Warhammer 40K MMO: Race Faction List

[lUnseenSniperl]

FOR THE GREATER GOOD!

[schuggi999]

Need FUCKIN NECRONS!!!

[ThyUglySpartan]

Better be Chaos Daemons!!!

[Bernardboby]

Orks*

[poisenpotato123]

I guess they would have like six races to begin with, my guess is that they'll add races with expansion packs like wow

[TheHamishbatten1995]

@poisenpotato123 If it lasts that long which sadly it probably wont.

[metalalwayswins]

@TheHamishbatten1995 The game won't last long. looks like a boring mmo

[126theman]

BOW TO THE ETHERNALS!!!!

[126theman]

How could they not have them all? If they dont I think they will meet their ends at angry nerds.

[Tleilaxu0]

@126theman How on earth would you fit any typical MMO elements into the gameplay you would have as a, say, tyranid? How would they do quests, or equipment? Tyranid creatures are created with one single purpose in mind, playing one in an MMO would be the most boring thing ever. Not to mention that they would be a completely standalone faction, and there are only so many factions you can have without sacrificing content quality for some or all of them.

[126theman]

Come on all armies please. it will be the shit definitely, but I need Tao. That's what I play, I mean for all my Tao friendlies I agree with AsenicOverdoes WE NEED TO GET GREATER GOOD UP THIS BITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!

[ArsenicOverdose]

Hopefully there is the Tau so i can bring the greater good all up in this bitch.

[deadcool1000]

cant wait to play as me ork and do some dakka.

[joeyrolph]

every side will be its own humans with humans and orks maybe chaos and a little dark eldar together zenos all by themselves nids

[baelparagon]

We need to get da orks into da waaagh!!!



[GearShotgun]

ah no necrons, as long as they don't have gray knights either i'll be happy, been whipped off the board by those silver fuckers too many times

[hepalamukala]

every single race in warhammer 40k would be so very awesome :) then its must buy

[Unchainedboar]

FOR THE DARK GODS!!!!!!!!!!

[InnocentEvil109]

i lol'd when the spess mahren was like........lowut??

[WyczesanyBober]

0:16 - Bitch pleaseeee

[lightningandcloud]

i would like my terminatoooooors on the field firing fazers at the space marins but OMG A GOLIATH or however u spel it lol

[MrKeerazy]

TAU PLEASE!

[ThicknSwift]

I would get Rid of tryanaids w/ Tau cause Trynaids are more like animals than anything.

[Iamawesomenorly]

@ThicknSwift Nah. Tyranids follow the hivemind, they're all instructed to do all things symbiotically.

The races we got are basically Imperium, Chaos, Orkz and Eldar.. Though future expansions will probably include things like Necrons, new classes and stuff like that.

[halorules501]

lol jedi mind trick is to weak use SITH NEGOTIATER CAUTION MAY CAUSE DEATH OR ZOMBIEMACATION.

[Rognvaldi]

NECRONS! PLEASE!

[MrDemonDog666]

I don't know if this is too much but they should include EVERY race in the 40k universe.

[VeryCupboardy]

their website is shit, not worth visiting.

[Oteken71]

cool

[JKRand0mn3ss]

No well honestly with the factions thing, the Eldar Craftworlds have aligned with the Imperium at certain points in the DoW games, books etc. These alliances remind me of WoW's Forsaken, siding with the Horde only to benefit themselves and for their own reasons ... perhaps this could be the same case if the Eldar happened to side with the Imperium? Just putting that out there.

[Wuzzup222]

@JKRand0mn3ss Xenos with the Imperium? Are you insane? More than likely it'll be an every race for itself type deal.

[JKRand0mn3ss]

@Wuzzup222

That's a more realistic option, but considering the Eldar's manipulating ways, who's to say they wont try to manipulate the Space Marines like in DoW 1, the Guardsmen in DoW DC, and Macha manipulating Gabe in Ascension and the various books.

