I guess the only thing itching me lately would be revising the Wraithguard rule on pg. 62

Eldar 4th Codex wrote: Squad: 3 to 10 Wraithguard. A unit of 10 wraithguard led by a spiritseer may be fielded as either an Elites choice or a Troops choice.


I would want it to say 'Squad: 3 to 10 Wraithguard. A unit of wraithguard led by a spiritseer may be fielded as either an Elites choice or a Troops choice.' So you can have Mecha Wraithguard count as troops and actually be able to mimic Melta spam. I don't know when ever I think of an all fluffy wraith army this rule always shoots the idea down cause the only way to do it right now is footslog 10 guys with weapons that have a 12" Range oh yeah that will survive well... -_-' stupid 10... That OR I could always complain about the transport rules under the Wave Serpent entry treating Wraithguard as double count blah! But I think thats a bit more extreme then changing out that 10.

I'd demand that they burn Matt Ward at the stake.

But since that's infeasible just replace the Inquisition rules as they stand with the MrSako Inquisition Codex (which has lists for the Inquisition and all three Chambers Militant built off of minimal changes to the 3rd edition Inquisition Codexes).

Make IG Techpriests more worthwhile. Some thoughts that I've tossed around with friends have been more special abilities, the ability to bring back a wrecked vehicle, or even the ability to bolster area terrain (like some other unit I know).

Or at least make him as hard to kill as his dawn of war manifestation

I will split your thoughts open!

oooo I thought 4th edition was the one where rapid fire weapons get 50% range when fired after moving.
Well now, I guess we know what we should get for 6th now eh?'

I like how everyone seems to think that Mat Ward makes all of his codexes in a vaccum, with his door locked, and all the other GW employees pounding on the door, begging him to stop.

GW people: Please Mat Ward!!! Don't screw up all the codexes!!!!

Ward: Muahahahah!!! I'm giving purifiers the ability to kill half a unit before they even get a chance to strike!

GW people: No, don't do it Mat Ward! Don't skrew up the Grey knights codex!

Ward: And in the blood angels codex, i'll put the word 'Blood' before every piece of wargear in the codex!!! And have the Blood angels team up with necrons!!!

GW people: Stop Mat Ward!!! That's really stupid, your skrewing up the fluff!!!!

Ward: Muahahahahahah!!!!! No-one can stop me!!!!!

Really, GW has told us that the making a of a codex is not the product of one person's effort. They all work on it together. Mat Ward is just the unlucky sod who's name goes on the cover. For all we know, Ward may have written all the balanced parts of the codex, and did everything he could to fight infinante attack blood talon furiosos. Besides, half of the people who are howling for his blood barely know who he is, and are just jumping on the Hatorade bandwagon.

Guess who already has dread librarians Dread's wouldn't really fill a command role though, considering mostly they sleep and go nuts in combat.
