Formations similar to 40k, giving bonuses for specific builds would be nice. Even multi racial formations.

I was on the fence about all the change for Fantasy, ready to jump off on the Hater side and a friend simply said "If Fantasy had less models, I'd play. Right now one unit in fantasy can have as many models as a whole 40k army." and It made me realize what someone just starting out faces. Ive been playing Warhammer since late 90s and havew several HUGE ARMIES. If anything the new ed. could be another game I can play with my Fantasy models. Keep the old books for big games/campaigns and the new edition for smaller games.

Anything that bring new players in for fantasy around here is good.

Oh you mean the throng of metal? Because let me tell you how WONDERFUL it is to play against.

Let me take dwarves and give all their shooting a 5+ to get an extra shot turn 1. Yes this means cannons & organ guns.

Now I cast crucible & take those 2 bricks of hammerers off the table. Better hope you dispel it...oh wait...

At the START of my next movement phase I can place them ANYWHERE on the table, like say 1 inch behind your key units. Now it's time to declare charges, like say my hammerers 1" away from the REAR of your key units meaning they can take it or they can flee into shooting range for the shooting phase... gee it'd be a shame if that were allowed.....

Then let's not forget Gelt casts AND dispels at +7 thanks to the banner of valaya, super fun time guys. Keep the 40 krap out of fantasy. We don't need or want endless "supplements", stupidly broken allies combinations, and more random tables than a flea market.

Hell even the end times allies as they are suck. Look at the masters, I think 8 out of the top 10 lists were either host of the eternity king or chaos legions.

Please Please Please GW , keep-keep Skaven SEPARATE from Chaos.

I've always hated Chaos with the passion-passion of a million burning suns since I started with GW gaming in the late 80s. PLEASE don't make my rat-rat army part of Chaos. :(

With GW's trend with WH40k and making ALL OF THE CODEXES I expect their to be more armies not less. Some speculations would be, certain empire city states, certain vampire blood lines, a clan pestilence book to start and much more to come along with the standard codexes... It just wouldn't be GW if they wanted to give us more for less.
