Skaorn Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 GW is promising more Factions and new stuff always interests me so I'm hoping to avoid armies you could easily pull off in previous codexes and fairly well established like the World Eaters or Emperors Children. Old one offs like Zoats, Kroot Mercs, or Exodites are good though. I'd personally love to see the Tau get a number of allied Factions to rival the Imperium and a few new big Xenos armies, like the Khrave (brain eating aliens that were problems going back to the GC). I also would kind of like a mutant faction you could tack on to IG or Chaos. You hear plenty about how mutants are bad but in the game you only really get Ogren and Ratlings. I think it would be nice to actually have types of mutants that the Imperium wants to kill on sight. What would you like to see? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shockmaster Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Rak'Gol Eldar Exodites More Tau Empire allied races Rogue Trader All of those would seriously tempt me in to starting a new army. walter h 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Servant of Dante Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 About the Ecclesiarchy, the only things you're really missing are frateris militia (cultists, but for the Emperor) and maybe Crimson Guard (they're basically just crusaders that guard Cardinals). Maybe a bit more for Death Cults and Crusaders, some options for Arco-Flagellants, and a couple kinds of priests. The Decree Passive kinda keeps there from being too much. The Frateris Militia isn't even a standing army anymore, it's just whoever shows up when the local priest calls the people to arms. And the Sisters are, of course part of the Ecclesiarchy. On topic: is like to see Exodites, and I think more nasty mutants to fight and tau allies sounds neat. And Demurig, because space dwarves. walter h and Shinespider 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agatone Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Adeptus Arbites and Rogue Traders would be fine. Never too much humanity struggling for survival. If GW would create a high-tech HUMAN faction, that would be fine as well. I know that may be the Tau's claim to fame, but a small elite lost Imperial group would be a nice fixture in these dark times. walter h 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slave to Darkness Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Squats. Squats and Squats. More (non humanoid) Xenos races, some gribbly stuff from the Ghoulstars. walter h and Lexington 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schlitzaf Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Honestly? A functional Kroot Army. And for R&H to become part of the main game. Or for Chaos to have an option similar to Brood Brothers. Additionally for Tau to gain access to FauxGaurd as well (Gue'vesa). Through if that becomes a common thing I would like to see it limited to units that have an undefined regimental keyword. With the Auxillary (and lesser extent Scion) staying Imperium only. Through above all a functional Kroot Army (or at least a Kroot HQ) walter h and reckoning 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wargamer Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Gimmie a D!"D!" ... that's not even remotely - never mind. Demiurg is the list I'd like to see. Frater Cornelius 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsovitt Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Arbites and Dark Mechanicus. But would also like to see more stuff for the Adeptus Mechanicus - Transports/ additional HQs etc. And would like to see them update some of the older model ranges before releasing whole new xenos factions... walter h 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Commander Ajax Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 After seeing the models in the Triumvirate of Ynnead box I'd definitely like to see the Ynnari expanded upon. Thankfully there fluff has also been bearable so far. I'd really like to see some new Guard factions too. lordhellblade 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skaorn Posted July 24, 2017 Author Share Posted July 24, 2017 After watching the Netflix Castlevania (which is kind of amazing just for being based of a video game but was still good), I kind of want to see a human faction of Daemon hunters that don't go for the religious bs of the Imperium. Of course I'm one for doing things like building off that Ork clan that actually does mercenary work and seeing what a more intelligent, technically savvy, and "civilized" group of Orks might look like. Also the Gretchen Liberation Army. What would be good addons for Orks and Necrons though? The the only things I could come up with would be something like humans infected with Ork spores becoming some type of mutant half orc. With the Necrons going the necromancy route and reanimating the dead only with nanites. I suppose you could have a lord trying to recreate their organic bodies too. None of these options really grab me though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felix Antipodes Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Rogue Traders, Exodites and Demiurg would all be nice additions. I also like the idea of whatever is being held back in the Ghoul Stars (and any other similar region with its own guard force) finally getting off the leash during the craziness and confusion of the current fluff. walter h 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully there fluff has also been bearable so far. I'd really like to see some new Guard factions too. With the recent trimming of some of the more well known regiments in the new fluff (Cadians, Mordian) I'm getting a feeling that they might be planning some new poster boys for Astra Militarum.

