I think the person who would be attracted to playing Tyranids doesn't really want them to be "humanized" in having independent named characters and the like. They're a bit like choosing to play a dragon in a fantasy story, like a force of nature with a secretive grand intelligence behind it. Admittedly, this may be just from my perspective, but it's always felt lame to me when writers make weird alien things that are hard to relate to more human, because I feel like that's considering a unique flavor of a faction as a weakness

For Imperial Knights, their whole thing is medieval knight, but in a big robot, right? So why not give them some "Household Troops" or something similar. You can get a few types as well. You can have medieval "Sergeant" equivalents, similar to the naval beachers or Kaserkins, the actual decentish infantry. You can have some regular guard or cultist equivalents to represent regular Household Troops, and you can also get some literal Agri World, Peasant Levies, for some actual trash to through on the board. Make it similar to Old World Bretonia, where the knights are your damage dealers and will win you the game, with the peasants or "Household Troops" to hold the line long enough for the knights to win. Plus, you can then play with some foot characters to act as "Retainers" or something like that. There is definitely something there. *Edited some spelling mistakes

It's incredibly funny that the "Bunch of different weirdos together" is supposed to be the Tau's whole thing, but that mechanics wise the current Drukhari with their 3 in 1 faction with the weirdos like Mandrakes and Scourges feels more akin to the covenant idea than the tau do.

The only Christmas Wish my faction has is to have finished painting my faction.

the obvious connecting aesthetic to make the conglomeration of a bunch of wildly distinct looking alien species together should be the existing Tau armor aesthetic. the layers of ceramic plates ala space alien samurai armor style should be present on all of the different races of the tau empire in the same way that the covenant all had a similar material design for all of the different species' armors in Halo. I want to see Kroot in fire warrior-like armor that's shaped to their different physiology. The Vespid sculpts already do this even if those models are so old and ugly it doesn't really mesh with the current line of Tau models.

For Custodes: a proper expansion to the Sisters to make the faction properly the Talons of the Emperor. We got a full (if dysfunctional) army list for the sisters in 30k more than a year ago but there are no models in sight ;~; For Chaos Marines: Mutilators, Bikers, Defiler, a proper damn army for World Eaters and psychic dreads and maybe an elite non-terminator unit for the TSons (think the Khenetai blade cabal from 30k) and named characters for every legion like the loyalists got

Other cool characters for us would be Talos, Malcharion in Dreadnought, and Sevatar (haven't read about him but other NL players think he's hot stuff so I'm game).

"Just steal from Starcraft" wasn't Starcraft supposed to be a warhammer 40k game originally but they didn't get the liscence so they changed SM, Aeldari and Tyranids into Terrans, Protoss and Zerg? Edit: also, isn't there already some individualism in the Hive Mind considering each Hive Fleet uses a different strategy (behemoth charges head-on, kraken does ambushes, leviathan adapts, kronos goes after demons and gorgon uses acid/toxins) and I'm pretty sure there was a Hive Fleet that transformed smaller fleets into a part of itself, implying the Hive Fleets either have their own conflicting Hive Minds or that they are at least in conflict with themselves?

For a new admech cult model idea: a procession of tech-priests, some doing repairs on the model, some doing incense, some shooting (all mostly visual), with them escorting a massive screw-you gun/tech piece. Heck, make that part of the war-gear, have 1 variant be a big gun, another being a targeting relay for da other big guns, another giving a defensive aura or enchanced protocols. The model would kinda look similar to triumph of saint Katherine, but bigger (obviously with all the tech priests) and probably very wacky-looking, because admech.

Might be doable as a Tyranid novel And seeing as how they are one of the few organisms with a level of individuality apart from the hive mind it's possible it would actually happen

When you guys got to the World Eaters and talking Chaos Specific things.... I feel like that is a prime example on how they can pull from these cool new 30k Dreads; give them 40k specific upgrade frame.

I really think Ad Mech should get more of the old robot models, from the rogue trader era, but updated to plastic kits. I thought those were delightfully strange and would add more variety. Each robot type could fill specific army style roles. Also, never heard the joke about "Every Necromunda model is a genestealer model." I have heard, "Every model is a Necromunda model."

I think a series of compiled "short stories" could be interesting -- just like horror mode -- and alternates between a tyranid chapter -- then a horror chapter of someone fighting for their lives.

T'au needs an very expensive Hrud or Sslyth unit that are costly and you only have a handful of them at most, but have very specialised but dangerous weapons.

My only Christmas wish this year is that you guys would have an episode talking about AoS every now and again.

