I would build a secret underground lair to live out the 2012 zombie apocalypse.

Then with what's left maybe I'd just buy GW or something.

As it pertains to gaming....I'd scrounge all the fluff to find out exactly what they consist of and make ALL the major space marine chapters both loyal & traitor, hire some pro painters to paint them all, then replay battles out of books I read 'cause I have no imagination.

My other project would be buying really expensive stuff and destroying it in front of poor people

I would buy the rights to make a DUNE tabletop wargame.

I'd hire Corvus Belli to manage the rules and miniatures.

I'd hire Angel Giraldez as my Studio painter, full time.

I'd open up DUNE Wargaming stores in major cities around the world.

I would not become a PLC

When done....I'd start again with the Mass Effect License.

I would build a WHFB / 40K theme park, with facilities for tournaments and some crazy custom rides and attractions.

I'd buy controlling shares in GW, run the company to the ground with weird releases in the theme of Ultramarines. All while eating my gold encrusted popcorn and reading the forums...

Apart from that. I'd love to do a full company of space marines with each squad commisioned to one golden demon winner.

Aside from continuing to be awesome, I'd probably be forced to start building and kitbashing awesome modular tables and commissioning out my work for paint, since that tends to be the slow part of my builds.

As Charlie Sheen once said...

"Winning"

This

What I need to accomplish my modeling and painting goals cannot be bought: TIME!

I'd hire Doctor Who to find me the time to get stuff done.

Damn beat me to it.

I dunno, buying GW isn't hobby, it's making a business decision.

I actually thought about this last night when I saw that the jackpot hit $200 million. One absolutely ridiculous thought I had was to find as many paint studios as possible and commission 1000 orks from each, with the goal of fielding a million boyz in some sort of insane never-ending battle that I'd stage in my new gaming center....

Entire Salamanders Chapter, Entire Pre-Heresy Salamanders Legion, Entire Bad Moonz Klan. Each of which would be lead by quite a few custom commissions

Nice suggestions everybody... I'd love to commision a few dioramas and sit back and build an army for every chapter, race, different army list for whfb and wh40K and make myself a gaming centre bigger and better than warhammer world, but that'd be easy enough.

I'd buy the Ultramarines Legion. Legion... not chapter. Transports and all.

And 666,000pts of 3rd Ed Daemonettes.

id buy the rights to friday the 13th and get all of blue painting to make me a collusus plastic model of jason which i can sit inside and control
but on a serous note id probaly like to have 10 full companys of blood angels and about 20 dc dreads and 50 furisos and 100 drop pods just because i can

...

I would play that. Give them the rules from "The Green Tide" and we're golden.

Blood angel list of 11 dreads all with drop pods led by mephiston. Don't forget the crap ton of death company that you need to make it work.

Every mini i could lay my grubby little hands on would be mine.

Old RT era stuff mainly, for pure nostalgia.

Then I may consider building complete 1:72 scale armies for World War 2 scenarios along with accurately scaled terrain or you know El Alamein, Kursk, Stalingrad, Normandy, The Pacific Islands.

And I may go Gw, a bit, and do the same for the battle for terra, but probably in epic scale coz I prefer that!

If money were no object and not tied to just lottery wins. I would give some to all my favourite indy mini makers and game designers and see what giddy heights they could reach, I have a dream people!

It exists - it is called Warhammer World, they have everything you list, except rides.

But they have a big GW shop there so you can get taken for a ride, but that's not quite the same thing.

I'd build a 2000 points SoB army.

My own plane, tank, various ships, a nice little workshop, and a library the size of, well, a library.

Well probably not much finecast as I suspect it might melt in the Cypriot sunshine......A large Tallarn force maybe

I would pay GW to make me an army. Something like Squats, with only people I don't think are overly complainy on the Interwebs allowed to buy them.

Besides buying a shotgun and a license to kill and blasting Tom Kirby in his smug ass face?

Full sized Waaagh!

This means millions of Orks, thousands of ships, etc, etc.

yeah, i was going to say one of each but i like to have two so maybe a full 10,000 pt army of all fantasy and 40k as well as like six or seven different inq warbands and mordhiem and a table for all types of .........

( gets dragged of from wife shocked and suprised by the number of things he plans to buy)

I'll need a new house to fit everything I buy.

Also, commission engineers and scientists to fit my minis with mini-motors, regenerating thingymabobs and fluffy AIs, so they paint and play by themselves, and if they get damaged, no repair work needed.

Realistically I’d probably commission a large batch of models from a painting studio (painted to ‘Eavy Metal/Golden Daemon standards).

Although for the sole purposes of discussion, I’d like to buy the controlling share in GW. Firstly I’d fire Tom Kirby (as well as any other excess baggage) and restructure GW from the ground up. Secondly I’d fire Matt Ward, Jervis Johnson and hire Andy Chambers (by any means necessary) as the new 40k lead. Thirdly I’d release a new 40k expansion which would retcon all of the Matt Ward fluff (including killing off Drago) and distil the resulting tears of Matt Ward fan boys into some kind of tasty beverage.

If the above turns out too hard, I’d probably sabotage the company from within and arrange for FFG or PP to buy the 40k IP.

A facility like Warhammer world would be included in my theme park.

Buy a MASSIVE army of all: Eldar, Dark Eldar, Tau, Tomb Kings and Skaven for myself then buy all my gaming frinds £10k of GW vouchers so I'd have some competition.

But a huge house and convert the basement into a painting stuio and have a couple of massive gaming tables and a bar.

Have a full scale set of thousend sons power armour and helm made for me to wear whenever playing.

If I simply had enough money to do whatever I wanted within the existing system, I'd buy GW.

i think destroying capitalism would pretty much get rid of our hobby all together. not a fan of that one.
