POLL: If 40K had a new, non Marine army, what would you like it to be?

[Cadian122]

I'd love to see a proper traitor Guard codex, with models for Blood Pact, and all the great tanks/non-guard units that the traitors field in the Gaunt's Ghosts Books.
Like the Stalk Tanks, AT70s, SteG 4 light tanks, Loxatl, Chaos Marine Battle Brother Allies, etc...
I'd love Arbites and Mechanicum from a background perspective as well.

just a thought, reapers in Mass Effect are already modelled on Chtulhu/old gods.

I vote squats (and mechanicum and genestealers cult but that should be included in a sourcebook for tyranids).

[Poseidal]

Why no Hrud, Squat, Demiurg or Fishman options?

[Katharon]

Be cool if the Interex civilization, Kinebrach, or squats were chosen...

[eldargal]

Voted Genestealer Cult out of nostalgia. Exodites would be nice too.

[Psychosplodge]

I want to change my vote! I want Squats

[Pssyche]

First of all, Lizardmen in Spaaace. Just saying.

There already is. The Slaan.
Just saying...

Genestealer cults could be done acceptably with a supplement dex to the new tyranids allowing IG allies (which should already be available). A new tyranid dex could motivate me to do a genestealer cults counts as tyranids otherwise. (cultists= termagants etc.)

Mechanicus seems most practical as they are pretty universal and come in both loyalist and traitor flavours already and could have a wide range of allies to fill any initial gaps in the range due to starting from scratch.

Hrud/umbra would be most interesting as they keep popping up in the background but are difficult to visualise right now.

I've thought about the Cthulhu army... using some genestealer heads and cool greater daemon from Reaper.

[phoenix01]

I voted other.

I think that the 40K universe could use an injection of "Good". A race of beings that are the exact opposite of both the Chaos Daemons and the Necrons. A race of beings whose ideal of perfect order leaves no room for anything that is potentially chaotic. A race who had left our galaxy eons ago, now returning due to the ancient war they waged against the Necrontyr. A race that has been the inspiration of all the angelic type beings in myth, including the Eldar pantheon. A race that may be too good for our good...

I say let's have an Old Ones army. They're back and they are pissed.
