I'd be glad to get some feedback on the Xai'athi. I'm looking to see them one day added to Warhammer 40,000, but would like to see what you all here on Dakka think of them. This is just part of their story, but there is far more information on them on the 40k fanon wiki. Also, I'm working on a codex for the Xai'athi as well. It isn't finished, but I'm looking to see that completed in the near future. Really looking forward to your thoughts on my article!

Interesting. Good idea making an article page for them. Hopefully more people will comment.

Hopefully...

Nice addition to the 40k universe.
They seem to fit in perfectly with the existing material, but are also coherant with the feel of the 41st Millenium, and our understanding of the universe from the GW background.
Will you be writing a codex for them and writing rules for their use in 40k, or is it merely a background/fluff project at this stage??
Really interested in seeing hobbyists push the boundaries of the GW background, and would love to learn more.
