I demand at least 20 different versions of thrusting/grinding/twerking just for the Space Marines alone.

The eldar have rights to most of the spinning dance moves.

So we now have the first emote seen so far: the chainsword held up high in the air.

And that video also shows that we will be able to use advanced tea-bagging technology.

Basically this thread is about emotes & limiting them to stay in character. I will never, ever want to see a dancing Astartes on the battlements. NEVER. Not even one.
SM/CSM are cold blooded killers, professionals at their trade with no emotions to hinder them on the battlefield. Guardsmen have possibly very strict discipline, Eldar are with a bit less strict about bad behavior but would not think that the incredibly old Eldar would find bad behavior amusing on a battlefield.
So do not let the players do unprofessional / too out of character emotes, for they will do it the very moment it is possible.

I'm not ruling out emotes, but I am saying that it's a nice bonus for the game's features, the game can be incredibly good without any emotes, but everyone who's a fan of SM wants to be able to cry "for the EMPRAH!
From a designer perspective, I'd say it's very tempting to leave emotes fully out of the game.
Personally, I think it would be a shame, right emotes on the right moment give a MMO it's breath of life that increases immersion. I don't ask for much, just a couple of emotes.

-There are emotes that I would like to see on the SM, such as the "Punch the sky" kind of battle cry the crimson fists did on their last stand etc.

Orks are actually pretty much unshackled by character, it would actually be encouraged to have a rowdy oddball of idiots chaotically using various emotes.

Eldar dance = you die..sooo sure!

Slaanesh has dancers. Nurgle was in the Thriller video. Tzeentch is always trying to change things up. Found a video for Khorne dancers:

Orks would probably dance if it was violent and loud- mosh pit - then would end in a fight -mosh pit.

Ultramarines obviously ball dance, I imagine Dark Angels dance like snoopy characters listening to saftey dance.

Wolves probably try to head bang but being drunk doesn't help and Blood Angels well... heres a song called red thirst. http://www.gamethemesongs.com/Darkstalkers_3_-_Red_Thirst.html

Faction based emotes would add much fluff to the game, for example a SpaceWolf should (in my opinion) scream more brutish "For the Allfather" or "For Russ" than your avaerage posh UltraMarine ... do they even scream or merly articulate a well sung battle hymn

I would love to see an emote to take off your helmet and another to put it back on again. It's not much, but I've wanted to see that for years.
