Top 10 Warhammer 40k Models That Need a Refresh!

Honestly I think it's been far too long since we've had a Primaris Lieutenant. Needs a refresh badly!

I grew up in Nottingham UK. We all stood with a wide stance back in the day.

"picks up lone genestealer, half a dozen of his pals cling on to him for dear life"

I love how the METAL Phoenix Lord being sold in 2021 didn't make the list but a Primaris unit released in the same year did.

The avatar of Khaine wants a word.. This dates back to early 2nd ed.

Honestly, I think we could use a new Primaris Lieutenant. It's been forever since we got a nice new one.

I feel like including the Storm Speeder on this list goes against what this is supposed to be. It's blocky, strange looking and an utter disappointment yes, but the model doesn't need a refresh. It's plastic, looks new and - as far as I know - is a fairly decent kit.

3:10 I CAN FINALLY SAY I'M AS GOOD AS EAVY METAL TEAM!!!

I think they should remake an inquisitor karamazov. I can't imagine how epic it would be.

the wide stance was most probably to make the casting process easier - remember many of these models are so old they initially been spun-cast out of pewter

the primaris landspeeder ain't going anywhere unless it's sales completely tank

"There must be a method to this madness." Queue South Park banking scene where they cut of a chickens head and let its body decide what to do

Noise marines absolutely need a refresh before khorne berserkers, the fact that they never even had a proper kit and are now reduced to a finecast upgrade sprue that is incompatible with the new chaos marine sculpt puts them ahead of even aspect warriors in my eyes. Sonic blasters also have a very unique design, so unlike berserkers they are incredibly difficult to source suitable bits for. The best you can really do for them is picking up the kakophoni from forge world, but even then that will only get you the basic loadout, no doom siren or blastmaster. Slaanesh has finally received updates in AoS to bring them up to being on par with the other chaos gods, so it would be nice to see it in 40k as well. Also the new plastic kit that needs a redesign imo is repentia, I've said it before and I'll say it again, the gym clothes do not look good or match the lore. I generally don't mind if their focus was for them to be less sexy, but they could have done it without completely removing the torn robes and instead just make them less revealing and increase the self-flagellation, keeping them lore friendly. Also daemonettes could do with a refresh, they don't look terrible, but they look way too static for an army that is meant to be all about speed. Also my theory for older model's wide gait is that having that stance made them easier to attach to slotta tabs.

Holding off building my World Eaters till we get updated Berserkers! Come on GW, give them the Death Guard/Thousand Sons treatment and build them out into a proper army! Demon Primarch Angron and dedicated models for Red Butcher terminators would be dope!

before even watching KHORNE BESERKERS AND POSSESSED christ those models look bad now, and berserkers are tiny compared to all the other SM type models its actually comical the especially painfull thing about both is that there are other models which could so easily be adapted to match them (blood warriors from AoS and things like the gal vorbak from 30k) but are either more expensive or require buying multiple kits to kit bash them just let me buy some cool looking berserkers again

Good list. I'd add to this list chaos defilers Noise mariens and all tau tanks. We need more better tau tanks.

But what about noisemarines?

As a somewhat new hobbyists I didn’t realise some of the eldar minis were as old as me but I love the aesthetic of them so much I didn’t care and still got them but would love to see some Updates Especially the guardians they’re great but they could be better

Hate to add extra Tyranid to the list (but it kina shows state of the Army). The most wanted and powerful unit of Tyranids in the Kill Team, Lictor - 2008 Fine Cast

i personally think the air speeder looks nice, but to each his own
