Instead of complaining about what they've done, what do we want GW to do? I don't want sarcasm, unless necessary. I know I want Titans for all races, not just orks and IG.

Super-heavies, you mean? Super-heavies require a big investment on GW's part. Making a super-heavy for a race that is not popular enough to be worth it would be a huge loss for GW. If super-heavies sell well they may eventually spread out to less and less popular armies.

I'd like GW to redo codex CSM, and do it right. And for them to DEFINITELY NOT release a "legions" codex with less than all the legions.

I want them to hurry up and re-release Dark Eldar. NOW!

On a more realistic note, I want more customisibility in the codices. As a friend of mine adequetely described, the new codices are noob-ifying 40K. Thek are making it simple and easy to understand, to attract young gamers, when the majority of their customers seek depth. I want interesting!

From GW I want:

Updated High Elves and Wood Elves books with some new miniatures especially some of the high elf plastics - silver helms in particular (and for them to be useful again, for 8pts more i can have a dragon prince so really why would I ever want silver helms)

I want less "Special Character" centric armies again, I like making my own characters.

I want Beasts of Chaos and goddamn it I want em now!

I want 40k to be a fun game again as all the army lists now just appear to be too samey and or you only see certain variations of the army and to have mech armies as not the be all and end all of the game.

I want models for Vilitch and Valkia to come out so I can do the Warriors of Chaos army lists i've worked out (Vilitch Chosen Magicy Death and the Riders of Valkia)

I want the old system for magic back in Fantasy, (muhahaha I have total power cards coming out my backside )

I want all armies to retain there balance with each other to make the game a level playing field without them losing all of there character - as typified by the current crop of 40k codices.

i want a nice big big big big big vampire set. and i want it now!!!!!!!!
and a bitz section again(even though it was gone by the time i was here

More plastic regiments for the Imperial Guard. And more metal Imperial Guard company commanders as with the fantasy Empire range.

a plastic thunderhawk would be cool, really cool.

Oh and plastic Plague Bearers, Noise Marines, Thousand Son's and re done Bezerkers

4 Colours Codex would be nice.
I hate having to play Apocalypse matches to have my Sorceror Terminators and Heavy Support Sorcerors :(.
Also while on topic, a 6th edition without the game ruining "Cover Save"

More of this, and less of this.

Dark Eldar. The one thing I want I can't get, lol...

A new Tau codex that doesn't suck, that had effort put into it.

More armies, update the things that need them (crons, DE, etc) and bring their damn prices down!

I want instruction booklets in battle forces / battalions -_-
or on their website is fine too

What, they don't do that anymore? My Tau battleforce came with one.

The Nid one came with assembly instructions.

If we're wishlisting for Santa, I'd like Warhammer Armies: Dogs of War, please.

£25 for 10 plastic swordsmen... Yeah gonna second that, especially with how a lot of their fantasy range is starting to look. So bland and uninteresting and plain. So getting their standards up there would be nice.

Price reductions, they have got too greedy, this isn't a bitch, it's the simple truth. Price something out of peoples price range your market goes down.

Bits ordering back, properly. Able to order x part of y kit or sprue a, b or c.

To stop the money grabbing a moment and take that little more care with army books, too many armies are just messed up now, and at the start of a new edition where stuff gets made pointless/obsolete do a BA codex again and actually do a quick list to make them playable again. Would make for a lot less problems from old wordings etc.

What Do We Want From GW?

To quote the great Aretha Franklin, "R-E-S-P-E-C-T". Seriously, like any company, if they continue to produce a desirable product at a reasonable price and handle customer problems and complaints responsively and with respect then they should please most of their customers. As some have pointed out, there have been times when they broke one or more of these ideals and in those cases have suffered for it. It's a balancing act all companies must perform.

