Skaven in space!

**Blackhair Duckshape**

Some Xenos nonsense.

I'd love to see a race of monstrous creatures.

NIdzilla is a thing, a very wonderful thing that will hopefully be viable next codex.

I would buy Space Rats!

Mechanicum does sound awesome. Though I'd prefer if they kept everything up to date as well.

**illuknisaa**

Pretty biased poll.

3(4)/5 are imperium armies and only xeno army is "nonesense".

Also squats are not a new army.

I would like to see alien mercenaries which would be designed to work as allies.

**Mr Morden**

Mechanicum all the way

so so much potential

**silvu**

Space Skaven <3 I would love to see these if I'm honest.

**ThunderFury 2575**

...Where is Lost & the damned!!!! :(

**cbteom**

Mechanicum: Horus Heresy has them.
Squats: He's dead, Jim. Tyranids got them people, let them rest in peace

Adeptus Arbites: In the same game system as Imperial Guard? Not likely, maybe Inquisitor.
Adeptus Custodes: Would love to see them in action, but they don't have the numbers to require an entire codex. Maybe an elite unit for either one of the Inquisition codices someday?

I definitely want to see more alien races. The Horus Heresy series have shown us many different species and empires (only for them to be crushed by the Astartes later on), I'd like to think that there are several more remaining in the galaxy.

OR

Let's get an Ordo Xenos list! Deathwatch squads with exotic weaponry and access to Inquisitors and whatnot. Yay!

**Krellnus**

Arbites.

**Oiniane**

Going to say some Xeno nonsense. Would be nice to see something new again. A new main strategy/special powers that hasn't been in the game yet, then again it might be hard to add anything unique, which isn't utterly in use by other factions. To be honest I'd like to have an humanoid specie which uses biological weapons and maybe chemistry as well. Like to have bio-engineered humanoids, something that has utterly forbidden all machining and everything is instead growth or manipulated in labs (like in UFO series aliens (spin off from original X-com series)). I know that Tyranids are exactly bio-engineered weapons of mass-destruction, but I really would want to have a side with ability to think for themselves and not to rely on hive-mind. Also for them being all teeth and sharp claws kinda defeats the purpose of trying to look like civilized specie (not to mention their actions and hunger). xD

Second vote would have been machinarum.

**SickSix**

Hrud.

But I would like FW to do them. Expensive but I think they would be awesome.

**PredaKhaine**

I want eldar exodites - But I want forgeworld to do them.

FW seems to be concentrating on the Legio Cybernetic (robots)

Squats - well they got some of them............

Arbites /DeathWatch Kill teams - Would love an Imperial Agents and Auxilaries supplement

Custodes - well they woiuld need to become active again - but can't see there being less of them than Space Marine Chapters that get their Codeex...............

Agreed some good ideas for new races in the HH books

**Jasper**

I voted squats but on balance I would go for space rats; these could be uber dynamic models.

Squats could be covered in a supplement of additional races for imperial guard and include the beastmen units you could get for them yonks ago.

I like the idea of Knights but once you get a leader and two troops that would be a 1500 pt force.

Other Posssibles:

Bring back Zoats but divorce them from Tyrannids and make them into the Fantasy Zoats of old. I supposed it would be like a 40K ogre kingdom list.

Lizards (Not Slann) but more like the one in the Harry Turtle Dove alternative WW2 novels. These could be quite dynamic models similar to the snake dark eldar thing.

**BoomWolf**

Hurd! (space skevan)

Because nothing is quite as amusing as massive guns with a tendency to expload in a fantasy setting, taken into 40k scale.

**BlueRift**

I used to think about this fairly often. I voted Xenos and I have a few suggestions that already exist in the fluff:

Thexian Trade Lords - they are a "bi-morphic" race with a monsterous battle form and a humanoid form and use this to their advantage to take control of the fringes of society. Their army would be like the Tau but made up of mercenaries (Tarellian Dog soldiers) and the like. GW bonus: you'd have to buy two models for each Thexian.

Space Undead - These are in worlds watched over by the Death Spectres, called the Ghoul Stars. Apparently, they once threatened the galaxy. They could "break out" and wreak havoc. They would be the Vampire counts of 40k to the Tomb Kings, i.e. Necrons. Maybe their reanimation protocol causes dead opponents to become ghouls.

Bhargesi - hyper-aggressive Xenos with some tech. They might be a little too much like Orks but some tweaking could make them unique.

**Tigramans**

I'd love to see the armies of Mechanicum to form up and join the party. There are already pretty high quality "counts as" -armies that look just wonderful, but it'd be interesting to see how the GW models would look like... if they ever publish such thing beyond "30K"...

**ClockworkZion**

Sisters. They need a relaunch so bad it's basically giving them a new army at this point.

**Maniac_nmt**

Non Imperial, Non Chaos human faction.

**Shorttime**

I voted Mechanicum. Mechanicus. Whatever they call themselves, this Codex cycle.

But really, the answer is Doomrider.

Just Doomrider.

**BlueRift**

Non Imperial, Non Chaos human faction.

I agree. I remember reading in the rulebook that sometime in the past there was a High Lord of Terra that got sent on a crusade during the Golden Age of expansion. He took a ton of forces with him and was never heard from again. This could be all the fluff room necessary to create such a faction. That or find a way that the Interex survived the purge from before the Horus Heresey and are back in force.

**Far Seer**

Mechanicum. Arbites won't be viable as an army-they're policemen after all. Custodes will also not be viable because it's very rare a large force of them will depart from Terra. And squats...I've never been a fan of them, even if GW changed their name to Demiurg.

**Thokt**

Hip hip Hrrrrruuuuuuddddddd!

**namiel**

Wtf is with 19 people wanting squats???? No no no no never again. Worst idea ever[/rant]. I would love to see a proper inquisition book and definitely the mechanicum. I have no interests in seeing an arbites book but its a hell of a lot better then squats

**insaniak**

Yeah, I would much rather see every army with current-edition rules, every edition, rather than adding in more armies that won't be adequately supported.

Arbites would be part of another Codex and so would Mechanicus.

Nope Mechanicus have their own FW codex with 20 foot tall robot dudes as troops and better titans everywhere.

The Laer are pretty cool.

**namiel**

An army of psykic beings made of pure psykic energy.

**Ascalam**

We have that already.

They are called Daemons
