I kinda feel like the Legion of the Damned deserve a special mention. They're such a cool bit of lore. That and I'm just kind of a little bitter that I got into 40k shortly after GW stopped selling LotD minis.
Even though Tau Auxiliary models are a great opportunity to kitbash your own squads from other faction kits, I'd buy a Tau codex in a heartbeat if they actually published rules for gue'vasa units
Thankfully the problem really only comes into play if you're doing tournament play. If you're playing with friends, it's easy enough to agree that taking imperial Guard units and adding them to a list would be able to function for them. Or, if you have extra weapons available from Tau kits (like the carbines for the breacher squads or rifles for the fire warriors) you could homebrew an imperial guard unit with Tau weaponry.
I'm old enough to remember when every Eldar was clamoring for any Warp Spider miniatures at all. Now they're gone again. What a joy "The Games Workshop Hobby" is.
@@Troupe_Masternot really as those aren’t official and can’t be used in tournaments and most of the classic upgrades (batwing helms for NL) don’t even have forge world versions
The 2nd edition Eldar codex was where I got into the hobby, and I've been wanting Exodites for decades. Knowing that they never created a warp spider exarch, any models from the Exodites, or fleshed out the Ynnari, makes me glad that I left the GW sphere of the hobby years ago.
Warp spider Exarch is pictured on the thumbnail. Arms in the air, double web spinners. He's been killing my enemies for years. No Warp spider Phoenix Lord.
Same boat. I'd concede that Eldar were probs OP back in 2nd, but they lost a feeling of uniqueness over time, and about 8 years ago after continual disappointment with Eldar announcements I bailed too. Catching this video is a gas seeing as the range is STILL ancient even now.
For the record, Alien hunters did get a codex eventually. The thing is, the whole concept of the inquisitorial army changed over the years. Inquisitors now join whatever army they want and the two existing 'hunters' have become separate armies with their proper official names. Daemon hunters into Grey Knights. Witch hunters into Adepta Sororitas. And Alien hunters followed suit as the Deathwatch.
I really like the old style of models personally, and that comes from someone who grew up too late to really collect them. Some of my prize figures are old white metal eldar and space marines, and a couple of scavenged rogue trader bois.
we eldar have really been left behind. i started playing last year and thankfully my favourite aspect warriors look pretty good and have a plastic kit, along with their phoenix lord (howling banshees & jain zar) i just got 5 warp spiders and the difference between them and the rest of my army makes them feel like they don't fit in at all
I'm so glad someone else is pointing out just how shelved Imperial Agents have been. A note: The crusader model and its entire sprue is actually from Blackstone Fortress, a part of the Ascension expansion. Good luck finding it though, no idea when the last time anything was made for Blackstone Fortress.
About orks... As cool as the new boyz are, I just don't care TOO much for monopose models... Yes they are GORGEOUS to look at, but by GW removing multipose models as a whole the models start seeming a bit samey if you have enough... And I imagine it would be especially noticable with horde factions like orks and nids. (Perhaps I am incorrect, but that is just a personal reason that I would wish for GW to make multi-part kits like they used to, and why my old multi-part orks are my favorite!(Plus, cant go wrong with such affordable orks too, even if the sculpt IS showing its age...))
We actually mentioned that dissapointment but it didn't make the cut, we agree! Clip together kit is doubly dissapointimg when they look so much better than the available multipart
@TabletopTime I guess I just am sad to see all these old models go when there still feels like their good enough to be used... I am so sad I missed my opportunity to get firstborn dreadnoughts... :'( And I worry that soon, if enough people get on GW's case, no matter how much they deserve it, they will kill some of the OTHER good models that still have some life in them, even if they COULD use a rework... Like firstborn marines. Man those helmets are irreplaceable to me...
I'm actually working on kit bashing a Grey Knights army from the Combat Patrol and Boarding Patrol plus the Space Marine half of the Leviathan box and some extras. so far they look awesome at Primaris scale. 😁
To pick up on a very minute point in the entire video. I’d much prefer if they’d make an entirely new rhino/predator/vindicator for chaos. One that can have entire exhaust stacks swapped to make them look like something with scavenged repairs or entire sections swapped to be more warp touched for example. The entire rhino chassis also needs to have its scale crept up to match the creep seen by infantry squads. An upgrade kit for the Deimos variants would just lead to a laughably small tank with superficial upgrades being placed next to fairly chunky chaos legionaries/plague marines/khorne berzerkers. I say this as someone that has converted a Deimos rhino and is currently wrestling with converting an old chaos predator to be more Death Guardy.
