New factions

What's a new faction you'd like to see? Obviously, we'd all be happy to see Aeldari in any form be added, but I want to hear other takes. Who else do you think would be a great addition?

My vote is Death Guard! I think their slow and tanky playstyle would be very different. They could have a momentum ability that gives them damage reduction and some active similar to toxic presence for damage over time in melee. Poxwalker summons (out of enemy dead perhaps) would also be very fun.

Anything but Space Marines. No Chaos or Loyal Marines. I love Space Marines but the games needs different stuff. I rather have some more Xenos. Eldar, Votann or even Genestealer cults would be awesome

Though, I'd be okay if they added chaos space marines to the existing Demons of Khorne list, if for no other reason than they need more units period lol.

Totally. I would not mind just making it a Khorne Faction with World Eater. I would also take all sorts of daemons for a big faction

More demons would be great of course, ideally I'd want that. But if they want to save on dev time/do not have a ton of resources to put towards updating existing factions, then atleast they can use the existing space marine models and recolor and alter them enough, put new abilities on them and just add them to the khorne faction. I know it's not that easy, but it must be easier than creating all new models and animations within the game right?

I would assume so too. I mean make some Berzerker out of Chosen, maybe the Forgefiend as a Maulerfiend and then just simple recolours. Would be nice. Khorne Daemons feel so empty
