I'd like to see a Gaming table in every home and half a dozen pubs in each city.

This would be nice, I imagine it like pool tables at bars. A few drinks and playing with your friends is one thing but I'd like to be able to do like a quick pick-up game without having to have strangers in my house.

We have that in my city now. Have coffee and play games, be it MtG, 40K or even board games. Come in and play. Great place. I buy most of my 40K stuff there now. He doesn't carry much but orders me what ever I want.

Remove the Vehicle Damage Table completely. This would be a good first step to make Vehicles playable.

I'd give close combat armies a bone.

Overwatch exists. I'd bring back the old rule from 3rd(?) for the consolidation move that said If a unit rolls a high enough move and can reach an enemy unit it counts as a charge.

I'm going to +1 this. I 100% agree. As someone who played ..about 70% of my games were played in third edition, the loss of "consolidating into close combat" is sorely missed. I don't believe it counted as charging. Just that a new combat was initiated. And that would go a long way to fix what happens now.. being rewarded for taking out a squad in close combat...by getting shot to hell by neighboring squads.

Plus, it would throw jump pack units a bone with 2d6 consolidation.

Orks get a new Codex and a court order is put in place barring the souls responsible for the last one from contributing or interfering with the making of the new one in any way under threat of being publicly beaten with a carp of questionable freshness.

Put all relevant codices into one book (e.g: all SM chapters in one big codex). Makes things easier.

OR

Like someone else said. Make one HUGE BRB with all the rules, fluff, and codices altogether in one.

Oh and make the game balanced... Don't want to forget that one lol.

My one wish would that consolidating into combat never becomes a thing again

Rule set as a living document.

I'd bring back the atmosphere/environment of 2nd edition.

Assault is, except for a few fast moving units, dead in 40k. The rules that limit assault need to be removed or modified.

For example, remove the rules that limit the ability to assault from reserves.

Stop limiting the ability to turn 1 assault.

Allow assaults after disembarking from all vehicles, though if the vehicle in question is not an assault vehicle, the unit strikes at initiative 1 no matter what.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Also, if I had a second wish, it would be to remove the "if you have no units on the board at the end of a game turn, you lose" rule. It's just stupid in a game that has random arrival from reserves.

If you could only change one aspect of 40k (be it fluff, rules, models,etc...) what would it be? Try and keep it specific and only one thing.

I would make it so that GW does not systematically gak on particular factions. Eldar have never been sub par, and chaos in this edition is getting actively screwed over by GW (as seen with their supplement rehash at the same time as the SM one), and for some reason every single release GW makes for 40k has a Space Marine component.
Even when they are releasing no new SM models, they still add stuff.

Hey try this OTHER PAGE OF MINE Age of the Imedium, it a rework of AOS for 40k and it may be a fun test play and is still in development I want the game to be balanced fun and exciting let me know what yang think other then the "omg AOS 40k lame".

I have 2 wishes. Make 40K like AoS.

By that, I mean tell us how to move, how to shoot, how to have close combat. Very basic rules.

Then have all the data slates for free on the net like AoS has and have all the special rules on them. . Then do what PP does or what they are doing now in AoS (in the new boxset) and put all the special rules on the cards that come with the minis and data scrolls.

This should make the game so much less flipping through pages. You playing with minis have the cards with the rules on them so quick insta find when looking to show your opponent that special rule.

Agreed you might like my rework then lol

Every codex released and to be released will be balanced.

If I can have a second, stop Martel complaining about BA.

Or, failing that, have him stop telling people that the fluff should always be discounted.

On a slightly more realistic scale than most the suggestions in here, even if they are much better than mine; I'd get rid of "double strength is instadeath."

If a weapon has the special rule, fair enough. But as I play Skitarii mainly as a pure Skitarii army, that rule is the one keeping me from enjoying my games. Basically anything has S6, which is enough to kill off any of my multi wound models, and AP4, which is enough to tear through my armour.

Even geared out, you can take my warlord down 50% of the time with one S6 wound of any AP (as he would have a 4++.)

Same here with IG and I'd rather have more instant death

My Sicarian Infiltrator Warlord is meant to get into combat. He doesn't huddle behind the rest, throwing out combat orders.

So Skitarii are like all Eldar, Dark Eldar, Harlequin etc leaders then? They die to S6.

Well, no. We don't have jetbikes to get it up to T4, and we don't have anything like Maugan Ra or Baharroth.

Dark Eldar don't have those either. Or Harlequins.

Less emphasis on Space Marines.

I honestly have no idea what Dark Eldar have, but since you're wrong about Harlequins (Skyweavers,) that makes it 2 out of 3 of the ones you mentioned that I *know* you're wrong about, so I'm not gonna take your word for it.

Edit: I looked it up.

T4: Haemonculus, Drazhar, Wracks, Khymera
T5: Sslyth, Urien Rakarth, Grotesques, Clawed Fiend

Jesus, man. Could you be more wrong?

Bobthehero, Why is consolidating into combat so bad as to use your wish to simply block it?

You can't consolidate into combat. Not since 4E.

And it's bad because any unit that can wipe out an enemy unit in one assault phase without really taking damage can, in theory, take out an entire army in one turn. Imagine a unit built to have I6, 2-4 attacks per model on the charge, Ap 2/3 weapons and the strength/kit to bust tanks.

And this is a large part of why the Wolves were considered OP.

Move everything back to 5th edition, the last time the game had even a thin veil of balance and a grasp of the scale it's meant to be played at, and where there were far less issues with MCs vs Tanks, Skimmers vs Other Vehicles, better CC functionality, etc

Failing that? Return to the old single CAD FOC army construction system.

Sell forgeworld via GW and/ or retailers.
