Votann need: -a fast attack infantry (allegedly they are getting jump warriors) -an open top mining hauler that you can place a group of 10 warriors in and have them slowly blast their way up the board and get them to mid. The hauler can have a big drill or scoop that does melee damage. - more ironkin -melee thunderkin with a siege drill like weapon - a repurposed ground to orbit ore hauling flier that has a shit ton of missiles -a cheaper medium tank option (like the gladiator) that can be a Swiss Army knife vehicle that doesn’t have the commitment of a hekaton -a dedicated transport flier or APC -troops that aren’t warriors and more foddery Of course these aren’t all possible but it just depends on how GW is going to rebalance the army in 10th.

My Eldar/Aldari wish: Go harder on their Necromancy themes. Something like a Troop unit of spectral eldar souls bound to something like a guardian weapon platform, that can cycle them back into play.

Different take on thousand sons: I'd like a squad of five on disc's that can be built like either a purgation squad or a fast melee unit like inceptors for grey knights. The sorceror is so dedicated to his pact with the discs and bond with his rubrics that at max squad 4 rubrics he can manage the task of juggling it all and effective combat casts. I think this unit would fulfill most of the holes in tsons in one go.

Fan unit: Grot Rokkit Riydas’ - Grot Rokkit Riydas’ are Gretchin that, through folly or malicious madness, have chosen to nick the Rokkit packs from Stormboyz and mount themselves atop the Rokkits using primitive saddles or “Sit-belts”. Flying pell mell at the nearest enemy (or, often enough, “ally”), these tiny streaks of flame cackle insanely as they fly across the battlefield, firing their Grot blastas and trying to stab anything and everything their tiny stabbas and makeshift stikkas can reach. Ability - Yeeehaaaw!! - When a Grot Rokkit Riyda unit successfully charges an enemy, roll a D6. On a 4+, a Grot Rokkit Riyda model explodes, dealing D3 mortal wounds to any enemy within 3 inches of one of the models of the Grot Rokkit Riydas unit, and that Grot Tomkit Riyda model is destroyed.

your idea for a repulsor knight makes me think of the Warahammer 40k equivalent of a Dom from mobile suit gundam.

Whether the Soul Grinder goes away or not, I would like to see another undivided daemon model that can be customized for any daemonic alignment, similar to the Soul Grinder (but doing different things, obviously). The undivided part of the codex is just Daemon Princes and Soul Grinders (R.I.P Furies).

Following your rules, here's one model I'd like to add for each of the factions I play in the order you presented them in: Necrons: More anti-psychic, so something like the shield generator suggestion in the video except it denies psychic powers within a certain range (or at least makes it harder to perform them). Tyranids: Just like in the video, a larger Carnifex-type unit that acts as a knight equivalent. Bonus points if it copies an Ork trait from being based on Ork DNA harvested from the Octarius War. Daemons: More Chaos Undivided daemons, like some sort of troops unit. Bonus points if it fits with the Ruinstorm Daemons aesthetic so it can be used as lesser daemons in Heresy, too. CSM: Do Chaos relic terminators (maybe as an upgrade pack that adds spikes and tusks to Cataphractii and Tartaros terminators) count? If yes, then those, if not then some kind of Chaos apothecary (the Death Guard can't be the only ones who still make use of them). Death Guard: Is it cheating to ask for Warpsmiths? Maybe a special Death Guard version that fits with their aesthetic? Thousand Sons: A Rubric Dreadnought (like the old metal one but with the "all is dust" rule so we don't have to rely on only Helbrutes. World Eaters (I don't play them, but this needs to be said): generic foot lords. Every other Chaos faction has them...

