[King Ghidorah]

should the other ork named characters should get a Ghazghkull-style revamp maybe have some more "prime-orks" in the modern setting of 40k

The kin get a Rhino. The catch being they usually go into pairs, and either of the two can shit out the infantry? Or each can shit out half?

And they're armed pretty heavily:

It's good to see the squats are not only returning but returning in stride it's got a very "heavy duty space SUV" thing going on

I like the smooth designs the squats have going for them. It makes their squatmobile look pretty distinct if a bit silly, like gluing wheels to an egg.

I mean look at 90% of all Warhammer vehicles the slight silliness of them is part of a charm just look at the space marines and their flying metal boxes

 

[Love Machine]

I think the squats look really bad.

 

[Alter Ego]

Vehicle scale, especially when it comes to transports, continues to be whack. A full squad of Kin between two ATVs... I'm guessing that means ten per vehicle.

I never wanted dwarfs in modern 40k but at least the diggy diggy muh beard crowd are seething so that’s all I like looking at.

 

[I'mma real anime gurl]

I like the Squats are now not commie taus and that I hope that stay remembered.

GSC are the communist faction. Tau are just mind-controlled hippies. They're more japanese than anything.

I don't think the Japanese are very tolerant.

i mean look at tau battlesuits and look at any Gundam or Macross shit and draw your own parallels

Despite what people like to throw around, the tau are closer to fascists then anything. Despite people liking to throw the word fascist on the Imperium it is closer to a feudal system.

It was my understanding that non-tau races are treated as second class citizens at best.

Tau are Indians, with the Ethereals being British and the auxiliaries being Dalits.

Yes, but they're alive, which by the standards of 40k is exceptionally lenient.

IIRC, after taking over an Imperium world, the standard operating procedure for the Tau is to sterilize the human population and bring in Tau to replace them over the course of 50 years.

That was taken from the Tau ending for Dawn of War: Dark Crusade.

The Tau believe that everyone has a place in the Greater Good. Defying your position, rebelling against the Tau will bring death upon you because it was the lack of order that led to Mont’au, the dark time before the Etherals.

I see T'au as golden age humanity part deux. They have insane tech, little knowledge of how bad things really are and are basically living on borrowed time until one of their subordinate races/tech betray them. The problem is that until then they come off as massive mary sues who can do everything that the Imperium bleeds to pull off.

T'au get mogged all the time and their empire is like laughably small so I am not sure how they can be mary sues. Even in their official warhammer+ animation an entire team gets felted by 1 craftworld ranger.

 

[Picnic_Boy]

Hell, isn't one of the GSC factions a corrupted corporation or research company or something?

Yeah, the Twisted Helix come from a world that is basically a giant pharmaceutical production facility. They were greedy and amoral, and saw nothing wrong with creating medicine and gene therapy involving unnaturally hardy Tyranid DNA. Before you know it, they all began developing a Broodmind with each other ("wow, this new therapy is giving us telepathic superpowers, we're so much more efficient now"). They and their satisfied customers now reek of Genestealer DNA and are shipping their panacea to multiple star systems. Another interesting bit about them is that they often grow Purestrains in labs rather than in the womb.

never forget the Damocles crusade genuinely some of the most blatant displays of plot armor ever

The Imperium of Man is a theocratic empire.
