For Space Marines I would love to have the Black Templars, all the anger and sword slashing would be a glorious sight!
i hope so! the templar would make an excellent addition to the game. They better put in a defiler! i just wanna see a Bloodthirster ripping and tearing apart everything in its path. And yeah either emperors children or death-guard for me! I understand that if we are thinking planet side mapsize, but since we are dealing with an entire planet of unknown proportion it could always be extended through expansions to add other races. at that point make it a free dlc, but if you wanna play dark eldar or necrons you pay 10$ like for another slot. Unfortunately the only way we will see more than originally promised is if they get enough funding and have a large playerbase. with free to waaagh thats gonna be an easy task imo.
I almost feel like 'I'm playing Black Legion until X gets here' should be a subfaction within the subfaction.
+INITIATE LOW GOTHIC+ SKITARII! CULT MECHANICUS! STANDARD UNITS! KATAPHRONS, VANGUARD, RANGERS SPECIAL UNITS! RUSTSTALKERS, INFILTRATORS HEROES! KASTELLIANS, TECH PRIEST DOMINI! FOR THE OMNISSIAH +END OF TRANSMISSION+ +THOUGHT OF THE DAY+ +THROUGH FAITH WE BRING UNDERSTANDING! THROUGH UNDERSTANDING, KNOWLEDGE! AND THROUGH KNOWLEDGE, REVERENCE FOR THE OMNISSIAH!+
All of them. I want everything. I want pure condensed epicness. I want a game where everyone can play whatever faction/subfaction flavor they can. I want to see millions upon millions of dead xenos at the feet of the almighty Imperium, all imperium represented. More seriously thought, it would REALLY be awesome, but doubtful. Still I'd like to see some: Cadians Death korp of Krieg Armaggedon steel legion Elysisan drop troops hell, even stuff like Vostroyans/Vallala stuff that doesn't get much attention Sisters of battle/ecclesiarchy grey knights Pretty much all first founding chapters and black templar. (loyalists and chaos). all xenos (Tau, Necrons, nids, dark eldars etc etc.) nids would probably be best with stuff like warriors and not gaunts though. Even Mechanicum (cult mechanicus or skitarii). But that's pretty much like a poor orphan kid in a third world country asking to Santa Claus that he wants peace in the world, a big 3 stories high manor with a doorman, a ferrari and a different girl for every day of the year. YOU KNOW you can't get all of it. And you'll consider yourself pretty damn lucky to have one element from the list, and if you'd happen to have more than one...you'll start worshipping Behaviour team like they were the unholy gods of chaos incarnate. Still yeah, if they ever get guards with more than one guard subfaction I'd definatly add them to the pantheons we should worship! But Nathan already said they'd most likely combine Imperium with sisters/mechanicum or other specialists unit for infantry and guard mostly for vehicles or something in the line of. But that's far down the road. Still, I'd feel badass maning a rapier laser destroyer, having a vets team in a chimera with one dude firing is autocannon from the hatch and others on multilaser turret and hull mounted flamer or heavy bolter or something like that.