The Thousand sons have that BEAUTIFUL dreadnought from the Heresy years, that would work so brilliantly in modern TSons colours, but when asked the FW designers said ‘sadly, the technology for many things has been lost, and the technology for psychic dreadnoughts is one of them’ In the legion all about unrestricted knowledge. Who can literally ask the Chaotic deity of knowledge, complexity and scheming. The legion whose Primarch is ALIVE AND ACTIVE AMONG THEM, WHO *DESIGNED THE PSYCHIC DREADNOUGHTS PERSONALLY* 😅 What a waste of such a cool model… it doesn’t even need to be good (and probably shouldn’t be, to not give Forge World model painfully good rules) but they are literally coming up with an excuse that falls apart the second you think about it, just to… prevent them from selling more of those to 40k players…? Good grief, I’m glad 40k and the Heresy are moving closer to the community’s care and stewardship nowadays… it’s a shame what’s become of the company in some ways, even if there’s obviously some good-meaning people in there

@@tomgeytenbeek2207 That excuse GW gave is even more BS when you consider that the Blood Angels have their Librarian dreadnoughts! If _they_ can have them, why can't the sons of Magnus?

Brad's "I want a bigger, siege-sized" Carnifex monster just got granted with the new Norm Assimilator.

I know I’m a little late, but for the shield Necron unit you could have a model set that includes the unit and an “impassible” terrain piece that could be places within so many inches of the model!

Surely the big chaos demon monster should be a Slaughterbrute/Mutalith Vortex Beast? Makes way more sense in Chaos Demons!

Brad 2023: “Craftworld is like the faction I care least about.” “Craftworld is like a null-zone of I-don’t-care.” Brad 2024: “Guess what, honey! I bought a new army!”

Imagine for the nurgle transport it’s just a gigantic grub with transport holes along its sides.

Introducing the Ynnari elite until through kill team could be an interesting kill team and I love the idea of it!

I would make the genestealer cults have a crane model. It would be a slower vehicle with some melee ability. But its main purpose is that it would carry this crate that when dropped enemy units could take damage, but it could contain some troops, or it would just be a bunch of explosives. Maybe you could also make the kit into a second wrecking ball unit.

So a anti-large melee vehicle?

Thousand son's idea the weapon to give em on the discs is Conversion Beamers, the ones from the olde days that turns metal into flesh, that then looses all of it's molecular bonds.

Scourge are considered mercenary units, they are fast attack, and in lore they are made by the Coven. So, Coven technically have a fast attack

What about for Eldar, a Wraith HQ choice? As far as I know there is no wraithlord or guard that has become badass enough to be an HQ

The wraithseer used to be one.

Really like having Scions mentioned in the guard section. Even if breaking one of the earlier mentioned rules I’d want the Drop Sentinel to return or the Tauros being given to them. Just some form of fast attack that packs a good high strength weapon.

Chaos-wise.... In the 90's there were some Epic scale Slaanesh Chaos Knight models (3 different types) and some Slaaneshi Light Titans.... they.. were a little odd, had high-heels and zoomed about as fast as Eldar Jetbikes. there was also a Nurgle transport, which was a Great Unclean One possessed siege tower. For quite a long while Chaos armies didn't get Jump infantry or (mechanical) skimmers. The rulebooks put it down to them being able to repair that tech 'on the road'. AdMech used to have "Tech Guard", who sat somewhere closer to Imperial Guard than Skitari. They didn't get too many releases... being a late Epic thing... but did get an assault company in customised Chimera variants - and a special Infantry company that got to ride about in an Imperator Titan.

The nurgle transport should be modelled after that frog that has it's babies burst out of its back

Regarding a giant mech that transports smaller mechs. Battletech clan mechs can have people in powered armour suits (very much like stealth suits in size and ability) cling onto them and ride them before leaping off into combat.

My only two wish list items are both for Imperial Knights. I'd like something that's a little between the Armigers & Questoris knights, something that sits around 250-300pts per model. I'd also like a psychic knight, preferably in either a new chasis or a Dominus knight. The 9th edition knights codex feels like The Questoris Show ft. Armigers.

Orks: as someone who plays Beast Snaggas in a Deathskulls army, PLEASE GIVE ME BOTH!!! I want the adorable squigs AND the "two turns, then it blows up" grot vehicles! Actually, thinking about it, the Grotkopta sounds like more useful bomb squigs. Honestly, if we could get more grot models, it might be fun to play a grot-based army, and they would make SOOOO much sense in a Deathskulls army!

What I want for necrons is something that show they’re not only masters of the materium but also the can dampen the warp. Something like a blackstone construct that dampens warp energy or energy in general.

