Maybe a hot take but I really think Thousand Sons, especially after the release of Space Marine 2, would benefit a lot from a range refresh to primaris scale and new units to come with it. They did say 2025 was the "year of chaos" so I'm hoping it's not JUST because of Emperor's Children

Left Kieran bringing the hot takes today! As a sisters player, I really like the Dogmata. I feel like her stoic pose stands out in comparison to the rest of our models that tend to be charging, screaming angry girls. And Chaos Lord in Terminator armour is just a gold mine of a kit - it's maybe *the* best character kit in Warhammer for the sheer wealth of options you get. Plus, the sorcerer gets his lil' gremlin familiar buddy, probably one of my favourite "little guys" in the 40k range.
Some great options here chaps. I dont have that much experience with some of the older models. But for adding to Votann i think they could actually pull off something like the centurion (whatever the baby carrier is from the SM range) GSC could maybe be similar. Something like a repurposed heavy lifter that they've welded scrap to make it armoured. Could start as T12 or something but when bracketed it becomes T9/8
@@the_kieran_show I disagree with your tau choice though I want bigger Crisis suits not bigger fire warriors especially since the Kroot and Vespid refreshes removed the obvious choices
Not sure I agree that the predator need to be on a gladiator chassis. I've always preferred the look of the Rhino, Razorback, Predator to the hover tanks. If I could, I'd just upscale them a bit
Yeah that also works. If GW decide they want to keep that chassis, they all need updating. Or just commit to moving them to the gladiator, this weird limbo between the two is annoying!
I would have said plague marines because in my opinion they are to good for a filler unit that they all feel like characters and you would notice painting so many
@@jamiekemp1011 I us the bone reaper mogahast model. I’ve put mine flying on a some scarabs. But painted metallic there is very little conversion required
Maybe a hot csm take because everyone forgets about it but obliterators Get it out of a dual kit, give it options, get rid of the chaos nappies, if you're feeling funky add melee options
I think they should fix the new ork boyz so they are not mono pose, since fielding an ork army of like 30+ some boyz with the same poses over and over it just takes away the charm of the Orks. Also give the Tau Stormsurge some arms for the greater good,its just so weird to see such a nice mini and rhen no arms, if that thing ever get arms then im starting a Tau army.
Any of the non-Space Marines that are actually Space Marine or bigger in size in the lore because GW is still releasing minis that shouldn't be stunty because they're for ranges that haven't been upscaled. The stupid Firstborn v Primaris lore they went with is the main reason it's bad but Chaos Space Marines should be same size as Primaris (maybe they can do a "Abaddon infuses the Legions of Chaos across the galaxy with dark power thanks to Vashtor" storyline?), same with Grey Knights and Death Watch. Custodes should be just that little bit bigger, maybe hard to spot unless you stand them right next to each other. But that Custodes character they released is ridiculous.
@the_kieran_show they made a mistake over the whole Primaris thing. Space Marines in lore are the size of Primaris minis. Instead of just slowly updating the range with better minis and leaving everyone to upgrade as they want they did the whole lore reason for the new minis. Meaning non Primaris can't be the size of Primaris minis without a similar lore reason. So now they're backed into a corner. New minis have to fit the existing range and lore even though they're also too small in the lore. Means there'll be a steady size increase over multiple years with new stuff getting a little bigger each time probably. End up with Chaos collections that look weird and don't all match up with each other probably.
Centurions. They are so close to achieving the perfect balance of "silly but cool" that is a good representation of 40k. But they narowly miss the mark. GW should release a new, Primaris-appropriate version of Centurions at the proper new size with slightly reworked proportions.
Somehow I’ve never seen the Inquisitor Karamazov mini until now and I’m now on board with it needing an update just because I want to paint one after seeing it 😅 There’s so much that needs refreshes. The main reason I don’t want to start some armies is the models are just.. oof- ugly af. Also, I started wondering during this video that if you keep doing videos talking about minis you haven’t before.. how long it’ll be before Kieran has a folder on his computer with pictures of every single GW mini that he’s had to manually remove the white background from? Lmao
Forget all of that… WE NEED A NIGHTLORDS RANGE
Correct!
Not wrong!
@@the_kieran_show Wdym “not wrong”🤨🤨🤨
We basicly have that if you have enough money to keep buying the kill team and kit bash every thing
@@the_non_binary_necorn170 yeah but I want a named character (maybe sevatar or Talos😭(rip Talos)), the legion specific terminators, and more stuff like that
World eaters it has too be the butchers, but some marines on juggers would be awesome
Yeah all the chaos legions need their own terminators!
I'm really looking forward to the Grey Knights refresh, especially after seeing the new Deathwing Knight models!
Yeah imagine how good they would/will be!
the execution of the soul grinder is so awful that i had never even considered how cool an updated version could be.

