Can't be human.
Can't be an offshoot of the main xenos.
Can't be allied with the IoM any further than that of the Eldar or Tau.
Apart from that, what would you like to see as the next great Xenos Empire? Where would you put them? What would they look like? What would their culture be? What is their ethos?
The Hrud aren't allied with anyone and seem to play a role in 40k as the Imperium often has to divert military forces to deal with "Hrud Migrations". So, my vote is for the Hrud.

I'd like to see them not take 3 editions of the game to update the armies that they already have... or to change their design philosophy so that those updates aren't as necessary, before introducing any more armies into the mix.

If 40k receives the same treatment as Fantasy did after their new rule book, we should be getting somewhere in the neighborhood of 5 new codex within a year. So, Eldar, Tau, Dark Angels, Chaos Space Marines and someone else shouldn't have long to wait for a new codex.

Space fox ! No realy, I think 40k is fairly covered for races and is only realy short mutli limb sentiant or fur covered.
Troops using humans and orks :0 taking a similar stance to orks with looted vehicles and armor with genetics.
Stuff like big heads giving minor psychic power, bark skin for more armor, flowers for poison gas in close combat and all sorts of crazy upgrades.
Take a medical tank for heavy support with a long range weapon with a short range conversation weapon, when you kill a model on a 1 it blows up and give str 1 or 2 hit to all models in 1 inch, on a six it gets up as a zombie.
After all that I do think 40k has races coverd and why new races are always fun I think fitting them in is hard, but better than them putting out another space marine one.
So as Sovbot made me feal bad I thaght I would expand my thaghts.
40k allready has a wide variety of alians and placing a new one would be hard, as you allready have 2 that are close to human.
You have tyrannids for the completely alian and orks sorta in between.
You also allready have the robot race and the elder filling the magical tech race, both the kroot and the orks the brutal alians.
What from looking in 40k doesn't have is a fur coverd race, and canines are easy to put in as some alian but familiar, sorta like how avatar did the na'vi. It also doesn't have any race that does a lot with genetics, why I thaght of that and actuly broke the rule of no humans from the OP my bad :p
Using canines you can place alot into a pack mentality and still move them forward as a smart race why still leaving them familiar, they can also fit into the grim dark in both a sense of experimentation on other races and also for just likening to eat them if you wanted and all other sides of the dark side and still again leave them
Many of this could be used to place in other styles of races, but keeping them familure to us as humans but alian enough to make them separate was the goal of my thaghts.
Sorry about my English but I do hope you enjoy
Also both slan and skaven would both be in the category of furry

They should make a cheap race for people with out cash to learn the game on. 2 choices per FOC slots, and really budget prices so young and newbies can try the game without the 400$ or more investment. I have no idea what they would look like but it was just an idea i had. I should note that I have been up for 36 hours so that might explain some things.
Every Dakkanaught gets a 4+ Pinch of Salt save.
When you suffer a Falling Sky hit, roll a D6 - on a 4+ the hit is ignored as per the Pinch of Salt save. On a 1-3 panic insues - you automatically fail common sense tests for the next 2 weeks and get +7 to your negativity stat. -Praxiss
If they wanted to include more races, All they would really need to do is make models of some of the other client races of the Tau and make them auxiliaries like Kroot and Vespid. There already is a canine type one, as well as a lizard.
I like to say I have two armies: Necrons, and Imperium.....
Aquatic based race would be cool, with some neat suits with clear bubble dome helms. Maybe some neat amphibious tanks and transports and a freaking Kraken!
I don't make the rules, I just think them up and write them down.
Something that killed Tau to the last one. Otherwise, there are already enough armies in 40k.
btw lizardmen in spaaace that's kind of covered by Tyranids - GW said they were basicaly space dinosaurs, they learned to fiddle with DNA and wear insects for armour but still

Probably either the Hrud, which seem to essentially be space skaven, or the Demiurg, which are space dwarves that unlike squats, actually fit the atmosphere. Another possibility would be some sort of Vampire Counts stand in, as I feel that mechanically they could capitalize on an unused design space while not significantly pushing out other codexes (for example, Codex: Space Marines significantly pushed into DA's design space by allowing you to easily take Bikers as Troops, something that had previously made them unique among Power Armour armies).
