Cutting all communication channels from the customers to GW. Oh wait...

A few try now and then, and are run off. One was chased away in the news and rumors forum a small while ago.

It's not like they have any reason to, seeing as all they will get is vitriol in return.

A corporate shill spouting lies and propaganda is not communication.

Considering there was a mix of store owners at the time saying he was right at the time, compared to a few who was saying he was wrong, "Lies" is a bit strong.

Not to mention it was a step up from "Complete non-existence from the community"

I like Mat Ward codices and wish all of them were written by him. Seriously. It would bring both balance and extreme diversity to the game. Just... get him a story editor. That's all that is required.

To be fair, the fluff in the Necrons codex is by no means bad (if you ignore all of the people crying about the retcon), in fact I found it to be quiet enjoyable, its only his SM fluff that is over the top. Then again, that might be a strategic choice, as all of the SM fluff is actually just propaganda pieces.

They probably make the SM fluff so OTT just to sell it to the young beginners. Hell thats why I got interested in 40k.

Because the Necrons having a room that allows them to blow up entire stars without a second thought is not over the top?

Announce that they are going to release their own anime and manga lines...

I would want to see a 40k anime ( if they do it right of course ).

Considering that before at full power in the old codex C'tan could devour stars like it was nothing? It was just swapped from "Eternal Star Eater" to "Technological Necron Prowess"

C'tan were pretty over the top, but they were also as close to gods as you could get in realspace. It fit(barely) because that's just the kind of creature that the C'tan were(the old Necron fluff sucks too, the new fluff just happens to be garbage as well). Newcrons take all the power but put it in a context that serves as nothing more than silly one-upsmanship.

Mat Ward making another codex.

Let me correct that for you.

People falling over Ward's writing powahs.

Also, note that he made the Main Rulebook for 6th ed and WHFB 8th ed.

Which is mediocore at best.

I retract the anime statement. Thinking about it, you are right they would be very good. However i think they would be better if they were done to a life like standard, such as the Final Fantasy series.

Making a sequel to the ultramarines movie...

Make Codices cost the same amount of money as a starter set (rules and models) from their biggest competition.

Talk to the customers?

Worst thing GW could do is listen to half the stuff that's written about them on the net.

Taking away JJ's monthly column in WD?

I really wish they WOULD do this. That column is such a waste of space. Space that could be used to do more detailed battle reports or for hobby related items.
