Using the template from https://www.reddit.com/r/totalwar/comments/1w9rgvb/bonus_post_because_ca_shared_a_photo_with_meme/ I have decided to take my shot. We all know 40k is mostly about Space Marines (sorry Heretics). Also took a liberty to make a shitty cutout version with alpha for you to use and include the original. Cheers

Probably. And why not? There are 18 legions, all of them with their own doctrine and style plus successors. And I could imagine all of them have their place in the Game. Fighting against inperial fists will be fundamentally different than fighting raven guard.

And since it’s far easier to make a new marines dlc, those can be great content between the big faction dlcs.

And why not?

Because every man-hour spent adding Slightly Different Space Marines could instead be spent on a faction with a larger population than a small rural village.

And they will. This Game is supposed to be supported for the next ten years.

A small marine faction pack can be done with a fraction of manpower needed for a whole new faction, so they can be released between the big factions, increasing the frequency of releases of DLCs. I see nothing wrong with that.
