Magnus the Red finally realizes that Emperor told Horus to tell Russ to only shake him up a bit, not try to completely obliterate him. Magnus gets mad and turns Abaddon into a chicken out of anger, then leaves warp w/ his sons to do naughty things to remaining chaos primarchs and their legions.
Leman Russ shows up half drunk and says "man, what happened... i remember Horus sayin' you wanted to kill dad, and that I had to kill you because of it. Then I hear that HE wanted to kill dad, so I got reeeaaaally drunk, then decided to go find you in the warp... that place is confusing. Did they learn their traffic system from New Jersey Transit?!?!?!... anyway... Then I end up back here... dad is a zombie on a giant gold chair.. you come back after realizing what I figured out while drunk... and... what was I sayin' again?"
Magnus replies with a thorough facepalm, pats russ on the back, and says "Go tell the wolves to get ready to kill the Chaos gods... I got a plan"

The eldar then drop their heads in shame, wondering why they never thought of that. A smug ethereal talks too much smack to a farseer and gets turned into a gecko.

After months of no raids from the Dark Eldar, everyone gets concerned. The eldar give them a map of the webway to find Commoragh. It turns out that the great Khan found it.. and... well... er.... they dont have to worry about having their souls eaten anymore... *ahem*

The tyranids finally get whats coming to them. After all their "OH YEAH!! WELL WE CAN..." business the orks actually had a good idea for once.

Because that wouldn't be GRIMDARK enough

I lean toward this Idea manly cause I want to fight different Races, and Gamesworkshop seeks to gain more money with new Factions on the selves

They could you know, update Dark Eldar. Sales would go through the roof like what happened with the Tyranid release.

A rift in the warp opens. An ancient eldar craft appears. Autarch Fraz’ld exits the ancient vehicle, an eldar warmaster caught in the clutches of time prior to the birth of Slaanesh.

Autarch Fraz’ld casts his eye upon what has become of his kinsmen since the fall, and makes the epic speech entitled “Suck it up you bunch of emo pukes! Lets Nut Up, make some babies and kick some ass.” With the ancient cry of ‘Nietlet Sereya Monkeigh’ (Get off my Lawn!) eldar flock to his banner.

The rebirth of the Eldar has begun.

The most obvious, the Dragon's awakening on Mars which causes the Machine Cult to split from the Imperium (and thereby causing another civil war).

And the birth of a new Chaos God who humps Slaanesh in the ass till he dies, gives Nurgle AIDS via blood transfusion, kicks the crap out of Khorne, beats Tzeentch at chess and then decides the galaxy has lived for far too long...BAAANG!!! Good night!!!

However, the next day it's proven to have been only the newest tactic from tactical gen-CREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED!!!!

Now i'd love to see that plot twist

It's sad in this universe because so much of the fluff everyone thinks of is ' <insert name> turned to Chaos.'

I think they should expand on the Tau Empire, considering in the end they are the only 'Good Guys.'

The biggest thing I miss from GW after I took my four year break was the lack of campaign books. Those things were awesome, give extra army variants and a way to expand the story without 'THIS ARMY IS UNSTOPPABLE HAHAHAHA' only to be trumped by the next UNSTOPPABLE army in six months with a new release.

Do YOU know any examples in history of REAL good guys?

Gandhi?

Or you mean like 40k history? Then, hhmmmm...nope. Not a single one

I don't mean one person, I mean one side. Like a government, or an army... or any warhammer equivalent. All I'm saying is there are good people, but no good "side"

Really? just thinking of two off hand
Allies WWII
Allies North Korea/China vs. South Korea

Allies WWII ? C'mon, you gotta be kidding me...Those weren't good guys, were just better than the alternative

I don't think you can call ANY side ever involved in a war of any sort good.
The truly good side i can actually think of right now is the Red Cross, and even they have their flaws

Your lack of knowledge in this area or failure to be able to judge differences is..staggering.

FYI, concerning government and military agendas one can never really say you have all the knowledge.

Oh, believe me, i know the difference between the Allies and the Axis.
All i'm saying is, you can't call people that shoot other people in a war "good", even if they do it for the right reasons or following orders.

Well, as per the OP, it can't be anything too universe-shattering. That kind of limits things to character deaths, civil wars or new/old races awakening, oh and the odd Chaos incursion.

I'd personally like to see something happen on Cadia involving Necrons. There have been hints for a few years now that the unknown pylons that keep the Eye of Terror contained are Necron in origin. I'd like to see the Necrons responsible awaken. Perhaps Cadia has secret underground Necrontyr burial chambers or perhaps the pylons are in fact the spine of Cadia, which is in reality a C'tan in the form of a planet.

I guess I just want Cadia and the Imperium to be even more beleaguered than it currently is. Oh, and Unicron C'Tan apparently.

Sure you can and I just did.

But perhaps we should drop this line and move on as its OT.

Yep.You've read my mind

Obviously GW is not going to kill the Emperor, have chaos triumph and outlaw marine armies, but there's still stuff they can do.

So here's my 3 ideas:
Abbadon Deposed-For the legions of chaos, 13 failures is 13 too many! Abbadon is deposed as Warmaster and he with his few loyal followers is now hunted by chaos. The new Warmaster is your generic spikey chap in black armor but he has this advisor with two pistols and a sword he never uses, the man's a complete a Cypher. GW gives the new dude stats but gives him some weakness and a tendency to get bad advice. Give Abbadon new stats for his new status but let him take an all-vet army since all he has left is his personal bodyguard units.

The True Imperium-The Celestial Lions return, denounce the Imperium as corrupt and strayed from the Emperor's Path and they are now the true Imperium. Marines, squads, even whole companies have defected to them demanding the High Lords step down and face trial. Throw in a rebel Marine commander as a special character and give them the ability to seize the initiative against any loyalist marine chapter on a 4+ (since marines hesitate to fire on them) and you've got something.

Eldrad Forever!-Finally get around to confirming Eldrad died during the 13th Black Crusade, but he died on the doorstep of the webway and when his soul stone shattered it spread throughout the webway, his essence is now part of the Eldar race.

Like the idea of Abbadon being overthrown in some kind of coup. Maybe Ahriman, Typhus, Black Heart, or Alpharius/Omegon stage a coup that causes Abbadon and the Black Legion to go in to hiding.

Or

The Imperium turn on the remaining loyal SM claiming the Imperium of man should be ruled by the pure and not the genetic heretics that are SM.

Farsight reveals the truth, or what he perceives as the truth, about the Tau to the Eldar.

Story development should go along with rules development. So if Abaddon is deposed then the CSM dex should go back to building cult armies.

Does anybody have ideas along these lines for other factions.

Oh, and I think we can rule out Imperial civil war along with Empra/Primarchs returning to active duty.

Create a new joint Imperial Guard/Space Marine Chapter that throws out the rules.

1000 men only? Sure, maybe in First Company. Companies 2 through 15 make that a lot bigger.

Have someone MAKE SOMETHING NEW. Seriously. You mean to tell me in umpteen thousands of years NO ONE can make a better lasgun? A better bolter? Vehicles that could actually go over hills and ditches? The Mechanicus don't seem to actually DO anything, just sit around and HOPE someone MIGHT find plans to something old.

Just make it your damn self!