Tanks for making me feel super old :( :P I started this hobby at 8 year's old when my uncle introduced me to it started collecting at 11 i was born in 1981. I love your content but damn i feel like i need to move into a nursing home now.
Some Skaven units such as Warlock Engineer, Gutter/Night Runners, Ratling Gun, Warpfire Thrower, Plague Censer Bearers, Warplock Jezzails, Warp-Grinder, Skryre Acolyte, Plague Priest, Master Moulder. Nurgle unit such as Festus and Epidemius. Centigors, Doombull, Razorgors, and Tuskgor Chariot for the Beasts of Chaos. Those are the only AoS models that I could think of.
To be fair Inquisitorial Agents have had a ton of love recently, and while I suspect this video was made before the announcement the Agents Kill Team has a full release now. But we also had the Elucidian Starstriders w. Voidsmen, Adeptus Arbites, Breachers, and a whole index for Imperial Agents in the new edition. Oh and a new Inquisitor model in the form of Erasmus Cartavolnus, although he doesn't have specific rules for 10th so admittedly GW seem to have forgotten in record time that he exists. And admittedly putting Hector Rex in legends was a dick move.
I think you nailed this list. I am getting a bit long in the tooth myself, having started 40k back in 3rd edition, with the eldar. I got out of the game, got back into it and would have embraced space elves again, but I did not want to paint all the same models over again. Back then, a full Harlequin force was a pipe dream, so given the opportunity, I picked a small force for them and also dove into the Dark Angels, building out at first a Deathwing force. Now that the Lion has returned, I've picked him up and some primaris models. Because loyalty is its own reward.
My Warp Spiders are all metal, bought in blister packs way back in 1996 when I first got into 40k. They still look good, but that may be due to my painting skills. There are 3rd party WS sculpts out there that look really good, worthy of adding to an Eldar army. I won't, because, you know, my whole army is so old the alternate sculpts would stick out like a sore thumb.
On the subject of T'au orks, I believe it's official lore that the T'au TRIED to talk to them, but were so unsuccessful that they now have a "kill on sight" order on orks. Same as with Tyranids
I can see a lot of these models being introduced slowly through kill team, especially the aspect warriors. Another rumor for the box after that is swooping hawks and vespid. Not sure if it'll end up being true but I would love to see it.
10:42 That Falcon does still look astonishingly good though. It was the thing that got me into Eldar when I was 12, back in 2001. The one I got back then is still in my collection and still being played with. That model, and to a lesser extent the Vyper, may just be the only 2 kits that, quite frankly, may never need an upgrade.
I’m a Grey Knights player and I do still love their current range and think they look great. Yes I’d like truescale GK but they shouldn’t be primaris and they should still have the same proportions. basically Cawl is not good enough to make primaris GK and you can’t upgrade perfection. Speaking of which it should be added to the lore that primaris are far more susceptible to falling to chaos
As a certified Grey Knights battle brother, I hope GW never touch my 5'11" short kings I much vastly prefer the balljointed waists, unified poses, and modular designs of my silver sons than the very dynamic, but very specific poses of the Primaris Space Marines Yeah, the new Primaris ones look cooler, but that novelty wears off when you spot four guys with the exact same running technique across the battlefield It's even worse with the Chaos Space Marines, where each pair of legs also only matches a specific chestplate, so all the guys doing the cool dynamic leap over a small rock all have the same armour, the same spiky shinguards, the same chestplate, and the same loincloth, but with different heads and shoulders glued on Yes, all the current Grey Knights have the same leg pose, but the pose is generic enough that you can easily smash 20+ marines together on the tabletop and it doesn't look wierd
It's amazing how unpleasant Wave Serpents are to build, compared to modern kits. I still think it's a great looking transport, but I had to break out my woodworking clamps to get mine to go together, and stay that way while the glue dried.
