Tau basically.

But I think that if the IoM could be reformed into the Empire of man (Just a way to differentiate it) that was more tolerant of xenos, then human-Eldar strike forces supplied with pulse rifle would rape pretty hard. Imagine, all the guardsmen with pulse rifles...

But on a less...special...note, I think the Tau SHOULD win, but can't. Maybe if their fourth sphere expansion takes 5,000 worlds and suddenly all fire warriors have XV9s and kroot start wearing armour and Tau start breeding like rabits and all of a sudden have numbers similar to the IG they would have a chance, but that's not going to happen.

Just because you should win, doesn't mean you will

Do not worry, it will not come to that, GW board really believe in the God Emperor and they would never approve such thing.
Matt Ward also believe in god Emperor.

I think that GW should forward the story along a bit, have emperor die and be reincarnated and have a 5-10 year period of imperium getting owned, then release another edition where emperor is grown up and pwns chaos for a while and then another 5-10 years later, release another edition where it hits the fan and the main tyranid force arives, all necron tomb worlds activate, all orks unite in a big waaaaaggghh, and when it looks bad, bring in more human help from outside the galaxy!?! upon reading this, it sounds foolish, but my point is that I think the story should move on a little, i realize that people like the stalemateish state the galaxy is in now, but that can be kept and still push story forward

Lol, that isn't moving the plot on a little, that's accelerating it to light speed and holding on tight. Not that I disaprove, I would love them to actually advance the story, but then the name "Warhammer 40,000" will become a tad obsolete if the next few editions are set in 41,000...

also, i cant believe tau are 2nd place in this poll, although they probably do have the most ethical ideals by today's standards,but they have yet to deal with a population size or territory size or even problems that the imperium has, we shall see how ethical they are if they ever reach that point

i think that orks and the races of 40k should develop a tabletop wargame called 80k and play that in their free time, wouldnt want to play orks, or dark eldar, or chaos, or marines, or tyranid, or necron, because they'd probably kill me if i lost, and definitely kill me if i won

And go back in time 36800 years?

Assuming you meant millenium, yes they could rename it to something like that, but I think it's more likely that they'd just let the storyline stagnate.

Ye i guess your right :( but it might be interesting to open up a time rift from the 40k universe and have a spin off game of a different timezone with a completely altered background that extends from the existing story.

Well, IIRC an Ork has already opened a rift in time so he could go back in time and kill himself so he could have 2 of his custom made weapon. So time travel is theoretically possible...

lol ye I doubt they would ever take that storyline idea in order to make the spin off series, even if it would be awsome and more money for games workshop, as they could make different model types a another new rulebook for the spin off

Hah funny guys but also you missed out that the codexs are being released chapter at a time as a week by week magazine that's only £39.99 per issue. also the paints are water colours and the brushes are only being sold as single brissle brushes.
