Tau? I kid. But seriously, they'd then just have to base their tech on the primal elements, yes? Since if they were actually made up of fire, air, earth or water they'd just be counted among Warp daemons.

Definitely Space Skaven. I know I'm going to make a 40k army of space skaven (with the dark eldar rules) later anyway!

I'd imagine something akin to a cross between guard and Grey Knights. Several different types of army you can go for:

Small in number but very powerful models army, consisting of assassins with many special rules, as well as super-mutated rat monsters with stats like a hive tyrant.

Horde army of loads of little rats, several special combat characters and huge warmachines (but more artillery than tanks).

A very steampunk feel with strong emphasis on their use of Warpstone to make their contraptions work.

Chaos Space Marines, The Skull Guard: 4500pts
Fists of Dorn: 1500pts
Wood Elves, Awakened of Spring: 3425pts

Water Caste is the diplomatic one, comprised mainly of Ethereals I believe. Earth Caste are the builders, sky is the navy, right? Fire caste is the military.

Anywhere worth being

The Interex would be a cool army.

Centaur-like combat armor, bows that shoot bolts of light, and automated drones with true AI.

I'd play 'em.

Every heretic that is crushed under our feet will be a testament to our undying loyalty to the citizens of Imperial Space.

Lots of troops with ornate laser rifles and armour like Vostroyian IG. And the Noble class have wings and power weapons. Led by Psykers carried around on Beautiful thrones calling down lightning and fire,or by centuries old Generals with an all access pass to the armoury.

Lots of artillary,like ornate cannons that shoot plasma blasts,or giant laser Bolt-Throwers,and Siege mortors and catapults that fire a varity of shells.
And some bigger guns mounted on Tank bodies.

Support weapons like mechanical Hydras and Chimeras that fire plasma bolts then assault them in CC.