#10 Chaos bikers. I miss the old chaos vehicle upgrade spru's. Slap a load of spikes on some of the newer space marine bikes and you'd have yourself fun new chaos bikers. I've been thinking about pulling out my old Doomrider for a while now.
im with you on everything except that Falcon baybee dont fix what aint broke, timeless (and maybe the Baneblade but i'd mark out over a new Baneblade so i'll give you that)
A new kit update doesn't mean a complete redesign. But some higher resolution detail and a better build, maybe more gubbins would be great. Falcon admitantly holds up the best, then the tau
So I like the list. It's pretty accurate. Eldar being one of my two mains, I can't disagree with the Aspect Warriors desperately needing an update. Kitbashing your own will only take you so far (though I am very proud of my DIY Fire Dragons, if I do say so myself). I don't see the need for vehicle remakes, as much as I just wish they provided more kit options for them, at least where the Eldar are concerned. The Falcon being from '97 isn't as much of a problem as it's lack of properly representing weapon options, though I'll admit that I do very much like the visual re-do of the Fireprism - so maybe I can be brought on board for it.
I wish Games workshop offered "oldhammer" models and latest models. Rhinos are pretty much dead in 40k, but yet its such a iconic model that everyone knows of. Like surely at this point it doesnt cost much for GW to make, seeing all the models and molds are still there. Tamiya does this they even do updated older models with photo etching and updated parts etc.
@@TabletopTime I'll give you that one! They are good sculpts, though getting on in years now. Not as old as some, but older than Ynnari. Our range refresh is holding up really well, possibly because of the multi-pose nature and the cross-kit kitbash potential (nearly all the arms and legs use the same size sockets or flat surfaces). But Grotesques suffer from single pose while Beasts and Court are just... gone. Rotated out.
Just for fun, here's an example from the AoS side: Skryre Acolytes. When you initially look at them, one might think "Oh neat, Skryre-themed foot troops. 70 points for 5 models, it's not Clanrat-levels of horde but they're cheap! Now I can make even more of my army be my favorite clan!" Think again. A Skryre Acolyte is 15.75€. Yes, you heard that right: a *single* Acolyte. It's one metal model in a blister pack, you don't even get the full kit, just one variation of the sculpt. You're paying ~78€ for 70 points, and the models aren't even resin, let alone plastic.
I like my tanks, but they could definitely add accessory sprues to enable them to be more characterful. Unearthed my Tallarn the other night. Had a great time.
My God warp spiders coming out when I was four and I remember the eldar and Krut back because that's the one that my buddy had around 99 I believe it was or 2,000 I just remember him having one and I was the first time I ever saw Warhammer
Hot take: GW could make a new bike kit that incorporates optional parts to switch out for either Ravenwing bikers, or a new White Scars unit. Please, GW, please make that happen. It would be so cool.
Orks are considered to be one of the only species unsuitable for integration into the T'au Empire, in the lore. But the ethereals DID try to negotiate with them twice. It didn't go well.
Have you noticed how, with the "Combat Patrol" boxes, you pay more now, but get less. In the past, GW used to make excellent "armies in a box", like the Eldar or Custodes "armies in a box", which contained about 1000 points worth of models, but then GW abandoned them, released these Combat Patrol boxes, which were about half the size of the previous supplements, but doubled the cost in the process. I don't think that I have seen a single "Combat Patrol" box, which is actually worth the price tag. I don't think that GW care about what the customers are asking for anymore. I think that it is 100% all about the money, and how much they can con out of you, while providing as little as possible in return.
And then there's the World Eaters Forgeworld options, which have NOT been abandoned; you can still buy all of them. But you can't play ANY of them. Currently you can purchase a Greater Brass Scorpion for $300 that is fully UNUSABLE in both casual AND competitive settings because it wasn't even given Legends options.
In regards to Ynnari, the rumor as to why they were abandoned by GW (please take with a grain of salt) was caused by two things. One: GW was not happy with the Traitorous Girly-man Eldar GF meme that popped up on the internet. Two: The lackluster fan reception to papa-smurf's return, anything to do with crawl, and the absolute mess that is the primaris lore. Despite the Ynnari having some pretty cool lore, being tied into a lot of bad lore seemed to have hurt the rebranding attempt by GW. To my knowledge GW has not confirmed anything, and that the reasons mentioned above are common fan theories.
I want an emperor's children refresh so bad. New Chaos bikers and noise marines would be amazing. My Legionaries kill team is a traitor White Scars successor that is essentially a biker gang. They'd be easy to expand into an army that uses Emperor's Children rules.
Top 10 abandoned... Hell you should do a list of the Top 10 mentioned throughout the 40k books and still don't have kits/codex and they'd all be Chaos.
I kinda feel like the Legion of the Damned deserve a special mention. They're such a cool bit of lore.
That and I'm just kind of a little bitter that I got into 40k shortly after GW stopped selling LotD minis.