[Wuzzup222]

@JKRand0mn3ss But to manipulate every single Imperial Guard, Adeptus Astartes, Adeptus Sororitas, and the God Emperor himself? That just seems highly unlikely...

[JKRand0mn3ss]

Imma set up a Craftworld guild.

[Sandmanbakery]

I WANT NECRONS AS A RACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think it would give them a big chance to really flesh out their race like they never have. Also how bad ass would it be to play as the "undead" and have your mission to wipe out all life in the entire universe

[maikorage444]

BLOOD RAVENS!!!!!!

[NeptuneGuy78]

OMG IKR MAYBE A SPACE WOLF!!

[TheTruthHurts100100]

I JUST WANT TO PLAY THIS GAME!!!!

[Vote1Jimmy]

I Want To be Chaos or Orcs!

[Vote1Jimmy]

The Imperal Guard & Space marines are going to be together called Imperium of Man!

[fishnchipz14]

I would either want to be a Kasrkin or a Space Wolves marine. God, I can't wait for this game!

[monomies441]

i wan't to play tau

[TheWatzitooya]

I want to play as the Luna Wolves, even though they're traitors...

[midsommarvisa]

serious.. necrons and tyranids.. i hope not.. fun to play a race that wanna eat everything and cusoming everything for it hivemind.. and as all warhammer fans knows. necrons cant die. fun to play a race or play against a race that cant die

[ChaosMugetsu]

@midsommarvisa necron Can die, but they are hard to fully bring down as when they take too much damage they will phase out and return to the closest repair point which is probably gonna be how they respawn when beaten

[grunnax]

you missed grey knights mate, pretty sure i saw them

[willowrhayne]

@grunnax I know they are a completely different playing SM army, but couldnt they count as Sm?

[Dragsnpr]

2 things they should have in the game:

1. The ability to choose what chapter u want to be for space marines and chaos space marines

2. They ability to pilot titans no matter what race u are!

[elvinltl]

IMO, a good main plot for this MMORPG will be the emergence of the Old Ones to combat the Return of the Necrons. You become a servant of the Old Ones and...

1) Engage the help of other Sentient Playable Races

2) Manipulate the Tyranids/Orks to combat the Necrons

If you read the Warhammer 40k Lore, both the Tyranids and Necrons have the same goal of harvesting the Galaxy. (Orcs are a Plague) So if you put them 3 together... CARNAGE!

Epic storyline that people will appreciate.

[vgSp00fy]

tyranids will be kinda hard to make cuz of the armor and weapons

[Fablesupernickle]

@vgSp00fy Also they don't talk so they couldn't give you missions. Also their power is based on their species so the only way to get stronger would be to change your species.

[willowrhayne]

@Fablesupernickle At least they should be in it as a non playable race in some great spin off combat campaign. Just something in their essence.

[a2dky1]

adeptus mechanicus in the trailer too.....would be sweet!

[halorecon95]

@a2dky1 THEY ARE IN IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

they will have the mage role

[WheelEyeEmm]

Better have Grey Knights

[LMGunslinger]

all WH40k questions can be answered here.

wh40k.lexicanum(dot)com / wiki / Main(underscore)Page

[GodlikePikachu]

There HAZ to be 'nids. It just not warhammer without over 9000 critters running around causing perfectly planned and executed havoc. And yes, I did just use an oxymoron.

[Rygarr88]

What happened to the first MMO they already released lol?

[Guardsmen95]

The Imperial Guard better get a spot so we could play them... I really do want to play an Imperial Guard

[SovietSquirel]

in the 41st millennium there is only WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGG­GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH

[sgtwok]

LAWL player base for order 3 imperial guard 10 commissars 200 Space marines 9001 grey knights 100000000 Dreadnaughts player base for disorder 1 mekboy 20 Slugga boyz 25 shoota boyz 300 Chaos space marines 400 daff dreads and killa kanes and 10000000 Mega armed nobs LAWL

[lavahosking21]

i hope grey knights and daemons are in it. My friend collects daemons and grey knghts are just awesome i like chaso personally

[jckrypton]

@lavahosking21 I think the Grey Knights wont be a faction but a class i think... :)

[commandersem]

@jckrypton of course grey knight wont be a faction they're space marines

[Zeredek]

You spelled Orks wrong.