Unfortunately, with all the cost cutting and personnel changes this past year, I have experienced some instances where me and some other customers I know felt we were treated less than respectfully. Such incidents are a huge mistake because they create animosity in the community and can have long-term negative effects. Even after someone more helpful has corrected the problem, sometimes bad feelings remain and impact growth. It's best to handle things correctly on the first contact by a customer rather than force people to get annoyed and complain before a problem is finally resolved.

A change in attitude regarding FAQs and tight rules, and tournament play would be nice.

After that, a faster and better playtested release cycle with less space marine bloat would be good.

As a rules collector I would like a CD-ROM set that covers all the past white dwarfs and citadel journals (and similar publications) so that I could fill all the holes in my collection and be able to store archive stuff so easilly.
Reasonableness would need to dictate that the set didnt come too far forward towards present-day so as not to undervalue stuff on the shelves, lets say up to the start of 2009.

Wont see it, but it would be so great to have. Think of it GW, all the veterans who dont buy models anymore might gain rules for certain troop-types for their previous rules-edition and then decide to start buying models and paints again!!

Id also like to see a pretty big price-cut in current stuff but thats possibly even less likely

Bob

Idiot-proof Purity Seal.

Price freeze, and the Empire stuff to be reduced to a reasonable price.

Oh, and Adeptus Mechanicus.

You mean like how PP does?

A properly done CSM/Legions codex.
A return of Lost and Damned.
More plastic kits,Daemon prince,Deffdreads & Killa Kanz.

Redo of codices in shorter cycles.
Not changing the rules significantly in each incarnation of the game (edition).
A rulebook for competitive play (tournaments).

First and foremost, I'd like them to settle on an approach to codexes and stick to it. It seems to me that ever since the Eldar codex they've been playing around with what they want. They started off with relatively few special rules and limited customisation, but now we've got the Space Woof codex, with loads of special rules and long lists of equipment options. Even little things, like the details of Marine units, seem to have been tweaked each time (vanilla Marine Drop Pods carry 12 men, even though there are clearly only enough positions inside for 10, and Space Woof Drop Pods carry 10 - what's with that?). I agree that the emphasis on special characters isn't great, but I can live with that if they'd just decide what they're doing with everything else.

In terms of models, I'd like to see plastic Killer Kanz and a plastic Warboss kit. I could care less about the Dark Eldar - I'd rather their resources went into updating the Tau, Eldar and Necrons properly.

Then if they could just invent a self-painting plastic kit, I'd be happy, as it's the only way I'll ever finish the pile of plastic stuff I've accumulated...

I'd like to see them employee a dedicated codex rule creation team, whose sole remit is to make sure that each codex is:

* Balanced both internally and with the other codices

* Customisable & flexible, with no obvious must-have units or rubbish units

* Customisable in terms of characters, so that you don't always have to use GW's favourite characters

* Heavily playtested, both at GW and by playtest groups outside the company (including some high-end tournament players)

I'd want all the revised codices released within a few monnths of each other. Should be easy enough to do, given the whole "dedicated rules team" thing -- they have plenty of adequate fluff writers to fill in the gaps.

I want Chaos to go back to single armies in both 40K and Fantasy. The previous system in Fantasy where core and special unit choices depended on who was the general worked fine.

And I want more plastic general sets for each army. Nice idea, why not expand on it?!

erm

release the oop paints again.

a new WHFB army that actually interests me enought to collect it!

tau that have the reasonable bs increase to bs 5.

titans.

apocalypse tournements.

reasonable prices.

8th edition WHFB

old 40k armies to be updated

new 40k army

tournaments where noone can have the same army list.

a proper spray gun / airbrush.

While we're dreaming...I'd like them to have all the codecii finished and ready to got BEFORE they release a new rules edition that bakes half of the armies.

Since that's not going to happen; I would like to see them at least act like a real company to the extent that their customers know the release schedule at least on a year to year basis. Instead we get the whole rumor thing for 6 months before they surprise everyone with another space marine codex.

My bad, they do come with instructions inside the lid.
I didnt see it since i have habit of putting the lid back after taking the sprues out ><
