No, I dont mean nerfing the Riptide or Scats, I mean units you like/have lots of/used to use/miss playing.
Personally I'd like to see Wolf Guard Termies make a comeback. I have about 20 of them and can never seem to fit them in a list or make them work that well.
Shout outs also to Killakanz and Tyranno/Carnifexes.

Terminators, followed by assault terminators, followed by terminator command squads.

Then Vehicles i guess.

90% of the grey knight codex.

Chaos Terminators.

right? at this point it should just be called, Codex: Baby carrier and some other units to field them.

I'd like to see some universal vehicle buffs, stuff like eliminating glances and allowing vehicles to target multiple units.

For specific buffs, the loss of the Broadside's strength 10 railweapon still hurts, as buff to the new HRR to at least make it a reasonable alternative to the HYMP would be nice, but most would agree Tau aren't in need of a lot right now.

A character: Lucius. I love me some Slaanesh and I would really like to have Lucius lead one of my EC armies and actually pull some weight. Last time I brought him he got insta killed by a meltagun after his body guards were blown apart.

As for models I have loads of but never get to use, Khorne bezerkers and Possessed. I have enough of each to run swarm armies but it is too sad to see them both be gunned down before they can turn their enemies to shreds. In the game I mentioned above a unit of Havocs did more damage in cc than any possessed I took, depressing. :(

I would like to see IG tanks buffed up, and rough riders also :\ .

Legion of the Damned. I'd like them to get a rework

Tyranids, the whole codex. Wonderful models, abysmal rules; instinctive behavior/synapse needs an overhaul and the game has moved on so that running hordes of gaunts, ripper and stealers isn't really viable.

Most of the Chaos Codex, Lucius, Mutilators, Defilers, and Fabius Bile for some specifics.

What would be your perfect base terminator?

I would like to see at the least T5

I'd like to see assaulting out of stationary vehicles come back. I would probably use howling banshees more then.

I'd also like to see a hard limit on gargantuan creatures/ super heavies, say max 1 per full 1500 points available.

There have been multiple threads about this with no real resolution. I don't think T5 really fixes anything.

Celestine needs EW BSS need to drop 1-2ppm, seraphim need a cqc gimmick, repentia need bikes, Canoness needs a 35pt drop or some serious buffs, Celestians need to not be pointless, penitent engines need to be monstrous creatures. exorcist is great but less random please. drop pods would be cool.

Tank shocking. I want to run over stuff again.

Fixes ID for Str8 at the least. There are other things but I was curious.

Everything except Flyrants in the Tyranid codex.

Another thought is more allowed charges, but make them disordered, and make disordered charges have a real penalty instead of just denying a bonus. Like maybe initiative reduced to 1.

I'd also like to see most special melee weapons (and models that come equipped with them standard) - in the current shooting heavy environment no way is a power weapon worth a Plasma Gun.

I do play Tau, and did back in 5th Ed where we were murdered by hard charging Blood Angels and Grey Knights, but I do think there needs to be some redress to the melee units now that WH40K is a proper shooting game.

I'm not saying we should nerf shooting, remove over watch or similar, just give more chances for charges to happen and cut back on the pricing of melee stuff a bit to recognize it's not as effective as heavy firepower.

T5 would help out a lot! That or 2 wounds Imo is the quickest way to make terminators worth it, that and allowing assault terminators to charge out of deep strike.

But yea, another thread lol

Definitely terminators. Cmon, they're supposed to be most badass and iconic veterans in the Space Marine arsenal. I'd love to see them also get rid of that stupid sweeping advance restriction considering we got tons of bulkier and heavier units able to sweep advance.

Berzerkers need a buff to match their price or a price decrease to match their loadout. If you keep the price, give them their chainaxes free again. Or give them another attack. Fething give them assault rhinos for khornes sake!

But they've been good, what? One edition? 4th?

Burning Chariots of Tzeentch. I've love the model they made for it but it had such such terrible rules when they released it in 6th (literally not functional rules wise) and while 7ed fixed its rules issue now the power creep has passed it by making it still very not playable

At least it sees the table top by being summoned by Fateweaver now.

Imperial Guard. The entire Codex.

Wouldn't that end up getting fixed if they made vehicles not gak?

Mostly, yes.

The balance between Assault and Shooting.

Characters/Psychics and Allies reined in to drastically reduce the power of Death Stars.

Standardize the damage system. Vehicle and MC moved to an AoS style declining performance until death.

Cover altered to affect everything equally. If Ignores cover is kept have it degrade the effects of cover not remove it completely.

Agree almost 100% - except for flyrants it is the devourer and basic parts of the flyrant that don't need tweaking as they are strong (maybe too strong with multiple flyrants which I hate - I liked the days of a single hive tyrant (the essence of the hive mind), but I'm getting side-tracked) - there are many biomorphs/upgrades that flyrants can use, whether buffs types or weapons, that need fixing.

One of the main things for 8th is to make assault units worthwhile - and I don't mean deathstar type units - I mean regular close-combat type units. Tyranids (and other armies/units that are assault based) suffer from BRB rules that hurt or undermine such units and then poor dexes that messed them up further. So fixing 8th with regard to regular assault units would be great but not enough - dexes with such units all need to be fixed as needed.

Assault in general.
