I've been following the 40k universe for a number of years and have recently gotten into the game itself with the release of Black Reach. I find I enjoy painting and modeling, but the game itself escapes me. The basic elements of maneuver/get shot fail to live up to the strength of the fluff when I'm actually there throwing the dice. As a preamble, this isn't me ragging on the game, as I know it delights thousands the world over. This is simply me not being able to connect with it myself in my own conceptual space.
With that in mind I've been asking the question of how I would alter the game to better fit my expectations. What is it that I feel is missing. I'll be posting my own alterations as I think of them, but what about you? What changes, sweeping mind you, tweaks are for another thread, would you make to make 40k live and breath as the game you imagine it to be?
Of note, balance doesn't apply at this time, these are blue sky imaginings. Balance comes later, should any of these concepts prove exciting enough to examine further!
