Tau and Eldar as next factions?

[ChainsawCommando]

I'd rather not have another Imperium faction next. I also feel like Chaos and Orks are overexposed.

[Dantihero]

Be that as it may, the Devs have hinted at Orks and they already have Khorne demons, so probably no time soon for Tau and Eldar. Still, you never know and if they can get out 2 armies a year like they did last year, perhaps 2024 might be your year.

[ChainsawCommando]

At least Orks and Chaos Daemons aren't the Imperial Guard or Adeptus Mechanicus.

For the Greater Good, we must keep the faith.

I’m good with any new factions. I’m usually meh on orks but from a balance standpoint it might be nice to have a melee heavy race in the mix

Personally I would love to see the World Eaters in game,but any other Chaos Space Marine subfaction is a great addition to the game.

[Atoastydoofus]

Seeing as they're playing close to some kinda of probable narrative with this. Tau would ultimately not see any presence. The possibility of eldar is up for grabs since they tend to send their warhost everywhere they deem important.

[ChainsawCommando]

I mean, I'd also be up for Drukhari, Leagues of Votann or Necrons

[mydayyyyy]

I hope really for Tau

[Bazza>XI<]

Eldar i would love to see, tho doubt they'd have the ability to survive the khorne demons

[M1Combat]

Tau please.

[ArchAnge1LT]

Eldar all the way

I would love to see these two added as well.

Tau and Imperial Guard

I think fan-pleasing aside, my question is what will make the game more interesting.

I can absolutely see Tau and Eldar both fitting this game well. Because of its mechanics, the game is very infantry and monstrous unit heavy; I just don't see the game being balanced well around a vehicle heavy faction such as Astra Mil.

Eldar of course have all their aspects, wraiths, vyper jetbikes, and the Avatar. Tau have their battlesuits, many of which are of the correct scale. I think broadsides and crisis suits for example would work well. Probably not the riptide.

Beyond that, I can see Mechanicus or Chaos Marines working well for similar reasons. Votann would work well mechanic wise, but they're extremely new and have a small roster, so I"m not sure how well that would work.

I think Chaos should be represented in some way