Crimson Ghost IX Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 I would really like them to get the existing armies all out and fun to play before distracting to new things. That said. I have always liked the idea of Hrud. Especially the space skaven stuff. Kelborn, walter h, Felix Antipodes and 1 other 4 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuskRaider Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Renegade Militia proper, FW kind of neglected them with the edition change. Definitely Dark Mechanicus. I'd like to see the different Ork Klans get rules, they each function very differently. Honestly, I'd be happy to just have my Death Guard rules right now.

Paradigm Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 It is rumored the Ghoul Stars may yet be home to a pocket empire of renegade Raven Guard legion exiles, assuming they've survived to the present. Though the Khrave and other dangers seem to lurk there as well, and we have no fluff on them taking place after the scouring. I'd like to see Dark Mech fleshed out, I'd also really like more tau sub races. Orky Humans are Diggas, I have an old Digga Nob model floating around. They're people who've had their world taken over by Orks and they adopt Ork culture either on purpose, or because theirs is wiped out. Hrud would be really, really cool.

Tyberos the Red Wake Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 R A K ' G O L AK'GOL It's another xenos faction so we don't get "even more Imperials", they will be the only non-bipedal race besides Tyranids, they will have multiple arms yet with far more weapon options than Tyranids or GSC, and they'll have lots of unique wargear due to their love of radiation. They are also a Warp-based race like Skaven, but they aren't Chaos-aligned, giving us another avenue for a Warp-based army. Only roadblock I can see is lack of any real variety (just different a bunch of Rak'Gol) and that they seem to be an FFG related IP. bluntblade 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xwingt65 Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 New and new... I think we will see a Sisters army his time around. And a bloody fantastic one. Maybe some more Tau races, now that they seem to have mined the powersuit angle. Dark Mechanicus maybe. An agents of the imperium faction. For the Assassins, and Inquisition, Rogue Trader stuff. lordhellblade 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sothalor Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Wasn't there an image floating around out there of a Slaanesh symbol superimposed/combined with an Eldar rune? A long time ago, I remember reading that there were supposedly exceptionally rare "Chaos Eldar" in the Eye, ones who had embraced Chaos come the Fall and were some of the most horrifically powerful Chaos Champions. There's an upcoming novel about the Ynnari getting a message from some "long-lost Craftworld" that has recently "emerged from its sanctuary in the warp," and the blurb on the BL page is about as subtle as an Ork alarm clock with the "these guys aren't to be trusted" vibes. So... Chaos Eldar, anyone? The association between Slaanesh and the Eldar is certainly the obvious one, but I wonder... if an Eldar were for whatever reason willing to embrace Chaos, might they turn to one of the other three Ruinous Powers in an attempt to stave off Slaanesh's hold over them? Basically, sign their soul over to another patron power in the (perhaps vain) hope of escaping the Doom of the Eldar. lordhellblade 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corswain Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 I wanna see proper faction treatment with rules and models for the "classic" Guard Regiments and Ork Clans. Plastic Steel Legion? Yes please!

Skaorn Posted July 24, 2017 Author Share Posted July 24, 2017 Only roadblock I can see is lack of any real variety (just different a bunch of Rak'Gol) and that they seem to be an FFG related IP. Star Wars has Rakghouls which might also be enough to scare GW away. While very different, the similar name might just be enough to keep them from wanting the legal scrutiny of Disney.

Calyptra Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Once upon a time, each of the Ork Clans had its own army list and model range. I'd really like to see that again. Seriously, there are a lot more differences between Bad Moons and Death Skulls than what color they paint their armor. Bad Moons are supposed to be rich. And often fat. Where are my fat Bad Moons? Imperial Guard who aren't Cadians or Catachans need some love. Rogue Traders. More Kroot, and more non-Tau races from the Tau Empire. Squats. I don't expect them to retcon the destruction of the Home Worlds, but lots of Squats were elsewhere in the Imperium when that happened. Detachments of bitter veteran Squat Tyranid hunters would be awesome. Zoats, because they're renegade Tyranids. I don't know about you, but I think the phrase "renegade Tyranids" is incredibly compelling. Enslavers. Oh yeah, and the Hrud! We deserve to know more about the Hrud.

Triszin Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 I want Tau auxiliaries fully fleshed out. I Want want 1 kroot vehicle, and kroot units. I want Human auxillaries with a devil fish transport option and similar to genestealer imperial armor loadouts. I want vespid brood mothers, I want dog men, and other weird species. I also want Auxiliary suits, Kroot stalker suits for abduction, hunting characters, Vespid suits for area of effect enemy suppression, I want humans to be able to use flightless crisis suits. Basically I want stuff for every speicis in the tau empire except the tau themselves right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
