Initially whatever GW make in AOS Style. Perhaps a combination of both, as they already suggest visually.

As far as other companies. Maybe something more affordable, perhaps Japanese styled, robot looking. Or just another Gothic SciFi. Something not yet made.If bandi do their own game, I could see it having global appeal. Battletech, but at a squad level, precoloured easy to assemble plastics. Perhaps gundam, think of the scaled mecha!!

50K, or course, due to inflation.

Warhammer 80,000, it's twice as cool.

Sage of Igmar?

Something were you won't be able to use your current models is my guess.

I doubt they need to redo 40k AOS style because they pretty much are the initiators of the miniature ranges.

Warhammer Fantasy had too much common ground with other stuff that they decided to put it in its own completely separate (and copyright lawyer vetted) niche so as to remove all links to Tolkien, Moorcock, 2000AD etc …

(yes I'm aware that 40K is equally derivative, but they have gone through at least one iteration of modification so getting anything to stick in court is going to take time and money, more than worth the hassle)

Hopefully something with a bit more informational and viral warfare (viral in multiple contexts!), and far greater use of autonomous AI drones!

On edit: I think I just voted for Infinity :-)

I guess that could work if you replace any magic/psy stuff with technologically based things. Basically like spells or such. Tech heads in place of wizards.

Videogames

There are many people, especially these days, that spend much of their working day in front of a screen (no, not just window installers…Just noticed the pun, doh) and want to avoid computers in their off time.

So, no, not videogames.

The current timeline of 40k is set in M42, so it technically already is 41k.

"Special K".

In the grim darkness of the far future there is only breakfast. The universe is overrun by vast armies of homicidal cereal flakes. The Emperor of Milk is humanity's only hope.
