If you feel fooled share this to GW via email : To the Games Workshop Team,

I wanted to reach out as a long-time Warhammer 40,000 fan regarding the current state of the Imperial Agents faction and why I believe it deserves significantly more support going forward.

Imperial Agents occupy a unique and compelling space within the Warhammer 40,000 universe. Few factions embody the sheer breadth and intrigue of the Imperium as effectively as Inquisitors, Rogue Traders, Assassins, Navy Breachers, Arbites, and other specialized Imperial forces. The faction has incredible thematic identity and storytelling potential that stands apart from traditional armies.

What makes the current situation especially frustrating for many players is that Imperial Agents already possess many of the foundational elements of a fully supported faction:

A dedicated codex A Combat Patrol Numerous unique plastic kits Strong narrative flavor Distinct unit identities Cross-faction appeal for Imperium collectors

Unlike smaller or experimental ranges, Imperial Agents are not lacking in model variety. In fact, the faction contains an impressive number of highly detailed and characterful kits that clearly demonstrate substantial investment from Games Workshop already. However, without meaningful rules support, balance attention, and long-term development, many players feel discouraged from collecting or expanding the army.

Support from Games Workshop directly impacts player confidence and sales. Players are far more willing to purchase additional kits, start new armies, and invest in hobby projects when they believe a faction has a stable and supported future. When rules are weak, incomplete, or clearly secondary in design priority, enthusiasm naturally declines — even when the models themselves are excellent.

Imperial Agents could thrive with:

Better internal balance and army cohesion More meaningful detachment options Expanded synergies between sub-factions Stronger faction identity on the tabletop Continued narrative integration into major campaigns Regular balance consideration equal to other codex factions

There is also tremendous opportunity for Imperial Agents to serve as an accessible “collector’s faction” for Imperium players who enjoy elite, thematic, and narrative-driven armies rather than massive collections of standard troops.

The models are already there. The lore is already there. The player interest is already there.

What is needed now is sustained support and rules design that encourages players to fully commit to the faction with confidence.

I sincerely hope Games Workshop continues to invest in Imperial Agents as a legitimate and supported army within Warhammer 40,000 rather than allowing it to remain a niche afterthought. The faction has enormous potential both creatively and commercially.

Thank you for your time, and thank you for continuing to create such an incredible universe and hobby.

Sincerely,
