Think its about time we get a new race as I feel like the old races are becoming a bit stale even with the new releases just not enough new things to bother with
Also think they should redo alot of there old models as they are looking a bit dire now

Any one else thinking this way or am I just goin bit nutz ?

No thanks. There are too many codices to update as it is. There are too many MEQ varieties and with FW there are even more humans and another load of MEQ.

The focus should be on making the rules balanced and the models awesome. Another race would just be there for the sake of it.


Star Trek taught me so much. Like, how you should accept people, whether they be black, white, Klingon or even female...

Alternatively, give the Sisters of Battle a respectable new Codex.

There's not really that much they can add without just making a race up out of nothing. Tau worked, so the fanbase will tolerate it, but I feel like it's generally bad practice.

I'd be tempted to sell a kidney to get an Adeptus Mechanicus book published, but on the other hand the last thing I want is "Yet Another Imperial Codex". I guess there's always Hrud (space skaven pretty much).

Hrud aren't Skaven in sphess any more, they're Lovecraftian-esque monsters now. Do a Google image search and you'll see what I mean.

Sisters have a pretty competitive codex despite it being white dwarf. What's wrong with that? At least you have that and BT get nothing.

On topic, no more races, there's enough as is.

Sure the SoB codex is competitive, but a full-on codex would be nice for other reasons. Namely; lots of fluff, new units, synergy with this edition, easy accessibility and perhaps model updates.

But yeah, I can sympathise with the BT players.

Just wait a little while. FW is making the Adepticus Mechanicus army.

Personally I'd prefer to see diversification of the existing races.. there is a lot that isn't explored outside of IA books. For example:

All IG regiments are crammed into a single book that fails to capture the feel of any of them

Ork factions aren't really covered correctly, nice as the codex is, it just puts out generic 'ork' lists, I wanna see proper Kults of Speed/Snakebites (with Squigs and Cyboars!) or even proper Bad Moon lists with their crazy tellyporterz

Eldar Exodites aren't covered by anything, corsairs are cool though

And thats ignoring the fact that there are existing and beloved factions that have taken much too long to replace, as mentioned elsewhere.

I want a "Mercenaries and Xenos" Codex that gives you alternate species to use as allies, just give them the basics, an HQ, a troop, than either an elite/fast attack/heavy option. Let people mix and match the various units as long as they are all Xenos/Mercs/alternate units from existing races.

Rogue Trader Codex anyone?

Alright so what if I myself asked "If there was DEFINITELY going to be a new race/codex, what should it be?"

On the one hand I'd say that the Mechanicus would be the prime candidates for this, but there's a gakload of Imperial armies already. Can't think of any alternate choices that aren't fairly obscure, though.

I'd love if it's not another imperial "race", may be a Chaos xenos or something, since we got Chaos marines(Chaos + imperial), Chaos Daemons(well, Chaos), so may be some corrupted xenos could be fun?

There is no reason for another race/faction. We already have 16 playable armies as is. As has been mentioned further up the thread, GW needs to focus on updating decades old codeci & models.

High time the Iron Hands got their own book. Lots of tanks, crazy wargear, bionics, give GW a chance to flog those Iron Hands bitz packs. They have notably different organization and features from other Space Marines and they have known successor chapters so you're not just dedicating a whole codex to an individual chapter.

You can never have too many Marine codexes, right?

You must have missed them when they came out. I believe it's called C:SM and it has these things called Techmarines and Dreadnoughts.

No. We do not need any more Codices in 40k, it's just going to make the game more crowded.

The Squats are extinct, people. They were all eaten by Tyranids. They're dead and buried.

16 codexs and 8 are the same race technicaly 9 since choas space marines are still human

when you think about it there is only 7 races in 40k :

9 for human
1 deamon
2 eldar
1 ork
1 tau
1 nids
1 necron

9 For humans is excessive
ork are the biggest race and only have 1 down with the imperial dogs lol

we need vast more stuff for the xenos and a lot of replacement sculpts across the board only ones that dont need replaceing are dark eldar and prob grey knights the rest need a good revamp
