797 pages of said thread will be an argument about the value of house rules

EDIT: oh wait..."completely false and made up"...change that to "the entire thread will remain on topic"

The first 386 pages will be determining what the meaning of "Armor" and "Tank". The thread will get locked after the thread devolves into Female Tanks not being represented properly.

Sadly, that is probably far closer to the truth than you realise.

And don’t forget the offshoot thread that points out how it’s spelled armour, and then runs off with the general misspelling of amour (so you can play rouge trader, obviously).

Then there will be 6 threads on Gen Discussion as to whether or not a good player ALLOWS another person to play in the filthy disgusting casual manner of "armor facing tanks". As opposed to the far superior "Armour faced Tanks".

Due to the outcry over quickly outdated Codices and armies long awaiting a Codex, GW will reformat the Codex system: After the release of the rulebook, one Codex will be released each month. That Codex will include one unit from each Army.

This will ensure all hobbyists get regular updates to their army, and no hobbyist has to spend more than others to buy a Codex, Codex Supplement, and Battlezone supplement to get their full rules.

Also at release will be available the massive Liber Astartes: All the Stuff Space Marines Get That No One Else Gets. This will include 300 pages of Primaris Lieutenants.

I don't know why no one has said this, but the new Secundus Marines will be brought out, and they will be replaced by Tertius Marines. All non Tertius Marines will be send to Legends. 3 Entire Chapters of Astartes will go to legends, including The Blood Angels, who were finally so depleted after 4 books, that only Meph is left, and he is inducted into Death Watch, which is also later Legended.

213 - GW will go BIG into 3D printing. GW stores and FLGS will have dedicated GW high-speed resin printers turning out an infantry sized model in under 15 minutes.

214 - Most of GWs back catalogue of OOP models will be available for downloading and local printing with literally hundreds of models added each week.

215 - Once the back catalogue is out a proprietary GW app will be rolled out allowing fans to repose and rearm models as they wish.

216 - With distribution issues now moved online GW games will become accessible in new places around the world with chains of GW stores opening across China, India and South America.

217 - Of course all this will come at a price, with some models costing as much as $5 each.

218 - Worse yet, some Codex books will speak about Amour Faces reopening the long standing debate about Space Marine sex.

(Can someone tell me why my FB feed is full of stories about whether Captain America is a virgin?!)

219 - In order to promote the launch of 10th, GW will permit fan content creators to use their IP for free without the threat of C&Ds heading their way en mass.

220 - All deployment is from air-drops. Aircraft are a detachment requirement

Gw no longer sells models, they sell Sprue Boxes. No longer will you suffer the plague of identical models! You get two random arms, a random body, random head, random weapon and two random legs! Your models will still need to be legal of course, and need to have both a left arm and a right arm (same for legs).

Aww shucks, didn't get a right arm in your Sprue Box? Just buy another one, what are the odds you keep getting left arms?*


* the chance of finding a right limb turns out to be around 1/10 for both legs and arms, at least initially. Gw soon capitalizes on this system by introducing rarity tiers in bits.

After hearing constant online complaints about Stratagems/CP for 2 editions, GW removes them entirely from the game.

In their place, they introduce a micro-transaction loot box system where you can purchase (for actual currency) minor one-use boons for your units, such as a dice reroll, the ability to fire overwatch, the ability to interrupt the combat sequence, certain benefits that should really be wargear such as smoke launchers or anti-aircraft weapons, extra warlord traits, extra relics, etc...

In fairness, the maximum number of loot boxes you can purchase will be limited by game size to 12 for Strike Force and 6 for Incursion. At least initially. .

That's dark. Here's your +1

Microtransaction rules can be purchased during play in an app but only work for the battle round they are purchased in.

There will be a NEW stat in all stat blocks, to reflect the entirely new Psyker system.

PS, and PT. Psychic Strength, and Psychic Defense

These will indicate the ability by which any unit in the game can resist Psychic attacks, actions, or perform them. So if say, a Wyrdvane psyker attempts to smite an Ork Weird boy, The wierd boy PD5 would be able to resist the Weird vane's PS of 2. However, if the unit of Wierd vane has 6+, it has a PS of however many in that unit, so 6+. So it would be able to smite.

No rolls, no BS attempts to stop the spell. Just strength against Strength.

Vehicles will have 0-1 PS/PD. dedicated Psykers will have above average PS, and PD.

Characters with no psychic ability will have above average PD, and no PS. on their ability to rally and suffer through it.

Psychic actions will now be limited to spells alone.

Blank type units will not cast an aura of +X to Psychic defense. So a Custodian which might have an average of 0/4 for PS/PD, would now get 0/5-6+ depending on how many sisters are within range.

Culexus will not just cause wounds to any psyker within LoS if they manifest a psychic power.

This will of course legends any unit statblock that does not conform.

All citadel paints, models and books now have an electronic tracker that causes expiration and self destruction after 6mo.

This, this is dark. Stratagems will be sold in blind packs and you'll have to rip them up after using.

I hope no one from GW is reading this thread.

GW will release a new Matched Play Randomiser App "MPRA". It must be used in all tourneys whether anyone likes it or not.

The MPRA will randomise and generate both player's armies for them, disregard any force organisation rules and force you to use the generated army.

A player who does not have 100% of the fully table ready models with them automitically loses the game.

In the event both players are unable to meet the egregious outputs of the MPRA then the player who can fulfill the greater number of unit requirements wins.

U-Haul trucks will be unavailable to the entire US during NA tourneys as a direct result.

Steve Jackson kinda did that in the 90’s. Yes I did have some of these.

After the rousing success that was the "can't deploy within 9" inches" stipulation, 40k now streamlines use of Strategic Reserves even further by now having units no longer be able to deploy/reinforce/arrive within 6" of a board edge/etc. onto the board if there are any enemy units already on the battlefield. Also units with pre-game moves will not be able end their pre-game movement within 72" of the opponent's deployment zone.

My god that is a horrendous system! One-use cards!

Yup!

Excellent artwork though.

I mean forget being the first CCG, is this the first microtransaction DLC ever? For every single game? talk about being ahead of their time!

The moral of the story? Be careful what we joke about, as there may already be precedence!

And if memory serves from scratching them cards, sometimes there was just No Way You Could Ever Have Won. As in, no matter where it was scratched, you’d lose.

But still gorgeous artwork regardless.

Oh yes, BLIND BUY scratch off Stratagems!

Buy a single card for $3, scratch it off when you play to see what it does! We may be hitting peak evil here!

That, but it’s printed on highly flammable paper, and the scratching is like lighting a match. Ensures cards can’t be re-used, and you have maybe a few seconds to read what benefit you got.

And then cross reference through the rulebook AND the codex for each army on the table to make sure there are no major incompatibilities

Truly a Mission Impossible! there should be a separate rule that lets you win if you ever actually manage to pull one of these things off without a valid challenge from your opponent.
