These are all pretty good, but it'd be really nice to see Renegades and Heretics returned from the Legends Dimension they've been banished to. They've had a pretty grim history of terrible support from GW, despite all the books and lore they show up in.

Fun fact: rough riders weren't actually a unit type in 1st Edition - they were an equipment upgrade you could buy for a platoon. Another equipment upgrade you could buy for a platoon was jump-packs. _As far as I can tell, there was no rule to stop you equipping a platoon with both horses and jump-packs._
Now I'm just imagining a whole platoon of Kriegers dropping out of the sky, crushing a load of traitor guard under their horses and Market Gardening the survivors.
There's a nod to the squig catapult in the new Orks codex: there's a relic stikkbomb that's apparently just a buzzer squig hive that you toss at your enemies. In the fluff, you can only use it once per battle because it takes a while to gather up all the buzzer squigs and get them all back into the bomb.
The Craftworlders are always helping defend exodite worlds in the lore, so maybe as a token of their appreciation, some particularly bold Exodite Warriors take their saurian mounts with them to aid the Craftworlders, and repay the debts they owe?
Fits the massive ego thing the Exodites were flavored as having. "I cannot let this debt go unpaid" or some craft worlds scooping them up to save them from the expanding eye of terror (and to help replenish the population a little)
I would love to see some of the lost Tyranid units come back. Shrikes, The Doom of Malan'tai, The Parasite of Mortrex. And New Tyranids. I remember when we had New Tyranids. Those were good times.
I'd love to see the returning varient models (shrikes, flying rippers, leapy spine fist gaunts) or more gaunt variety and specialisation in genersl like 3rd ed with the biomorphs being opened up to all non specialist creatures. For a living tide of small creatures to make you waste your ammo they've turned into a few MCs and surprise genestealers. Maybe if they get a redo for kill team we might see some specialist biomorphs again.
Best I can do you is a Primaris Lieutenant riding a tamed Tyranid, thereby shitting all over established lore. Like humanizing an alien intelligence and making them get angry and seek revenge.
honestly they just need lore updates to fit. the old lore where they were humans turned into necrons never made a lot of sense logistically or technologically for them. but given how much the Old Ones relied on psychic tech, there is a lot of potential for the necrons to have developed anti-psyker weapons during the war in heaven, including troops that could negate psychic powers on the battlefield. so these would just be elite Necrontyr rather than human untouchables. they could easily leave the old lore as some incorrect hypothesis by the Inquisition. their absence in the interveining editions could be given as these troops being very rare and precious (after all, their old versions didn't have 'i'll be back'/regen-protocols) so they only get broken out in extreme need, and with all the demons and warp storms around after the 13th black crusade, they're showing up more often.
"rough riders got relegated to legends?" fully didnt realise this was an old video til that line, oops! on the bright side, rough riders have come back since!
Necron Pariahs, anti psyker infantry. I get that they are very close to.lychguard, but I would tweak them to be faster and not as tough, and give them some form of anti psyker aura and weapon.
When Indomitus came out, one of the things they noted in the livestream was that the Outriders were originally going to be jetbikes, but... I wanna say it was Jervis Johnson... Just thought regular bikers looked cooler. They were legitimately a grot's winkie away from existing again. ALSO! Sure, the Squig Katapult was good, but the Hop-Splat Gun fired chainshot with rubber cannonballs that bounced around the battlefield randomly until it hit terrain or the board edge, almost certainly killing everything it travelled over. THAT needs to come back :D
I would LOVE for Rough Riders to be a proper thing again, mainly because I kit-bashed a full squad of Cadian style riders and only ever got to use them once. :(
2E Codex: Chaos also had Beastmen, Minotaurs and Trolls as units in Daemon World army list (page 136), and there were Citadel Miniatures Rogue Trader 40k "Minotaurs" minis appearing on the Easter 89 Sale Flyer as limited release.
Aos beasts of Chaos is rumoured to be one of the next battletomes. What's better than selling great new models for one game? Selling for multiple games. There's therefore a possibility of beasts, beastmen and others being part of a future Chaos codex...
