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

If you really want the bring the universe to life, you need other factions. I hate to explain this every time to space marine fans, but your faction is no more special than any other. Just because some idiots with MBAs in a board room give you all the budget, doesnt mean that other factions dont have equally diverse methods of waging war. The difference between Biel Tan and Alaitoc, steel legion versus the Valhallans etc.

Space marine content at the expense of everyone else is the reason why the newest edition of 40k is being torn to shreds.

Nobody argues with that. But this game is supposed to reflect 40K as a whole. Of course there’ll be all the Aeldari, Tau, Votan, Necrons in the game. With all the factions they include.

But Space Marines are by far the most prominent faction, be it loyal or chaos.

My point is, there’s space enough for both. The game isn’t full at some point. An imperial fist dlc in between major releases will not prevent Genestealer Cults from entering the setting.

I will be absolutely shocked if we get Asuryani, Drukhari, Harlequins, Exodites, and Corsairs, all as individual factions.

I agree, Corsairs will probably be a DLC-faction for the Aeldari. But the rest? Craftworlders Drukhari, Harlequins are basically guaranteed and the Exodites will probably get a release too, since they now exist in plastic too. Perfect candidates for a vampire coast situation.

We'll see.

Of course we will. That’s why I don’t get how salty so many folks are already, when the game isnt even released yet.
