I realised that although there are scripts for most of the major Xenos and some human groups, GW has never released a script for the Gothic language.

Wouldn't be cool if they did? You could inscribe all the Gothic sigils onto your units and buildings instead of plain boring English.

Just use poorly translated Latin like GW does. Make sure to use feminine articles for masculine nouns.

But Gothic isn't Latin. Latin just represents High Gothic and English represents Low Gothic.

Here you go.
The one and only Gothic alphabet. It even comes with a complete language:

Have fun inscribing Gothic letters on your units.

Yeah. What I mean is that its too familiar.

Well you could just do scribbly lines on paper and call that Imperial Gothic

but really I would also expect to be great variations in written text from sector to sector
