Any chance we could see Orks, Necrons or Tau...

As enemies?

[Divisionario]

I would like to see Necrons.

Yeah I'd be thrilled to see any one of them. This game has some great variety already, and if they manage to eventually get these last 3 main factions in the game, it would be friggin amazing.

Tau could work, depending on how close our sector is to their space.

Fabricator ruins look rather Necron, except for the color.

Orks could be a problem. They rarely engage in the kind of subtlety that calls for the Inquisition.

Caligari is in the fringes of Segmentum Tempestus, and the Tau empire is pretty far inside the Ultima Segmentum.
It wouldn't make sence.

While the Orks are a staple of the 40k universe, the Inqusition has few dealings with them.
They are not very well known for their schemes.
It is usually a straight up job for the Astra Militarum or Adeptus Astartes.

Necrons, well they are everywhere, so stumbling across a tomb world might be a possibility.
Or Trayzen might find something worthwhile in the subsector.

Good to know. Sounds like the only way we could ever see them is if we get a successor to Inquisitor set closer to their space.

These are all good things to note, but I'm sure a good writer/story teller could make it work. Keeping fingers crossed.

Tau, Orks and Necrons is 3 Races we should all wants to see. However the one we are likely to see first though is the Necrons. Why? Because the game have them mentioned in the Campaign. Orks and Tau, I´m crossing my fingers for coming in some kind of setting.

In a series with quite boundless creativity for fighting, I'm sure you don't need that hard mental gymnastics to make a plot around Orks.

I would like good representation for Genestealers in a story mode myself, that faction feels like a font of storytelling but has been dry for ages.

Go ahead then, give us the rough outline of a possible idea. Just enough to know why the Inquisition goes in instead of having the regular force of the Imperium handle it.

It might work if there was something like the Jericho-Maw warp gate that allowed the Tau to cross the galaxy. I'd imagine that there isn't much information about the Tau over in Caligari, so the plot would be along the lines of figuring out who the Tau are, how they crossed the galaxy and finally locating the warp gate so that it can be blockaded by the navy.

Ongoing missions could be justified by the blockade being imperfect and Tau slipping ships past it, then trying to disrupt the logistics supplying the blockade.

This idea has two possible problems:
- Would GW allow a second warp gate like this ?
- Would the Tau be willing to use it ?

I've been asking for Necrons for years in this forum. I'd love to see them in game along with Orc's.

The easiest bottom of the barrel option is matching stolen artifacts or something.
Maybe you could have an Ork mimicing the Inquisition in a way that would suggest needing more investigation on the subject
The Martyr is old enough to have some ties, maybe have Tiberius managing to force an Ork to become a Daemonhost by being just that good at being a sick bastard, so you'd have an inquiry on a relatively secluded Ork band.
It could take just one well above average Ork to come up with something intriguing enough to need more than just bolters to solve it, and there's enough mass in the setting that being above average isn't much of a lottery to stumble upon.

No wonder the 40k setting is pretty stagnant if you're that opposed to having more substance in the setting lol

Mimicking the Inquisition ?
That would require Orks who want to convince others that they are human.

A daemonhost could work for a few missions. One mission to get through the Ork forces to something odd the guard have reported from one battle. Then it's a matter of finding the daemonhost, which is easy. Just look for wherever the guard are losing the hardest, as that's where the biggest Ork will be. Then you have a mission to go in and eliminate it. Hardly worth the cost of producing all the units of a new faction here, but it would work well in a game that already includes Orks.

As for a smarter Ork, they don't tend to go for the subtlety that the Inquisition investigates. They build some big, nasty war machine and send it up against whoever can put up a fight because that kind of fighting is what Orks enjoy. Maybe you could get a few missions out of infiltrating the Orks creations before tracking the smart Ork down, but it's still only a few missions.

[bodysnatcher <3]

Tyranids are literally bugs. They could easily have Orks in the game as enemies.

[Bilateralrope]

Nids have genestealer cults that the Inquisition deals with.
