On the note of Xenos adding more pesrpective, there is a moment in the lore where a Tau Water caste diplomat visits a Hive World to try and convert it to their empire, the Tau in question has a small crisis when he discover that the aftermention planet ALONE, has more humans living on it, than the amount of Tau, IN THE GALAXY. Xeno species and characters really add some in universe perspective by reactions like that alone, imagine if you had named characters, and personally I am always looking for more Xeno related content. Also Xenos focused stories in 40K could have so much potential. -A horror story where a Space Marice hunts a small band of Xenos explorers, the Space Marine in question IS the Horror. -A Lost last stand between Imperium Forces and a Xenos fleet trying to buy as much time for the evacuation of their planet. -A gurdsman and a Xeno being forced to work together to survive. -Hell a story about Non-Tau Xenos on the Tau Empire.
Eldar always need more love. Ido want to see more of the minor Xenos races become notable factions. I've invented three or four of my own for various tabletop RPG games.
@@anotherperson2627I can't poost the whole thing here for formatting, but a short rundown: A race of floating jellyfish with psychic lightning attacks. Contemporaries of the Eldar, they're much-diminished and never respected by the Old Ones' other creations. Entirely psychic, and resistant to chaos, they protect themselves with psychic forcefields. Basically imagine an entire race/army of Zoanthropes, but much smaller. A race of three-legged, four-armed gorillas dependent on exoskeletons and bionics to survive. Formerly peace-and-love hippies on par with the Tau, they embraced nuclear power as a means to defend themselves against awakening necrons centuries ago, which doomed them to a slow extinction as radiation now ravages their genome. Now adherents to a genocidal death-cult, they want to make the universe suffer as much as them. Their base weapons are radioactive S2 pistols (which they dual-wield) with the same armor penetration as plasma weapons, and they're all encased in heavy armor giving the entire race 2+ armor saves. But they're limited in tech, never developed force fields, and use the same skip-drives as the Tau, developed independently. No power weapons, no invulnerable saves, very limited psykers. A race of xenos abominable intelligences. They went rogue and wiped out their creators. Unlike what happened with Humanity, the robots won. Now they're on a mission to purge all organic life from the galaxy, alongside all machine-life that doesn't fit their templates (so Necrons are on the list, too). Most of their troops are sentinel-scale walkers or similar.
I'd like to see some stories from the perspective of the Leagues of Votann, especially ones pertaining to the Galactic Core where most of them reside. I think it'd be a great way to take a peek at a part of the galaxy nobody has really touched on before their arrival to the setting.
Ask an Ork enthusiast, I would love to see more gits to crump! Also, I wanted to play Tau when I thought their Auxiliary races would be more included. I think they would be the best wy to feed in more lesser known species.
I've been playing a long time, and I've always wished they did more with the alien races. There's a part of me that thinks they never will, though; whether that's because they find writing a truly alien POV too hard, or because they don't want to wrestle with the ethics of sentient races being locked in endless genocidal war with one another, I dunno. Maybe that's why they like using the Orks and Tyranids, where there's no reasoning or making peace with them. Still, as the years go on and more designers and writers come in, that could hopefully change.
@@hood_guard I'll have to check it out! I more meant that I want more lore about them from GW! The hrud have this weird "out of space out of time" thing going on that seems really neat
I agree I don't understand how the Eldar get steamrolled all the time. How you gonna mop the floor with a starfaring species that's 60million years old.
I actually disagree with gw on their interp of the IP. Survival is not evil. The demon armies are evil, sure. But the Tau, Imperiam, and Elder, are just doing what they must.
I hope we get more xenos love, The thing I get the most bored with when it comes to 40k is the obsession with space marines they are fine and all but they take up everything there is so much more interesting things in the 40k universe then guy who spits acid and has 2 hearts in power armor saying brother over and over :P, truthfully because of how little attention anyone gets except for space marines kept me from taking interest for a long time, I always saw it as the "big weird looking blue armor guys thing" I stumbled onto a fan art of a drukhari succubus that was the reason I started to fall in love with this setting as much as I have.
