I imagine the same will happen for eldar. Constant complaints will lead to them being made terrible so people will still want to play. But that's power creep for you.

Do not put money down on that one.

Oh I would. I foresee something like nids or maybe even orks getting a top teir spot in 8th. Why? Because then people will
Buy lots of models for the brand new tourney winning army. My buddy who plays orks is dying for that day

If guard i'd say it's the fact they were the punching bags of 40k in the lore and the fact marines steal glory all the time from them. Cadians though one of my more favorite groups of guard they have an assembly line look to them and while it may make them faceless it's horribly boring to paint or to look at. Painting horde armies is never a fun thing either esp. given the faceless guys. Also axing off sly marbo for IP reasons (bunch of ****s).

For dark eldar it's the fact they're not very strong in the game right now and the fact it's often a melee focused army in a currently shooting man's game. The last codex also didn't give us a lot of new models. It chopped off a lot of characters and made things much less viable over other things (mandrakes were made better but still suck though). I'm also jealous of the things eldar got that dark eldar were denied (jetbike heroes, a GMC or super heavy, lots of heroes and more viable army units). Right now eldar are what dark eldar should be minus the armor and being more fragile.

For Blood Angels, it's Captain Tycho's rules and model that I despise. I'd love nothing more than to see both updated to match his awesome and tragic fluff. Bonus cool points to Mr Games Workshop if we got a Triumvirate of the Imperium style kit with Tycho, Yarrick and Helbricht for an Armageddon campaign. Maybe some extra love with special rules for the Ironhelms?

Dark Angels: Deathwing is by far the coolest thing in the entire codex and at the same time completely unplayable trash. Also, no matter the odds, I always lose at least 2-3 Black Knights out of 16 or so to Gets Hot! in the first turns. None of the named characters outside of Sammael are worth even looking at and even Sammy's speeder is complete and utter trash. Thank the Emperor for the last functioning jetbike.

Admech: No transports whatsoever, Electro-Priests of both sorts are so bad that it makes me almost vomit.

Electro-Priests are a hard unit to price/use correctly, because on their own they are quite mediocre but in conjunction with canticles they are capable of putting out absolutely staggering abounts of damage.

For sisters, my main dislike would be the lack of anything useful in the Elites choice. Seriously, Celestians aren't worth the time as they're a basic sister squad by another name. Repentia? Just die before getting anywhere with their cloth saves- fluffy? Absolutely and I like them for it, but...ranting

And Penitent engines in the heavy slot- I do wish it was in elite.

For sisters, penitent engine deserve an elite slot.

Celestians are useless. Sisters aren't good in melee in the first place.

Repentia and assassins/crusaders have no way of getting into combat with their lack of assault vehicle.

All in all they need an assault vehicle.

Let's see...
DE are chock full of Bond villains and some of the best tools and wargear of any character, but outside of Apoc we have almost no Kabalite-themed decurions or large formations.

Orks on the other hand are a different can of worms in my opinion. They are the last bastion of comic relief in the game-reckless trukk waaaghs+spamming blast weapon platforms = 0 dull moments - atm and I really want to see the writing go back to when I was starting to join the hobby. I want to see at least the IG return to poking fun at the pompous clowns in commander's uniforms while the down-to-earth 'men go die in droves. I wanna see "evil" armies led by Bond Villains, not in-universe tropes.

Yeah, most of my dislikes with these guys lie with the larger game's design: give us back our dark comedy! Man cannot live on Edge alone!

An Armageddon campaign sounds like a deal. Just fix the Waaagh! Ghazghkull book (third time's the charm!) and give everyone new minis. That would definitely motivate me to start collecting BT.

Dark Eldar:
Eesh where to begin?
Described as lightning fast and yet can't move more than 6" with their vehicles if they want to do anything useful, and have to jink to have a slight chance of survival.
Mandrakes that are supposed to be a melee unit but charging with them is suicide (due to no grenades and NO SAVE!)
And that some of the coolest stuff they have (soul fright) doesn't work on marines (despite not being all that powerful in the first place)

Loads more but you get the pont

Necrons lack that big centerpiece model. I'd love it if they had a good C'Tan or some sort of large mechanical construct. IMO none of the forge world stuff looks that cool.

Monoliths say hi
Necrons have plenty of centerpiece models. Its just none of them are that good compared to other factions rules wise.
Necron SHV are pretty lacklustre, monoliths and C'tan are a joke compared to their 3rd incarnations, and Forge World's version of the Tomb Stalker is disappointing compared to the Medusa V Tomb Stalker (seriously, wtf? Why the same name? The FW stalker isn't a titan)

I just realized that there are 3 necron units with Stalker in the name. Triarch Stalker, Tomb Stalker and Medusa V Stalker (ok, not really a thing, but it did happen)
Dammit GW, pick up a fething thesaurus.

Chaos Marines:

The horrible outdated models, particularly the chaos marine boxed set. Mk. IV robot pants with mk. V or VII hemets? Terrible execution.
