Id like to see the Custodes vanish. I love their fluff but they are the Emperors personal guard and emissaries, not a full pledged army going all over the place.
Otherwise I agree with all the people saying that a lot of the codices need to be combined. Combine the Tyranids and Genestealer cult, Combine all the Marines into one mega Codex, Eldar should just be Elder (space pirates and Slaanesh tainted Dark Eldar), all Chaos including Daemons, and all Inquisitorial (Ordo Malleus, Ordo Xenos, Ordo Hereticus, and Officio Assassinorum).

GW would vehemently disagree with you, especially when we now can ally, so they could not force you to buy more books.

GW:"Space marines got too many options to balance, therefore we decided to legends HH units."
Players: "why?!? Now we finally got decent plastic kits and you cut them?"
Chaos marines players: "Since when are Daemonengines 30k models and why do i have NO droppods now?"
GW" MONEY.... erm i meant TOO MANY OPTIONS (to resell your army to you again by disalowing former units)! Do you want specific tyranid fighiting Primaris? Even a new sabotage lieutnant!"
Chaos players: Guess i stop playing or go to HH. |

I don't really get why people think that entire races need a combined codex when we have how many Marine dexes with mostly cosmetic or pretend differences that would all be replicated in one or mroe non snowflake chapter.

Well, let's see what factions I would have in the game if it was up to me:
- Space Marines (Index Astartes supplement for divergent Chapter-related stuff)
- Chaos (Tome of Chaos supplement for God-specific stuff)
- Eldar (with Harlequins mini-dex)
- Orks
- Imperial Guard (Regiments of Renown supplement for unique regiment-specific stuff)
- Inquisition (Sisters and Grey Knights included, Agents of the Imperium supplement for fringe stuff like Arbites and Mechanicus)
- Necrons
- Tau Empire (with Kroots mini-dex)
- Dark Eldar
- Genestealer Cults
This way, we can have 5 "Forces of Order" factions and 5 "Forces of Destruction" factions for an easier campaign organization and other narrative shenanigans.
Tyranids would be reduced to a purely narrative threat aka "If you don't stop these GCs then the Tyranids arrive and om-nom-nom your world." So I guess my pick for killing a faction would be them.

Delete all bad factions and turn 40K into exclusively IG mirror matches.

So, Warhammer 2k, instead of 30k HH?
I'm OK with that!

If I was in charge of rolling factions together I’d do it like this:
The Vanilla Marine codex stays the same.
All non-specialist Marines get rolled into Codex Adeptus Astartes: Non-compliant.
Deathwatch, GK, Inquisition, Sisters of Silence, Sisters of Battle (maybe, maybe keep their own codex) possibly Militarum Tempestus.
Tyranids and Genestealer Cults get a half-and-half codex.
IK stay the same.
Adeptus Mechanicus stays the same.
Adeptus Custodes stay the same.
Tau stay the same.
Necrons stay the same.
Orks stay the same.
IG stay the same.
I don’t know enough about Chaos, but I would probably keep all their codices separate.
The Eldar all get rolled together.

I'm baffled by people who want to make Eldar one codex but don't put Chaos Marines with Space Marines.

I hope you are not talking about me, as well, as I cited my reasoning for lack of knowledge of Chaos.

IMO all of the existing armies could be rolled into these codices:
Space Marines (Chapters can use unique detachments like Deathwing or loadouts like Furioso. Special Characters etc come with their own datasheets that can plug straight into an SM list in their Force Org Slot)
Imperial Guard
Agents of the Imperium (Inquisitors, GK, DW, Admech, SoB, slot them straight into any SM/IG army in their Force Org Slot. I would drop Custodes completely if I had the power)
Chaos Space Marines
Chaos Daemons (could even potentially combine these two)
Ork
Tyranids (GSC go here)
Eldar (Harlequins go here)
Dark Eldar
Necrons
Tau Empire (expand on mercs/allied races, drop the gundam)
Cuts a lot of the fat, keeps armies simple and thematic. Restrict Knights (Agents of the Imperium list) and other Superheavies to Apoc games only.
If I had to choose a single faction to retcon out of existence, it'd probably be Necrons. While the C'tan/Machine God fluff is interesting, I don't think they fill a niche that other 40k armies don't already do better.