[Joemoney6669]

can u play as necrons or dark eldar?

[jckrypton]

@Joemoney6669 I hope we can... :D

[rokasltu25]

cant help it... he sounds like a rapist with that mustache :D... anyway great show

[LetsplaywithTime]

Eldar 4ever

[MrEdwardz22]

No tau???? =(

[LetsplaywithTime]

@MrEdwardz22 Tau=DLC

[tik999]

WAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH

[Lonmnus1234]

if imperial guard are in this do NOT be them as you will get raped VERY badly by EVERYBODY else (unless your in a tank)

[qwerkaz]

@Lonmnus1234 Imperial guard will most likely be in this and no, you won't get raped because they will most likely make somekind balance between factions...

[xpvtxsoldierx]

@qwerkaz im gonna bet that if you play as an imperial guardsman, you get some a.i. dudes that follow you to balance out some stuff. though i might be wrong

[qwerkaz]

@xpvtxsoldierx Most likely

[luciusETRUR]

@Lonmnus1234 My best guess is that Imperium will be playing as Space Marines and the Imperial Guard will make up most of the Imperium NPCs..

[xxhellspawnedxx]

@Lonmnus1234 Well, obviously, one space marine is roughly equal to a platoon of Imperial Guardsmen. Thereby, in the spirit of fairness, if they're playable, you'll actually have a whole platoon of Guardsmen that you steer around :)

[ParrallaxMedia]

iff Necrons arnt in this screw it nah im joking i love 40k tabletop and the games

[ParrallaxMedia]

im gonna play as Necrons

[sgtwok]

one word... EXTERMINAUTUS!

[PacifistReaper]

@sgtwok thats three words :D yes i feel like being a smart ass

[sgtwok]

@PacifistReaper :< :< :<

EXTERMINAUTUS!!!!

*presses EXTERMINAUTUS! button on keyboard*

[Punishthefalse]

I hope this MMO will feature everybody vs everybody. Because in Warhammer 40k, every faction hates every other faction. Maybe a couple uneasy truce between say, Eldar, Imperium and Tau, but I want it so that as soon as one of them slip up, the truce is off and everybody shoots each other.

[Chuckhock]

ULTRAMARINES FTW!

[Blotchy12243]

i want myself an eldar ranger, so i can be a dick and shoot people from a bush :D

[keloid123]

PLEASE PLEASE PLEEEEAAAAAASSSSSEEEE LET THE NECRONS AND TAU BE A PLAYABLE RACE AND LET US HAVE MULTIPLE CHARACTERS

[xXxforkboyxXx]

People, please note that eldar and imperium have joined forces when they both have to- admittedly on rare basis, but it has indeed happened. Once their crisis is averted, they go back to killing one another. Simple.

[Daskinor]

where are you getting the info that the tyranids are controlled by the star parasits? necrons aye i know that but the tyranids ?? makes no sence! further more how would you actualy get the imperium to work along side the other races when its considered heretical! unless you make a faction for each and every race involved.

[LordCHull]

This reminds me....what ever happen to that girl on the angry joe show she just kind of disappeared?

[darrenegan2k9]

i wanna see how this will work i cant wait to try it :)

[ShadowShogun50]

I don't really get how you would play as Necrons, they usually come with set weapons, their vehicles are just more Necrons (lest you plan on getting on their back).

Tyranids I guess makes some sense, since you're might be able to get different weapons and have different classes (viva Evolution). but lore-wise, makes little sense for Tyranids use Hive-Mind.

unless you meant fighting them which will make a lot more sense. be freaky to kill Necrons, only to see them rise once more

[hovis1st]

Space Wolves chapter! If the Space Wolves aren't in it i am goin to go on a Roleplay server and making a space wolves chapter guild and if there aren't rp servers i might not get it

[magmanenis]

really, Necrons and Tyranids? The races that got almost no brain activity? I mean really, the necrons are told to walk in a straight line and shoot all living, how fun can that be?

