The 4th edition Space Marine codex had a section about chapter traits. You could make a codex compliant chapter (as in it took all the standard units and equipment) and then pick your chapters traits, with you picking benefits and downsides to balance them out. This allows you to create a unique chapter but still follow the standard codex. They also included some of the 'common' chapters as examples, which included imperial fists, white scars and salamanders.. I feel this would be a much better option than including a codex for every compliant chapter.

As a side gig they'll also be hunting and trying to decipher the functioning of psy tech in the hopes that they might learn something useful or else be able to make psychic weapons or summon demons of the emporer). I do like guard a ton so I hope Kreig and Elysians get some stuff to diversify the guard range, maybe just about 4-5 kits each (kreig already basically have 4, just make death riders and the squadron leader plastic, so they just need something like Grenadiers, engineers or maybe a command squad, ideally a squad that could be built in 2-3 different forms with different loadouts. Elysians would need more, probably an officer, infantry squad, drop Sentinel, tauros and maybe the Valkyrie sky Tallon but that would be plenty to be able to run guard in unique and different ways.)

The problem is, for whatever the reason, loyalist space marines sell and sell at a pace far exceeding anything else. Ergo they get insane releases. Nobody else sells at their pace, though some things sell much higher than others (say, CSM or Eldar versus GSC) I think GW is more likely to try and sell people who don’t want space marines more unique armies with limited model ranges rather than invest too much support into a not very popular army. At least in theory the other armies might incentivize someone to try a second (third? Fourth?) army rather than say “nope I like just this one” but have other people not buying it because they’re not interested. I’m a huge TSons fan. I would love more models. I recognize that not everyone is drawn to the aesthetic though. So instead of wanting a huge range, I just want 1-2 more models. Especially because GW has made sure our range really only has 2-3 kits plus characters because they write the rules to make the rest undesirable even in casual. If the rules changed even just a bit (maybe in the form of codex Tzeentch like what they did in aos) and there was support for playing the rest of the range…

@@timunderbakke8756 marines sell for four basic reasons... 1. They're human (enough), so they function as a "relatable" power fantasy. 2. They're accessible (easy to buy, easy to paint) and widely marketed (literally 95% of all promotional material). 3. They get new stuff on a near monthly basis, so there's always something to purchase. 4. Have the most substantial number of "whale" consumers out of any faction. 2 and 4 are probably the most consequential points to consider. It's often overlooked by veterans of the hobby when discussing sales, but a big driver of marine sales are new players just getting into 40k. They buy some marines to "test the waters", but the majority lose interest and simply stop after their initial purchases. Combine that endless revolving door of new consumers with a pre-existing subset that will purchase literally anything, and it's not hard understand why GW dumps resources haphazardly into marines. This actually causes something of a self perpetuating problem - best exemplified by factions like the Dark Eldar. Factions get ignored - or culled - for excessive periods of time, which results in their sales being crippled due to lack of accessibility, like of interest, or lack of potential points of sale (ie veteran collectors already having what they want/need. This translates to a lack of sales, which in turn means GW avoids investment in the factor, thus compounding the issue.

Basically it was the guard effectively but you got to chose unique boons and some were locked to traitor or loyalists and that choice also locked out unit choices and allowed others(loyalist got +4 for everyone and strong lasguns, traitors got mutants and human wave tactics etc). I loved it because the army didn't need to be two separate armies, just one that was flexible for both. I would love to see like special detachment for guard that makes them traitors. Gives you access to a few chaos options. You know like detachments that really change the army, in meaningful ways, not this detachment only helps three units thing we have.

They could give the CSM codex a detachment specifically for Daemons that says "if Be'lakor is your Warlord you can take unlimited amounts of Daemons as allies (not capped at 25%) from the 4 Chaos God codexes". That way each Chaos God has their own army with both their dedicated Legion and their Daemons, as well as preserve the current Daemon Index (which is basically just Be'lakor with his underlings anyways) within the CSM codex.

Emperor's Children and Kroot at most. And Knights turned into allies only outside of Apocalypse. Existing armies finished transferring to plastic, then older models refreshed. Then add versatility to limited armies and ensure every popular subfaction gets support. Only after that should any new armies outside of EC/Kroot be added.