I would really love for the legion of the damned to get a new look, they're such a 40k and metal subfaction and at least an upgrade sprue, character and supplement would be more than enough
Elysian drop trooper sentinels with multi melta and tauros variants. The venator with twin linked lascannons in particular would be a really good fast scaput vehicle/tank hunter
Plastic Tauros in general would be cool. A more combat focused alternative to the Sentinel if you still wanted ludicrous speed without jumping to profile pools like the hellhound.
I would rather have a vehicle based off of the centaur chassis. Fitts the guard aesthetic better. And lorewise would be a better vehicle seeing as the centaur is already 110kmph on roads and 70kmph offroad. And tahts just the basic version with a small engine in the tracks. One with a proper engine replacing the Hull gunner would be faster and/or allow more armour.
You ever hear of the tabletop RPG Kill Sector? It's a modern rules-lite pointbuy system with tons and tons of character creation options (the core rulebook has something like >1000, despite being less than 300 pages). It's basically like if Rogue Trader remained as a separate thing from 40K, kept its quirky grab-bag sci-fi charm, and never stopped expanding and expanding. I think you guys would absolutely get a kick out of it. Plus you can make just about anything with the rules - wouldn't be surprised if it was super easy to convert a bunch of GW characters over into Kill Sector.
I also love the sheer chaotic energy of, even after needing to go through the trouble to summon the dude to the battlefield, still having to roll a dice every so often just to determine whether or not the DOOMRIDER will suddenly decide to ride straight back off the battlefield to go somewhere else, seemingly because he just randomly kinda felt like it in the moment. TFW you are just so full of chaos that even your fellow forces of chaos have to periodically stop and politely ask you to just be a little bit more orderly and predictable please.
I'd like to see a return of the Eldar Corsairs - but in 30k, not 40k. Yes, I know Xenos isn't meant to be a big part of the Horus Heresy, but that arc's slowly coming to an end. When we finally move into some post-Heresy releases, it would be good to see Corsairs come in as one of the factions.
@@mariusdragoe2888 The necrontyr lost an interstellar war against the most powerful psykers in the setting so badly they had to hibernate and hide out for millions of years. They would absolutely kidnap a few imperial blanks to make a powerful unit against psykers, if only to make sure a few old ones can't turn back up to push their stupid metal faces in again.
Would the two of you consider doing a History of Squig models like you did with the Space Marines, Necrons, and Chaos Marines? I've always found Squigs fascinating in the Warhammer universe, and I think it would make for an interesting watch!
If we're nostalgia wish listing.... - Eldar Bonesinger: It's a sweet model with the important role of creating/healing wraith constructs - Sonic Dreadnought: Sonic weapons are cool, dreadnoughts are cool, the sonic dreadnought is super cool. - Da Red Gobbo: But as an HQ, I want this beloved gretchin character yesterday - Expanded Kroot units: We used to have a Kroot T-Rex!! How could they NOT have brought this back yet! And...if we count EPIC...can we get the Eldar's Bright Stallions? (Centaur wraith knights)
You can't lie to me- I know the 8 is because of khorne and not because it's just a fun youtube video that is genuinely informative and interesting to watch. Good work.
The Imperial Guard were great back in the day. I had (have somewhere) some IG Command squads, IG Tactical squads, IG Heavy Weapons squads, IG Assault squads. The Assault squads had jump pack, and two of the following - shield, hand flamer, laspistol, bolt pistol, and/or chainsword from what I remember. Other than the six man command squad, all the others were ten man squads. The other thing that I have, which took a lot of work to get, is an Eldar fusion Space Marine squad from the original Rouge Trader erra.
I would love to see Tarous trucks come back from legends! An for them to be able to be used by IG, GSC, as well as traitor guard. Also want traitor guards to come back in a huge way!
Beastmen recently just returned... and rough riders too. Honestly the main thing we need back in order to have most of what we had in Rouge Trader are: a) Comissar training squads b) Furibundus dreadnaughts c) EXODITES
The combination of unexpectedly seeing Hiroshi Fujioka's face in that film clip near the beginning and the little Exodite Dragon Knights song fused in my brain into some unholy space-elf version of the Kamen Rider Dragon Knight song by the end of watching this video...
I know that numbered lists are a youtube algorithm thing and kind of a meme. But honestly I appreciate the amount of research and detail y'all put into your lists. It adds authenticity and care to your videos.
