I would like to hear some ideas of the dream projects people would like to take on if money and time were no objects?

One of everything!

Is this just for wargaming?

Well, I would commison more than a few tables from Terraformer

I'd also go on a few of the forgeworld/independent tutorial days and learn how to paint/etc like a pro.

Then I'd probably work my way through the FW vehicle catalogue.

I would love to do the entire Ultramarines Chapters smurfs ftw

A Vostroyan mech regiment.

Commission a sculpter to make range of miniatures for a ruleset I have in development.

Make a large (5,000- 10,000 point) mantic unded horde.

A full-sized, functioning dreadnaught.

A full Titan Legion, and I mean a full Legion!

10,000 pts. of Imperial Guard including superheavies and Titans and the ENTIRE Dark Angels chapter. (and I'm almost half way to 10k IG. no superheavies or Titans yet

Two Orky-fied Mantas, Phantom Titans, Reaver Titans and Chaos Reaver Titans.

If money were no object, I'd buy a Ferrari to transport my models to and from games.

I would commission Mad Ward to remake the Grey Knight codex just for me.

His only restriction? He has to think before he types.

A Praetorian IG army!

Money no object project...

A full Elysian Drop Regiment with attached Sentinel Company and Navy Tactical Air Wing.

I have 13 Sentinels if you want

Models that mark their own line of sight with built in lasers and use RFID table markers to automatically measure for themselves.

Buy the land across the road from GW HQ and build a fifty foot high billboard that constantly displayed the gripes, moans and complaints of GW consumers in three foot letters twenty four hours a day and broadcast the themetune to This Morning from a huge set of speakers just to get their attention.

They would send their apologists to hurl themselves at the billboard, those foamy mouthed believers would build a barrier with their own bodies to block the offending image from the sight of Tom 'Thusa Doom' Kirby.

They need to be Drop Sentinels.

I have a theme here, Silver.

Hmm...I'd go found the company Workshop Games and start competing with GW with my own line of models.

Warmasters 1,000,000 AD

See? I have 960,000 more numbers in there than 40k does.

Why?

Buy a controlling share of the company, fire Tom Kirby and hire someone competent to run GW.

I can't guarantee GW would last long, but at least then you can say "I'm the reason GW went under"

Pft, get them into the shop and drop the suspension, black out the windows... put some spinners on there...

proabbly buy in at my flgs I like the guy and the place so wouldn't want to compete with him and then get some more tables going/ build and paint some shop armies for people to play demo games with

Genius!

A company of each Imperial Guard regiment. Also, a full-on army using Forgeworld Marines. Don't know if I'd go totally pre-heresy, but I'd love to do something with those minis.

Why, I'd buy GW of course.

If money truly were no object, I would destroy capitalism.

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

Thanks for reminding me.

I'd also do the entire Raven Guard Chapter.

Truescaled. Yeah. That's right.

Recreate the 3rd war for armageddon wtih all minis to a golden deamon standard. ( full recreation of Roks, titans all legions etc.)

Invest $1mill and live off the interest, and then:

Start up an Australian distributor for Maelstrom/Wayland/Dark Sphere.

Not to mention, a bricks and mortar FLGS with some beautiful customisable tables from a producer in SA who was at AUSCON... forgot their name, but Im sure peeps will know.

Woh easy there AF the idea of a lottery win is to enjoy it, not make more work for yourself.

Having said that opening a proper games shop does have real attraction (no warehousing or internet sales for me!).

Mostly I would just enjoy the freedom it would allow me to do what I want i.e. not have to work and spend some real time on projects and improving my skills.

The actual ability to buy what I want I am fortunate to already mostly have, the space to put it in not so much! So the notprop games emporium would come in doubly handy!