And Tyranids is pretty much the same, just that you have no own thoughts or control AT ALL!

Maybe as raids/dungeons tho, that'd be awsome.

[darrenegan2k9]

@magmanenis tyranids can be controlled by the hive and necrons are controlled by there gods the tyranids story will probally be to feast on the world to get more minions and necrons to kill all living things because that is what they are made for i can see how they would work unless they do good and evil factions like in WoW if they do factions tyranids and necrons wouldnt fit with either lol and if they dont do factions space marines and imperial gaurd would not fight each other

[Redrik666]

@darrenegan2k9 the tyranids are actually controlled by a necron god there are 4 necron gods they have 2 at the moment one is the void dragon which is on mars and the adeptis mechanicus worship it as the omnissiah and the other god is the thing beyond that controls the tyranids

[Symbioteposion]

@Redrik666 wrong haha, tyranids are not controlled by anyone, they are the hive mind, there is no ultimate source, all the synapse creatures share this conciousness, necron and tyranid avoid one another because tyranids get little to no biomass from fighting necrons

[Redrik666]

@Symbioteposion um no dude your wrong haha the tyranids are controlled by the hive mind AKA a necron god they avoid eachother because they know they share the same masters and same goals

[Symbioteposion]

@Redrik666 i collect and have both tyranid AND necron armies, they have fought on instances, it is documented and listed in one of the tyranid codexs, they do NOT share the same masters, it is clearly stated there is no "controlling body" for nids and they are all part of the same conciousness

[Redrik666]

@Symbioteposion nah bro it is not clearly stated it says how it is a unknown entity called the hive mind there is a book you need to read that talks about everything in 40k like how the chaos gods were humans from cadia that entered the warp

[drogon223]

@Redrik666 do you even understand what a hivemind is? a hivemind is a collective conscience that controls the entirety of one species. for example the xenomorph's from avp they have a collective mind they all know what the other knows. the hivemind of the tyranids is not a c'tan it is the collective mind of every single tyranid beast

[Redrik666]

@drogon223 trust me when i say this its a c'tan further more the xenomorphs dont have a complete hive mind per say either

[PazouwhProductions]

what are the kinds of Space marines liek with different aromor colors and such? please help? I know very little of this game

[Pinage]

@PazouwhProductions The different armour colour-schemes of the Space Marines denote their chapter. Each chapter is an army of 1000 Marines each with their own history, culture, war strategies etc. but they all fight for the Imperium with the exception of the traitor Chaos Space Marines.

[DeathKnightZXZ]

fucking beast space marine btw space marine ftw

[DeathKnightZXZ]

fucking beast space marine

[creepypanda22]

For Sanguinius!

[Orklord90]

For Chaos!!! Death For The False Corpse-Emperor!!!

[Orklord90]

Imperium must be more Gothic, More Gritty and More Cruel. They sould use the old adrian smith artworks as concept art for their game to understand the feel of 40k, it isn't your half-baked pop culture-referenced shit aka. World of Warcraft which Warhammer Fantasy Online turned out to be. Even the slightest pop-culture or real world reference or they turn the Imperium to sisses and not Quasi-Fascist Douchebags which they really are, then they will have me in their office with a Bolter.

[valking20]

NECRONS AND TYRANIDS

[oxmor]

ORK ORK ORKK ORK WHAAAAAAAAWARRGGGGGHHH!!!!!!!

[NoobMister]

One thing I wanna know is if its going to be free to play or subscription, because if its the latter there is no way they'd compete with WoW.

Most MMOs being made these have to work on the principle of 'Everyone already owns a WoW account'

[theduelingburr]

plz say 40k not forty thousand it just sounds weird

[theduelingburr]

ELDAR HELL TO THE YES!

[AnotherMMOVideos]

Awesome looking game!

