Actually, necrons phasing out when they die and respawning later sounds like it'd fit a game like this quite well haha
Tau should be playable. The sucks ass argument is just your opinion and cant be really taken into account. They would fit this game very well except the lack of melee. But for that you could play as kroot.
Haha, nah they're just unimaginative crap. Typical grey skin alien with some tech. Got no time for em. The kroot I don't mind
The Tau are strength-wise and organization-wise right between Adeptus Astartes and Imperial Guard. So it would be nothing but in some way racism (Xenophobia lol) to not include them as a playable race. Also I want my XV-88 Broadside cruisers! (the one with shoulder [older model] and the one with the under-slung variation [newer model])
I'm guessing you dont know about how fucking badass farsight is.... he will find you.... and he will kill you....
My argument is that individually the literature is irrelevant, just like every other single aspect of the warhammer universe. In the TT it's about a factor of 2, for the basic boyz; and DoW had ork boyz at nearly the level of space marines, with nobs substantially better. In EC, it isn't that unusual to bring them all the way up. Maybe these orks are just an especially orky breed. Everything else we agree on, as usual.
I love those new models. You know, they only made it underslung because that's the conversion that everyone was doing anyway. Eventually GW just got the hint and realized we didn't like them on the shoulders. Too Gundam.
