Hey Pacific that's unfair, if it's a terrain kit HBMC crumbles immediately!

I'll finish my Ork army.
Buy the new Ork Codex.
Buy a house.
Have babies.
Put Ork army in cold storage.

The only two unbelievable things in your post!

I predict the Tau, Eldar, Daemons, and either Sisters, Black Templar, or Codex: Marines.

I predict that GW will continue to lose its mature customers, and raise their prices above inflation to compensate for their declining sales. I predict GW will lose their impending Court Case with CHS and will earn themselves a big reality check of their own business arogance. I think they will focus more on newbie hobbyists who have Mum's with deep pockets.

I think 2013 will be good years for some of the smaller, newer companies who through their 2012 Kickstarter programs will take more and more of GW's mature customer base. I'm talking about Studio McVey's Sedition Wars, Sodapop's SDE and Relic Knights, Mantic's Dreadball, and even Spartan Games to some extent (if they ever decide to actually plug and advertise their own stuff!!). I know Mike Mc Vey has big expansion plans for Sedition Wars and judging by the level of support from their Kickstarter, it will happen.

I can see FoW and Warmachine mostly staying static.

A big mover for 2013 I can see being Fantasy Flight Games with their Dust Tactics and Warfare gaining an increasing fan and player base. I bought DUST Tactics a year ago and am totally hooked. Its by far the best most tactical fast thinking paced game on the market. The new releases are getting better and better

This remains not a prediction, but a status quo of my life for the past 20+ years

I expect next year will be the same, with hopefully a few more full done items.

Knight Models Batman game expanding hopefully they will continue to keep at it.

GW and the hobbit range failing more so than usual due to prices.

Warmahordes expanding some more but not a great deal
