You did it!
You've cracked the multiple firewalls and 1000 character randomized passwords to get into the mainframe of 23 interconnected cray super computers that calculate the next project for GW!
You have only seconds to quickly alter the new release calendar and insert your own project before GW's elite team of hackers finds you and fries your system.
What project do you put in?
What project?
It can be a codex, an army book, a side game...
What do you order up?
And go!

Change the release schedule as follows:
1. Grey Knights (They've announced them already)
2. Necrons (Not my army, but they need it most)
3. Dark Angels (My army, and they need it)
4. Chaos Space Marines (My friend stopped using them, I think because of the outdated codex)
5. Black Templars (Could use an update)
6. Tau Empire (My army, and they need it)
7. Witch Hunters (Needed another Imperial Codex to keep pattern)
8. Orks (I'm running out of Codices to Update)
9. Squats (Resurrection!!!)
10. Eldar (Competitive but showing their age.)

Suprised that you didn't notice it before now, as I have posted it conspicuously in other places. Well, I would also try and post a new 40k race due out next called the Na'vi.

I REALLY like that release schedule. The only thing I'd change is to put Eldar before Orks.
Otherwise the only thing I can think of would be to get them to redo the Tyranid FAQ.

As for me, glad you asked...
Coming November 2011 (just in time for Christmas)
EPIC ARMAGEDDON
A single box game (like Space Hulk) with an entire 5mm Ork and Imperial army on a crapton of sprues.
Orks have boyz, trukks, battlewagons, fightabombs, stompas and 2 gargants.
The Imperium gets IG troops, Lemans, Chimeras, Baslisks, a Warlord and 2 warhounds, a thunderhawk and a small marine unit.
Tons of cardboard terrain.
Once it's a hit GW could follow up with FIRST WAR OF ARMEGEDDON (marines vs chaos), DOOM OF IVANDEN (space elfs and nids) etc.

I can't believe no one has said this yet.
Lower the prices by about 50%, and put the codex schedule in super fast mode.

Re-read the OP. You have to insert a new project to be release. A price reduction is not a "project" in a release schedule.

Gotta go with: Epic Horus Heresy.
Or if I couldn't do that, I think I'd just get in there and try to update/reorganize their 40K FAQs and get rid of some of the conflicting rulings they have and reorganize the questions into sections that make sense (like they did with the latest rulebook FAQ).

Actually, I take back my vote.
My new vote would be:
Immediately re-hire Rick Priestly and force him to create 40K sixth edition from scratch even if it invalidates all current codices.
THAT would be exciting!

That would be something! Get GW to pull a PP! They updated both their main rule books and put out 11 Codexes in just under one year.