Its wild that people are waiting for a codex to play some of these armies - if you want to play dark mechanicum, exodites, traitor guard or death korps, you can do that *today*. I hate to sound like an old man, but back in my day if you wanted to run something weird lore-wise you found a faction that fit it, and ran with that. "But-" you say "-I want cool rules that are specific to my exact headcannon for those things!". What makes you think GW will do even a half decent job of that? They can barely scrape together a half dozen interesting army-wide special rules, do you really want to run the risk of them screwing the pooch on your favorite subfaction? This is pretty firmly monkey-paws all the way down - either you get to play an army that looks the way you want it to, or you end up being severely pigeonholed like LoV or Harlequins, with 5 units or fewer.

I've converted an army using Sisters rules but I'm astounded that such a fundamental part of the universe is relegated to a few supporting roles in other armies. Would be fun on the tabletop too, something along the lines of melee oriented Imperial Guard.

my expectations would be: 1. Agents of the Imperium (this summer because we already got the index, Coatez has been featured in the Arks and it doesn't need that much to make them playable, just access to some Imperial forces) 2. Emperors Children (we got Fulgrim, we are getting books this year, the hype is being build up and its about time) 3. Dark Mechanicum (probably 11th edition as the soonest possible date) 4. Traiter Guard, Lost and the Damned (its needed to represent one of the most common factions in the lore) After that I'd call it done. GW can't even support the current range (especially with all the redundant Primaris kits for every single weapon type). I rather see them put resources in keeping the current factions supported and updated instead of adding niche factions that just add noise to a already huge list of armies. We will can get subfactions like Chaos legions or Krieg in their respective codex and Kill Team offers options for special units like Fallen or something crazier.

GW shouldn't be adding a single new army until all of the current ones have been fully updated and brought into line first. Thousand Sons, World Eaters, Drukhari and Votann are the most immediate examples, with Craftworlds needing the rest of their aspect warriors and phoenix lords updating. I also think some codices need some serious streamlining (lookin' at you Space Marines) or to be ditched entirely (Some strong arguments have been made to simply fold Chaos Darmons into the other chaos codices, like how AoS does).

Then have a detachment for souping the daemons so folks who did invest heavily aren’t screwed and can play.

GW has some bigger issues that what to add: 1. Cannot supply existing models. It’s been literally years since the chaos war dog kit came out, and I have never ever had the opportunity to buy one. They sell out in seconds in the US because they only ship our entire country one or two boxes every 6 months. I am sure there are other examples, but when the literal battleline unit for an army is perpetually out of stock, that is a pretty serious example and not just a “oh it was the new hotness” like the blue scribes or some specific unit kit going OOS due to sudden rules based demand 2. GW needs to add a few more options to some of the smaller armies first. That said, GW is absolutely choosing option 3 “hey let’s make half an army and sell it! Then next edition we can sell the other half and do it again with next!”

Adding a bit crappy shooting and a melee system that works similar to their save characteristics. And flesh out the range with 4-5 models. Enough that they feel like you could play 500+ games with inly them.

Having said that I don't actually know what that means lol. Maybe a new robotic faction (a renewed Men of Iron probably) that takes on a much more Transformers/Terminator look compared to the Necrons necromancy undead one or the AdMech's body horror/steampunk look? I'm sure GW could do something really unique with the Hrud if they ever wanted to expand on them. Or fuck it, new chaos god with a brand new aesthetic. Maybe it was born in a different galaxy, maybe it came from the "deep warp", maybe it's the King in Yellow, or maybe it's the great horned rat, who knows. I'm open to the idea though.

I think adding a few "chaos" units for a branch for Ad-Mech players to theme their armies towards chaos if they really like that, would be an easy slam dunk. If people weren't buying the admech because they were too expensive and not specifically chaos, now they can, with the inclusion of a new subset of models and bam, you have more people buying those expensive kits, and all you had to do was add a few key dark mechanicum pieces to the line. I would recommend doing that via kill team and then transitioning in some new HQ models, and maybe a few upgrade sprues, or potentially just a new basic troop choice, add in some minimum required amount of chaos demons, and now you have a diverse range efficiently using your current chaos knights, your desire to sell HQs, and keeping the range from being a ridiculous challenge to keep in line with the current ad mech.

I think we can predict that Squats will keep getting new releases - likely becoming the Lumineth/Stormcast of 40k. I would like to see a Traitor Guard and Dark Mechancium codex though. I feel like their appearance in the Blackstone Fortress, the emergence of Vashtorr as a possible "Forge God" and the lack of Blood Pact in the new World Eaters codex all hints at these armies appearing in the near future. I suspect we'll see more of the Dark Mechancium once the Iron Warriors get their update, with Perturabo likely forming a pact with the faction to gain access to units and buffs - like how the Tau and Kroot work.
