility pops up.
