In 2016 we got 2 new armies in the form of deathwatch and genestealer cult (I think). This seems to be a new thing and I'm pretty sure the trend will continue into 2017. What do you think the next army's released will be?[/color]

With fall of Cadia, gotta be something to do with that - maybe a Chaos Cult Army? I also wouldn't be surprised if we saw a new IG Codex, so maybe an offshoot to the Guard? An Arbite codex maybe?

I want my Kroot or Tau Auxiliaries codex GW. So badly.

Exodites are rumored. I'm not a super fan of them so if they are the next xenos army then I'll have to put them on the back burner for some far future time unless the models are super awesome.

Probably Adeptus Arbites since there has been talk about them in lore and out of. I might get them if they do them. It all depends on the models really.

Arbite codex or even a supplement would be nice. Really expected them to be included in the Imperial Agents book but no such luck. With the Fall of Cadia being the first big narrative of 2017, I'm expecting a new codex and new models focused on other guard units. For to long has the Cadian armies been the focus of the IG as they made up the brunt of the guard. With Cadia fallen, the IG will have to resort to relying on other armies. If we do get new IG models not modeled after Cadian troops, I hope it'll be a new army design and not a rehash of one of the previous we've seen from GW or FW.

rumor has it the next "new" army is a plastic sisters relaunch

To which I won't complain. I know we have the new model they released when they brought back the metal sister models and now there is the new St. Celestine model. Considering that I was just now finally able to order the resin sister because it was always out of stock, GW might actually have seen that there is indeed a demand and desire for sisters of battle to be warrant them making new ones.
