Daemons, GD - LoW & Flyer

Daemons have 4 LoW.

I would quite like to have Khornate Sorcerers - Sorcerers who have fallen to Khorne so rather than use their psychic powers to pull some psychic nonesense, they use their powers to channel the warp into pure hatred. Khorne could get it's own equivalent to a psychic table which does stuff like: 8" +1A aura, 8" re-roll to hit aura, etc. Wouldn't really be a fluff breach since 1. There have been Sorcerers who have dedicated themselves to Khorne before and 2. If you keep the powers based in buffs of an aura affect then it does not anger Khorne due to his hatred of sorcerers fighting from afar.

So you want AoS'S Bloodbound into 40k?

If that's what Bloodbound is? I don't follow AoS.

Yeah, they are based around auras, and buffs from their Blood Priest. Basically Khorne Psykers but instead or robes and staffs they are like this:

And like this:


If they kill stuff, they receive bonuses to their prayers.

Looming over his Bloodbound brethren, his face locked into a permanent rictus of raging hatred, the Slaughterpriest is literally swollen with the force of Chaos. Demagogues capable of boiling enemies alive with a roared prayer, their booming chants fill everything around them with mindless rage, causing them to disregard any concept of self-preservation and fling themselves into battle with mindless fury. Slaughterpriests are notorious for gaining their hideous power by drinking the blood of the fallen foe; this grisly tribute to Khorne causes their limbs to stretch and bones to harden, turning them into brutes rightly feared across the realms.

Please no. Put the Land Raiders spraypainted gold away and give us the skimmers.

custodes land raiders date back to at LEAST the inital heresy visions book.

Yes, but given the choice between "yet more overpriced and unuseable boxes, only spraypainted gold this time" and "awesome skimmer tanks with disintegrator guns that aren't wildly overpriced crap in an already expensive army" I'd take the skimmers any day.

The HQs in the Kroot Mercenaries list were called Shamans, Master Shapers, and Shaper Councils.

For necrons - something like a walking cadian pylon.
Like, its a big anti-psyker beacon that moves around on 4 insect like legs that creates an aura around it that allows units within it to Deny the Witch.

Alternately: Make it a controlled/generated blank aura, with rules that give penalties to nearby psychic tests the way the Sisters of Silence and the Culexis do. And bring back the lore implication that the Necrons were somehow involved in engineering the Pariah gene into humanity, that was cool.

Alpha legion assasins, a unit a lot like heresy era seekers, and a vigilator (a seeker captain type guy) to match

Necrons:

A Tomb blade character, that can buff bikers on tour. Perhaps that new canoptek kite riding cryptek can fill the role.

A canoptek character, to buff canopteks

The only Eldar thing I believe needs rectifying is a proper Avatar of Khaine. The current one is stuck with the old model, which I love. However because of its size, the rules for the Avatar have just become progressively worse over editions as the Greater Daemons have become giant plastic kits.

In 2nd ed., etc. when they were all the same scale they were all equally tough and scary. As the Avatar has been out-scaled, GW have seen fit to continually minimize the rules, making it less and less impressive. In reality the Avatar should be one of the most fearsome units in the game.

Even if the points cost went up, the Avatar should be far grander than it is now, and I just think that's a result of GW's failure to produce a plastic kit for it after 24 years.

Even when I field one, my opponents ask "Okay, so how good is the Avatar?" and my answer is "He's not...he's expensive and he dies easily".

We already have one, and he's very large and very gorgeous. The only problem is that he's Forgeworld, so despite being used for all the promotional artwork these days, GW likes to pretend he doesn't exist when it comes time to sit down and actually write the rules.

Chaos Space Marines:

1.) Elites: Khorne Berzerkers on juggernaut mounts: rules of Berzerkers + 1S and +1W + daemon keyword + bladed horn attacks from the juggernauts. Option for Icon of Wrath or a unique icon allowing them to advance and charge. Every model armed with bolt pistols/chainswords stock. Any model can upgrade chainswords to weapons from the melee weapons list, upgrade bolt pistols to plasma pistols, or exchange bolt pistol and chainsword for a 2-handed chainaxe with +3S -2AP.

2.) HQ: Khornate Spellbreaker: Chaos Lord with 3+ BS and no re-roll 1’s aura. Instead, has a collar of Khorne, re-rolls 1’s to wound in the fight phase (only the character, not an aura), and has a witcheater weapon: upgraded version of any power weapon with its current points cost/modifiers and if any successful wounds are inflicted on a psyker, it suffers an additional d3 mortal wounds. Can upgrade to be equipped with jump pack, terminator armor, bike, or juggernaut mount.

Also: Dark Apostles, Warpsmiths, and Exalted champions can all purchase juggernaut mounts as upgrades.


I’m a simple man who loves juggernauts.

I feel like DeathGuard got a lot of flavorful units. So I don't really feel like I want anything new, I am pleased with what we got. But a small boost to certain units would help to make the armies more diverse. . Not to make them that much better or OP; just to make them a proper alternative to other units in the codex (other than for fun, I have the model, or the model is cool..)

