If Games Workshop was to make a compleatly new army what do you reckon it should be?
I dont have any idea. It would intrest me in what other people think a new army should be.

They should make some spin off of the Bretonians from WFB.

hmm... a lost human colony on the fringes of the galaxy that grew into an empire. Uses STC tech far more advanced than what the imperium currently has. also, feudal system.

yay.

Space Marines are pretty much knights in space.

Ad mech, but if not that some new Xenos; like Hrud. But only one that's already in the mess that the call a story. Otherwise they'll come up with some random crap in the other armies to push them in.

That new feudal colony thing... Briliant!

It's just Ad Mech with the feudal idea thrown in. You could model an Ad Mech army to look like that and it would be that idea.

i reckon they should do some thing about a rip in space and out comes future imperium there can be less of them but they can be more advanced

it would be cool but weird

Judging by the Imperium's affinity for technology, they'd actually be LESS advanced.

Damn, took the words right outta my mouth. QFT, cheese.

Mabye an army made entirley of monstrous creatures?

Demiurg (Squats) or an army that would be the antithesis of a current race. Tau are kinda the opposite of Tyranids, Orks and Eldar are sorta polarized. Marines vs CSM. Imperium vs Necrons. So what opposites can we devise?

dark eldar or chaos demons

Some sort of cephalopod, I hope.

I think you just described the Tau, but with less blue skin and foreheadginas.

No, he's describing space dwarves. I agree with him though, we need a squat army and badly. To challange them we need Space basketball players.

What, like the squats?

[inqisition breaks down door] noooooooooo

move along, nothing to see here

aaaaanyways I would like the Admech vassal knight/palidin army. Recruted from feral worlds piloting mini one man titans. OK so not compleatly new, but close enough. Or just admech period.

I'd like to see Barghesi as a new army. They could do a Grendl stars campaign with the Death Spectres holding off a Barghesi invasion. I've seen the army here that someone made but it just looks too Orky for me. I'd like to see a GW take on them.

Bargeshi are animals with no sentience they kill eachother on sight
The Death Spectres guard the GHOUL stars
although i agree with the last point, they were way too orky...

Yea, Ghoul Stars. that's the one (At work, no Codex available. Who the heck was guarding the Grendls? 'Iron' something. Stupid toss-in Chapters )

The beautiful thing about races like the Barghesi is that there isn't a whole lot about them. We really only get periodic glimpses into their existance. So there's a lot of open space for plot development. They could have evolved (Either naturally or through the intervention of Chaos or some other source) some sort of 'control creature' which would be a like a hyper intelligent form of Barghesi that leads it's followers through pheromones, whatever form of communication they use, etc...

My second choice would be the Loxatl. How hard would it be to model Lizardmen on all fours wearing harnesses with Flechette guns?

Where are my ZOATS, GW!?

Codex: Servants of chaos.

This includes:
-Renegade Guardsmen
-Renegade Ogryn
-Beastmen (40k style)
-Renegade Tanks
-Deamon tank ( a tank taken over by a deamon)
-Deamonhosts

I would only be interested in an admech knight army if the knight machines were normal heavy support choices and not superheavies. Make brettonian men at arms with lasguns and jetbike cavalry and it would be awesome.

They should do another marine variant codex. Maybe salamanders or space sharks. They could ride giant lizards or giant space sharks kinda like the new space woof codex.

Dark Eldar....................

Yea! Totally! GW should do nothing but Marine Variants. Oh wait...

The Terran March Madness Tournament! Basketball teams from around the galaxy come to compete in this ancient sport! For once! We sunder our differences and leave it all on the court! The quick and nimble Eldar show up, but the Space Marine striker teams are more than a match for them, being tall and strong centers, and having strong teamwork, some guys from way out on the fringe are here too! The Fire Team and the Water Team from the Tau empire. Of course the Imperium of man has some star players as well! Great passing and shooting win the day for them! Then there's the greenskin teams that rely on brute strength and ball control. There's an odd collection of robots in the far corner, and hey! Is that bug dribbling a basketball!?

Anyways yeah, we do need space basketball players

Only if it was sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads!

They should make a codex and plastics for the Skitarii legions of the Adeptus Mechanicus, the fluff is already there they just need rules! Either that or space pirates

the're one man, be more like all ironclads/dreadnought all the time with 2+ save 2 attacks (double strength or powerweapons guardmen and/or skitari as troops maybe somfink bigger as HS, jetpack dreads or terminator (guardmen) as FA or knights!
