A new head for the plastic Mauler, or just a bit that connects the spines from his head to his weird hunch. The Blitzer and Bomber look great, but the Mauler is just... derpy.

Indy's DevArt page! Shiny models, ahoy! <-- Updated September 01, 2012 (Now with 37% more shiny RETRIBUTION!)
Satyxis raiders.
Because for some reason I have trouble fielding a bunch of chain-whip-wielding ladies that look like drag queens.
Kara Sloan doesn't really need a resculpt. My conversion/greenstuff skills are pathetic, and even I managed to do the same thing as CeltKhan (although I used Lynch's hand and Sloan's original arm instead—but eHaley is a great idea).
The Black 13th, though... yeah. I think a resculpt would be cool, since only Ryan is particularly dynamic, but I'd be perfectly happy with a scale-fix. And the repeated suggestions for alt-sculpts for models with FA:2+? Yes, yes, a thousand times yes.
"Never trust a man who has not a single redeeming vice."
Like was said before, I'd love to see a Kaelyssa more in line with her art. I'm not a fan of the non pistol style weapon pointing straight up on any model, so any that this is so I'd love to see with a resculpt. Really though, Ashlynn was a long running wish granted.

Signed. To be honest I've always seen him as more...Reznik-ish size in artwork but the model is terribly lacking. But wishing for him to be on medium base looking badass, may as well wish for Menites to get a way to get pathfinder on jacks without warcaster assistance.![]()
If people could put rainbows in zoos, they'd do it.
EHaley - She's carrying about 30ft of cloak, which I'm fairly certain is a rate limiting factor in how much stuff she can kill (LHaley obviously gets a non retarded tailor and loses the monachal wedding dress).
EKreoss - Because it falls so far short of it's artwork.
Centurion - Not a fan of the new plastic kits design, I VANT ZE ARTWORK.
So many models...
Ashlynn, no I'm not kidding.
Kayazy
Legion Archers
Nyss Hunters
Assault Commandos (Still only buy them if they get a rules change though)
Zerkova
pHaley
Behemoth
Not as many I first thought.

Oddly, it looks vastly better when converted with the Ghetorix kit. Instead of waving his hands randomly in the air, he's suddenly doing a badass leaping axe chop at someone.
(edit) For example.
My theory is that he was medium based originally, and it got changed at some point. Now he just looks so cramped, like he's trying to keep his elbows in on a subway.

Some that come to mind:
Beast 09/Vanguards - The Leg positions on these guys are just SO bad.
Kaelyssa
Blackclad Wayfarer - His cloak is so ridiculously lopsided!

Darius wants a resculpt badly. He looks like a walking toilet bowl. He's probably the Cygnar warcaster I've seen convereted most.
Really, if his armour looked like a miniature Stormwall I'd re-buy him in a second.

Definitely new Sloan. I had to get her reposed because I can't stand her model. Art looks amazing, model doesn't live up to that. New Siege would be nice too.
New Nemo/Caitlen - for BRAND new models I am disappointed in them. Epic Nemo is far more dynamic and he's standing on a thingie of some kind. I've been told I should proxy the new Nemo with eNemo because it's such a better model. pNemo could use a resculpt too.
Gravus - sorry dude. You need a new model. Looks like your horse is falling over. Great stats...not so stellar model.
Avatar | Harbinger | eHaley (tired of stabbing myself) | Kaya (looks like she's backhanding someone) | Black 13 (please make them all one piece, since I lost Lynch's hand)
That's all I can think of...for now. Less so for Hordes since I don't have a Hordes army (yet).
To be fair, they're more elite thugs than "ninjas".
I'm still baffled each time I look at the Extreme Warpwolf. That's the kind of piece for which I'd like to know the artist's intention ; he definitely had something in mind, but I don't see it.
And an Extreme model is naturally not going to get a resculpt.
On the other hand, I don't get why Kreoss2 gets so much flak. He does look like his artwork, sans acolytes. Is it the pose ?
Steelhead Halbs
Kayazy Assassins

