Well the title says all really.

inb4 matt ward hate train or prices

Raise prices yet again while 7th ed increases the points level so that every game resembles apocalypse.

Take away everything from their site that brought people into the game and helped them decide what army, how to paint, and just get interested in minis in general.
oh wait...

Ya I would say another price increase but a big one.

Even if Matt Ward wrote all the knew fluff, people COULD just ignore it. You cant ignore paying more for minis

Call me naieve...

The worst thing GW could do (to themselves) is, in my opinion, cut out all the independent discount retailers they currently sell to (Wayland, WarStore, etc.).

The worst thing they could do for the gamers... well there's so many options here really, and most of them are already being done passively (codex creep, price hikes, rules that leave too much room for argument because they aren't concise enough) so I'm not entirely sure how to answer this question. Roll Templars into the vanillar Marines book (I really hope this doesn't happen)? Retcon an army (don't see this happening)? Take your pick.

We get that from the OP, but apart from some fluff abomination (like Emperor being half Squat half Eldar half Krootox) people may have a hard time coming up with something funny and worst thing at the same time.

Well they got rid of squats. That was stupid.

Nah not naieve, but I suggest we both abandon this subject before everyone starts up and get back on topic!

I would say another terrible idea for G.W would be for them to release a new faction. At this current junction in time we need updated codices, NOT new factions.

A big E model.

Keep price hiking, its getting seriously stupid now. Ive been able to justify spending so much on warhammer before but when boxes of men start going up 4-5 pounds with nothing new added and sometimes taken away (Im looking at you Tyranid battleforce) Also their irregular pricing. I mean its very unfair that the vampire counts battalion is a higher price than other battalions just because its Vampire counts. All battleforce/battalions if containing around the same amount should be the same price.

Also the worst thing is if they keep making models look stupid:



The piggyback flayed one.

+1 For that second point...

Did that Necron just lay an egg?

Make my army or models obsolete when the next edition/army book comes out. That would really annoy me.

And leave poor Matt Ward alone, its no different to long spam kelly or vendetta spam crudance. If you want good fluff, you have the black library. Take all the matt ward codexs together and they are all relatively balanced. Get him to write every codex and we would probably have a very balanced game, although the fluff might stink.

Introduce a race of furry cat people.

Prices aside for a moment. IMO making another race, especially another one for the Imperium would be awful.

Not had to use that meme in a while...

Anyways; GW has pretty much done all of the worst things they can possibly do, so much so I'm really not surprised by any of their antics anymore. It speaks volumes when a large chunk of the community is actually scared about any given codex release to see how exactly GW have taken their fave race and bent them over the table and used some sand for lube.

That can be argued against actually lol

I personally think a race of anthropomorphic ponies that was marketed towards little girls yet was loved by twenty-something men would be the stupidest thing that someone could do.

Oh wait....

And, yes, it has been done as a miniature line and is significantly NSFW.

Um Really? A miniature line?

and Matt ward just loves space marines way too much, well I mean Ultramarines. Because all space marines wish upon a star to be just as good as an ultramarine

Any of the three writing another OP book in their style.

Or, continuing to write books like the new chaos codex, worthless innovation and points changes.

entry game at 3000 points with the same slow game play and general table size rised to 5x5,