As a long time dark eldar fan, there are currently two things that would be really cool imho - well, three if you count named characters that got 8th edition blasted (think it was 8th ...): - plastic mandrakes and grotesques (I'll count those as one wish) - some kind of elite assassinations sniper squad with a more ornate/not standard kabalite armour. Think of something in the line of a small (5 model) squad of sniper-scourges. Also with a new true sniper weapon, not just "dark something-something" or "super splinter sniper anti material smooth bore rifle" (yes, the last one doesn't makes sense, as most of GW weapon names). Or if the scourge is a too mobile base model, give us a mix of mandrakes, incubi and snipers :D - alternative to the second wish: some other body-modified eldar units. Not directly coven units, more in the direction of blades for hire. In the lore, even non coven-affiliated eldar can have modified bodies - all the narcissistic expressions of ego and wealth ... in one of the DE books, there is an archon that had his bones hollowed out, feathers implanted and also grav thingies in his foots because he just loved birds - drukhari need more crazy stuff like that!

I want nothing more then for the tyranids to NOT get a explanation. The unknown eldritch nature of them is one of my favorite parts. And splitering them and makeing them more individual would actually make me vomit. It could be done well, but it would be incredibly incredibly incredibly hard.

I wish that Chaos marines could get some cool new deamon engines and maybe something like half-obliterator techmarine as a new character.

Honestly, feel that having Imperial Knights have a separate, more storm trooper/kasrkinesque style of guard could still be cool. Considering the knights themselves have large retinues of soldiers and house guard. This would also allow for new tactics and abilities, such as maybe being behind a knight counts as cover for the squads under it. Or they get a buff for being near knights(Ik they don't like auras, but this would be a cool concept.) Because it would both initiate a want to use these newer guardsmen equivalents. And it would be similar to bondsman in flavor and abilities, having the knights inspire their basic infantry into battle to further them along. It's a bit of a cop-out. But there is a potential there for it to be a very synergistic type army. Where you have enough war dogs, you have enough knights, you have enough basic inf. And then you get the full feel of a knight and its retinue power fantasy.

As a Leagues of Votann player, I’d say something I want more than the other half of my range is more lore! The models will come eventually, but our identity needs to be cemented for 2 reasons: 1.

My only thing with the Tyranids getting proper characters is that the problem with similar factions in other media that have had this have had it always go kind of poorly. Like the Borg queen in Star Trek was unpopular, and Kerrigan in Star Trek just kind of warp the factions around their wants and needs and move too far away from this animalistic alien hunger that just wants to spread and make itself grow and consume all. I think the Praetor idea would work best where it's just like an aspect that just wants to consume, an aspect that's more tactical, one that adapts and invents new monsters. Then we could have like the tactical wanting to make a strategic flank with some gaunts while the consuming one tries to hijack them and just charge straight in to feed. Almost like a lot of personalities of one being fighting for control but still maintaining a unified purpose.

This is definitely preferable; unnamed subminds that are more like the different cores of the process as a whole, instead of characters of their own right. It could be seen as an advantage within the hivemind that they all have these perspectives at all times, and the collective cherry picks what it needs or wants for a given tendril. TBH A tyranid book should read very strangely and confusingly, it should kaleidoscopic, like you're in a fever dream. But that isn't a simple thing to just write, those sorts of things usually come with inspiration.

I would love the Tau to finally get more allied races to play with so they can become more like the Covenant. Sadly, unless one of those allied races has a name that ends in "Space Marine", we're never going to see it.

As a white scars player, hover bikes would be incredible whether it be chapter specific or not. Trying to use the Stormlance Task Force detachment with 3 total "mounted" units isn't the best.

I would share Brad's complaints about the Drukhari Friendship Boat if there was ever a reason for me to take any Wych Cults at all in 10th. That's my christmas wish, give me my wych cults back!

In fairness I immediately like Poorhammer videos before the first second of playing because I know I won’t be disappointed.

They release the episodes early on Apple Podcasts. So by the time it makes it to KZread I’ve already heard it. So I hit like to help the channel even if I haven’t watched the actual video yet.

As a guard player my Christmas wish is that we get a codex before next Christmas 😭 some refreshed catachans in a jungle kill team box with some new jungle terrain wouldn’t hurt too

Not just a better Outrider kit, but an actual NON-melee, specialized biker replacement for the bike squads would be nice.

You don’t have to release the whole video but a blooper reel at the end of the new necrons video would be pretty great

8:00 so an updated capitol imperialis? I know that’s a astra mil vehicles (and it’s larger than titan sized but too big was never a criteria) but I’m pretty sure all imp forces technically have access to it,

It could be possible, if you din't mind Epic scale. I can't recall if the capital imperialis was around during the heresy or not.

My wish as a T'au player is a Crisis-sized battlesuit that's mainly designed for melee combat. It would make it so we don't instantly crumble at the slightest bit of melee breeze, and it would look cool being led by Farsight.

Beautiful necrons man, I was able to see them enough to know that.

The immediately going to the 5XL hoodie got me. lol

6:40 Sisters need more firepower, Castigators need their dual profile battlecannon with higher AP back, they need a flyer, a non-ridiculous super heavy, and a ridiculous Drop-chapel.

