What do you want for your army in 8th?
I personally want berzerkers to be better (likely) and for new daemon primarchs.... All we can do is wait

**TheLumberJack**

A more easily available game so i can get my friends to play with me

**andysonic1**

Seeing as GW are bending over backwards to tell us Berzerker's are "fixed", my hope is they are telling the truth.

**Desubot**

Im hoping people will stop thinking in a 7th edition mind set.

also being able to run angry washing machines without them blowing up T1

also everything being viable. even vespids.

**Marmatag**

Hoping for Grey Knights to be awesome.

**Roknar**

Rules that aren't based on existing kits alone when 8th hits.

**Rippy**

Chaos Spartan assault tank isn't too expensive with Typhus and a bunch of chaos terminators in there

**fwlr**

Not to be stomped on........

Looking at ynnead

**Earth127**

To not feel like I'm fighting the game more than my opponent when playing CSM.

That's not very Chaosy of you, it's a struggle being evil god followers

**Mr Morden**

Sisters:

(Obviously new plastic models)
More effective Canoness
Celestins to have something that means they are worth taking
Usable Penitent Engines
Repentia should get a boost if they can assulat from Vehicles
no reduction in units!

Dark Eldar:
Wyches to be better in close combat than Guardians - not convinced
Elite versions actually elite
Flicker field back for raiders and Ravagers - CONFIRMED

Be fun to have the spliner pistol helm back for Incubis

Space Wolves:
Erase Wulfen, Wolf Riders, Sleigh, Murder dreadnoughts

Marines
Erase Centurions
Combine Assault and Tactical Terminators

Atia hinted that there might be Primaris Centurions. Jus' sayin'

**Roknar**

Ah right, thanks Mr Morden. A frickin jump pack for my canoness XD. I'm not touching sisters until I get that back lol.

**Marmatag**

Centurions are cool. Why do people hate them so much?

Sudden inclusion out of flippin no where. also i probably should take a gander at their fluff but i dont understand how they fit in with the codex organization. are they like bikes in that units can take them when needed for specific missions and why are they in 3s and 6s. not that i dont mind exo skeletons for your exo skeletons for specific war time needs.

**JohnU**

Every army has multiple decent builds. Even the armies I don't play.

**Traditio**

I hope that people will fear the missile launchers on my tac and devastator squads.

**ERJAK**

PLastic Models.

**MagicJuggler**

Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.

**GreatGranpapy**

S4 boyz

**Luke_Prowler**

Decent assault.
I'd also hope for GW to stop it's "no rules without model" policy, but that's a fool's dream.

I'll second the desire for decent assault. Which policy do you mean though?

**flamingkillamajig**

(Dark eldar) Being relevant in the game background but i'm not holding my breath, not having my faction get squatted, new models for a next codex instead of re-made ones (excepting the void raven which we already technically had), don't gut all the characters of dark eldar and maybe not sucking aside from a few units only mildly sucking.

**Dakka Wolf**

Assault on equal footing with shooting.

Post Chapter House Lawsuit, GW started removing equipment, wargear, and even whole units and special characters if there wasn't a model they made to represent them. The best example being the tyranid spore pod, which had been removed for a while until they finally came out with the Mycetic Spore model.

This is good for people who just want to use whatever GW gives them, it's annoying for people like me who'd be will to got the extra distance to covert stuff. In particular I've love it if the mek/Big Meks finally got a tellporta option as a wargear. But since they're probably not going to release a new Mek kit anytime soon, it won't happen.

Edit: I mean Tyrannocyte model, my bad

on the bright side if FW is being brought more mainstream as everything seems to indicate, that'll make things a bit better as FW'll be able to introduce new bits and bling and publish rules updates. 8th moving to a more living rules set will make that a LOT easier

**Luciferian**

Ah yes, and thus the changing of names to things they could easily copyright along with abandoning anything they couldn't, including Brettonians and Tomb Kings.

**Verviedi**

Here's what I want.
• The release of Fir-

it don't need to write the whole thing, you know what I mean.
• Every army to have viable builds.
• Tau to be made fun to play against.
• End to the M A X I M U M C O P Y R I G H T naming policy.
• Revocation of the "No model no rules" policy.

**the_scotsman**

I want GW to finally understand that the Dark Eldar should be about a bit of trickery and flair. Currently, their codex is about as blunt as the Ork codex, despite all the fancy language surrounding the descriptions of what the weapons do. Our most common unique special rule is "does not work on space marines."

Give them some tricks. Dark Eldar are the campy evil bond villain genius faction of 40k. Since their relaunch, they've been pretty much locked into just assaulting you with a wall of poison.

The faction focus solely revealing concrete but generally unsurprising stats was disappointing to me. I would've much preferred general descriptions on all the exciting new ways the dark eldar will be shooting up and hacking up their prey.