I’d like to see the eldar character Fireheart return. Riding a Viper with a big spear and his hair flying behind him is a great image. I had a bad conversion of one in 3rd...
I honestly want the old style robots back for the Orks purely for the hilarity that comes with the idea of Ork "programming". 1. "GO!" 2. "GO FASTA!" 3 "STOP, YA' GIT!" 4. "DAKKA DA 'OOMIE/POINTY-EARED GIT/SPIKEY BOY' etc. 5. "DAKKA WHUTEVA AIN'T GREEN!" 6. "DAKKA EVERYTHIN'!" 7. "STOP DAKKA'IN ME YA STOOPID METAL GROT!" 8. "TURN 'DAT WAY!" 9. "TURN DA' OVVA WAY!" 10. "ZOG IT, I'LL DO IT MESELF!" Upon rolling a 1 out of a D6, the robot reports an "unit has executed an illegal command" and the Mek shoots it for fear of getting in trouble with the warboss.
I don't know if they'll feature on your list, and they're not necessarily a unit I'd like to see return, but they're a unit I'd like to know something, *anything* about: the Death Eagles. If I'm remembering correctly, they were three mono-pose metal miniatures in the first volume of the Citadel Catalogue that appeared to be early Mk. VII Space Marines; they were listed distinct from the (predominantly) beaky Space Marines in that catalogue, so I *assume* that they had different lore or rules or *something* - but I've never seen them mentioned outside of that catalogue 🤷🏻♂️
Yeah, they were the first break from the beaky design for SM and a precursor to the modern tactical marine in terms of design. They didn't have different rules or anything, it was just back then GW would release models because people like they build paint and collect them, not just for a game. Death Eagles got some lore but it's fairly sparse, and they got a completely new color scheme.
For the stealth wraith units you could call them Wraith Ghosts (i am aware is a bit silly with two undead names but it makes as much sesnse as other 40k names)
On the subject of DOOMRIDER, for a good direction to take them please look up '6 Juggernaut Star Scours The Universe's from "Kill Six Billion Demons". That kinda vibe blended with 40k, especially for the bike.
> sci-fi walkers and tanks Cavalry is, basically, motorized rifles but without motors. In WW2 (and, sometimes, even now) horse was a way to quick relocation of your troops (they weren't fighting on horseback. Mostly). In WW1 horseback fighting was more often.
I know it's a space marine (well space wolf actually) but I'd love to see the lone wolf make a return to their codex as an actual unit. Love the idea of just throwing them at the biggest thing you can find
With both the rumor engines and the forum leaks suggesting that we are getting new chaos bikers, it might be cool to see doom rider return as a cool HQ.
04:20 (lol) bring them back under the ynnari banner! No lore massaging required, since the ynnari are all about uniting the four kinds of Eldar, and dragon knights absolutely seem the sort to go questing for magic swords. It would be a great way to make Ynnari 'pop' a bit as compared to just an eldar soup, and if interest is high GW can gradually expand it into an exodite range (probably not though)
Brilliant video! The intro gave me a big laugh. :-) I agree with all your proposals Given that the rules for your list prevent squats qualifying as a suggestion, I'm not sure what else I can think of. One might be be to resurrect Imperial Pattern Space Marine armour, complete with the disintegration weapons seen on the LE2 Imperial Space Marine and the other pre RTB01 Space Marine models. Technically this stuff was part of the game as the 2016 30th anniversary Imperial Space Marine model included rules (that are now relegated to Legends). Plus Imperial Pattern Space Marine armour and disintegration weaponry got called out in the current issue of White Dwarf, so surprisingly it is still canon! Another idea holds for me a particular note of nostalgia, as it originally had rules in the first White Dwarf I ever bought, 1989's issue 116. That included the Genestealer Chaos Cult army list. This dates from before the time when the genestealers were folded into the tyranid faction and at the time they were able to make deals with the Chaos powers. So it'd be cool if genestealer cults could fall to Chaos (presumably severing them from the overall tyranid hivemind), with rules and models for mutated and possessed genestealers and hybrids added to support this. Also, holy hell, I'm used to the frightening prices that Rogue Trader era Space Marines can fetch on eBay, but the prices for tinboyz and runtbots are pretty damn steep too!
