Update all the remaining 3rd edition codexes please (DE, Necrons, DH, WH, and BA) and then tyranids.

As far as I am concerned 5th ed was the update Dark Eldar needed. Necrons need it more.

The 'hunters need updates. Necrons a close third. Let the Deldar join the squats in oblivion where they belong.

My pics are Dark Eldar and Necrons.

Dark Eldar might be playable in 5th but a 10 year old codex leads to some unusable wargear, and many units that are terrible or overcosted.

Necrons have no customization at all. With one type of troop, phase out, and no reliable antitank they really suffer in 5th.

I completely forgot about Nids sadly, they need one too.

Cheers

Note: 6 votes for guard? Really?

Dark Eldar and Necrons ...

SOB need an update bad. IMHO they should get some variation.

Dark Eldar, they've been stuck in 3rd ED. for years.

DE need it bad. Nuff said.

Deamon hunter and witchhunters need to be combined, and be called "forces of the inqusition" (spelling). AND be able to still link with other armies.

Nids and necrons need it too. Nids possibly more...

Tau dont need it THAT bad.

SPACE WOLVES need one too.

I would be in a total agreement for Dark Eldar. No updates..?

My choices came down to Dark Eldar, Necrons and Demonhunters.

I dropped Dark Eldar because even though they have an old codex, they are still competitive.

Necrons were crippled by 5th edition, but I voted for Demonhunters.

Not only do demonhunters suck, but they have a ton of special rules and abilities that are now obsolete when they came out with the new chaos/demon codexes. Add to this that it would seem that the new IG and SM codexes were not meant to have allies.

SW need a update (and will get one). The DA/BA/BT could need a little tweaking. We also need more SM; both blood ravens and iron hands would be nice. By then the vanilla-sm-codex need another update.

And how about those squats ? They need some major work.

Daemonhunters have some pretty bad rules and need to get plastics as well. Besides, as Blackmoor pointed out, the SM and IG codici are clearly not designed to bring Daemonhunter allies.

Necrons and Tyranids need a rules update. The necrons could do with some new models as well, but it's not like the entire line needs a rework.

Witchhunters and Dark Eldar could really use some new models (especially the Dark Eldar). Both armies are fairly competitive though, so updating these armies would mainly be about the models.

Dark Eldar (x2).


The only army more in need of an update than Dark Eldar is the fraggin' Squats.

Really?...Really??
Ok,to be serious,of all the races in 40k, DE needs an update most of all,they have been stuck in limbo for 10 years+ now and it's WAY past time for GW to get off their collective backsides and show DE some love (or at least screw them up as much as they have all the other races).

Necrons have alot of trouble these days just because of fifth edition existing, Dark Eldar should get it by principal, and then the inquisitorial forces after that. 'Nids are alright, imho, they could use some tweaking and reworking but they don't need it that bad. Chaos Space Marines need to be redone, everyone needs to get their money back, and all copies should be BURNED. (I just read it, can you tell?) Except for abbadon, who they nailed.

I can support this statement for the most part,and would add that each blazing copy of that horrid excuse for a codex should be forciably jammed into Gavin Thorpes [ The following has been deleted by Inquisition].

DE and Necrons. Come on now... those two are gimmies, and I think we can all agree on that one...

There are two others I'd also put in my book....
Lost and the Damned is one of them. They were really cool to play against, and then they kinda got wiped clean, like the other one I was thinking about....

SQUATS.

Well,yes of course I'd love to see a return of Lost and the Damned,not sure it would qaulify as an "update" though,as GW foolishly dosn't even support this fantastic army.
As for Sqauts,meh,I've seen exactly one Sqaut army in my whole 40k gamming experinces,and that was 9 years ago (after they had been "sqauted"),but now I see people lamenting the loss of Sqauts as though they were the SMs of the 80's and early 90's,I do however feel it was pretty fethed of GW to yank an army people invested their time and money in,so sure...bring back Sqauts too.

That's fair, but at least make them a legal army again. There was so much that you could do with them! Renegade IG, Genestealer Hybrids, Cultists....
It was so good, and then it snuffed out.

WHAT IN THE NINE HELLS ARE YOU "PEOPLE" TALKING ABOUT?! Dark eldar have a PERFECTLY VIABLE codex!!! Necrons, however, have a horrible book and cannot compete competitively in a tournament setting. This poll has lowered my oppinion of Dakka users greatly. If you voted for dark eldar (and I have a dark eldar army, so I'm not talking out my @$$) you should stay home and re-think your life.

dark eldar, dark eldar.

I think that dark eldar, dark eldar.

I got home, began rethinking my life...still concluded the DE would do well to get upgraded.

Why do the Dark Eldar need an update?

Old codex and bad minis? That constitutes a "need"? I guess everyone who votes DE are painters because they are not players.

There are armies out there with a relatively newer codex and nice minis and are unplayable.

Playability seem like a greater measure of need rather than looking pretty.

I don't think that anyone's complaining about the Dark Eldar being a bad army because it's so old, it's just so old that by principal it needs an update. It has been about eleven years since they've made one. It needs a revitalization, something to intrigue new players. Models help, new codex's help, so it's logical to come to the conclusion that a new codex is in order.

DE are actually seeing a resurgance in interest and new players right now! DE models are back on the shelves and newer players are picking them up as if they were a new army here in the u.s.
Oh, and DE are very competitive.

Necrons, however, are so poor in gameplay that they could actually drive off players who are new to the game and make the mistake of buying them.

Which army needs a new book?

<-- I say Squats Oppps did that resets the clock for another year????

Hruud !!!

or ... failing that ... Ordo Xenos !

Aren't Tau operating under a 5th edition codex- haven't they been updated?(sorry, a relative noob just making sure)

Necrons, not only because I play them, I also checked DE and Tau.

They have not been updated. I believe so far it's just Space Marines, Imperial Guard & Orks, Possibly Chaos Daemons too. Someone please quote this and correct me for sure... Who's 5th Ed?
