Money no problem? I would move back to the big city I'm from and open a store dedicated to roleplaying, board, and tabletop games with ample tables for playing. Host events, provide good stuff all around, and much more.
Then I could buy my armies at the GW 40% discount and do even more! At that point I wouldn't paint much myself, just commission stuff. So lazy.

I'm with Delephont on this DUNE would make a great table top game, though I think the empire's would need to be expanded a bit for verity but other then that would be great.

The problem with the 'vote with your dollar' response is that it doesn't take into account why we're not buying the product. I want to enjoy 40k enough to buy back in. It was my introduction to traditional games, and there was a time when I enjoyed it very much. I want to buy 40k, but Gamesworkshop is doing their very best to push me away, and simply not buying their product won't tell them that. |

1. Dark Angels Chapter. Deathwing, Ravenwing, all of it.
2. Eldar Army - and get ready for the big one.
3. Diorama of an Eldar Craftworld staging hangar with all the Forgeworld super heavy fixins. Couple of all the super heavies - titans, grav tanks - the whole works. Me making the hangar diorama would be the dream.

I would go find myself some blacksmiths to make some Space Marine armour, then I would go hit up an army base for an APC to convert to a Rhino and I would go park it outside GW head office.
Lacking that, build a Stormraven and fly that toaster down the CEO's throat. Wouldn't be that hard I guess.

Well, I've always wanted a Manta. If I win lotto, I want a fleet of them. Probably 8 or so.
I'd start up a gaming club in the centre of the city with all the crazy terrain projects i've dreamed up over the years bt never had the money/time/space to build.
Then i'd buy a controlling share in GW and do something worthwhile with them

Buy as much terrain as I could get my hands on with multiple different themed boards to play on.
And a Biotitan.

We've had a few threads like this before, and my answer is always the same:
I'd do a Death Korps of Krieg army with a bunch of infantry, Death Riders, and towed artillery. For sure.

Well I'll start wtih the reasonable ones:
Spartican X
A servityor revolution army, made up of servitor, pit slave and other GW cyborg models, counts as Orks.
Arbites
2000 points of Necromunda Enforcers (counts as IG carapace vets) with wheeled chimeras, hell hounds etc. A platoon of Mordians as the local cops and a an armored precinct house.
Tallarn
Expand my vet Tallarn force with several 100 infantry.
The irrational
Buy or commission a company to make plastic sprues for me. All multipart, multioption, all at GW's level of quality.
21st century 1st world infantry
21st century 3rd world insurgents/terrorists/guerillas/bandits
Riot cops
Starship troopers style power armor
Grimdark cultists
Mutants
Modern doors, windows, fuse boxes, mail boxes, lights, signs and other building 'dressings' that can be attached to foam core or plasticard walls.

I'd buy a bunch of FoW, Warmachine, Infinity, Malifaux, Helldorado, hell, maybe even MTG. Then I'd hire some awesome painter to paint it all for me.
I'd also buy all the books I don't own for Dark Heresy/Rogue Trader/Deathwatch plus a few boardgames I've been eyeing.
If I got anything GW it would probably be for my BFG fleet. Maybe a Necromunda gang, though I don't know anyone who plays. And I'd get a new computer to play Bloodbowl Legendary Edition so I wouldn't need any BB miniatures.
EDIT:
Oh I forgot that I would expand my forces for Battletech and Heavy Gear. I might even get into Firestorm Armada, but I really prefer the rules for BFG. Though that naval ship to ship combat game looks neat ... forgot what it's called.

I would buy the Star Trek IP from Paramount and launch a new, updated/reinvisioned series. I would require that each and every story still work if the setting were replaced with a 1950's destroyer and the planets/cultures were various countries and islands. That's what I would do.
Oh, yea, I would fire anyone who did anything at all related to time travel or "realigning deflector dishes". Then I would hire mafia goons to go to their houses and kick their dogs. Twice.

Seems what I had in mind has been taken, ie buy out GW so I can get them decent once again.
Failing that though, buying everything to complete my current armies and any I want, Nids, Necrons, Lizardmen, Tomb Kings. Hand paint them all(yes I must be crazy) and buy a new house with dedicated room for my Hobby stuff and display them all in glass storage cases.
Then go pay Bethesda to make Skyrim as awesome as friggen possible  Then get them to make any ideas I get into games, leaving them with barebones to expand on.

I like Redbeards idea of a million orks in an unending battle, but................
I would get one of the cheesy razor/long fang spam armies out their and pay Joan Rivers to play by ear piece as I would be able to tell her "roll this many dice" and have her win a tournament. I think it would be good for the hobby.