The units:
Plaguebearers. Cultists, Poxwalkers, and Nurglings are simply better choices. I never use them. they simply don't have what I need,
Hellbrute, Defiler, Landraider, and Predator. Give them disgustingly resilient. That's all. Then other vehicles than PBC will be used.
Chaos spawn. Also need disgustingly resilient or something.
Posessed. Throw 1d3 pr model for the number of attacks, not one for the entire unit.
Plague drones. No reason to choose them when you got access to foetid bloat drones. I don't really know what they need, they just need something more.

And one point that annoys me, but is really not that important. I just want to throw it out there.
Mortarions gun, the lantern. Remove the rule for having to aim at the closest model in the unit you shot at. The guns special rule is somewhat useless combined with that. And as a result of that, almost everyone throws grenades with him instead.

Absolutely 100% behind this.

Also, additional rules for Sentinels that give them Auspex Scanners and Vox-Casters for effects.

For Death Guard....

* I was really disappointed that we lost the Heldrake. We're missing a flyer unit really and you could make a "Plaguedrake" that has a plagueflamer type weapon.

* I know that the DG are all about walking forwards bolters blazing but we are missing proper heavy weapons. A limited Havoc type unit would be nice to help deal with armour and monsters.

* A change to Mortations pistol, the Lantern, that I would like to see is that it hits every model under the line not just one model per unit.

I'd like to see a Xenos-Chaos character, preferably Eldar. We know humans aren't the only race to fall to Chaos and I quite like the Chaos-Aliens in the form of Tzaangors, give me more of that.
Maybe even the whole Slaanesh-eldar faction that's hinted in the main rulebook.

For Grey Knights, I would love to have a way to really deal with armored vehicles. It could be a new special weapon, on the psychich theme (like a Psy-lascannon), or dedicated Psy-power, or even something simpler (predators for GK?)

Death Guard could use a bomber that drops blight bombs. Something to give them a flyer/fast attack option.

It baffles me why we have Thunderwolves and Bloodcrushers but despite already having a model with a CSM riding a jugger before both, we never got Khornzerkers on Juggies.

I would also like to see the return of Noise Terminators (Slaaneshi Terminators armed with Sonic Blasters and Blastmasters) and Noise Predators. If I remember, these were formerly possible with the 3.5 edition codex (by replacing their weapons with sonic weapons) but have since been discarded due to 4th edition's "Streamlining".

My Dream:

Imperial citizens boxes. Each box would have a sprue for making 10 imperial citizens and then come with one 'upgrade sprue' based on what faction the box was sold for.

For example:
Tau sprue for Tau Human auxilleres
Ministorum sprue for imperial martyr mob
Ork sprue for Ork hired Human Mercs
GSC sprue for non-miner GSC hybrids
You could even do a sprue for each of the chaos gods and use them as cultists

The fluff has all these examples on normal imperial citizens getting involved on one side or the other, but they've never been modeled in the game outside of cultists and GSC. I'd love to have all those fluffly options

Bike units for IG, Kakasins for IG, give vets options again, admech transports, Mira from space marine as character for IG, jump pack and dev primaris.

For Emperor's Children...

Slaanesh Hell-Knight (from old EPIC)
Dueling unit (similar to Palatine Blades from 30k)
and of course DoomRider

I'd like to see a scout character of some kind for Raven Guard. Also, maybe some kind of veteran unit that can natively infiltrate without using a strategem, or alternatively a unit that could move immediately after deepstriking.

I'd like some sort of equivalent of Command sort of HQ character. One who doesn't actually want to fight, but rather sit in the backline and be able to buff units from ACTUAL long distances, they could have a weapon that allows them to deny movement to the enemy kind of like the Thunderfire Cannon.

Something that could force the opponent to have to move in on MY side of the board rather than just waiting for me.

Necrons have the usual wants, I'd like tomb stalker and tomb sentinel to be in plastic.

As for new ideas, I'd like a dreadnought equivalent that isn't a C'Tan, something thematic and awesome like a techno sphynx.

Like IG commanders?

For Orks?

Useful Grots: Porting over Night Goblins to 40k would be a hoot, as would Spider-Riders and Wolf Riders.

Heck, a more diversified Orkology: Plastic Snotlings and squigs anyone?

More "tech" uses of Orky Science: Active directed forcefields, tractor beams that push-pull, Grabbin Klaws that can drag or throw stuff.

Proppa Cybork rules: Surgery on Orks is fairly idiot-proof and they can accept implants that should have no right to exist. Hoverboyz, Goronobz with 4 arms, etc.

Proper Orky VDR...

Scion specialist units, snipers, demolitions, stuff like that, which would allow the Scions to play as an army of their own more easily.

Super Heavy Command Tanks that take up a Lord of War slot and an HQ slot (forcing a supreme command detachment) unless you take 3 or more Superheavies in the Super Heavy Detachment (which would auto-upgrade one like the old Knight Baron did if you brought 3 Knights).

It'd not even need +1 BS, just the ability to do some neat stuff for other superheavies like orders or something. +1 BS could also be the only thing it does, idk. Something to reflect the fact that the tanks are actually organized into a company and not just a loose connection of randomly jumbled vehicles.

Now I miss Tomb Kings even more.

for Harlequins I would add several units. A death jester that can equip other heavy weapons like they used to be able to in rogue trader. Pistoleer unit that can equip two pistoles that can advance and fire both pistols. Mime unit that can infiltrate and have bonus while in cover. Wraith lord like unit that hold the sole of solitaire.
