Pretty simple. I would love to see Chaos get a proper update. Multiple new plastics (havocs, oblits/mutilators, terminators, cult troops, regular CSM, cultists), clam packs, the works. I also want every army that was pre-necrons to get an update, along with the remaining 6th edition books that haven't gotten anything. I'd love a few more campaign boxes as well as more finecast disappearing.

What do you want to see in the upcoming year?

Betrayal at Calth expansion set with new plastics would suit me just fine.

THIS. So much this.

Also, as is tradition, I will put out hope for plastic Sisters of Battle!

- Betrayal at Calth expansion featuring Mk III armour and Sicaran tank
- A Shield of Baal/Sanctus Reach style starter box featuring Salamanders
- *ALL current codices/models updated to 7th before moving on to the "next new army"

Updated formations in line with decursion-style. Give love to inquisition and assassins so they have more then one way to play. Also make more daemonkin, hopefully after chaos proper is updated, especially Slaanesh. Make slaanesh daemons useful as more then can openers, perhaps make the blood tithe equivalent focused on repositioning and forcing leadership teats that works like fear but ignores all but daemonic instability

Chaos SM that doesn't suffer from schizophrenia in its codex.
Chaos SM units that have synergy both in tabletop rules and in aesthetic rather than looking like random models from a variety of playsets bundled together who don't compliment each other particularly well.
Chaos SM that doesn't have to rely on Daemon allies to pull them through.
Chaos SM units that are on par with codex: Space Marines / Eldar / Tau in both cost and power.
Chaos SM that isn't all about Khorne. There were once rumours of Tzeentch Daemonkin....

But y'know, I'm just an old man rambling about what will never happen.

Forbes headline: "UK Gaming Giant, Games Workshop, sold to Hasbro"

I would like to see campaign boxed sets like what came out for War zone Damocles, but for more armies. They should release multiple storylines this year. One for Eldar, Orks, and Daemons would be nice. I wouldn't mind seeing a Space Wolves box and Blood Angels box as well.

I would really like to see the armies that have been screwed over by the advent of the super formation codexes get updated somehow. Either through errata, White Dwarf, or campaign boxes.

Fantasy Flight to purchase Games Workshop, keep the modeling team, sack the rules writers, and line Marketing up against the wall.

Seriously, to come up with a more poorly marketed product you have to enter the world of Chinese knockoff DVDs.

Battleforces with GOOD units for all armies
All codices updated to 7th
Forgeworld in FLGSs
Plastic Heresy Expansions
Tau vs BA Campaign (Shooty vs Melee... hehe)
BA Buffed
Decurions for all armies
Multiple campaigns
More 40k AdMech
Plastic Sisters. They deserve it
Sanguinius
Matt Ward to get fired

Most of that isn't happening... but oh well.

Matt Ward to get fired

You... do know that Matt Ward hasn't worked for GW for, like, 2 years now, right?

The raging hate-boner people have for this guy amazes me.

I'm still firmly rooted in 6th edition as I'm waiting for 8th ed. before I spend any more money. It's a long and frankly boring story that saw me buy 6th only to have it dropped a couple of months later.

I've still not forgiven GW for keeping it secret and stuffing people over like that.

For this reason, Ward is very much alive in my 40K universe. *shakes fist*

Maybe he wants Ward to get fired from where ever the guy is working now

Yeah the Ward hate is so 3 years ago

I've heard ramblings of a space wolves update in February. Probably just a minor update but leaves hope for the other pre-necron armies to get updated

Scariest thing?

Matt Ward's rules are sane and balanced compared to what's been pushed out since he left.

Agreed. Say what you want about the man's fluff, but he was very good at balancing codexes internally and externally. I know I would rather have my Assault Marine Troops, Scouting Fast Attack Baal Predators, and Death Company Troops.

5th Ed grey Knights guys? No but I see what you mean. While some things were powerful, nothing was like it is today

I think we have a pretty good chance of everyone being 7th edition by the end of 2016, there arn't that many codexes left

That's what they said about 6th edition.
"They're hardcovers because they'll be around a long time! GW's going to stick with 6th and all codexes will be on the same level."

Or....
They change design philosophy again and suddenly there's an all new paradigm for codexes that make older ones obsolete.

Dark Eldar get fixed asap and some new models as an apology for this atrocious codex.

Kroot Mercenaries I know the rumor is mostly debunked but I still would like to see it in an ideal world.

Tau Auxiliaries minidex.

All the current 6.5 codexes get updated ruleswise to the current formation focused rules with all roughly the same power-level as Necrons. Release FAQ's in the meantime while they are being updated so that things like Blood Angels and Space wolves have dreadnoughts and scouts' stats updated to the one's like in the vanilla codex. Also FAQ's on some of the more obnoxious rules issues like how many weapons a GMC can fire or the issues involving infiltrate right now. Also release an Eldar FAQ/Errata that returns D-weapons into their original format from the old codex, updates the Wraithknight into being 400 points, and changes it so scatbikes can only take a scatter laser/shuriken cannon for every 3 bikes there are in the unit.

Model-wise I think CSM at this point are the ones screaming for the biggest overhaul. They need new everything. New dual CSM/Havoc kit, a Chosen kit, a Mutilator/Obliterator kit, all the cult units need updating and honestly they could redo the designs for the Rhino/Predator/Land Raider and properly warpify them. Guys like Abbadon also desperately need a new model.

Orks need a new plastic warbuggy and deffkopta kit, as well as a proper Ork Warboss plastic HQ with potential Mega-Armour options.

IG need a new base infantry kit alongside updated catachan and cadian models that are smaller scale and include all the special weapons. Either Vostroyans or Armaggedon Steel Legion. Bring back the old siege weapons of the medusa, griffon and bombard and combine it with the basilisk kit.

Dark Eldar should get plastic grotesques and Incubi.

Eldar should have plastic Aspect warriors update as compensation for their depowering.

Chaos Daemons should get all their Greater Daemons updated to plastic kits.

A coherent, clear and balanced ruleset.

The return of FAQs and pre-7.5 codexes brought back to 7.5 power level.

I think you're asking too much from GW

A Black Templar Codex.

Tyranids that don't have to spam flyrants

Plastic Fire Raptor/Storm Eagle. Failing that I'd love to see the Sisters getting some love. Make a 5 (wo)man box with all of the options for Sisters on foot like the Grey Knight basic troop box and charge $35 for it. That one box would do so much to support the army.

I would ask for 10 models for that price but this is GW we are talking about. Though if they did the army would sell boat loads.

The interesting thing is that the Storm Eagle and Fire Raptor would use many of the same sprues as the Stormraven.

I wouldn't mind a plastic Land Raider Achilles or Terminus Ultra.

My 2016 wish list might include some stuff for armies I don't even play but would love to see more of at my FLGS. Such as:
-Plastic Sororitas
-a complete overhaul of Chaos Space Marines (rules, models, everything)
-fix Dark Eldar, as their models are very cool but their rules...not so much. I've only ever faced them once, and that was as allies for Craftworld Eldar, in over a year of playing.
-maybe an Ork Warboss kit that is similar to the Space Marine commander kit (i.e. has a lot of options as opposed to a clampack kit).
-a more balanced Tyranid codex. Like Dark Eldar, they have very cool models. Too bad you have to run a certain set of units to compete with them.
-new FAQs for all armies, as its been over a year since we had one.
-better Blood Angels. It would be nice to see a true BA army that isn't just a libby, two scout squads, and a bunch of pods full of Skitarii or something.
-plastic kits for the other three Greater Daemons, similar to what we got for the Bloodthirster.

Sisters.
