You mean would like GW to support again? Don't know...I played Epic last week, and have another game lined up for next week. Got a game of 40k 2nd edition on Monday. GW's support or lack of hasn't really made the slightest difference. If they started producing Epic minis again I still couldn't afford them! The rules for all these games are available, somewhere.

Jealous that Horus is Warmaster

If Warhammer Quest was brought back as a board game and re-released then they would make ludicrous money. I'm quite lucky that I'm enough of an old sod to have the game and the Warrior packs but would still love a re-launch. These young un's don't know what they're missing. Amazing game. The app leaves a lot to be desired.
EDIT: Apologies WQ isn't on your list but that would be my first choice.
2nd Place: Necromunda rules are also in bad need of an update. A lot of people I know use the Mordheim rules but never tried it myself. Love all the gang development and behind the scenes stuff, sadly
the games rules have not aged well unfortunately.
3rd Place: Epic, always wanted to get into Epic, even had me an army back in't day. Unfortunately no-one I knew played it so never really got the chance. Mini's all sold now and me a sad bunny.

Mordhheim for me has to come first before Necromunda though I have a feeling that if both were brought back it would be in reverse order.

Personally I would like BFG at the top of the list: the 2010 FAQ is great but I'd like to see new models perhaps more Demiurg or more ships for DE. Necromunda is second on that list
Bloodbowl would be there but the fact we have the PC version and BB2 coming out soon means it's being supported fine (Just not by GW)

I would say Battlefleet Gothic or Necromunda.
As long as you can get the models, there are rules on the web that are far superior to what GW has put out. The fan-updated rules for Epic Armageddon contain five times the army lists as the base game, and they have all been playtested by the community that put them together.

I would bring back the vast majority of SG's - they all stand alone on their own merits. The sad thing is, it's not like they would require much support or upkeep really; just an acknowledgement of their existence. I know they would never do it but it is really frustrating that GW just couldn't be a bit smarter with the situation. They could license some of the SG's out to subsidiary 3rd party games companies and help keep the games alive and growing that way whilst still retaining control over the IP and generating a potentially profitable line of business.

You forgot Space Hulk, they need to re-release the game (general release - not limited) and expand it (Deathwing/Genestealer/and more)

Seconded. I love AI, and by the time I was getting into it... it died. All I really want is some models though. I can handle the rest myself thank you.
My conspiracy theory is that GW's decision to put flyers into 40K meant that they no longer allowed FW to make aircraft as it would "compete" with 40K. Then, the death of Specialist Games applied to it as well.
Edit: Still play and enjoy Gorkamorka, Necromunda, BFG, and Inquisitor.

I loved the Dark Future, the models were great, I think it was 15mm. Cool cars...
Necromunda was great! So was Mordheim. The models of Necromunda were rather lacking, but if they did it now I think they would be 110% better. Still have my gangs.

Would have to say BFG and Space Hulk. Both excellent games! Plus I'd love to see new models for the Dark Eldar fleet. The current editions just look like a lumpy turd with some raider blades attached.

Bring-Them-Back-Now -Tier.
1. Warmaster. A really, really nice system, very streamlined and quite elegant. The 10mm minis where quite fine. Don't update orchange anything, just bring the minis BACK !
2. Man O War. It was very nice game, and unfortunately, the minis are so hard to find the game's basically dead.
3. Epic. Same things applies. Not to mention the very positive effects it would have on 40k : no more flyers, no more stupid SuperHeavies.
4. Necromunda. The rules would need a good clean-up, and new minis would be nice too.
5. Space Hulk. Of course.

Sword-Bearing Inquisitorial Crusader

I both disagree and agree.
Inquisitor gets a lot of undeserved flak, mostly from people who thought it was something other than what it was.
What it wasn't was the kind of competitive play-to-win game that most of GW's audience were used to. What it was was an uncompetitive gaming experience that, while very rough around some of the edges, provided some pretty darn unique opportunities. The number of games that permit players to build a character without the drudgery of levelling up or rote adherence to filling out one's allotted value of XP or GP with skills or equipment is relatively rare, but the games that allow someone to play the part of several characters (and their interactions) is even slimmer.
Inquisitor is very much a wargame for authors and comfortably the best at what it actually tries to do. Not to say it couldn't be better, but it's not a lacking game by any stretch of the imagination.
That said, I don't want the current design attitude of GW anywhere near it.

Can I throw in a vote for Inquisitor? It would be great to see some new rules/ models, and the presence of a GM mitigates GW's annoying habit of power creep.
