And the most part of those miniatures is even made of metal. Sisters of battle don’t have normal plastic miniatures at all. Unfortunately, there are no news about the upgrade yet.Īnd you surely know, who’s the winner here. They are so ridiculous, that many potential Eldar players quit collecting this faction right from the start. And they also have design straight from the 3 rd edition… The only thing that is worse that those miniatures is their lords. Small resin kits, with monolith similar miniatures and no options. We could deal with old warriors and vehicles, but the aspects are nightmare. The second place is rightfully taken by Eldar. May be, just improving the Rhino the way that the other components will still work with it, would be a nice solution. So, if GW decides to change them, they will need to keep the concept, and change all the vehicle range, since its based on the same Rhino. They even don’t match modern space marines’ size. The situation here is quite difficult – old vehicles have become iconic for Warhammer, but the sets are rather old and primitive. Also, Berserkers have been waiting for the new miniatures since the 3 rd edition… And the problem with bikers and vehicles also touches the loyal space marines. And, since, we have a new tactical squad now, there’s no guarantee that those upgrades will work with it. Be sure to buy a couple of resin upgrade-packs, since only one of them is not enough for a complete squad. For example, noise marines don’t even have their own set. Sure, they don’t have the right to nag now, but the release didn’t touch all the old ugly miniatures. The third-place strangely belongs to Chaos. The good thing is that Orks have many alternative miniatures, and the faction itself supposes conversions, kitbashes and experiments.

Right, Ghazghkull? Besides, even popular plastic sets of boys and nobs look old and clumsy. Also, most characters are old-fashioned and not big enough. Commandos and Tankbustaz are still represented by monolith resin miniatures. They are rarely remembered in the context of old miniatures, but they surely have a lot of them. However, people mostly just don’t use the units that have no relevant miniatures. Don’t forget that most part of the characters is still made of resin.

And even Cadians don’t match modern standards. If you prefer Tallarn, Valhalla, or Vostroyans, you have to look for old metal miniatures, which are no longer available at GW website.

Here we have an obvious disbalance – nonetheless, there are many different forces, each one with a unique design and now even tactics, only the Cadians have normal miniatures. The fifth place is taken by the Astra Militarum. And what about the others? Let’s see who else needs an upgrade in our top-5. The Chaos is very lucky -almost all their old models get an update, and now they can pretend to be the most fashionable faction of Warhammer 40K.
