I'm actually not wholly opposed to this.

Orks will still need a 5+ to hit with ranged shooting. Don't worry though, they make up for their inaccuracy with sheer weight of fire. Everyone has 200 d4s to resolve the shooting of 10 shoota boys, right?

Tired of Chaos Space Marines not having their dudes in the same scale, GW has Fabius Bile create Chaos Primaris Marines.

Now all the Marines, both Imperial and Chaos can look the same!

I'd say 'no', but I also run D&D, so it's actually possible I do. I'm pretty sure my dice bag can be classified as a lethal weapon.

The enduring popularity of Stormcast Eternals will see them as the newest playable faction in Warhammer 40k.

New stratagem, spilled caltrops, spill a bag of d4 dice or actual caltrops on the floor, if your opponent steps on them all models they control suffer halved movement. This will also apply to yourself if you step on them.

*gw is not responsible for tetanus contracted at tournaments with this stratagem in play

I actually have (somewhere...) a set of pewter dice. The d20 has been referred to as my 'concussion die'.

There will be a time skip and the game will be renamed Warhammer 50k.

Every unit will have a second version whose sole purpose is to act as wound tokens for it. You get the joy of owning two of each unit you deploy.

Something tells me that there are a couple shallow graves located within walking distance of your gaming table.

d6? d4? Anyone can make and sell these!

In 11th each faction has their own branded shooting, wounding, and armour save dice. They're just d6s with symbols instead of numbers, the type and distribution of the symbols being different for each faction. You use your own dice for hitting and saves and your opponent's dice to see if you wound them.

You just earned a trip d6 feet under pal…

If your dice bag doesn’t double as a murder weapon, are you even a gamer? I’ve got a few metal dice, but also a large stone d6 about 2 inches a side. But the sheer volume of plastic, both high and low impact.

All Dice Rolling must be done with the Warhammer+ App and approved by the Warhammer+ AI.

Nids vs Necrons, you roll at the start of the game to see who realizes this is pointless first.

I don't have warhammer+, I still need to buy the dice pack so that I can register my dice in the app and start playing

Be careful, the dice that came in the starter box were moved to Legends and are unusable in Tournament Play.

387 - All factions will continue to use d6 it turns out, but each faction's dice will be weighted differently. Space Marine Dice for example are 33% likely to roll a 6 while Imperial Guard dice are 33% likely to roll 1s. Ork dice don't even have sixes while Custodes dice lack 1s.
388 - 11th edition will see the launch of the patented 11 sided die. Roll on it before the game to see which edition you will be playing.

Having seen the success of MTG and other core franchises bringing in other IPs, GW will open the doors to 40K to other brands!

Thus allowing GW to focus on adding new models to brand new armies formed of popular IPs - prepare yourself for The Justice League; Alien; Predator; Terminator; Bluey;

Any brand willing can step up and have tiny models made for the tabletop and prepare for all out war against the Space Marines!

I would immediately full-purchase a complete (and then some!) Transformers army for 40k.

395-The use of AI for sculpting and sprue layouts will make it possible to have larger kits than ever before beginning with the plastic Warhound Titan.
396-Unfortunately the use of AI in sculpting and sprue layouts means that the Warhound titan will have three legs.
397-GW will argue that since the plastic titan has 50% more legs than the resin it should cost 50% more than the resin version.
398-People will buy it anyway.
399-Due to an unfortunate typo when programming the AI sculptor, 40k is now an 82mm game.
400-However marines are now 23mm scale.

Sorry, no Transformers. However, GW's elite legal team has secured a multibillion pound deal to secure the rights to make models of the Transmorphers film franchise.

I could see a worlds beyond thing with Battletech. We have knights and small titans already. Would not be too hard to get some crossover giant stompy robots with some history.

Especially with the recent grim dark version of Battletech.

It's real, and felt like a waste of money. The 'Mechs looked cool, but are bigger than regular 'Mechs... and the new "abominations" are simply battlesuits with a new coat of paint. :(

You've done it. You can get rid of stats now. All you have to do is roll the correct dice for everything and the dice will decide if you did it right.

And now, all weapons will be represented with their own color-coded to-hit and to-wound dice. Got a tactical squad with a bolt pistol, 7 bolters, a plasma gun, and a missile launcher? Grab you Macragge Blue bolt pistol die, your 7 Calgar Blue bolter dice, your Hoeth Blue plasma gun die, and your Altdorf Blue missile launcher die and start rolling! Everything that rolls a 4 or more is a hit, then just switch to your to-wound dice for those weapons (with the Apothecary White pips instead of White Scar pips for the to-hit dice) and you're good to go.
