Following the Discord discussion where I asked what kits you would like to see me tackle in the future that are not VK or FG. I have decided to put some of your answers into this poll.

Winner will be made for September but the general purpose of this poll is to see some more discussion into what you would like TMC to work on, as we would like to stay community driven and keep the models exciting! :)Joining our Discord is the best place to share your ideas with us! https://discord.gg/tMKdTe9RhZ

Breakdown:The one off kits i made (Deco-bots, Hazmats and Penal Guard) all went down pretty well so I have added a couple of options to expand them a bit, but still intend to keep them as smaller skirmish/support sized forces for now.I think generally the verdict of discussion was that lots of the current 'guard' proxies out there are to very niche tastes and that a more uniformed space force would be of great interest. Being modular at the head and arms could lead to great deal of customisation too. So i have added some poll options for a potential new army to see if that is true.I have also added some Misc kits that are not faction or proxy specific, just inspired or fun kits i feel would be of interest for roll play, world building reasons, dioramas and campaigns.

Decobots - Heavy Infantry: Larger, tanker robots with a variety of melee and ranged weapons ideal for Abhuman proxies.

Penal Guard - Officers: Those criminals recruited into the militia need some guards to keep them focused on the objective right?

Universal Guard - Infantry Builder 1: A space force with Standard issue flak armour and helmets. Less niche stylised, think of the uniformity Halo UNSC infantry,Star ship troopers, Star wars empire troops, modern military, but my own version :)

Universal Guard - Infantry Builder 2: Same as above only a little more battle torn from fighting in the jungle.

Misc - Flight Crew: Not an intentional proxy, just some crew to 'set the scene' for diorama and roll play purposes

Misc - Navy Crew: Not an intentional proxy, just some crew to 'set the scene' for diorama and roll play purposes

Misc - Order Enforcers: 2 or 3 characters acting upon the emperors will

Misc - Civillians: Need some civilians running away or hiding to set the scene of your next battle?Misc - Noble Team: Who's played Halo Reach? 5 Heavily equip guardsmen inspired by the reach team

Misc - Nomad Traders: Small crew of characters exploring the universe through  trade

Misc - Mercenaries: Hired guns from all backgrounds to fill in numbers in a depleted military

Misc - Hired Assassins: Bounty hunters

I think having a standard kit as a starting point would be ideal as it could help determine the flavor of the rest of the line. Looking forward to this!

Sikander

All of these are pretty good. Cross-compatible guard and ragged guard would be especially nice. A long series of multipart civilians would be my favorite.

HURON Romaric

civilians please ! so hard to find good grimdark civilians around here. Great objectives for narrative campaigns !

Michael Shanahan

I'd love to see some non-imperial weapons for the universal guard. Perhaps some "space communist / Greater Good" options.

CommissarGaunt

It'd be awesome to have universal guard with that more generic armor vibe... if they have a vague starship troopers/UNSC feel then they could be drop troops too and that would be sick!

Omni-chan & AQWired

Please let Noble Team win, been hoping for it ever since it was offhandedly mentioned ages ago lol

themakerscult

No matter the winner, if i get time between projects ill try do the others, i am glad all options seem to be of interest as these are the selections i am keen to model! :D

plantcity

I dig all the options but Noble team would be incredible!

Jeremy Mohr

I absolutely love all of these ideas and would love to see them explored over the coming months. Lets really open up the world of 40k and showcase stuff that no one has really tackled before (or at least not in a significant amount).

Sikander

Standard kits for expansion is a great idea.

Nicolas Raoult

I agree with Jeremy Mohr above. I have preferences right now but all options would be great in the long run! :)

Sikander

Or even looted space elf gear...

Ray Peng

Nomads and traders in a western theme would be great or even just a few heads with western hats

Grenstauf

civilians are what i need for escort/target/objective/filler minis.

MantisCore

I'm afraid none of the options here appeal to me very much but I guess the traders could be interesting.

themakerscult

do share concepts and ideas that interest you on discord, we love to hear what people are after

Talentless9

Man, I've been looking for good penal legion guardsman for so long. Still have to find proxies for their tanks for now I guess.

David Eynon

More Decobots! They are unique, customizable, and can fill several niches in several games. They deserve some love...

Peter V

Anything that works stylistically with necromunda I'm into. Love the idea of crews and civilians.

Luc Wijnen

What about something Blood Pact esque? Chaos tainted guardsmen.

Nik Green

Civilians! I need a hundred for an idea

FuriousE

All these sound fantastic. My biggest votes are for the civilians, traders, and decobots, but I like them all. Especially modularity. My printer's been out of whack for the last few weeks, but I've been enjoying the hell out of mixing parts from the ranges to make really cool models.

Insomnia

I like almost all of those ideas!

Ray Peng

All members who voted for the winning choice will be rewarded with a free copy of the chosen STL 🤣

Richard

You had me at civilians lol

Lorenzo

universal guard in a bit of a halo reach optic would be nice, perfect mix of scifi and modern military

Rory Terrill

I am interested in the npc type minis. I want to make dioramas and think having civis or other "crew type" options would definitely expand what scenes I can build.. but.. you added the custom army builder option... So of course.. being a Guard Nutter I'ma have to go with that option of course. Though down the road I would love to see the npcs come to life too.. And thank you sir Brexit for all of the options. May the best one win.. lol. P.s. you might want to get started on the custom troop builder now. I think it's gonna be popular.. Also a shout out to the Guard Dogs army... A revision on them would be cool too..

Rory Terrill

I see a lot of Halo talk too.. I'd like more the SST or the Colonial Marines from Aliens 2 kinda feel.. rough and ready apes for the Emperor.. It's gonna be another Bug hunt gentlemen.. lol

Rory Terrill

I do that too.. you can come up with some crazy looking stuff too..

Will Nexii

Yes!!! Colonial Marines from Aliens, i'd love to see a bug hunt! I'd also like to see some kind of chaos renegade guard a skirmish battle focus is my ideal dream for the one-offs, I play Kill Team more than 40k so kits that can be used as proxies for a KT/skirmish game with equipments and line ups and such, doesn't have to be perfect but i do love wysiwyg for small scale battles

Matt Bussard

Yeeeaaahhh, can we just get em all as we go along lol

Chuck LeChucke

I would like to see all of these in turn. I need more hangers-on, hive scum, and randos for Necromunda, and all of these would fit right in!

Henning Lundheim

Grimdark scifi civilans sounds amazing! Objectives, narrative scenarios, "terrain", RPG - tons of uses

Ray Peng

I thought the Deco Bot's retro styling is really great, it got me thinking with GW cracking down on anything resembling their IP, a retro 1950 style Necro army would be great. it will definitely stand out!

themakerscult
