Ghouls. :p

I don't want to see any more races added to 40k as full-codex factions. I'd like to know more about a lot of species that get little more than passing mentions (like the khrave) but the game itself doesn't need any more playable races imho. More fluff for background xenos would really make my day though.

Did you know? The Reach belongs to the Forsworn.

Maybe these already exist? If they do, can you point me to them?


C'tan are made of energy, but housed in living metal bodies.

Also, it's practically impossible to actually sculpt these as models for a tabletop game.

WRONG



See, it would actually be easy to make those sculpts.

I wouldn't want any more main-codex races. There already are wayyyy too many options for GW and us, and some really need upgrades before more races get added.

NOW what I would like is some "minor" xenos races added to a main-codex. Like, maybe something added to the Tau update whenever it happens since the Tau are the only race I can think of that would readily accept new races outside slaves.

Perhaps an army of Space Ogres? I know there's IG Ogryns but they don't really do the trick. Just imagine giant, hulking, huge-gun toting evil maniacs! (and possibly chaos-worshipping)

Isn't Mantic currently doing a line of, essentially, Space Skaven? The models look really nice and I'd love to see a fandex made to incorporate these into 40k. So overall my vote would be Skaven for something new.

I do agree however that I'd prefer to see some faster movement on the updated codices front instead. I really want to get into Eldar but the rumors of a new codex in the near future are keeping me running with my chaos and I really just don't have the love for them anymore.

This line of reasoning broke 7th edition in Fantasy. The books should be as equal as possible, even a theoretical "Codex: Squirrels with Crustacean allies" should have a fair chance to beat "Codex: God".

- Cost? FW models cost more? Because Thudd guns are more expensive than Wraithknights and Riptides. Nope, not a good argument. This is an expensive game. We play it knowing that, and also knowing that, realistically, it's cheaper than hookers and blow.

I vote Cyborg!

Failing that, I know the OP said no humans, but face it...

Cyborgs? We already have Terminator knock-offs.
