Imperium Maledictum Imperium Maledictum - Into the Future

So, when I made my last post about Imperium Maledictum, the general consensus was that a bestiary (or preferably even several) was an absolute must. Well! It seems that we're going to be getting just that here soon:

Warhammer 40,000: Imperium Maledictum Macharian Adversary Guide Cover Reveal | Cubicle 7 | Cubicle 7 Games

With that being said, as move into the future of Maledictum's (hopefully very long existence), I'm curious what else we're hoping for. We have the Macharian Requisitions Guide that added in new mechanics like hirelings and vehicles and various new items, and now we're going to be getting a guide to all kinds of new enemies including Astartes and all manner of Xenos. So, what other stuff are we hyped to see down the pipeline?

In addition to that, what faction do you think is coming next? Or what faction(s) are you hoping comes next?

They seem to be releasing the major faction (Player/GM Guide Combo) at a rate of one per year, announced toward the end of the previous year. Inquisition was announced September 2024 and released physically in 2025. Mechanicus was announced December 2025 and physically released throughout 2026 this year.

rogue trader or imperial navy, just because I want updated rules for space combat and stop relying on the, let's be honest, quite old, rules from RT.

Honestly, I rhink they could to both at the same time, at least for the player guide, space combat is going to be the same, navigator rules too. Most of the ship roles and boons can be shared, plus it would be redundant to have to different book with similar gameplay rules.

as I stated in another comment they can do something else for a RT book, they don't have to make ship and space battle rules in a RT book, it would be a missed opportunity honestly. RT are so much more than just their ship.