@@CatherinePuce Yeah, they could fill a role that is similar to the cultists, but perhaps worse BS and higher S and/or T to show their animalistic side. They could be a "better" choice for close combat and still quite cheap, but lack objective secure (maybe a special rule that they can't hold objectives at all to reflect their unruly nature).
Mercenaries for xenos (except tyranids as that would just be silly and gsc could have them) would balance against the agents of the imperium offerings, though theyre a bit of a afterthought and beyond some interesting models I don't think very many bother with them.
Huh, for years I wondered what those sorta Space Marine-looking squat armored Ork units were, thought they were an armored variant with weirdly astartes-like design. Especially when the image they were in was involvin' Blood Axes.
I would like if the inquisition got their different tyes of Acolyte back, like savants and what not from 7th, rather than all just being identical troopers
Runtbotz honestly seem like they could fit as a one off wargear option like the grot oilers, ammo runts, and bomb squigs or an option to replace a model in a gretchin squad giving the unit an invuln save.
Oh, I've got loads of these. Imperial Guard Conscripts and Rough Riders, Necron Pariahs, basically all the old Ork vehicles that got taken out at the beginning of 8th, Proper Looted Wagons. Actually, on a slightly different point, I'd love to see things with weird rules to get those rules back, like how you mention the rules for Doomrider or the Ork robots. The Shock Attack Gun is one such thing, as is the Avatar of Khaine's immunity to Flamers.
@@frostedbutts4340 Oh, they still have rules? My apologies, I've never been a proper Guard player. I assumed they were a relic of the Guard Platoon days of third and fourth.

I do believe Kasrkin get a page in a codex or supplement for 9th edition. Squats will probably end up as a kill team :(
@@svenv460 I WANT TO BELIEVE!
Hope is kindled!
there are no words to describe how *badly* I want new kasrkin models, in plastic (almost as much as plastic vahallans)
I miss the heavy armour look and those old cadian respriator helmets
Fun fact: rough riders weren't actually a unit type in 1st Edition - they were an equipment upgrade you could buy for a platoon.
Another equipment upgrade you could buy for a platoon was jump-packs.
_As far as I can tell, there was no rule to stop you equipping a platoon with both horses and jump-packs._
Now I'm just imagining a whole platoon of Kriegers dropping out of the sky, crushing a load of traitor guard under their horses and Market Gardening the survivors.
Jump packs on horses.... is there a cowboy themed Imperial Guard faction?
There's a nod to the squig catapult in the new Orks codex: there's a relic stikkbomb that's apparently just a buzzer squig hive that you toss at your enemies. In the fluff, you can only use it once per battle because it takes a while to gather up all the buzzer squigs and get them all back into the bomb.
Fuck, I had forgotten about Doom Rider. Hell yeah. I'd love to see him come back.
Jet bikes being teased for 2023, Rough Riders got added back into the Guard Codex....I'm holding out for those Exo-dite Dragon-Knights.
I think the Exodite Dragon Knights where mentioned at the beginning of “The Infinite and The Divine”. So they’re still canon.
The Craftworlders are always helping defend exodite worlds in the lore, so maybe as a token of their appreciation, some particularly bold Exodite Warriors take their saurian mounts with them to aid the Craftworlders, and repay the debts they owe?
Fits the massive ego thing the Exodites were flavored as having. "I cannot let this debt go unpaid" or some craft worlds scooping them up to save them from the expanding eye of terror (and to help replenish the population a little)
I would love to see some of the lost Tyranid units come back. Shrikes, The Doom of Malan'tai, The Parasite of Mortrex. And New Tyranids. I remember when we had New Tyranids. Those were good times.
New Tyranids? As in getting new Tyranid models?
@@k-leb4671 Hard to believe, I know. But I was there the last time it happened.
I'd love to see the returning varient models (shrikes, flying rippers, leapy spine fist gaunts) or more gaunt variety and specialisation in genersl like 3rd ed with the biomorphs being opened up to all non specialist creatures.
For a living tide of small creatures to make you waste your ammo they've turned into a few MCs and surprise genestealers.
Maybe if they get a redo for kill team we might see some specialist biomorphs again.
Best I can do you is a Primaris Lieutenant riding a tamed Tyranid, thereby shitting all over established lore. Like humanizing an alien intelligence and making them get angry and seek revenge.
