[@glitterboy2098]

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.

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

[@someirishguy1662]

They should bring back a mercenary system, having Kroot mercs would be pretty sick

[@bionicgeekgrrl]

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.

"Have i seen a space marine codex lately?" More like, "Have i ever seen a space marine codex?"

[@leafybreezestudios1025]

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

[@arnekrug939]

8:34 Funny that you mention them, because I'm currently kitbashing a squad of Imperial Guard beastmen.

[@ZzzyaxTheCuber]

Watching from the future where we have felgor ravager kill team and can play them as psuedo cultists in 40k too :)

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!

Saw the jetbike in the thumbnail and started laughing immediately.

[@YossarianVanDriver]

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...

[@getuliovargas5584]

> 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.

[@Wulgreath]

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.

[@vernonjennings5921]

And so my weekend procrastination begins. Awesome video as always. Thanks for sharing!

[@JasuchinFaron]

Amazingly out of all these old units, the rough riders were the ones we got back

[@Yacovo]

I would like to see Black Ship units become a sub faction allies for imperium armies. They literally visit every imperial world at least once, if something happens they can break out all their cool anti-psyker measures at people. It'd at least be more common than fighting Custodes.

[@sekliley7587]

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.

[@tdvwest9514]

I wouldn't mind if guard had jetbikes, they have gravpacks, walkers and plasma cannon I think that they can squeeze in one sci fi unit.

[@TheSYLOH]

I wonder what would happen if you issued the "Fire at nearest target that isn't green" command when fighting Salamanders or Dark Angels.

[@TheSmart-CasualGamer]

That was the point. It wouldn't do anything.

[@Blakewyattdunfee]

Second edition tyranids (TIE-RAN-ids) that can be used both in lore and game play as sacrificial troops to weaken enemy forces and then the true tyranids (TIE-RAN-ids) main force move in and wipe out what's left of the remaining enemy forces.

[@ThorOdinson]

My personal wish list is as follows: 1) Squats: An entire army. 2) Exodite Eldar: An entire army. 3) Sensei: As part of an army for the Cabal. 4) Adeptus Arbites: An entire army. 5) Primaris Jetbikes: I was genuinely surprised when we got Outriders. With all the Primaris grav tanks, I expected jetbikes back. I’m still hoping we get jetbikes, though. 6) Primaris Tactical Squad/Assault Squad/Devastator Squad: I love those classic squads, so I’d like to see Primaris versions of them. For Tactical Squads, they can edit Intercessor Squads to simply have the option to take two of any combination of special and/or heavy weapon. For an Assault Squad, just give Assault Intercessors a jump pack option and a couple more melee options (like eviscerators, flamers, etc.). And for Devastators, create a new squad that can take four different heavy weapon options, instead of just the Uni-weapon squad options like Hellblasters. Honestly, it’s silly there weren’t options like that from the start, especially since 8th edition brought back split fire. Why bring back the ability to split fire and then introduce new Space Marines who don’t get anything from that? 7) Primaris Terminators: I’d like to see a combination of Terminators and Centurions, but in Primaris size. Terminators should be gods on the battlefield, and Primaris Terminators are a great opportunity to create a small unit that puts out a disgusting amount of firepower and melee damage, while being able to soak up a lot of damage in return. 8) Primaris Rhino: And no, the Impulsor isn’t it. It needs to be able to carry a full 10-man squad, both Tacticus and Gravis, and potentially be able to carry a 5-man Primaris Terminator Squad. Beyond that, I don’t care. Like the Rhino, I just want a good cheap transport, not something loaded with a dozen guns. 9) Imperial Guard Rough Riders: We effectively got boar riders back for Orks with their squigs. It’d be nice to see Rough Riders back, too. 10) New Imperial Guard Regiments: I’m tired of just seeing Cadians and some Catachans. And my preference is for them NOT to look like a real world rip-off, but instead have more of a 40K character to them and look more gothic.

I’ve been listening to you guys for 5 ish hours at work and come home to this. Thank you.

[@ratspike8017]

'Stealer Cult Limo. Do I need to explain this one?

[@FunkBastid]

Rough Riders and IG Beastmen are things I’ve wanted since I started collecting models last year

[@FkRoP]

Hey guys. I just discovered the channel and as a huge fan of the earliest Warhammer and taking nostalgia trip, I'm absolutely loving your content!

[@antimuppet]

Heck Yeah - Ghost Warriors! I saw one of you posting about this on twitter.
