So there's some talk about GW making a 'classic 40k game' in the mold of 3rd-8th edition.
30k = Horus Heresy
40k = the game up to like 8th edition
41k = post great rift, primarchs coming out of the woodwork etc
So here's an open thread for other Warhammer 40k (30k, 41k) eras you'd like to see rules/models/novels whatever for.
I'd like to see a Warhammer 29k game. Earth's unification, Thunder Warriors, ancient techno beasts, nomad warrior clans, the Emp, rogue psykers, ghosts and demons, you name it. Plus, y'know, a planet we've heard of and kind of care about. Skirmish scale, everything as John Blanche and Grimdark as you can make it. Basically Ash Wastes Necromunda but with new factions.
Other thoughts?

How do!
Breaking with my traditional approach of asking a question, and instead making a statement. And it’s based on the relatively humble Ork Choppa.
By all accounts, background and models? These are lumpen and, at least for us, ill-balanced weapons. Brutal by simplistic intent.
Now. I am not arguing that a human couldn’t lift one, or even swing one with malice aforethought. That would be a ridiculous and silly claim. But being able to do that, and do so effectively are quite different propositions.
My main observation here is the Ork physiology. Putting aside the muscles described in the models? Your Ork has longer arms than a human, and a squat posture. Which unless I’m mistaken gives it a very different centre of gravity, and potentially a quite different reach.
To wield a melee weapon you kinda need to treat it as an extension of your arm. Being a wuss I don’t exactly know what that means, but I do kinda get it. Essentially your swing doesn’t end at your hand, but the business part of said weapon. And in terms of a weapon and a fighter’s balance? It’s a matter of relevant weight, leverage and other physics things I’m ill equipped to properly describe.
But. Given the Orky instinctual knowledge and again their physiology? Whilst I don’t doubt a regular human could learn how to wield a Choppa? It’s going to be an uphill struggle due to their sheer weight (mass? Seriously, I’m not sure) and the balance point being different for Orks than Humans? If a standard Guardsman or Ganger was to try to wield one, they’d struggle to do so in any meaningful way.
Diggas? As an example of a Human society that kinda ish more of less mostly lives with Orks in some kind of harmony? I’m not going to count them as standard. Because as soon as they’re grown enough to start combat training? It’s probably Orky or Orky-Approximate weapons they’re practicing on. And as...

A simple question. How many models do you have?
Let's say 28mm and the equivalent.
Bases of 6-20mm should equal 1 28mm.
Cavalry 2, and vehicles are probably 5 for smaller ones and 10 for larger ones.
54mm should be equal to 2.
To start, I have several ancient armies in 28mm for Greeks, Macedonians, Early Romans, Republican Romans, Etruscans, and Archamenid Persians. I also have a large group of Gladiators, Gangsters, Supers, Blood Bowl teams, and Heroquest figures. I also have three 40K armies, but they are from 2nd-4th edition so smaller armies, several Necromunda gangs, and a few Kill Teams. Non-28mm I have an American and Martian army for All Quiet on the Martian front, Egyptians, Hittites, Diadochi, and an Imperial 40K force.
Therefore, I probably have about 1,500 - 2,500 miniatures using the system I laid out above.
So, how about you?