R you a happy man? With the parasite of mortrex
I’d really want to see Necron Pariahs as they went before I started playing and they looked good in dawn of war.
Same
honestly they just need lore updates to fit. the old lore where they were humans turned into necrons never made a lot of sense logistically or technologically for them. but given how much the Old Ones relied on psychic tech, there is a lot of potential for the necrons to have developed anti-psyker weapons during the war in heaven, including troops that could negate psychic powers on the battlefield. so these would just be elite Necrontyr rather than human untouchables. they could easily leave the old lore as some incorrect hypothesis by the Inquisition. their absence in the interveining editions could be given as these troops being very rare and precious (after all, their old versions didn't have 'i'll be back'/regen-protocols) so they only get broken out in extreme need, and with all the demons and warp storms around after the 13th black crusade, they're showing up more often.
"rough riders got relegated to legends?"
fully didnt realise this was an old video til that line, oops! on the bright side, rough riders have come back since!
Godfather style Genestealer Patriarch on chair.
First Squats, now Atalan Roughriders. Apollo has blessed/cursed you with foresight!
Maybe I've missed it (I'll check later) but a tutorial for that runtbot would be very cool.
Necron Pariahs, anti psyker infantry. I get that they are very close to.lychguard, but I would tweak them to be faster and not as tough, and give them some form of anti psyker aura and weapon.
I know Space Marines have and get too many units, but as a Crimson Fist fan I would like to see Alessio Cortez return as a playable unit.
2 years later and we've got Rough Riders so far. Seven more to go!
When Indomitus came out, one of the things they noted in the livestream was that the Outriders were originally going to be jetbikes, but... I wanna say it was Jervis Johnson... Just thought regular bikers looked cooler. They were legitimately a grot's winkie away from existing again.
ALSO! Sure, the Squig Katapult was good, but the Hop-Splat Gun fired chainshot with rubber cannonballs that bounced around the battlefield randomly until it hit terrain or the board edge, almost certainly killing everything it travelled over. THAT needs to come back :D
I would LOVE for Rough Riders to be a proper thing again, mainly because I kit-bashed a full squad of Cadian style riders and only ever got to use them once. :(
My melta-bomb wielding pig riders from Lost & the Damned commiserate…
Bring back a few more of the old imperial guard factions - Tallarn desert raiders, Mordians etc. Tallarns had their own rough riders as well
If doomrider comes back, a box set with him and a chaos force vs wazdakka and an Ork force would be perfect.
Would need extra rules for how they fight when they're both in the Warp
They need to bring back The Great Knarloc. I miss that derpy green dino boy
I would love to see more loyalist beastmen, I even built an entire tempestus scion force of them using victoria mintures legs and heads.
2E Codex: Chaos also had Beastmen, Minotaurs and Trolls as units in Daemon World army list (page 136), and there were Citadel Miniatures Rogue Trader 40k "Minotaurs" minis appearing on the Easter 89 Sale Flyer as limited release.
Aos beasts of Chaos is rumoured to be one of the next battletomes. What's better than selling great new models for one game? Selling for multiple games. There's therefore a possibility of beasts, beastmen and others being part of a future Chaos codex...
I would really love for the legion of the damned to get a new look, they're such a 40k and metal subfaction and at least an upgrade sprue, character and supplement would be more than enough
That Runbotz is amazing.
I'd love to see the lost Tyranid models/units come back, especially Shrikes and the Doom of Malantai.
Happy to return from the future to let you all know rough riders are BACK!!!
I was literally about to get in the shower but ill just watch this real quick
Ditto!
Glad I'm not the only one.
Elysian drop trooper sentinels with multi melta and tauros variants. The venator with twin linked lascannons in particular would be a really good fast scaput vehicle/tank hunter
Plastic Tauros in general would be cool. A more combat focused alternative to the Sentinel if you still wanted ludicrous speed without jumping to profile pools like the hellhound.
I would rather have a vehicle based off of the centaur chassis. Fitts the guard aesthetic better. And lorewise would be a better vehicle seeing as the centaur is already 110kmph on roads and 70kmph offroad. And tahts just the basic version with a small engine in the tracks. One with a proper engine replacing the Hull gunner would be faster and/or allow more armour.
I discovered 40k with Dawn of War, so I really want the Pariahs to be back.