To be fair, Logan Grimnar makes a good base for a santa kit-bash for FLGS to put in the display case/window come chrismas time.
That much is true 😂
The tyranid norn emissary. It’s beautiful.. but should have been knight size!
Controversial!

When it comes to Votann, it should be noted that the salvagers kill team has an operative who is literally a dwarf with a jump pack
Yeah, I forgot to mention that’s the one I was meaning. They need a squad of those!
@@the_kieran_show agreed. if we don't get them on codex release I will be shocked

A Librarian Dread on the Remdemptor chassis would be perfect for the BA range reckon you could do it as just an upgrade sprue as well
Yeah it would be wicked.

More gribley lil' freaks please!
Always!
There are rumours that not only are we getting new Warp Spiders, we may also be seeing a Warp Spider Phoenix Lord!
Would love to see your thoughts on going through the Necromunda range and rating the different kits and would you want to paint them!
Not sure I agree that the predator need to be on a gladiator chassis. I've always preferred the look of the Rhino, Razorback, Predator to the hover tanks. If I could, I'd just upscale them a bit

Great video as always, and I completely agree we the warp spiders!
Next painting challenge when?
Sooooooooooooon

They could be so much cooler!
Straight from the Discord notification to the video. Thats my morning viewing sorted
Could not agree more
@@jamiekemp1011 agreed

Currently figuring out how to make my chaos terminators more world eaters-y, so I would be 100% on board with a refresh
Yeah imagine if you got red butchers that did the work for you!

Book it.
That sounds wicked!
nah man after the BA range refresh i dont want to roll the dice with space wolves
Understandable 😂
Wulfen defo need a refresh/exterminatus
A new Karamazov would be amazing. I wish GW would realize grimdark actually appeals more than all of the watered down stuff.
So true!
Red Butcher termies will never happen. Juggernaut Cav tho.
WE CAN HOPE
Also: Guard needs Tallarn
GSC needs special unique ‘stealer sculpts
Unique stealers could be cool!
Let them have the Malstrain stuff!
Maybe a hot csm take because everyone forgets about it but obliterators
Get it out of a dual kit, give it options, get rid of the chaos nappies, if you're feeling funky add melee options
Yes! This is also true!!! Release a proper kit for them 😂
A commemorative series mini doesn't fix anything, it just means people collecting the army at the right time are fine.
This is also true!
You didn’t pick Lucius the eternal for csm
More minis more often!!!!
Warhammer+ is that you…
You forgot the link to the lord of contagion. Oh… wait…
🪰🪰🪰🪰
You will disagree but an Alpha Legion range would be awesome, also some new Deathwatch.
Alpha legion just keeps getting refreshed. Who did the lion come back with? Alpha legion
Deathwatch being an actual range again would be wicked!

Nicer newer CSM tanks.. the Rhino and vindicator kits are old ass
THISSSSSS
War psiders have metal minis and fien cats. the metal mins that are older than both of ye are better. The finecast are hot garbage.
Great choice with the CSM terminator Lord. That model is terrible and needs a hammer.
Yes he does!
