We could easily go with four huge-ass fat codices if we merge them into these books:

Codex: Astartes
- Space Marines, Dark Angels, Blood Angels, Space Wolves, Grey Knights, Black Templars, Legion of the Damned
Codex: Imperium
- Imperial Guard, Imperial Knights, Sisters of Battle, Inquisition
Codex: Chaos
- Chaos Space Marines, Chaos Daemons, Lost and the Damned (we really should have that in there)
Codex: Xenos
- Eldar, Dark Eldar, Necrons, Tyranids, Orks, Tau, Hrud and any other xenos race anyone wants.

EDIT: The only problem is, do we want to spend €100 for that one race we might play in the codex? Cutting armies, I don't think this is viable. If they start cutting Necrons or Tyranids I'm out and so will a lot of people once their army gets the axe.

Just 4 hmm...

Chaos /w Deamons inc
Eldar /w Deldar inc
Nids
Orks

But overall I don't think putting armies down is a good thing. People still pine for long gone armies, and the only 'bloat' is in Marine factions really. Orks are nothing like Crons are nothing like Eldar are nothing like Tau are nothing like Nids - Maybe only Dark Eldar is the other 'bloat'.

What they could do is redo the Sisters models. I would play them but I cry every time I see one of those fugly models, I mean they look like Guard with more hair. Raging heroes do female models much better.

It's my codex and I'll cry If I want to.

Tactical objectives are fantastic

Ultramarines

Orks



The rest are fairly forgettable tbh.. Like, I love my DE but really the setting wouldn't lose too much with the loss of them, Tau, Eldar, Dark Angels, Wolves, BA, etc. I just think these 5 are pretty important to the theme of the world or maybe it's just because they're the major players

P.S.A. I won't read your posts if you break it into a million separate quotes and make an eyesore of it.