I would love to be able to make a complete Grot based list.

I never thought about the potential of an all grot army. I love the idea of a grot-copter!

For Grey Knights the answer is “someone with a shield” because in an army called Knights, the SINGLE guy with a shield strikes me as weird

Man it’ll be so hype once Emperor’s Children gets an actual range. Then this channel will become the true CSM channel. With Brad on Thousand Sons, Eric on Emperor’s Children, and Borelio on Death Guard. Then maybe just get Brad’s wife to play World Eaters and then we’ll have them all.

That was a strange and beautiful thing. You are right.

That Necron shield unit is something I'd love in the tau army, maybe something that uses repulsor fields which tau have to mess with enemy melee units/act as a general shield thingy.

Chaos Knights: Return to Oz Wheelers build! I love it!

It was fantastic episode. I cant wait to another one. :)

I would absolutely start a sslyth army if I could

On the subject of smaller heldrakes for thousand sons, the old epic scale tzeetch daemon engines would work perfectly just remake the doom wings/fire lords. Seems like a good lore fit.

For guard i think what would be really cool would be a support vehicle. Basically just make a plastic trojan, but give it three new build options. Trojan Ammunition Carrier - got a loading crane on the back and can give a buff to the number of shots done by a vehicle next to it. Trojan Engineering Vehicle - Got a big dozer blade and a large servo arm, can create light cover and repair vehicles. Trojan Communications Vehicle - Can route any vox signal that is within its larger vox range, can transport ten guys as opposed to the 5 of the other variants, and can be used as a command vehicle. And it doesnt break the rules since the trojan just went out of stock.

I want a Slaaneshi Noise Marine Dreadnought character which is so ancient & deformed that it looks like a cross between a wolf spider and a blue ring octopus. Cthulhu-esque melee oriented with terrifying spider eyes, tentacles & fangs, and a pair of large membranes that serve as a pair of twin-linked heavy doom sirens on steroids.

The Dimachaeron is basically exactly what you wanted haha

Had the idea for either a CSM character or small unit. A sniper marine (like the Vigilator from the heresy) with giant eyes for pauldrons and a cable leading from the scope to his face. Thought that'd be neat Also an opera singer character for the Emperor's Children with a horrifically distended throat would be awesome

Watching along, writing mine out before hearing what the guys say- Tau: non-humanoid auxiliary aliens. Make 'em huge and weird! Orks: Drop Rok! Just a giant rock with Orky gubbins on it that the orks can drop into the battlefield with. It does mortals to every unit in 12" including the unit it transports. Necrons: Massive canoptek swarm flyer. drops scarabs as it flies. Votann: Ogryn sized ironkyn unit with mining picks Tyranids: Shai Hulud. Just a massive base with a maw jutting from the ground. Genestealer Cult: Lord of War mega drill. See above but mechanincal. Drukhari: Exotic alien slave unit. We need more monstrous aliens in 40k. Craftworlds: Bonesingers! Such a cool name and concept, could be a support attachment for wraith units. Harlequins: lol. Chaos Daemons: Warp rift transport. A sort of barely contained rift that you can deploy daemons in reserve from, like a chaos monolith. Chaos Knights: Knight that has a chaos altar built atop it. Chaos Space Marines: Sniper Character (for alpha legion, it is seriously missing). Death guard: Plague Marine cavalry on Catoblepas-like daemons. Rubric Marines: Melee Rubrics (Khenetai cult, 2 swords) World Eaters: Bikes or juggernaut cavalry. Sisters: Airplanes with filigree and gothic architectural designs. Maybe a bomber that drops holy handgrenades. Custodes: Sisters of Silence Kharon transport from 30k. Coolest transport in any range! Admech: More robed priests, maybe a magus biologis genetor in a vat. Guard: CRUSADERS! Or cheap mass cavalry, not attilan rough riders. Grey Knights: 3 man daemon-sword weilders- like bladeguard with flaming swords. Imperial Knights: We have a lot of Imperial knights, let's get some weirder Mechanicus knights in there. One that is covered in cables and machadendrites would be awesome. Space Marines: Gravis Chaplain. Gravis Librarian. Gravis Techmarine. Gravis Hammer and Shield Unit. Just... more Gravis please. It's the only thing space marines need! This was fun! Definitely had to think outside the box for some of these as they are factions I rarely think about (if ever, sorry Drukhari).

