So the Lego thing is down to Legos company policy. Since the main scope of Warhammer 40K is primarily in a perpetual war, it goes against the Lego policy of not promoting war. [Edit] Ole Kirk Christiansen himself stated that contemporary weapons and military machines that could be easily linked to on going conflicts would not feature in his toy range as he didn’t want warfare to seem like child’s play.

My favorite piece of Warhammer merch I own, is the The Imperial Infantryman's Handbook. It is THE in-universe handbook that each guard is require to have on their person at all time. And it is such a fun read, as imperial propaganda is on full display at all times, downplaying how strong an orc is and how to "easily" dispatch a Tau warrior from range and such. I'd love more in-universe books like this. Pehaps a few chapters of the Codex Astartes? A short field manual for Comissars? Or maybe a book from a Xenos race, a runtheard writing down some orc fables and stories? My personal white whale would be the whole Gotrek and Felix series printed to look like the actual book Felix published in-universe printed by the Altdorf press. I love that series, and the older books are in desperate need of a reprint.

Halloween is around the corner, keep an eye out for the skull decorations. I've made my own servoskull with one of them, he looks pretty awesome and they're fairly easy to make!

The “Warboss” book box set came with an ork themed bumper sticker that said “MY UVVA TRUKK IZ A BOOMDAKKA SNAZZWAGON” so they’ve at least made one bumper sticker. It was in a limited edition release of a novel and is sold out, but it’s something.

Back when I used to watch the Twitch streams and they'd sometimes have some of the Licensing team on to preview upcoming merch, their response to suggestions for merch from Chat was always that they (GW) have to be approached by merch manufacturers to discuss licensing proposals. It doesn't matter how 'obvious' a merch idea is to us, someone needs to say to GW that they want to make it and then sign a deal with them.

I did look into this to start making merch. While the C&D is a possible, it seems the best way to make it big is the WH partner program. They take a small cut of sales to promote your stuff - you do all the R&D and manufacturing, and they just add it to the marketing. They dont push it though, its purely based on people already being there for modelling stuff

I work at a promo company with access to a laser printer, just last week I made myself a water bottle with a Warhammer meme on it to use at work. All of the clothing, puzzles, wallets and a quite a few other things you mentioned would be so easy to do even for a small promotional company. It’s sad they don’t put the effort in to make these ideas happen!

@@magnusmillerwilson You can slap together a huge lego board of buildings and streets for BattleTech Alpha Strike in no time flat and just really enjoy having some cool terrain to play on if you're not normally into the crafting side of things.

Something I've noticed is that there are very few themed tape measurers for tabletop gaming in general! It'd be a great opportunity for hobbyists to express their love for a faction by making themed tape measurers.

As a massive Blood Bowl fan, I would love branded merch like a spikey football, trophies, foam hands, caps, scarves, mugs, helmets, coasters, and football jackets. They would make such great prize support too for tournaments.

I'd like a magazine with all the starships (like the Star Trek Starships Collection). Prepainted metal starships that you can even use to play Battlefleet Gothic 2.

When you said there were obvious boardgames the first one that jumped to mind was Hungry Hungry Heretics.

I believe in the 40K lore, they have their own game like chess called Regicide. They could just make an actual physical copy of the game they've described in their novels. Some companies have also branched into fantasy-branded coffee. Why not have GW do the same thing and make bags of Recaff available to sell.

For someone who doesn't have a studio rn, you made quite a freakin cool video dude !

A version of Ticket to Ride called Warrant of Trade where instead of routes across continents, you ply your way across the Galaxy, with some routes needing certain goods or resources (the coloured cards), and others representing the perils of the warp (tunnels and ferries). So instead of a long route from Madrid to Constantinople, you have to get from Necromunda to Macragge. Hell, I might make this for myself...

It's all fun and games with the little jedi costume until anakin walks in

'It's a classic solitary relaxing pastime and you can even get the family involved too.' Fnurg! Yarf!

A funny idea I thought of (maybe someone else has thought of it before) is a space marine drop pod stress ball. A drop pod you can spike like a football and it won't shatter into pieces.