Giving Tau the covenant vibes with other races could also give them some melee strength to really push the idea of these different races banding together to make up for their weaknesses. Doesn't even need to be good melee, just a token to represent the collective spirit.

Guard player here! Speaking for myself I want more HQ options. I don't like to use named characters so my HQ options are: -Company Commander -Lord Commisar -Tank Commander Someone else suggested it would be cool to have a C.Commander in Sentinel. Just a few more options would be cozy.

As tyranid player I feel we were robbed of our leaders the tyrant prime and nerothrope are just gone feels like a missed opportunity to have leaders in swarms

It’s adorable seeing these Necron takes before the codex preview but released after the reveal

I know its a hot take, but I’ll say it; making TSons, Death Guard, and World Eaters Separate codexes was a mistake. They’d have gotten more mileage and better support if they were Codex Supplements instead.

Id say it would have been better to have monogod (csm and Daemons) codexes and then one undivided codex like AoS instead

100% Agree. As a Blood angels player since 3rd edition I have always preferred to be a supplement faction compared to when they’ve had their own codexes. Being your own codex just means less frequent updates, less unit variety and out of sync data sheets. People just want “more everything” but as we see with 10th codex releases the output has limits. More factions means more delays and less model updates for existing factions.

As an Admech player I just want our 30k stuff in 40K

Sisters want a “reinforcements” set so we can have a full set of arco-flagellants and repentia after buying the combat patrol.

Fun fact this month Dec 23 the free mini is a rino. I love this podcast.

I didn't know there was a Vorthos in the Timmy/Johnny/Spike paradigm. I always described myself as a 'fluff' player, as opposed to a 'crunch' player, so I'm interested to hear your takes on that.

The McDonalds M on the outriders stands for "McCragge"

The problem with writing a book from the Hivemind's perspective is it has been mysterious and vague for so long, that anything GW gives us will be disappointing. What ACTUALLY needs to happen is for the Norn Queens to make a proper appearance in the lore as characters.

For T Sons the easy answer is “anything not a character that’s also a psyker/generates cabal points”

This could be really random but I really want a possessed sort of unit for every chaos faction kinda like eightbound.for example a snake thing for emperors children (when they release) or withered gardeners for death guard. Also that could be the way you have a smaller knight thing is by have little possessed robots

Sisters might appreciate non-monopose minis in their combat patrol.

Pleasantries done. Thanks again for a wish list episode.

Can't wait for them to cover the Necron codex.

* mentions Votann in passing while talking about a different army * "there's not a secret army we're forgetting about, is there?" * refuses to elaborate

Eric is right, Gundams are cool. Good episode for sure, excited to hear the Vorthos episode! My personal wishlist isn't too different; -New Nightbringer sculpt, love Nightbringer thematically but its rough model wise -More Tyranid and Votann lore, like come on GW both the brand new army and the bad guys of the edition and we've got table scraps here. -A sisters themed knight sized unit to work as a great centerpiece for the army -A CSM sniper so I can have an excuse to get an Exodus from 30k for my Alpha Legion And I just got a GSC combat patrol for the same reason mentioned here, because I know its on life support and the deal is too good to pass up. I'm still too new to the army to have a wishlist for it though

about Tyranids, I totally can see something like the end of Ender's Game, or that hive mind episode in Love Death & Robots, or the whole Flood shebang possessing a ship in Halo 3

I always appreciate that you include Harlequins in these. It’s nice to not be forgotten

For custodians just buy recasts. The recaster i use usually has the same or better quality as forgeworld.

A concept I wouldn't be surprised to see is if Chaos Demons was completely scrapped and the 4 gods were tied into their corresponding legions instead. Playing Khorne would mean playing World Eaters with a specific detachment, playing Nurgle would be Death Guard with a detachment, Tzeentch gets a Thousand Sons detachment, then the last being finally getting an Emperor's Children codex with attached Slaanesh demons.

I think the hate for Forgeworld is greatly exaggerated. A huge part of the community buy resin kits and their quality has dramatically improved over the years. Some models aren’t in enough demand to warrant a plastic release and I’m happy to be able to get them in resin rather than not getting them at all. It’s not always a plastic vs resin argument, sometimes it’s resin vs nothing… Some models also could not be made in plastic due to the sculpting detail, like the Character series.

I really do hope GW goes with the Covenant style combined arms force with the Tau. I don't play Tau but it would just be so interesting to see on the table and allow for so much variety in army construction.

For tyranids they could do genstealer cult book with a patriach or big figure who reveals parts of the lore to the main character

I would wish for the Myphitic Blight Hauler’s bile spurt weapon profile was more like a flamer. It would make it more of a utility unit doing both anti-tank and anti-infantry in one 100pt package
