They're already adding Demiurg. Besides, this is about a whole new, unique race with a full background and rules, not some brief mention about how they were bribed by the blue hippies with a stash of dope.

Bhargesi! They are some random hyper-violent race which I found somewhere. They have about 3 planets, which is roughly the same as the Tau.

And the Tau hate continues, but this time, it's from people who have no idea what they're talking about.



Ad Mech is the most likely. They already exist, they have fluff, they have a military, they just need rules.

@Lokirfellheart-no, the Tau have 26 fully developed worlds and about 70 small outposts and allied worlds. Anyway, do you have anymore info on the Bhargesi, e.g. what their fighting style is, the aesthetic and whether they would be unique enough?

In case any of you missed it, here was my idea for a new race.

Allegedly. I support the idea but there's nothing concrete yet, aside from the Demiurg ships that have been in BFG for years.

Granted, but anyway, the rest of the post still stands, the only mention they'd get would be as a side show next to the Tau when they cover up their secret brainwa- Nothing bad happens to them. Ever. Their high casualty rates are purely coincidental. Now return to your labour.

How about a completely separate force of humans? Based off our current society, but far more futuristic and advanced; also possibly with some alien allies. They could inhabit the Ghoul Stars.

Just to make it interesting, they could have ships powerful enough to traverse space fast enough without traveling through the warp, like Necrons. Heh, if GW did do this, we might finally answer the Space Marine Vs Spartan question.

I'd like something with a lot of gimmicks... Like markerlights and combining fire prisms, only more structured and on army level... Perhaps different units that can combine their efforts to achieve something different.

I'd also like a race that can pull off traps, ambushes and the like... So a lot of infiltrators, scouts, perhaps hidden assets like cannons, mines, traps... It would be fun to play, though I guess it'd be a HELL to balance

A faction of higly advanced Humans...
We have the Imperium and Chaos. This would be perfect.

Fluffwise, this is a tactic the Tau use; it's just not reflected on the battlefield.

A lot of the army niches are filled pretty well.

Your basicly naming the witch hunters (sisters of battle)

maybe not lots of walkers but their tanks are cheap

They could do a Army thats like rebels/Insurgents that are like stealthy and good at ambushes and bombs so they would probably base them around Taliban. (All offense to Taliban) But the way i would do it is get a gaurdmen body and banshee's swords and wrist blades and glue that all toghter then with GS i would mould a cape and hood and like sash's that woud be quite cool.

You know, I saw this thing about a second human empire somewhere. They had dudes in power armor like sisters, had the had big auto guns instead of bolters.

A kinda pure stealthy force would be cool. I suppose they could use the Hrud and Umbra from Xenology for a basis. Though this wold create a VERY alien looking group of dewds.

I was picturing dudes with 3+ armor saves, BS4, and lasguns, so not quite Sisters. And Witch Hunters don't get especially cheap tanks, at least not compared to razorbacks or chimeras or whatever.

Yeah I know that, but I wanted an army that PLAYED like that... Most of the Tau gameplay afaik is quite simply "shoot at it until it dies and hope it doesn't reach melee". Not much in the fields of ambushes and traps and the only "stealthy" feature, army wide, is relying on cover, which is not what I was thinking about.

Aren't the Tau the "new" race? They've only been out for a few year now right?

It's around 10 years now

I would like them to make new codexs based on already existing forces before they come up with completely new stuff(like the Tau who showed up out of the blue)



the Ad Mech would be perfect. the fluff already exists, the astetic idea too.

all it would take would be a few months of miniature design.



I'll bet they would sell fantastically.

Design wise they'd probably rule, but I'm not totally sold on their novelty, gameplay wise...

No reason, they already have all the stereotypes covered.

Really? Damn...I feel so old. =/

How about a 'new' race that they already got rid of? I'd like to see the Squat again.

But for something that is totally different - how about a Cannabilistic Mongol Centaur race. The Troops would all have cavalry movement. Their CC weapons would be Klingon Batlifs and their ranged weapons could be extremely oversized and attached the the horse back.

Or how about they rip off the Thor movie and create the Frost Giants

Yes, because the Thor movie created the idea of jotuns.

Exactly. Anyone with a basic understanding of Norse Mythology would know it was Ymir.

Jeese, everyone is so touchy - I meant they could rip off the look.

I'd like to see a non-Imperium based human faction.

Prison ship that was launched from Terra in not too distant future, who created a small empire in a star system that nobody has seen for some reason?

It could be a lower-technology race.