Ghost Warriors niche (and aesthetic) has been taken by the Striking Scorpions. That said, I still want my little elf spooky bots back.
You ever hear of the tabletop RPG Kill Sector? It's a modern rules-lite pointbuy system with tons and tons of character creation options (the core rulebook has something like >1000, despite being less than 300 pages). It's basically like if Rogue Trader remained as a separate thing from 40K, kept its quirky grab-bag sci-fi charm, and never stopped expanding and expanding. I think you guys would absolutely get a kick out of it. Plus you can make just about anything with the rules - wouldn't be surprised if it was super easy to convert a bunch of GW characters over into Kill Sector.
Squig Katapult was also included in the Feral Orks army list from Epic: Swordwind (2004)
I also love the sheer chaotic energy of, even after needing to go through the trouble to summon the dude to the battlefield, still having to roll a dice every so often just to determine whether or not the DOOMRIDER will suddenly decide to ride straight back off the battlefield to go somewhere else, seemingly because he just randomly kinda felt like it in the moment. TFW you are just so full of chaos that even your fellow forces of chaos have to periodically stop and politely ask you to just be a little bit more orderly and predictable please.
Turns out it wasn't Space Marine jetbikes that we got but instead, new rough riders.
I'm glad I never had the opportunity to make an entire army of squat tinboys.
I'd like to see a return of the Eldar Corsairs - but in 30k, not 40k. Yes, I know Xenos isn't meant to be a big part of the Horus Heresy, but that arc's slowly coming to an end. When we finally move into some post-Heresy releases, it would be good to see Corsairs come in as one of the factions.
This could do with a part two! Or a dedicated "Special characters(/special _rules_ ) no longer in 40K" video.
Great content!
At the twilight of 9th and the dawn of 10th, surprisingly it was the horse mounted cavalry that made its way back, and not the bikes.
Pariahs are the best. I miss them so much
Nocrons bothering to kidnap humans to turn into soldiers always seemed pretty lame to me
@@mariusdragoe2888 The necrontyr lost an interstellar war against the most powerful psykers in the setting so badly they had to hibernate and hide out for millions of years. They would absolutely kidnap a few imperial blanks to make a powerful unit against psykers, if only to make sure a few old ones can't turn back up to push their stupid metal faces in again.
Coming from the future, and surprisingly, it wasn't the space marine jetbike! Roughrider enjoyers rejoice
Would the two of you consider doing a History of Squig models like you did with the Space Marines, Necrons, and Chaos Marines? I've always found Squigs fascinating in the Warhammer universe, and I think it would make for an interesting watch!
amazing that within the few units that actually came back in less than three years, jetbikes did not.
That opening one liner with the drawn topic killed me.
Love you both and though you'll probably never make it I'd love a video about "THE TOPIC"
I would love to see tinboyz mocking (using memes?) all of the other factions.
having not played in a few years my full platoon of rough riders was equally shocked to hear they were made redundant--erm i mean, 'legends'
I would love to have the eldar bonesinger back. I just think it's funky.
If we're nostalgia wish listing....
- Eldar Bonesinger: It's a sweet model with the important role of creating/healing wraith constructs
- Sonic Dreadnought: Sonic weapons are cool, dreadnoughts are cool, the sonic dreadnought is super cool.
- Da Red Gobbo: But as an HQ, I want this beloved gretchin character yesterday
- Expanded Kroot units: We used to have a Kroot T-Rex!! How could they NOT have brought this back yet!
And...if we count EPIC...can we get the Eldar's Bright Stallions? (Centaur wraith knights)
You can't lie to me- I know the 8 is because of khorne and not because it's just a fun youtube video that is genuinely informative and interesting to watch.
Good work.
The Imperial Guard were great back in the day. I had (have somewhere) some IG Command squads, IG Tactical squads, IG Heavy Weapons squads, IG Assault squads. The Assault squads had jump pack, and two of the following - shield, hand flamer, laspistol, bolt pistol, and/or chainsword from what I remember. Other than the six man command squad, all the others were ten man squads. The other thing that I have, which took a lot of work to get, is an Eldar fusion Space Marine squad from the original Rouge Trader erra.
