Operation Starter sets:
Redesign all the battleforces to be "Army Starter Sets". A small 500-1000 point army in a box for $100 dollars. Includes an army book. Add an "Expand your army" bundle that allowed for an infantry and a vehicle box, as well as an army specific box, for $70-75 dollars.

Push 6th edition forward, and cut the book price in half. And to fire their lawyer army.

+1 QFT. Began a Thread about something not dissimiliar a while back. My argument was to have two complimentary Battleforce sets in plastic for each Race (A Troop one and say an Elite troop one) e.g a

SM elite One might be 5 x Close Assault Termies a
1 x Dreadnought
1 x Plastic Librarian
5 x plastic set of Sternguard

It would give us the option of paying slightly less in the bundle but support a wider number of possible combinations. I think they are missing a trick here.

Two words: Standard Bearer.

I'd not change what they are doing, just up the release schedule to a 40k codex and WHFB army book release every 3 months.

idea for range of IG armies.

release a box worth about £25 or so which contains 10 leg pieces for specified regiment. then a range of 11-13 torso's
then about 8-10 lasguns used by the regiment, along with one of each type of special weapon commonly used by the regiment. then a host of regiment specific stuff like R. banner, and stuff. plus about 13 heads or so. along with this atleast one of each type of heavy weapon commonly used by the regiment. includes command stuff like medical stuff and vox caster and stuff.

so basically, it is a 10 man squad box, with a command frame, and a heavy weapon frame. i. the box should come with 10 round bases and 1-2 large bases. The idea is to make 10 different men from that regiment.

this is aimed towards regiments like vostroya, mordia, valhalla, tallarn and steel legion, possibly even the harakon warharks (so we don't have to by expensive elysians) or tanith.

Yeah so like a Modular Box set concept. You buy the basic set and then buy a specific Regiment upgrade sprue. Yeah that could work, you could do massive Production runs of the Troops and then tailor the upgrade sprues depending on uptake. I kind of think it already exists in the form of the Cadian Military Box sets?

yesh, but thats just for cadia.
basically for each regiment two box sets will properly make do.

1 box for a 10 man squad
1 box filled with command-hw-vehicle upgrades.

ofcourse it will be far more expensive than if you just stay with cadians, because for every h/w or whatever you still have to buy the 10 man squad even if you don't want one.


P.S. yay! a fellow sheep intercourser!

And a mini rule book!

Because I love our country so much I will not draw attention to this statement. oh wait.......damn

Updated plastic space marine sprues....... then sit back and laugh at all the angry posts on DakkaDakka about the how gw gives too much love to space marines.

-ressurect squats
-new tau/DA/GK/SoB/BT codex

actually, the most important one of all...

ALL PLASTIC KITS!!!

Codex: Death Korps of Krieg.

Alternatively

Bi-monthly Errata/FAQ for all armies.

CKoK? It's a free FW PDF download. I would rather have that than the same with pictures and fluff for £15.

There's a FW DKoK Siege Regiment list, but it's something that half the playerbase recoils in horror from either because its a PDF or because its from FW, regardless of the actual contents. It also only covers Siege Regiments while Krieg fields just about everything but Drop Troop regiments.

It's a fantasy. I realize there are far more things that need updating, that need fixing, and that the basic IG codex is relatively versatile. However my fantasy would still be to see a DKoK codex

DELETE everything !!

And leave a text file: "All your mini's belong to us"

Reschedule the release of all Non Vanilla marines until AFTER all armies are updated to 6th.

I wouldn't mess with the release schedule. I'd just implement a virus that every week diverts an increasing amount of money from GW's "sue people for liking our games on the Internet" budget and puts it into the "hire sculptors who can make a cool model" budget. With a subroutine that upon being discovered, immediately orders GW's lawyer commandos to launch a full shock and awe suit on some website that's been irresponsibly using their IP located at www.games-workshop.com. It would be called, "Operation: NO MORE PORSCHES!"

Oh boy! models that are more expensive!

no i think he meant production cost. + 25% that is still less than GW charges us...

Special Character Contest!

List all the "Named Characters that don't have models."

The model that gets the most votes will be made into a model as a Multi-Plastic Kit and a special Metal collectors form.

I don't think he meant their current retail cost +25%. It's most likely production cost +25%.

Personally I feel 50% gross profit should be fine, though considering you're only getting in once, after about a year or two it should hit that mark.

Me, I'd create and hide a second security flaw so I can get back in at a later date, most likely after compiling various ideas from a thread like this. I'd then hide my real goal by doing something stupid like changing thing to rick'roll whoever follows.

If that's too much then I'd simply fire the lawyer team and introduce a 3rd party license that any sculptor/hobbyist/small business may purchase (at a reasonable, from 3rd party's point of view, price based on production size) in order to use GW names and likeness for their sculpts. No more "Space elves" conversion packs or "Space warrior" shoulder pads.

EDIT: I really need to type faster.

Congrats, you bankrupted GW in less than sixty seconds

Hi all.
I would intitiate 'operation gameplay'.

Write a new core rule set for 40k.(Its been using WHFB game mechanics for far too long!)

With a view of the core rules allowing a straight forward skirmish games ideal for new players.

And the same core rules are a basis for the seperate advanced skirmish game rules ,and the battle game rules.

So after the new players are familiar with the new core rules they can choose which ever follow on rules they want to play.
This alows the same 40k minatures to be used in a wider variety of games by a wider variety of gamers.

And as the core rules dont change , the developers can concetrate on developing more expansions and adding more unit types into the game...(similar to CBT.)

TTFN

Lower prices and no more metal.
Preferably beginning with that frakking Zoanthrope, that would be so much easier to paint/assemble/use in plastic.

the thing is some special models are pretty cool with metal, as in they have cool poses which sometimes MPPCs just can't make (unless you do lots of snippy snippy and GSing. this is good for guys who just want to play and not spend loads of time converting

A Guardsmen kit with shotguns in it. Hell, some metal shotguns in 5-packs would be just fine with me.

HMMMM....well now...

1. Give WGPL the ability to lead skyclaw packs (change the FAQ)
2. Bring back the regiments of reknown for WHFB (I miss the tin can commandos)
3. BLOODBOWL anyone?
4. plastic Thunderhawk, Warhound and TWC kits
5. insert a WHAT EVER IT TAKES bug to bring back RP
6. combine 5th edition and 2nd edition and come out with 6th edition and all relevant codex's at the same time...with a 30% price reduction across the board...

you asked...