I like my tanks, but they could definitely add accessory sprues to enable them to be more characterful. Unearthed my Tallarn the other night. Had a great time.
I’m sure the leman russ spruce was updated i recently got back into the hobby and the turret wasn’t how I remembered it
The Chimeara is ok for what it is.
The Leman Russ looks silly. And always has.
Hearing someone say "Truescale Primaris Grey Knights" in a positive tone is probably the most revolting thing in a while.
Warp Spiders were the SHIT in the old days. Being able to move forward, shoot, then teleport behind cover was amazing.
Was that merch plug a reference to Chills?
Great video. Do more top 10, please
thank you so much More Plastic Aspect Warriors Please!
My God warp spiders coming out when I was four and I remember the eldar and Krut back because that's the one that my buddy had around 99 I believe it was or 2,000 I just remember him having one and I was the first time I ever saw Warhammer
Imo Drukhari range. Archon named "archon" One Haemonculi and Mr rakarth. Where's vect? They should have not bothered updating at all.
Hot take: GW could make a new bike kit that incorporates optional parts to switch out for either Ravenwing bikers, or a new White Scars unit.
Please, GW, please make that happen. It would be so cool.
Im glad my howling banshees have at least two kit, and jain zarr
That was an interesting one. And now I feel old
You can use some of the models in the new kroot kit as regular kroot carnivores and kroot hounds
Orks are considered to be one of the only species unsuitable for integration into the T'au Empire, in the lore.
But the ethereals DID try to negotiate with them twice. It didn't go well.
9:06 What is the crusader fighting?
All I want is a Catachan jungle fighter upgrade kit, but instead, they gave us a Cadian upgrade kit? For the already Cadian troops?
Those time stamps look familiar 😉
Happy 30 years for the warp spiders
Have you noticed how, with the "Combat Patrol" boxes, you pay more now, but get less. In the past, GW used to make excellent "armies in a box", like the Eldar or Custodes "armies in a box", which contained about 1000 points worth of models, but then GW abandoned them, released these Combat Patrol boxes, which were about half the size of the previous supplements, but doubled the cost in the process. I don't think that I have seen a single "Combat Patrol" box, which is actually worth the price tag. I don't think that GW care about what the customers are asking for anymore. I think that it is 100% all about the money, and how much they can con out of you, while providing as little as possible in return.
And then there's the World Eaters Forgeworld options, which have NOT been abandoned; you can still buy all of them.
But you can't play ANY of them.
Currently you can purchase a Greater Brass Scorpion for $300 that is fully UNUSABLE in both casual AND competitive settings because it wasn't even given Legends options.
new chaos bikes are on the way along with a resized first born but the first born is most likely for 30k not 40k though
In regards to Ynnari, the rumor as to why they were abandoned by GW (please take with a grain of salt) was caused by two things. One: GW was not happy with the Traitorous Girly-man Eldar GF meme that popped up on the internet. Two: The lackluster fan reception to papa-smurf's return, anything to do with crawl, and the absolute mess that is the primaris lore. Despite the Ynnari having some pretty cool lore, being tied into a lot of bad lore seemed to have hurt the rebranding attempt by GW. To my knowledge GW has not confirmed anything, and that the reasons mentioned above are common fan theories.
As someone who can also remember Y2K I too feel like I need a replacement
God, imagine if you had all the assassins getting redone, even the weirder ones like the Mayoral and the Poisony one.
Well... now i want them to do a catachan vs striking scorpions kill team box.
What about the old Drukhari Characters which got killed from codexes?
You guys forgot the Praetorian Guard for Imperial Guard Regiments.
Imm NO, it was not called warhammer rogue trader, that was NOT its inception. It was called Laser Burn, and it did not have eldar at the time.
I want an emperor's children refresh so bad. New Chaos bikers and noise marines would be amazing. My Legionaries kill team is a traitor White Scars successor that is essentially a biker gang. They'd be easy to expand into an army that uses Emperor's Children rules.
All this video has done is made me feel really damn old.
I want the Necron Ctan to get some new models, Deceiver and nigh bringer look rough compared to the absolute chad that is the void dragon
And there's the Dominus Bombard that has never had a model in the first place, yet can be played.
Didn't realise striking scorpions had such a new kit.
@7:15 just wait until you find out what happened 3 years later
Almost all of Drukhari have been forgotten.
Top 10 abandoned... Hell you should do a list of the Top 10 mentioned throughout the 40k books and still don't have kits/codex and they'd all be Chaos.
