What about a thread to post suggestions and things we like to see in the future?

To me, I'd like a few more factions for the Grimdark setting (specifically, the Firefight variant) to cover some armies actually not availble.
1) Zombie horde. Source of inspiration: 40K poxwalkers, Mantic's Plague. Characterisrtics: large number of mindless, low profile troops, enhanced by a few hero-type units.
Possibly, once second wave will be ready, it will be we will be able to made it as sub-list of Havoc-Brothers, or as an "organic" variant of Robot Legion (?) .
2) Space scoundrels. Source of inspiration: Mantic Deadzone Rebs, 40K Rogue Trader, Star Wars, etc. Characteristics: a ragtag group of mixed races outcasts, fighting for some personal motivations, or for the highest bidder.
3) Big guys. Source of Inspiration: AT-43 Karmans, Dark Age Dragyri. Characteristics: race of large sized humanoids. More wounds, but (usually) fight outnumbered.
Possibly already available by using Orc Marauders and picking just "bigger" options (i.e. the ones with Though) ...?

Also, what about a section in the forum for batreps and hobby (modeling and painting) pics? Maybe a bit early (forum partecipation isn't very high, so we can keep with the current structure for the moment)...

Yeah, I have some Dark Legion for Mutant Chronicles. Monsters, undead.

1) I've been thinking about something similar inspired by Mantic's Plague, so it may well happen in the future.

2) The TAO Coalition has always been something like a rebel group in my mind, but the idea of having a dedicated force for it isn't bad...

3) Another interesting idea here, especially seeing how we have something like that with Ogres for fantasy, so it would be cool to see it for sci-fi too.

I like the Zombie Hord idea. I was thinking about drawing up a race similar to The Flood from Halo.

I somewhat missed these replies. Thanks for your commitment onepagerules 

No hurry, but may I ask if there is any e.t.a. for 2nd and 3rd waves?

A race of large figures for Grimdark Future would be cool, it would be like the Eternal Warriors and Ogres from Fantasy. Lots of Tough(3), low defense units.

I have also been toying with a techno-zombie army, to use my Strain from Sedition Wars. I am still playing with the previous edition (waiting for at least Wave 2 of both games so I can use some of my armies), and toying around with mostly Plague units from the Daemon and Havoc Brothers lists, as the Strain have a couple of big monsters, as well as a couple who are armed with ranged weapons.

Since this is a wishlist, how about an Ancients or Horse & Musket variant for AOF? That would be super cool.

Since we've been having a bunch of people asking for some sort of one-opage historical game we're actually considering putting some work into that in the future, so keep your eyes peeled.

We had a game for those called Army Men Combat, who knows, maybe it'll be back...

Hey all. Any chance we can get some stats and cost for a Soul Grinder? I see the Crab Walker but it doesn't really seem to fit. Thanks!

[onepagerules]

Check out the daemons list.

[wolvermonkey]

I did look in the wormhole daemons 2.1 list but didn't see it there. What is it called in Grimdark Future? Maybe I just don't know what to look for.

What about Necromunda gangs in GF: Firefight and Warcry warbands in AoF: Skirmish?

Check out the Crab Daemons in there.