1 Tau allies. Included gue-vesa piloted CQC suits. 2 Updated Eldar models. And models for the Phoenix lords who don't have them yet. 3 A relaunch of the epic scale with new sculpts all around and entirely new models to match the current lore and tabletop scenes for 30 and 40k. I'm talking scaled Mantas and Swordfish. I'm talking reimagined Eldar centaurs. I'm talking a Necron Scorpion or cobra shaped construct or something truly apocalyptic. Edit: I posted this before watching. Just my gut reaction.

Chaos has decimators that are bigger then hellbrutes and been around before redemptor dreads and then eldar has corsairs which is kinda a hybrid of normal and dark eldar stuff

A plastic Decimator kit would be lovely

I am looking to get into 40k and imperial guard was one of the top 3 factions I was looking into but the lack of krieg, mordion, and vostroyan units really turned them off for me, since those are the ones that drew me to imperial guard (i am coming from playing a bit of only war)

Lot of interesting takes, some I don’t agree with (Soul Grinders rule). That said, I do like the idea of going with more mutation within GSC. Currently the army really leans toward the workers revolution theme, which is fine. I’d love to see a ranged equivalent to Metamorphs (my favorite GSC unit), within venom cannons, spinefists and other biomorphic shooties

I realize I'm late to the party, but I just had a thought for Harlequins: what if you take inspiration from stagehands in theater, and merge it with the Wraith concept? Have slightly smaller Wraith-equivalents, and give them a solid ranged option, as well as three key abilities: the ability to stealth (either themselves or their allies), the ability to teleport (maybe even carrying enemies/allies with them), and the ability to shove/pull enemies (or even allies) around. Basically a support unit with solid ranged options and very poor melee, who specializes in protecting allies and messing with key enemies by moving pieces outside the movement phase. In lore, it'd probably be a combination between a Roadie (maybe even using illusions to "unpack" into a full-blown stage) and a heavy weapons platform. Feels on-brand for the Harlequins, and in-keeping with their theme of murderous performers, while still branching out into something new and interesting.

You lost me at "No dinosaurs"

I know it goes against the rules, but I don't know what the base canoptek base is called. The huge titan-sized canoptek leviathan in twice dead king book 2 that tore a hole in the Machanicum ship. Either that or an HQ canoptek like the Duke of Deathmarks from the same series.

When talking with one of my friends, he would mention how cool it would be if an imperial knight could get almost like an antigrav "horse". Just someting it could unironicall ride. While I disagreed on that one, we both agreed that a chaos knight centaur would be pretty dope.

Man they talking about how every faction should have dinosaurs and don’t even bring up the Godzilla sized Tau auxiliary forces we could have. THEY LITERALLY HAVE KAIJU DINOSAURS IN THEIR ALLIANCE

I don't know... I think adding even more mechs to Tau really only enforces the same playstyle, adds more unnecessary options (where none is really neeeded) and doesn't really solve the issue of their one-dimensional playstyle. Making things bigger and grander also feels kinda impractical and ressource demanding, which the Tau really are not. And while cool, melee focussed mechas would not make a lot of sense lore wise. It kinda seems to go against their whole doctrine of designing warfare, which keeps their losses to a minimum, by maintaning distance to their enemies. Perhaps something along the line of an elite melee focussed cadre, which serves under Farsight or perhaps shock field drones, but not more than that. I'd rather see GW expand more on the Tau's pool of auxilliaries. Next to giant Mechas, this is what got me into Tau in the first place. That they did not merely subjugate other races but tried to integrate them into their army, allowing them to shore up their weaknesses in ways, which other factions could not. Kroots have War spheres, so why not some sort of ramshackle vehicle option, ala Mad Max, which fuses their own stuff with jury-rigged Tau Tech? Wbu a melee Vespid unit, inspired by hornets (they are bee/fly like after all)? It is even said, that the Tau have this one client species, the Nicassar, which are all psychically gifted. I think those are much more interesting avenues, which GW could explore
