1. GW bring back the Rough Riders. With fantastic figures and Immune to Overwatch, always hits first, AP -5 power lance they become a popular unit.

2. A Warhammer 40,000 novel is actually good.

3. The Rough Riders go up in points, their abilities become Stratagems and the lance becomes Ap -1, One-use-only. They become an unpopular unit.

4. GW bring back Chainsaw Warrior as part of the specialist games range.

5. GW release the Primaris Crusader - basically a hovering Whirlwind.

6. GW announce the last 25+ years have been a mistake and go back to first edition WH40K (aka Rogue Trader). A million players lose their **** over Turn Rate Ratio.

7. In time for Christmas, the Craftworld Eldar model range is completely revamped with gorgeous new plastic sculpts - except the Avatar which continues as Finecast.

You missed out 8. GW squat rough riders, denying their existence in any version of the game and removing them from the legends list so they can never be fielded ever again, not even as a counts-as for another unit.

The new Space Marine Gravestone line also does surprisingly well.

I could Rest in Peace under a crux terminus.

After reading this article maybe Games Workshop will buy Wizards of the Coast. Then rule the Holy Trifecta - Cards, Miniatures, and RPGs

Despite all the flak that GW is (justifiably) receiving, they will probably do a better job in managing Magic: the Gathering than WotC is doing at the moment. So yeah, I'm all in favor of this one!

What's Wizards done this time (besides getting bought out by GW)?

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

It’s that time of year again. So it’s time for the same old joke.

GW will release a Chaos Codex which is universally hailed and ceases all complaints from Chaos players for its duration as the current Codex.

**CragHack**

FW does made to order on everything they've discontinued. After a price increase or with 50% markup

**Sunno**

GW will re-releases Inquisitor with a 4 model starter set with scenery but they will up the scale from 54mm to 120mm

**Flinty**

Games Workshop take over a manufacturer of tables, and instantly.reverses their push into smaller battlefield sizes by immediately.tripling the effective range of all.weapons and doubling all base sizes. The new 3d scenery rules emphasise current HSE guidance and building regulations for edge protection of balconies and voids and any attempt to apply the "wobbly model" rules leads to instance forfeiture of the game, and immediate breaking of your fingers.

Competitive games must be played on a minimum table size of 4m x 3m.

For Aeronautica Imperialis...

5 - All Eldar units moved to plastic but each box has half as many models and costs twice as much.

They already done that, they started with 20 then in second went to 10, in third they had 16 and now they have 10 again and are still the same price unless you count the box of 4 which is way over priced anyway.

All too believable. I'd be very happy for that.

The good news is the will be a plastic Thunderhawk - but in a new 'collectors' scale that renders it unusable for any game they publish....

**Kid_Kyoto**

114 - GW will pull the current line of plastic Battle Sisters and replace it with a different line of plastic Battle Sisters just to make up for the decades of neglect. That line, in turn, will be pulled and replaced in 2022.

Lovely avatar!

GW releases a new line of themed snacks for you to indulge in at the game table. Tasty treats like Grox Sticks, Blood Cauldron Brew, and Flesh Tearer Chips.

So grossly overpowered and imbalanced? We could call it 3.5 ver. 2.0

**licclerich**

All Christmas models for 2021 will need batteries. Read the fine print.

134. All combat interactions between models must now be played out as a separate game on a 12"x12" mini-board using new "combat rules" and Epic-sized miniatures to represent each model's stats, such as attacks and strength. Epic-sized dice must also be used. This new game is called Warhammer 4.0k.

Wait, no, Warhammer 1/40k.

"Okay, my model's weapon range is 24", so I get that many points to spend on my micro army. I'll take... a squad of micro-intercessors, micro-eradicators, and... I guess a micro-bladeguard squad. Your model's save is 3+, so you get to place 4 pieces of terrain. Setup is 3 inches in, but I'm firing an assault weapon, so I get an extra d6" of deployment. Okay, let's roll for micro-mission."