I would love to see Tarous trucks come back from legends! An for them to be able to be used by IG, GSC, as well as traitor guard. Also want traitor guards to come back in a huge way!
Beastmen recently just returned... and rough riders too. Honestly the main thing we need back in order to have most of what we had in Rouge Trader are:
a) Comissar training squads
b) Furibundus dreadnaughts
c) EXODITES
The combination of unexpectedly seeing Hiroshi Fujioka's face in that film clip near the beginning and the little Exodite Dragon Knights song fused in my brain into some unholy space-elf version of the Kamen Rider Dragon Knight song by the end of watching this video...
I like how the Rogue Trader Ork misspelling for Kastelan is closer to the current version than the Imperial one from the time was.
I know that numbered lists are a youtube algorithm thing and kind of a meme. But honestly I appreciate the amount of research and detail y'all put into your lists. It adds authenticity and care to your videos.
8:34 Funny that you mention them, because I'm currently kitbashing a squad of Imperial Guard beastmen.
I’d like to see the eldar character Fireheart return. Riding a Viper with a big spear and his hair flying behind him is a great image. I had a bad conversion of one in 3rd...
if you do make another runtbot please please please make a tutorial. i would do horrible horrible horrible things to make that happen
I second this.
It's been so long since I played 40k that I didn't realise any of these had gone away.
I honestly want the old style robots back for the Orks purely for the hilarity that comes with the idea of Ork "programming".
1. "GO!"
2. "GO FASTA!"
3 "STOP, YA' GIT!"
4. "DAKKA DA 'OOMIE/POINTY-EARED GIT/SPIKEY BOY' etc.
5. "DAKKA WHUTEVA AIN'T GREEN!"
6. "DAKKA EVERYTHIN'!"
7. "STOP DAKKA'IN ME YA STOOPID METAL GROT!"
8. "TURN 'DAT WAY!"
9. "TURN DA' OVVA WAY!"
10. "ZOG IT, I'LL DO IT MESELF!"
Upon rolling a 1 out of a D6, the robot reports an "unit has executed an illegal command" and the Mek shoots it for fear of getting in trouble with the warboss.
Saw the jetbike in the thumbnail and started laughing immediately.
Idk if theyre a thing in current 40k, but id love to see the beaky marines return. Basinets are top tier
If you like em they fit fine on the new kits. Raven Guard kit still has some.
@@frostedbutts4340 im currently running 3d printed old school beakys in my homebrew. Ill probably do that if i ever play the actual game tho
I don't know if they'll feature on your list, and they're not necessarily a unit I'd like to see return, but they're a unit I'd like to know something, *anything* about: the Death Eagles. If I'm remembering correctly, they were three mono-pose metal miniatures in the first volume of the Citadel Catalogue that appeared to be early Mk. VII Space Marines; they were listed distinct from the (predominantly) beaky Space Marines in that catalogue, so I *assume* that they had different lore or rules or *something* - but I've never seen them mentioned outside of that catalogue 🤷🏻♂️
Yeah, they were the first break from the beaky design for SM and a precursor to the modern tactical marine in terms of design. They didn't have different rules or anything, it was just back then GW would release models because people like they build paint and collect them, not just for a game. Death Eagles got some lore but it's fairly sparse, and they got a completely new color scheme.
"Have i seen a space marine codex lately?" More like, "Have i ever seen a space marine codex?"
Rough Riders and IG Beastmen are things I’ve wanted since I started collecting models last year
For the stealth wraith units you could call them Wraith Ghosts (i am aware is a bit silly with two undead names but it makes as much sesnse as other 40k names)
What about.. okay hear me out here.. we had Eldar Wraiths yeah? Well what about... Eldar Wraith WRAITHS?
On the subject of DOOMRIDER, for a good direction to take them please look up '6 Juggernaut Star Scours The Universe's from "Kill Six Billion Demons". That kinda vibe blended with 40k, especially for the bike.
> sci-fi walkers and tanks
Cavalry is, basically, motorized rifles but without motors. In WW2 (and, sometimes, even now) horse was a way to quick relocation of your troops (they weren't fighting on horseback. Mostly). In WW1 horseback fighting was more often.
Amazingly out of all these old units, the rough riders were the ones we got back
Heck Yeah - Ghost Warriors! I saw one of you posting about this on twitter.