7:28 How to give a whole different meaning to the expression: "I smell heresy".

I have a great idea. What about window screens. Those acordian shades you put in the front window of your car when you park. The new leviathan box cover would look great in the front window of my car. Nothing like seeing a terminator tyranid face staring out of your parked car!

I know bandai are a competitor but they've made action figures before with them so it'd be soo cool to have a hg gunpla range of tau and imperial nights.

Guy to Hattie : I'm going to sit in this comfy chair and make a video about toys and stuff that i'd like GW to make. Whilst i'm doing that, could you just take apart the studio please? Thanks.

completely agree Guy. One of the things I wish they did was trophies. It would be cool to have a set of trophies for tournaments, leagues and campaigns at clubs and between friends

The bags, and backpacks, seem to be the best idea in this video. Thanks for sharing. 😊😊

I actually suggest 40K Nerf guns during a livestream with the Products Dept during the early part of lockdown and he was very taken with the idea so you never know, something might already be in the works, remember, these products (especially toys) can take years of design and testing before we see them. Oh, and Guyver... my first, and favourite, anime series. I even sat through the less than brilliant US movie versions. Would love to see a modern revival.

Purity seal fridge magnets would be fantastic. I need to stick that to my fridge, my car, my dishwasher... everything.

A Nurgle themed version of the game _Plague Inc._ would be neat😎

For board games there’s two that come to mind, Godzilla Tokyo clash a deck based mini fighting game would fit perfect in the 40k setting and who wouldn’t love to see Godzilla and a titan or even a ork gargant fighting, the second is one is unmatched another deck based mini fighter would be perfect as they did crossovers with marvel

All of these are fantastic options. My personal favorite are Nerf bolters because I can just imagine the in-home Nerf battles with my kids. My son recently picked Blood Angels as his army. Best of luck with the move!

I sent an email to GW recently asking them to consider creating GW themed rubber ducks :)

Hmm... some others I can think of off the bat: - Tyrannid Infested World themed Ant Farms (or, Hive City themed ant farms) - Lasgun themed Laser Tag sets - Larger scale model kits (on par with other scale models, for example a 1/35 scale Squad or Marines and a Rhino) - 40K Themed Computer cases - Drones... there's plenty of flyers in 40K, how many people would buy up a tri-copter Valkyrie? - Furniture... What guy wouldn't love to have a literal Skull Throne? Or how many would like a desk themed to look like something from a planetary governor? - Working Firearm accessories (a bit controversial I know, but do remember that many people do use these things for sport, and this is the target demographic). From Imperial Guard holosights, to Tau-themed scopes, and maybe even themed holsters and pouches. - "Working" Xenos weapons. Akin to a Light Saber, how many would find it cool to have a Tau Pulse Rifle or Carbine? Or how about a Gauss Flayer? Or a Eldar Shuriken Catapult? - Airsoft AEGs... the sheer number of possibilities here are endless. Both in terms or Imperial weapons and Xenos. - "Bio Samples". Basically a form of paperweight, you could have things like the tooth from a Hormigant or the tooth from an Ork suspended in acrylic, and all inside a case themed around and Order Xenos containment vessel. - An Apothecary Medical kit (chainfist sold separately). I know it gets into the realm of what Guy talked about with bags, but who here wouldn't want a first-aid kit themed around the ones issued to the Astartes or the Militarum? Especially around our hobby area... - Getting into Cosplay territory... how about an actual Kasrkin respirator? A lot of people do work with resin and spray paint in this hobby... who wouldn't want to look like a badass while doing it? Those are just a few ideas I can come up with. Some might not go over well, but I think the others would do well.

