I have this idea for this little game we can play on dakka. We act like its year 2100 and discuss 40k. I'll start:

"I heard that GW is going to fix wound allocation next edition".

I'm confused.

Its the year 2012. I heard that GW is going to fix wound allocation next edition.

I certainly hope it doesn't take them 100 years to sort that out.

"Hey man, did you hear about Games Workshop?"
"What?"
"I dunno, I found it on a piece of paper from before the rabbits took over,"

" I hate this model. I wish we could have good looking models like the Stormraven again.'

"Didnt they say the emperor was gonna be reborn 7 editions ago?"

"Remember in thr 5th edition codex when flayed ones where good?
"Hey, Did you hear? GW is going to start beaming codexes into your mind"

Hey man I just bought this land raider for $12,000

The Tau will have been eaten by a hive fleet and people will call a race being retconned as Taued instead of squatted.
Also only billionaires will be able to afford to play

"Hey I just found this codex thing"
"Throw it away, it offends Glorious Eternal President Chairman Mao"

"Hey remember Warhammer 40k? That game by those idiots who priced themselves out of the market 50 years ago?"

"Yeah, it was cool. Shame about the management though."

People will be employed full time to be genetically modified and used as space marines by billionaires in helicopters, with a team of staff rolling dice and radioing down the results for the feeble meat-puppets to enact for the amusement of their airbourne overlords.

And it'll still be cheaper than plastic minis might be if price hikes continue.
