Pick a Mix POLL (Will)
🕑 Added 2022-08-10 13:23:15 +0000 UTCFollowing 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! :)

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 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!

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

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!

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

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

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

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..

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

You had me at civilians lol