I love that on the Warlord titan print you have Steve's knight in the background!! such a cool detail

We NEED to have a cute little centurion plushie

These are great ideas! Especially I think puzzles, bumper stickers, chess and Nerf because the overheads for them are so low. And as for the others it's a shame GW hasn't jumped at these opportunities because 3rd parties who make these products for GW absolutely would. It's free real estate. Look forward to seeing the new workspace Guy(s)! And Salamanders is sure to be a great watch!

yeah, i think having the logo on there probably got mixed up with "name brand" stuff at some point. By that i mean merchandise people saw people were buying pants that simply had a logo on it saying a name for a 100 dollars so they thought that is what people wanted and that is why it is so prevalent. That is the only reason i can think of for cheap merchandise like that other than the cheapness i guess. just having a logo and nothing special is just lame merchandise imo.

Man I’d kill for some warhammer dresses, they’d go great with my custom warhammer heels. I will say one thing I think they could do is earrings. I’ve made a few extra minis into earrings and I get comments on them almost every time I wear them.

Purity seals everywhere! Fridge magnets, pins and stickers.

Wearable suits of space marine armour would be amazing

"Heresy" is a fantastic name for a bottle of scent. On the board game front, how about "Cluedo: Eisenhorn Edition"?

For board games i really want a 40k trivial pursuit

As a Space Balls fan, I raise... 40k the FLAMETHROWER

"Honk for Heresy" don't know why I found that so funny, nearly spat out my pot noodle....

With a Warhammer 40k movie or TV series in the works, with everyone's favourite Witcher, it feels ever so slightly more possible that we could see Lego space marines.

A Grimaldus Statue.... I would spend lots of money on that.

I d love to wear warhammer themed earrings / piercing , just imagine having like chaos insignia hanging from your ears

Mega blok would be a much better bet than Lego they'd be more open to it and they already have a lot of parts that fit the setting that they can just reuse. Also I love the Guyver! I'm very happy that you are aware of it as well.

Bedsheets- and I’m not talking about the silly pillow cases either. I want the DoW:DC cover art as a comforter.

Problem with the large sculptures, it would probably be made by Forged World. "Why do the laurels on my Roboute Guilliman sculpt make it look like he has 60's sideburns?" 🤣

Have you seen those little kids riding in mini cars, and thought: Wow those are cool? I hope by the time I have kids they can be riding in a Land Raider.

One thing I can think of that I feel a lot of people in the fanbase would need... Eye glass frames. If I can get a nice pair of green frames with a dark angel insignia etched on the sides, I'd buy them in a heartbeat.

A Dreadnought plushie to sleep with? "Even in bed I still snuggle"

This was quite a list! Thanks Guy!

Let’s get some Helmets! Not just different Space Marine Helmets, but also Cadian Helmets, Custodes Helmets, Ork Buckets. I think that’d be really cool.

Loved the video and i hope GW listens to your suggestions (so they can earn from other markets than minis and lower the prices perhaps) when you said perfumes i thought "why not snacks? Cutlery and tools for cooking, put some irony (pun intended) in this grimdark future" the wildest flavours exist (pufferfish, gentleman's parts, hallucinogenic mushrooms) why not Corpstarch?

YES on the women's clothing and fragrances as well as the replica weapons! I was so disappointed to learn those leggings and dresses were discontinued, as I didn’t learn they existed until after they were no longer being made. And Warhammer perfume names would probably all be funny responses to "You smell nice- is that a new perfume you're wearing?" As for the replica weapons, i just think a power sword would look nice on my wall.

Personally, I think it would be hilarious if GW partnered with Hummer and they came out with a literal Rhino.

I have several of the knock-off Lego space marine mini-figures from the White Scars, Imperial Fists, Dark Angel and Ultramarine legions/chapters, and I love them. They come with a cool variety of weapons (bolters, heavy bolters, plasma guns, chain swords, etc.). Lots of fun.

Regarding plushies: if a cuddly, adorable Centurion is good enough for the TTS Emperor to snuggle with, then it's good enough for me.

was painting a titanicus knight porphirion whilst watching this and went crazy when I saw that titan art

Imagine a trazyn's gallery display piece. Or and Imotekh one.

It is absolutely mind-boggling that we haven't had an actual 40k movie or series yet, animated or otherwise. 40k is such a rich and deep setting, I can't imagine it would be that challenging to create a grounded, well-written story in the setting even without involving the more edgelord-grimdark aspects of the setting.
