Tau already exist.

Why do people say this? It shows a blatant disregard for the actual fluff.

Ok, we get it. Tau vehicles are named after aquatic animals. Well, eldar vehicles are named after reptiles and reptile descendants. Clearly they're lizard people.

I would say update the 4th ed stuff before even thinking about it. After that, I had an idea for a psyker xenos race that I'd love to see in full army form. Their base stats would be grot-like and very weak individually, but operate under a psychic choir mechanic that increases their abilities and strengths based on the number of models in the units. Many of their abilities would be based around buffing or debuffing rather than raw firepower. I think it would play fairly unique to anything else out there, but would still work off of current concepts.

Personally I don't want any new races, especially if they start making GW death korpse or Elysians because that would suck! I think they should do up Tau, because they have no fantastic commanders and they army list is very restricted. They desperately need a new codex because they haven been done up since 2003! And I'm not even a Tau player!

Sounds like Coteaz with 6 full squads of psyker buddies in Chimeras backed up by some robots they control psychically (Nemisis DreadKnights) could be a filler until that happens (or doesn't) or you write a balanced fandex.

I was actually referring to the WMS comic "The Origin of Many Things"

Ewoks! For the win!

Hmmm probably Cultists (chaos and genestealer)

I'd like to see some stand alone chaos space marine codices. Like Codex: world eaters.

I think thebest thing for the game would be codex: release dates. That way maybe they can finish updating codexes before getting a new game edition.

I hope that GW doesn't release any "new" armies in this edition, they just need to man up and do chaos properly with renegades, heretics, mutants, separatists, cultists and even more stuff like that to make them a proper threat in the universe again.

Interex or technocracy too

No new races. Update CSM, Eldar, Black Templars and Tau.

This topic comes up a lot, and this is the only correct answer.

Cults need to return to the game. They're a huge part of the game fluff, and without a doubt the largest part of the fluff to not have their own codex army list. And they did in the past, so it's not a new race, just revitalizing an existing one.

The problem with a Codex full of Xenos mini lists is the lack of models and the cost associated with mass producing limited demand plastic kits.

mmm yeah a cultists codex options would be very cool.

but you really gotta update current codices and have everyone on ruffly the same sort of codex timeline, okay cool tau and sister are updated to 5th ed codex style, probably do the nids too (not sure who else is behind as much) then after a year or so of the new rules and codex updates for current armys..roll out a new army style like the cultists codex, this would add awesome depth with out pulling 1 codex out of sync with other ones (i.e this is a 6th ed codex and thats a 5th ed or a 4rth ed) you would just have all 5th ed codices with a 6th ed codex that can apply and modify all other codices to a 6th ed level equally if you so wished

*2005. Right on everything else about the Tau though.

I just wanna know how Chaos, Genestealer cults, and angry blue hippies work hand in hand in one codex. Maybe if the Codex: Cultists had 3 different armies? I missed out on 3rd and 4th edition so maybe that happened and I am just ignorant.

I'd like to see a race that we could identify as the "good guys"

Yes, I'm familiar with Grim and his cousin Dark. However, there is simply not a single race currently represented that, IMHO, deserves to run the galaxy.

I tend to play DE and 'crons, so it's not like I actually want to buy that race. Instead, I want to take joy in kicking the snot out of them.

It's just not as much fun enslaving and torturing a race that were already slaves to begin with.

Or, bring back the bloody kroot mercs army so i can run mine again :(
Was an amusing army to run until they killed it off.

It's not dead. I encourage the play of chapter approved armies in my games.

What I want: Nothing.

What I expect: Nothing.

Horay! GW delivers!

But really. We have plenty of factions. I would hate it if GW made codex: whatever while tau, eldar and chaos all sit around in obscurity.

Codex: Renegades and Heretics
For renegade guard/ non-marine humans

Codex: Ad Mech
That would be a cool all robot army, a sort of Imperial flavored Necrons.

IMHO there shouldnt be a new race GW has enough trouble keeping up with the races they have, what they should do is update all the present armies but allow for more customasation like in the codex SM allow the formation of your own chapter with its unique perks and drawbacks again, I say do the same thing with all the races now that would be cool. Have true customisation with all the armies no two Tyranid Hive Fleets ever being the same, no two Orc WAAGH being the same, you could build your own craftworld, necron dynasty, whatever ohh my goodness now that would be cool, people would have thier variety and not have to really worry about haveing to release a whole bunch of new models because it would be your personal mix of perks and drawbacks you have combined from the lists in your codex. Hey and honestly they wouldnt even have to redo all the codex for all the armies WD supplements could actually solve this.....Wow just writeing this has got me excited.

Ad mech or rebeliouse humans, that would be like a hord army

Codex Void Whales... already sent GW my personal suggestions. lol

But seriously I agree with alot of you, lets wait for GW to get there gak together with the codexs out right now before we come out with new ones.

Now we know who to blame if we see space whale minis being released.

Fix'd

I would like to see a CODEX: NEXT CODEX

Gonna parrot the majority here and say LatD and AdMech, but only after all the old stuff gets updated. Drop some SM chapters to make room in the schedule.

I really don't want to see anything totally new, though I wouldn't object if Genestealer Cult and Lost and the Damned-type armies were revived.

All I'm particularly keen to get from 6th Ed. is a better-written rules set and some better-balanced army lists.

I still think they should do a Mercs race like Malifaux or Warmachine. It is a bit mainstream and could give you some pretty scary combos but it might be fun.

Hmm. Tau?

Drop Daemons/Tau/Sisters of Battle to make room in the schedule. Less players becoming pissed off and it doesn't cut into the profit from the Space Marines.






Not that I believe in dropping any Codex, but I'm always amused when someone wants to drop a Space Marine Codex to make room for his/her preferred faction.
