Fajita Fan Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 (edited) I mean seriously, you tell me that spear and gauntlet are not from space! Even if their dinosaur mounts are just mechs and not flesh&blood it would be amazing. A giant mechanical t-rex like Grimlock tearing through marines or tyranids? Sign me up! Let's see Blizzard jack that too idea too for Starcraft 3...

Schurge Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 (edited) There is definitely a science fiction aesthetic for some of the Sigmar lizards. I support lizards in space if only because it will get my brother more interested in 40k over the specialist games.

BLACK BLŒ FLY Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 One of my issues with lizzies is I’d rather have a Cthulhu based faction with gigantic polar penguins . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schurge Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 The moment your Lovecraft inspired creation has actual Cthulhu-esque monsters that can be readily conceived as tabletop miniatures you've done it wrong.

Lord_Starscream Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 thematically they're the easiest to fit into the game (for Xenos factions), with tons of avenues to introduce them from, and tons of reasons to fight with all the other factions, be a threat, appear anywhere, ect. I also would like the idea of a new full xenos faction, independent of the others, if only because it might help the galaxy feel like less of a small place. apologist 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fajita Fan Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Now I want to add guns to my leftover WHFB lizardmen to make this anyway. If Kroot become an army (and that’s totally plausible given that Custodes and Harlequins get separate codices) could they get their own slave race of gun-toting lizards?

Red_Shift Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Hrud, Squats, Exodites, Q'orl. I would love it if they did a skirmish game with small bands/kill teams from lots of previously hinted factions. Call it something like 'the outer dark' and make it less imperium centric. Maybe a rogue trader band or mechanicus explorators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kristoff Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 (edited) We need space dinosaurs so badly. Maybe they should have weapons that look like ancient hybrids of Necrons and eldar... A little before I quit 40K due to the grand FAQ that ruined Independent Characters, I was working on an Army of the Old Ones fandex. They were patterned after the Lizardmen of WHFB 8th Edition quite strongly, but I gave them some armor and their weapons were patterned after Eldar and Ork equipment (the Krorks got the ideas from somewhere after all). Before I finished, 40K 8th Edition dropped, and I didn't have anything to reference (don't have the books, as I don't play it). Maybe with Battlescribe I can start looking in to writing it up again... I'd probably pattern the Hrud after the Skaven, but again, make it a pattern, not a 100% change over.

Marshal Reinhard Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 I would love to see Squats and more 40k versions of fantasy races as fully developed armies. I'd actually like to see that toned down. I like the fact that nids and tau don't have fantasy equivalents. That said, i like when stuff from the old 40k lore that's relatively 'unique' gets updated the most. Things like the zoat.

If they did do Old Ones, I'd want them to be reptiles, but I'd want them to be truly different from Lizardmen in AoS/Fantasy. Choose Monitor Lizards, choose Snakes, choose *something* that isn't Saurus Warriors and Frogs, lol. I think there is huge potential for something really unique that they could put together that's a nightmare. Because if it's the Grim Dark Future, of course the descendants of the progenitors of all species in the galaxy effectively, need to have become nightmares themselves as well. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rik Lightstar Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Enslavers, a variety of HQ and elite choices and then options to pull certain units from other armies, but they degrade rapidly when you lose the Enslavers. Rik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadlight Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 I would like to see demiurg and tarellians fleshed out among others. Could be like the talons codex, where you could run pure demiurg or pure tarellians or a combo of both and have them as allies/part of the tau empire. Come to think of it, you could chuck the human defectors, kroot and vespid in there too. Triszin, Doctor Perils and Kristoff 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because if it's the Grim Dark Future, of course the descendants of the progenitors of all species in the galaxy effectively, need to have become nightmares themselves as well. lol Well, I mostly was going there for three reasons: The Slaan used to be running around during the Rogue Trader days; The Lizardmen were servants of the Old Ones, which is why I went down that path for development; and Lizardmen models would be available to modify to bring in to 40K. But since they wouldn't be official, you'd get to pick what they looked like anyway. It was as much about providing a "good" organic army as well as recreating the Necrontyr's ancient foes which brought it around. I would like to see demiurg and tarellians fleshed out among others. Could be like the talons codex, where you could run pure demiurg or pure tarellians or a combo of both and have them as allies/part of the tau empire.

Chaeron Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 I really like the thought of Loxatl as aforementioned - their appearances in the Gaunt's Ghosts series were fresh, and even if things like these were 'new' options as mercenaries or similar for other armies (I'm thinking a 'Dogs of War' mechanic - either as individual units to complement an army's weakness or as a part of a rag-tag bunch to make up a whole army). I think there's probably plenty of scope to create something completely distinct and different though, and whilst I'd like to see that, I'd also be keen for further fleshing out where they might fit into the setting beyond appearances in say Blackstone Fortress or other specialist games.

Medjugorje Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 I dont read the whole discussion from the start but it could possibly have a new Black Templar release - at least a supplement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Perils Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Thought for possible Exodites: wouldn't it be cool if their "dinosaurs" were depicted with their feathers? It would harken back to the many examples of bird iconography of the craftworlds, while still being distinct and feeling more primitive. For a fully new Xenos species, I'd rather see a non-humanoid one, perhaps a kind of mechanical squid piloted by super intelligent shades of the colour blue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I_Am_IronSam Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 I would love a traitor guard... Its always bothered me that there isn't rules for them when they are one of the main and most numerous of enemies in the fluff... I did enjoy the Lost and the Damned rules from the Eye of Terror codex... World Eaters and Emperors Children should get books too... I would point out that I am a solid Loyalist to the Emperor and I want these factions so I can gun them down :) ...

Medjugorje Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 I would love to see Dark Mechanicum. I always wanted a release when I started in 2/3rd edition but when it cames out it has that awful disgusting Steampunk look instead of gothic hightech mix look. So I hope If Dark Mechanicum would be released it has more of this style then the original mechanicus themselve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarabando Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 i think a milita and cults list would be good with a the ability to align with Imperial, xenos, or chaos that would let you take one unit from another codex with some balance. coupled with a big old multipart milita kit thats just packed with bits like the old flagellant box.
