I don't know why but I feels somthings missing in 40k.

there are tons of races. But i think they should make a new race. I agree with you.

we dont need any new race there are a lot already

Can you be more specific about what you feel is missing? There may be a way to work in the angle you want with a faction of an existing race.

Theres just need to be a race we havn't seen before, thats all.

Spacenerds?

or a race already in the lore could be more fleshed out example Hruds

The Shapeshifters . The Hakrus.

Well considering that the races that have full armies: 8
Chaos Space Marines
Daemons
Orks
Tyranids
Tau
Necrons
Eldar
Dark Eldar

Space Marines variants the have a Codex: 5

Vanilla Marines
Blood Angels
Space Wolves
Dark Angels
Black Templar

I think you see where my train of thought is going.

I think an Adeptus Mechanicus Codex deserves to be made before any new race's, personally.

There are tons of races in the fluff.

Rather than making an entirely new one, I think they should elevate Hrud and give them a codex.

Here's an image of them even.

Seven, actually (eight if you count Forgeworld).

BA, BT, CSM, DA, GK, SM, SW

Yes, Chaos Space Marines are still Space Marines.

I still say that the Skaven should be in the 40K universe, rats with warp powered weapony, how cool would that be.
Warp flame cannon any one

Your hatred of all things Marine is well documented.

Do we need to be subjected to it at all times, even in threads that really aren't about Space Marines at all?!?

New race would be cool but i think all old codexs should be updated first

I could see how Hruds could be included into table top:

basic Hrud warrior: WS:0 BS:4 S:2 T:2 W:1 I:4 A:2 Ld:7 Av:6+ pts: 2 per model

Hrud rifle: 24" S:2 Ap:5 poisend wounds on 3+

the act as a massive swarm army
WS:0 they dont like CC look at fluff)

Special rules: Stealth, Move though cover

add some Hrud only special rules, war gear and there is the basic troops

Yes, Chaos Space Marines are still Space Marines.

In that case, you have to include Sisters of Battle. I mean, they have rhinos, bolters, power armor, and the same basic structure as Marines.

What? It's what your going by....

I think they should update all the old codices before they go on to more races, and if they are going to include a new one, they should get rid of the least played Spehss Mahren codex, so that they aren't over extending themselves anymore than they are right now.

... pan fo.

Do not be silly, I would never go by such an irrelevant comparison as that. I am going off of the lore of 40k. Chaos Space Marines are still Space Marines, as are Grey Knights (they're even considered their own chapter, chapter #666). Sisters, however, are humans, not Marines. They do not have any of the genetic enhancements and so are biologically incomparable, they have no direct link to the Horus Heresy (no, before you ask, the Sisters of Silence have nothing to do with the Sisters of Battle as of current fluff), and they are not an independent force like Space Marine chapters are (they are the military might and regulatory force of the Imperial Church).

I wonder if there's info on Hrud in Dark Heresy, hrm.

Ooooooh, your talking about fluff. My bad, I thought you were talking gameplay-wise.

Yes, the lore, which to me has always been the most interesting and fun part of 40k

The Hrud Fusil in Dark Heresy: Disciples of the Dark Gods makes me think that the Hrud would kinda be like Skaven. Warp-enhanced technology and all.

The Hrud Fusil would probably have the following stats:

R24", S5 AP4, Assault 1, Gets Hot!

It is described as basically a light plasma rifle, and its stats have the strength and armor penetration of a heavy bolter, but it has no rapid fire option, as well as the Overheats and Warp Weapon rules. I don't remember what the latter does, but the former is equivalent to Gets Hot! in Dark Heresy.

I think they should revive the Squats.
*ducks and the bullets wizz by*

What about Squa-*splat*

god it, I've been ninja'd.

For the briefest of moments I thought you were advocating Ninja Space Dwarves

Actually that makes me wonder if one reason they have been squashed is because of TLOS?

would be a nice cover advantage for them.

The Hrud were the Space Skaven once:

http://wh40k.lexicanum.de/wiki/Datei:Hrud.jpg

(had a rat tail).

They could still be it, without looking like rats.

Always wanted to see a Codex: Minor Alien Races, with contains 5+ of the existing alien races with small army Lists (1-2 HQ, 2-3 Trooptypes, 0-1 Elite and 1-2 Assualt or Heavy Support)

I think they're more interesting as they are (visually) than as space skaven, though they could still fulfill the same function.

We should get a new race, maybe a young fledgeling race on the edge of the galaxy, still kind of mysterious to the Imperium, different from anything we've seen so far, give them advanced technology to contrast against the ancient mystic tech of the Eldar and the technologically stagnant Imperium, maybe make them unique and something we've never seen before in that they have no Warp signature and no psykers...

Oh wait.

+1

the hrud could get a special rule where if a unit shoots at them the unit looses 1BS(look at the lore)

Double post

That nasty little distortion field that keeps the eye from focusing on them, yes.

Though I guess you could argue that things like helmet optics, drones, vehicle targeting systems, basically any method of aiming without using the naked eye wouldn't be affected by it.
