Hello, pretty simple question.... what new 40k army would you like GW to introduce?

Mine I would have to say Adaptus Mechanicus.

qsd · June 29th, 2008, 20:37

I'd like to see the AdMech also.
My second is the Alienhunters/Ordo Xenos.

I was never a big fan of the Adeptus Mechanicus, myself. Ancient, crazed, insular cyborgs get a bit samey after a while! Of course, they're great (fluff-wise) as an addition to the Guard.

To be honest, I'd quite like to see something new and not just a variant on an existing race or a natural follow-through from WHFB.

The Hrud have potential to be just that, though they also have the potential to be a crap follow-through of the Skaven. I think that if anything new were to be introduced, GW would have to spend an awful lot of time finding it a place in the fluff and making a well thought out and playable army.

Of course, as someone who is STILL waiting for Codex: Inquisition, I'd rather they got that sorted before bringing in anything new!

Something completely new, like fishpeople or Zoats that are actually good models.

the squats Mk2! or adeptus mechanicus. they would be an imperial side i wouldn't hate to the ends of terra.

What exactly are the Alien Hunters? and why do they have a strategy rating in the rulebook?

Malignant_one · June 29th, 2008, 21:05

A rogue trader mercenary/security force. Think the IG, just with the basic troopers having more big-boys toys to play with, but less tanks.
'Least that way you can have a human army, but can give them limited alien tech to play with, and maybe even a return of the old imperial robots from way back when.

... Or squats. They were neat-o.

Commissar Grimsson · June 29th, 2008, 21:26

yea but when fluffwise a whole people have been massacred the whole come back idea just aint likely. In reference to the squats.

I would like to see something that was Necrontyr like, but was like the 'good' version. I mean i know we have the CSM and SM, the Eldar and the DE. But these guys would be totally anti-Necron, fluffwise. Because nobody would by an army that can only fight necron.

Something that is not humanoid.

Anot not Imperial. God damn, we don't need more Imperials (a third of all armies are Imperial now...).

The Alienhunters are the third ordo of the Inquisition. The Ordo Malleus (Daemonhunters) hunt Daemons. The Ordo Hereticus (Witchhunters) hunt Heretics. The Ordo Xenos (Alienhunters) hunt aliens.

Their chamber militant are the Deathwatch Chapter Space Marines.

PM me if you'd like me to tell you more!
