40k being what it is, a lot of little things get broken as time goes on. Whether by poor patching or just ignoring the problems, a lot of these issues never get fixed. Here, I have listed a few patches that I'd like to see. (Buffs and nerfs.) What are some changes you would like? (Not all of these have to be completely balanced, just throw out small easy changes that you wish were possible. Fun things. Get rid of nuisances. Make worthless or broken rules useable.)

For Orks:
Old Zogwort gets BS1 (So he can use all his flippin' psychic powers.)
Ghazkull's WAAAGH! let's you replace one die with a '6' when rolling charge range. (To make his boosted WAAAGH! not worthless.)

For Space Wolves:
Acute Senses is replaced with +12" when checking night vision range. (So it acts like it used to.)
Rune Staffs get reduced range. (18" or 12".)
Wolf Tail Talismans give Admantium Will. (On most characters this changes nothing, but it makes it useable, if not that great, on Rune Priests. As it stands, it literally does nothinh for Rune Priests.)
Runic Weapons are 10 points cheaper. (They're identical to Relic Blades, but nearly twice the cost currently.)

For Necrons:
Tesla doesn't work with Snap Shots. (This is just dumb.)
Mindshackle Scarabs test on 2d6 instead of 3d6 when in a challenge. (Also dumb.)

MC can't join or be joined by other units that are not MC themselves. The only exception are models purchased as an option for that MC like hiveguard or drones.

MC and FMC get cover for being obscured like vehicles and not having a toe in the forest.

Characters can still strike if they forfeit challenges. If the character gets his challenge denied, he recieves +1 attack for the duration of the turn. Probably the enemie's squad also can't use the character's ld.

Precision strikes and shots wound vs target's toughness and not general toughness of a unit.

Walkers. Everything about Walkers.

This. Either they're too fragile at range or too powerful in close combat. They're too slow to be viable assault units, if they have nothing but guns they might as well be normal tanks, and their special rules are mostly pointless.

Nerf MC s10 attacks and price heavy gunz correctly - some weapons should cost more, why the hell are scatter lasers, missiles and serpent shields so cheap - and walkers are fine once again.

Eh, walkers have always been iffy, the only times I remember really seeing them back in 3rd/4th were:

1. "I had x points left over, but my HS and FA slots were full" (Space Marines)

2. "I can't take Predators"
(Daemonhunters)

3. Kan Spam

4. Iron Hands/Motf drop pod spam.

5. IG taking LC Sentinels because they didn't have Vendettas yet.

I have a few.
Transports can transport any number of viable units as long as they have he capacity.
Determining LoS for infiltrate required both the infiltrating unit and all other units to be out of sight of each other to infiltrate up to 12" (that way people can't rule lawyer that they can infiltrate up to 12" of a vehicle if it's guns are not facing that way).

Also: You don't lose the game automatically if all of your units are in reserve.
Units stuck in reserve don't count as destroyed (It's a stupid rule that adds nothing).
Either IKs are not scoring or vehicles can be scoring normally if they fill the requirements (troops choice, ect.).
