Yeah, that's always something that bothered me too.
You'd think a race nearing extinction wouldn't have an entire fighting force of expendable cannon fodder.
What is even the point of guardians, and why are they so squishy?

After 10000 the pre-fall space crack finally wears off and the farseers and autarchs realize that it is in fact very much not a good idea to put the last remnants of your dying civilisation in harm's way. The path system remains to stave of slaanesh, but any fighting-related stuff is done by drones now. The path of the poet especially sees a massive influx. The eldar no longer fight themselves, but they drop crazy rhymes about their drone force kicking ass.

This is the best edition ever.

We have fine tuned the system in only a minor way with changes to:
Miniatures availability
Army Selection
Points Values of every model/unit available to play
The stats of all models, weapons, armour.
Moving to a d4 system
Missions
Deployment
Objectives
Victory conditions
Terrain
Movement
Shooting
Psychic phase
Charging
Close Combat
Morale
Flyers will be worth taking (until the following edition)

One thing I've actually unironically wanted to see in a wargame is a smart board.

Imagine each model is held together by magnetic joints and the table papers them. When they are shot they collapse or fall to pieces

But you paint full articulate models that are powered through their feet and HUD appear when they fire or look for targets

Well that sounds expensive. And then you factor in the GW multiplier....

Maybe from Gundam Assemble...

Infinity has this and it is genuinely useful, it's very restricted and doesn't hallucinate answers.

This tickles me because often 40k essentially already is.

With the new edition, a new version of Inquisitor is released... using the JoyToy toys...

Enjoy finding terrain!

In order to reassure everyone that using the ai is fine, they use an extremely locked down version of ai, specifically the same ai Minecraft implemented recently. Anything that is not exactly a question in the training data will be met with a response of “I don’t know.” So if you ask how many wounds a primaris intercessor has, it will simply say “I don’t know”. It will then update the datasheets online from 2 sounds to a question mark. Soon, all stats will be a question mark, and no one will know what stats any model has.

JoyToy vs. Barbie? That sounds like something you should not google at work…

I have a feeling that the keyword: Joytoy into a work computer might raise a red flag or two.

Sadly Joytoy models would be cheaper than any inquisitor scale models if they re-released them.
Some individual characters are more expensive than Joy Toy models.

I can buy a Joytoy redemptor dreadnought $15US cheaper than a GW redemptor dreadnought here in Australia.

In 11th edition the =][= REDACTED =][=

Please report to local office of the Inquisition for reprogramming...

Seems like an easier way to get there would be as an AR (Augmented Reality, not gun) set up.

Models are really cool and all, but the tech is there to scan your models, auto populate "break points" for damage sims, lighting/flesh effects, etc. Seems very doable.

Definitely an option, I just like the tangibility of the real models with the advantages the tech can provide.

Also, I wanted to live Small Soldiers when it came out really bad, so this would do that.. :p

Due to the popularity of online sportsbooks and betting on sports. Games Workshop will unveil a new feature of Warhammer+ which will give you the odds of your army winning versus specific opponents.

Sadly, the new edition borrows from Kill Team and Classifies that only certain Detachments are available for Tournament play... and old ones are retired after 6 months.

Oh, you didn't hear? In 11th Edition all games are Tournament Only.

363 - 11th edition will offer unheard of variation in rolls as all Space Marine and Chaos Space Marine armies move to rolling d8s.
364 - Other factions will continue to use d6
365 - Except for the Solid Gold Space Marines, they use d10s.
366 - And orks who will use a d4.

They will release a range of new marine chapters that allow you to use the play styles of xenos armies without having to lower yourself to buying them, and in shiny power armour.

The gore raider chapter uses massed neophytes with uncontrolled geneseed turning them into I can't believe they're not Orks. Any who survive get bigger and become veterans/nobs with the captains being primarch sized warbosses. They are bad at shooting but good at melee and prefer lower tech weapons. Also going fast.

The scions of the interex are ... Basically just marines that play like tau.

The abominant directive is a horde of mutant marine failures released by inquisitors as shock troops. They are Tyranids.


Now there's even less reason to play anything that's not a marine.

I'm almost sees how someone in GW read this and make notes... and send tasks to design team...

And you’ve just redefined Stargrunt

This would not be a negative thing!

I'm actually not wholly opposed to this.

378 - Per this thread:

https://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/817738.page

fliers will be banned in 11th edition. However tunnellers will become common and each faction will get a new tunneller and a new 'mole' weapon which fires tunnelling warheads to seek out tunnellers before the emerge. Q3 2026 will be the Autumn of Tunnellers.

379 - Q1 2027 will be the spring of Swimmers as maritime battles like the fore, followed by Q2 2027, the summer of submersibles.

380 - Q1 2028 will be the Winter of Fliers, but all existing fliers will remain banned so factions can get their new fliers. Say hello to the Primaris Tornado Eagle, the Eldar Hummingbird Gunship, the Ork Dakka Dakka Jet, the Tau VF-1A Veritech and the Imperial Knight Pegasus Jet Titan.

The ork name is not ridiculous enough. It should be something like Wooshboom Snazzbommer.