And in the end the horse man came back
I know it's a space marine (well space wolf actually) but I'd love to see the lone wolf make a return to their codex as an actual unit. Love the idea of just throwing them at the biggest thing you can find
With both the rumor engines and the forum leaks suggesting that we are getting new chaos bikers, it might be cool to see doom rider return as a cool HQ.
04:20 (lol) bring them back under the ynnari banner! No lore massaging required, since the ynnari are all about uniting the four kinds of Eldar, and dragon knights absolutely seem the sort to go questing for magic swords.
It would be a great way to make Ynnari 'pop' a bit as compared to just an eldar soup, and if interest is high GW can gradually expand it into an exodite range (probably not though)
Brilliant video! The intro gave me a big laugh. :-)
I agree with all your proposals Given that the rules for your list prevent squats qualifying as a suggestion, I'm not sure what else I can think of. One might be be to resurrect Imperial Pattern Space Marine armour, complete with the disintegration weapons seen on the LE2 Imperial Space Marine and the other pre RTB01 Space Marine models. Technically this stuff was part of the game as the 2016 30th anniversary Imperial Space Marine model included rules (that are now relegated to Legends). Plus Imperial Pattern Space Marine armour and disintegration weaponry got called out in the current issue of White Dwarf, so surprisingly it is still canon!
Another idea holds for me a particular note of nostalgia, as it originally had rules in the first White Dwarf I ever bought, 1989's issue 116. That included the Genestealer Chaos Cult army list. This dates from before the time when the genestealers were folded into the tyranid faction and at the time they were able to make deals with the Chaos powers. So it'd be cool if genestealer cults could fall to Chaos (presumably severing them from the overall tyranid hivemind), with rules and models for mutated and possessed genestealers and hybrids added to support this.
Also, holy hell, I'm used to the frightening prices that Rogue Trader era Space Marines can fetch on eBay, but the prices for tinboyz and runtbots are pretty damn steep too!
that jetbike was gorgeous that you painted.
I'm all for more Beastmen in every shape, way or form! Even if they would be allied with the bloody Imperium...
They could be great with the Chaos legion too. Kinda like the cultist but in abhuman shape.
@@CatherinePuce Yeah, they could fill a role that is similar to the cultists, but perhaps worse BS and higher S and/or T to show their animalistic side. They could be a "better" choice for close combat and still quite cheap, but lack objective secure (maybe a special rule that they can't hold objectives at all to reflect their unruly nature).
Watching from the future where we have felgor ravager kill team and can play them as psuedo cultists in 40k too :)
"Wraith Sprites" is actually kind of a badass name.
Good call on the space marine jet bike!
They should bring back a mercenary system, having Kroot mercs would be pretty sick
Mercenaries for xenos (except tyranids as that would just be silly and gsc could have them) would balance against the agents of the imperium offerings, though theyre a bit of a afterthought and beyond some interesting models I don't think very many bother with them.
Huh, for years I wondered what those sorta Space Marine-looking squat armored Ork units were, thought they were an armored variant with weirdly astartes-like design. Especially when the image they were in was involvin' Blood Axes.
I would like if the inquisition got their different tyes of Acolyte back, like savants and what not from 7th, rather than all just being identical troopers
Runtbotz honestly seem like they could fit as a one off wargear option like the grot oilers, ammo runts, and bomb squigs or an option to replace a model in a gretchin squad giving the unit an invuln save.
Ayyyy Ghost Warrior! A movie that had no business being as surprisingly decent as it is
Oh, I've got loads of these. Imperial Guard Conscripts and Rough Riders, Necron Pariahs, basically all the old Ork vehicles that got taken out at the beginning of 8th, Proper Looted Wagons.
Actually, on a slightly different point, I'd love to see things with weird rules to get those rules back, like how you mention the rules for Doomrider or the Ork robots. The Shock Attack Gun is one such thing, as is the Avatar of Khaine's immunity to Flamers.
Conscripts are still in. I don't think they ever had models, just a different marking
@@frostedbutts4340 Oh, they still have rules? My apologies, I've never been a proper Guard player. I assumed they were a relic of the Guard Platoon days of third and fourth.
I agree with everything minus the jet bike. Lore wise the idea that the Corvex jet bike is the last of it's kind for the marines.
