I would love to play IG with guys like Bragg or Larkin I vote Tau because i like their design and weapons
I understand how hard it would be to include Imperial Guard from a gameplay perspective (unless they're an armoured/vehicle dominant faction), but it's a huge shame to not see them represented. They'd be my first choice. I hope they at the very least make up a significant portion of the human NPCs at outposts. I haven't voted. I can't chose between the three options provided. All are equally relevant and all provide diverse gameplay and story/lore opportunities.
Dark Eldar. I probably wouldn't play any of those 3, but DE seem like they'd be the funniest to play as/against.
Voted Necrons. Mostly because that is my TT army. The other reason is I think it would be awesome for Arkhona to secretly be a tomb world.
I am leaning towards Tau as they are the most unique from all the current classes. I do not want Necrons to be the 5th faction because it is too soon for them. I think the Necrons will be better implemented as another AI race like the Tyranid and they should be the main feature/resistance in an expansion. The game has yet to be released, at least leave one major race to be discovered.
i was watching one of the videos inside the development office and i noticed sketches of a guardsmen helm, id assume they are either wasting time =P or garrisons and border guards are guardsmen
Im voting Tau. And kroot is not really a close combat unit. But I dont mind a bit of lore bending to provide for a cc option for Tau. Also Crisis suits.