would have said Ashlynn until just a lil while ago. Now I'm finna buy her.
A 4th Widowmaker model. It bugs me to no end that a 4-man unit only has 3 unique models.
pVlad. Both his regular and alternate sculpts look stupid, which is annoying because I really want to play him but can't bring myself to buy and paint him.
Volkov (Great Bears leader). I dunno why, but the pose just annoys me. His top half is supposed to be dynamic, swinging his axe, but his legs are just planted there, so it looks... off.
Beast 09. Why do you look like you're taking a dump?
MoW Kovnik. Just eww. Also, he needs to go back to a shield cannon and Annihilator Blade (still with WM) like the Drakhun and Shocktroopers.
Fenris. The stupid pose he's pulling with both arms out straight just looks retarded.
Behemoth. "Look ma, I'm dancin'!". Doesn't work for something that's supposed to weigh 20+ tons. Make him look like his artwork.
nom nom nom
A la? Minus sling and plus both hands on the weapon. BTW, you would be surprised how hard it was to find that. Would have figured more guys would have motto pics of them with their weapons......
Oh, and +1 to a female GMCA. Might have to get that and then mess with one of my male ones to replace Watts.....or something similar.....
The Black 13th made to scale and the Stormclad resculpted along the lines of the other plastic jacks.
Models Painted:
Cygnar 170
Everblight 12 (re-painted) 70 (painted - to be re-painted)

The Extreme Warpwolf is my favourite Extreme model. I feel lonley and afraid now.
The seraph looks like the ridden beast from legion but with downs. So that. And those poor kayazy are kinda lame for how often you see them. The fourth widow maker being a repeat. And the fa 2 and 3's that only have one sculpt! Like arcanist and soulless.
Oh and thinking about it I hate eyriss epic version. She's on a building ledge. A building ledge. While usually hiding in a forest... *** is that.
She is Bat Eyriss , protector of gargoyle heads every where![]()
On the battlefield! Who fights in cities?
I love the nq eyriss I have three! Its a badass pose. Of course I have never used either in a game lol.

Behemoth!!! I even got the new resin/metal kit and it is still a pain to assemble. What is with that one leg in the air pose???
pCaine 1-1
pStryker 1-0
For skorne, probably the basilisk, love the art work but the sculpt is real bug eyed looking. The cyclops raider is a bit on the goofy side also.
Actually, I think a number of these are possible; it seems like Privateer has slowly been updating outdated and underwhelming sculpts, ever since the MkII resculpts of pCaine and pSkarre. Here are my picks:
--Zerkova. I love the art. Then I look at the model and want to cry. Horseface Extreme, the crazy running pose, and the ridiculous ice cream cone combine to make one of the worst caster sculpts in the game. And I don't even play Khador.
--Epic Sorscha. IMHO, every version of Sorscha, except for the new battlebox/two-player set pose, is pretty bad, but eSorscha takes the cake. Crouching down on that ice floe, smiling like a doof...where's the crazy avenging angel we see in the art?
--pMakeda. One of my favorite characters in the game, not an awful sculpt, but I hate the "I'm swinging my swords from side-to-side, and if you get in my way..." pose. Something a little more dynamic or, alternatively, more commanding, would be appreciated.
--Kaelyssa. The book art is lovely, one of my favorites in either Warmachine or Hordes, but the sculpt is static and, worse, doesn't use the character design very well (those arrow holsters are so unflattering in that pose that I call her "Thunder Thighs"). Something more like the book would almost convince me to get a small Retribution force, just to field her.
--Steelhead Halberdiers. I actually think these are very nice models, but dear God, no base infantry for any faction should be so infuriating to assemble. I have eight of them left to put together, and I use at least one full unit of them in, like, every game. The ones I do have assembled sport weird aberrations up close, like hands that barely connect to wrists. Great sculpts, poorly designed models.
--Renegade. Because Magnus has enough anger issues without looking at all those Cygnar light resculpts and getting 'jack envy.
--Cylena and the Nyss Hunters. This is one unit that has actually cost Privateer my money. Every time I think of picking up these guys, I think about the player I knew who had at least one piece fall off <i>in every single game.</i> Then I put away my wallet.

Sons of Bragg. Whoever greenlighted the Derpy McBabylegs trio should be ashamed.
Really? I love the eSorscha model, although I don't think the P3 Studio paintjob does it credit. The rocks are pretty much anything you want them to be (they're rocks on my base), and the sculpt's face is actually more of a scowl, it only looks like a smile in the Studio picture because of the angle.
