Templars need an assault transport.
Fixed that for you.

While I understand that Black Templars need something as they are traditionally a close combat loving army, don't they have access to Land Raiders and Storm Ravens?
Both being Assault Vehicles.

The Monolith's immunity to melta and ability to push units out of the way rather than mishap when deep striking.

SOB need anything, almost any additional unit would be welcomed.

Theres a reason people don't take Necron commanders seriously you know..

Tely portas.

Seriously man, we got nothing. It's a sad day when the loyalist codex fits your troops better than the codex released for you army. Just, the whole thing was terrible for the huge chunk of information it left out.

Cult terminators and marks for vehicles.

Orbital Strikes for inquisitors. It just makes sense.

Just make a special ability "Exterminatus".

See the apoc rules. Kind of fun to watch massive amounts of models being removed each turn.

You can't take them in sufficient numbers to get more than a few units into CC, and by then you're playing a list of "can he kill 4 Land Raiders before I reach him?", and even then most of the melee units are worse (!) than Banshees once they actually get to melee.

Oh great god, where to start...

For CSM

Ahriman is the leader of the Corvidae, a society of divinity pyskers, but he can't learn a single divination ability

Chapter tactics, like the SM codex has

drop pods

storm shields and thunder hammers

ironclad and venerable dreadnoughts

Stormravens or some sort of flyer transport.

Some more nammed HQs, come on, theres only four chapters right now, there should be more

More chapters! Night lords etc

More daemon engines

other variants of the land raider

Orks: Special rules that actually help your units ( 6th ed...)
SM: An artillery pice other than the thunderfire cannon.
It's nice and all but that is literally the only "Artillery" option.
A 24 inch range gun doesn't count even if it is strength 10.

Anything that would allow Necrons to deepstrike accurately (and no, the Vargard/Nemesor combo does not count).

@ AlmightyWalrus

That makes sense, so what the codex needs is a rhino variation that kinda drives in backwards and drops the loading ramp in the enemies face there by making it an assault version?
Kinda like a WW2 landing craft with tracks.

Well...CSM get drop pods if you have IA:A, too bad FW stopped making the model.

All the guns/equipment that are described in the SM codex as being 'of archaic design, common in the crusade but now a revered relic' but are not available to CSM.

Plastic models.

CSM

-Dreadclaw Drop Pods, must have these in next edition!
-EW on DP

I will be happy with that

Space Marines:
- A Dreadnoughtknight. Yeah, thats right, a dreadnought inside of a dreadnought. Because a spacemarine inside of a spacemarine isnt enough.

Nids:
- A codex that doesnt commit seppuku

It only does that if you don't pass the Instinctive Behaviour test!

Webway Portals.
Solitaires.
Exodites and both their dragons and exo-suits.
Exarchs that aren't sergeants.
Technology better than the Imperium.

Power Rulers
Wimples that grant 2++
"Problem, Astartes?" decals for the Exorcists and Immolators.

A power weapon for the ogryn bone 'ead

CSM have been covered in the posts above

Rending on all basic guns aint enough?

I could say quite a few things... But since the last codex wasn't a model release anyway, I guess I can say that the big holes weren't getting filled in anyway. Though pictures of Orders other than Martyred Lady (and the occasional Sacred Rose Sister) would have been nice. In fact, the codex actually says it has pictures of the "livaries of several different Orders Militant".

Heresy. Their sacred bobcuts should be the true source of their saves.

Lost Tau Vehicle Multi-trackers, Vehicle Target Locks, non sergeant Stealth suits being able to take drones, Battle suit Targeting Arrays, and Ejection System.

Tau vehicles can't fire as if they were a fast vehicle or split targets like PotMS, No more max guns drones with max stealth suits, no way to increase ballistic skill outside of Marker lights no way to negate Slay the Warlord for 1 more turn. I also feel that we should have gotten a build-a-stealth-suit-commander for the loss of the Shas'el.

Guns that go 12". There was a time when shuriken catapults were objectively better than bolters.

That is no longer the case. This thread asked me about thing that exists in the background that does not exist in the rules.

18" too.

Of course back in those days Eldar topped 2nd edition as well, so..Yeah.

But of course if its things in the background...

All the variants of bolters, bolter ammo, along with all the various technology the Imperium and Chaos has (Gimme Daemon guns! There's specialized ammo that becomes daemons after you shoot them!)

Shas'Els.

Orks:
Anything to get them across the board more reliably. Maybe a 6+ Feel No Pain.
Better Waaagh!
More Squig models
More than one Nob in a boy squad
