1). Plastic Sisters and a codex that wasn't a slap in the face or a kick in the teeth. At this point, sadly, I'd settle for just the plastic Sisters, and given that the TGG2 kickstarter is going up tomorrow for Sisters of Eternal Mercy, GW had better step it up.

2). More AdMech than the two walkers and two troops I've seen leaked. If I can field a whole army of cyborgs without having to touch the Allies Matrix I might drool myself dehydrated.

3). Lower prices. Seriously, if I could get more per individual dollar, I'd spend more dollars. Weird, right?

Alpha Legion: No one knows jack-diddly about them. Even fewer know about Omegon.
Alpha Legion: Using the entire Dark Vengeance starter set. If it's got a geneseed and power armour, it's fair game.

Yeah. When there is a super sale (30%+ off), I will go nuts and buy stuff that I don't need and will never get around to painting. The problem with this, though, is twofold: I only go nuts if the price is lower than usual (so if the usual price goes down, I want the fire sale of fire sales), and secondly, there ARE diminishing returns.

But lower prices, even 10% from the current MSRP, and a halt on price creep for new units would go a long way for more people to starting up 40k.

Man there's so much that would get me spending more.

-Better cost all around would be a good start.
-More terrain options, that don't make me decide between models and terrain.

They got a couple sales from me with the new Necron codex, as I expected.

Other than that, they could give me a reason to do a small Emperor's Chidlren army if they came out with plastic Noise Marine boxes, similar to Berserker boxes. A Slaneesh CSM/Dameon codex like the Khornite one would be cool, as I have a bunch of Daemonette/Seeker models I'll never use otherwise.

But with their prices, even after discount I need a very good reason to buy anything from them anymore, and conversions are always what I think of first.

I bought so many BT Crusader sprues way back when... Then, I never got around to building them. Tho, once my IG are out of the way... yeah.

IG were 20 per box? Not that I recall. Mine were always 10 Tallarns per box.

Ya.. I when I first started I was gonna do IG but all they had was 10 man boxes all metal... You could get a space marine army with the same number of minis for half the price worth three times the points. Kind of a no brainer for a broke 13 year old... And they say a lot of ageist smack about space marines appealing to little boys and that's why they are so common... Not me, I was just good at math... Lol

But yeah, eventually catachan and cadians came in plastic boxes of twenty...

Sorry getting off topic... Plastic sword brethren would definitely get my money today... Instead I'm gonna BT upgrade kit onto sternguard.

No way that foam looks like it sucks.

At least pluck foam keeps them from moving in any direction.


The problem with pluck foam is that once you pluck it, you're stuck with that size. Which is ok with mostly infantry armies, but vehicles.... that's just a whole other thing. I want a cases that can transport all manner of GW vehicles, whether it's voidravens, rhinos, or baneblades. Also, I'll largely be removing them from a display case to take somewhere.
I feel that a 100 dollar Crusade Case would make me buy loads of them. It is cheap to make them, so hand them out cheaper. If it really was 100 dollars, it would make the majority of people drop their cases and buy it.

It's right in the name, and in many ways it's better than the Imperial Knight.

Therefore, I conclude, Valve should announce Half Life 2: Episode 3.

In fairness, though, cost per model, they aren't really any more than most other stuff stocked at an FLGS. Not really sure what you mean about "die just like that" -- unless you mean, with a future codex, it can become less useful. Which is definitely true, but wait for the next codex, and perhaps it will be more powerful again
