Cool, here’s a few suggestion for resin miniatures based on things I’d like to see and things that no one or very few people produce

Giant Insects, Millipedes, Scorpions, ect made to fit nicely on a 30mm round base (in fact casting them with an integral 30mm base will mean you don’t need to worry about fragile legs and stuff sticking out)

Squigs well you won’t be able to use the name Squigs, but take a look at all the different kinds of Squigs GW never made miniatures of. I guess you could call them ‘Beastlings’ or something

Man Traps bear trap jaw style traps - again cast on integral 30mm bases so as to take up 1 square on a standard dungeon map

 Shields remember the old chaos shields by citadel covered with stylised skulls and demonic faces, some stuff like that would be awesome (I can draw up loads of designs)

Baggage back-packs, bedrolls, satchels, ect suitable for attaching to Sci-fi and Modern tanks and vehicles as well as baggage wagons and pack horses for Fantasy and Historical

Different kinds of balls for BB type games
- Regular American style football
- Spiked football
- Bomb ball with fuse
- Demon ball with teeth
- Winged ball (may prove difficult/impossible to cast)

Space Stations For your star-ships range I’d suggest making a few space stations, asteroid bases and orbital defence platforms

Sci-fi Doors for use with Space Hulk type games or adding to Sci-fi Terrain. Plenty of people do Fantasy doors, but very few do Sci-fi ones

I can provide concept sketches for any of the above and notes on how to cast them too

I’ll post some more ideas when I come up with them