[dantae666]

Had better keep the races no 2 side fighting each other each race a side because that is how war hammer works and the former killed of warhammer online

[epicureanmaster]

@dantae666 Agree one hundred percent, every race should be a faction, i mean all of them are fighting each other on and off, should be reflected.

If they must make chaos/order factions, I say let major factions determine city and npc interactions and allow players of the same major faction to form groups with each other, but otherwise, I say let them be neutral or have an "at war" switch against the other races of the same faction that people can turn off, but really keep true to the war part.

[woodtord9]

My only remaining pleasure is to bring death to the enemies of my Craft World.

[MirswithMaster]

They gotta have Tyranids, Tau, and Necrons... any of these three and Ill buy it!

[ErikFortress]

@MrJitteryJohn i went shit happy when i heard orcs and i only care about em, WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG­GHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHH

[Sliteh]

@ErikFortress We is gonna stomp da universe flat and kill anyfink that fights back. We're da Orks, and was made ta fight and win!!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!

[ErikFortress]

@Sliteh Dem, stunty's gonna rethink before attackin' us agian! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!

[MotokoSAC2]

One thing I'm certain. We won't be seeing this game for quite a while, due to so

many complicated stuff they have to incorporate, like classes. I'm sure

tyranids and dark elves are included.

[prerm2686]

Those are enough races for me, but i would like nids. Tau and necrons are really gay.

[dantae666]

@prerm2686 speak for your self

[Raziel1288]

blood for the blood god



[TheChowder09]

CHAOS DAEMONS! PLEASE!!

[Troop3r666]

@MrJitteryJohn dakka dakka dakka

[Fgundam]

are we going to be able to customize our armor colors and designs?

[Moolaanz]

I WANT THE ULTRAMARINE ARMOR

[darkdenath]

F*&K CHAOS GLORY TO RUSS AND THE EMPEROR

[xxspookie]

yea TAU!!

[DR4C44N]

i just cant wait to slay some imperial dogs...For Chaos!

[MrZipMk12]

I just wonder one big question.

In what year Warhammer 40K takes place att?

2100? 2500? 3000? 5000? what year of some 1 could answer it for me.

It would help me much :)

[orkwarlord2]

@MrZipMk12 if your asking that then no offense, but your a bit stupid :S

(and it is set in the 41st millennium)

[Xaime49]

Screw the Tau. No matter who we are, we'll reach their front lines eventually, and when we do, they're screwed. Even the Tau beat the Tau in close combat. D<

I want Tyranids. They wouldn't have to be a main enemy... Yet. Give me a Genestealer Cult. OH! A Lictor as a playable "Hero". Vanguard organisms FTW! :D And then feedz your brainz to meh, so I canz eatz your delicious memoreez.

[mikeyspikeyb]

Tau ftw

[loulakion]

i would like Tau instead of Tyranids ...

[THEJMANRULZ]

even if this game is shit im still gunna jizz

[HellgateCA]

YOU GUYS BETTER HAVE READ THE HORUS HERESY

[carnagejc]

I'd love to know how they are balancing imperial guard. If it works similar to other races that will be fine as a game but totally whack in comparison to everything else 40k. On a pvp game you'd need about 100 imperial guard  minimum vs enemy team of 10 Chaos

[PawnSacrific3]

Heh, I think Necrons would bring imbalance if they were a playable race. <3 Necrons

[watbebe]

adeptus mechanicus

[watbebe]

those robotic dudes are also a race , forgot the name for a second

i hope tyranits and every race there ever was wil be in really hope that also dark elder , just becouse there dark xD

[serpent087]

I would be so glad if there will be the Tyranids-Race in the game!!!

I want to serve the swarm, every bit of my biological mass is conserved for the Hive and our Queen ^^

And your chaos/imperial/eldar/tau/orcis­h gene material will be absorbed soon...

Well, the only question i'm asking myself is: "how will the different Tyranid-Classes look like?" way of Tyrant-Warrior? Terma-/Hormagaunts, Lictors?

Anyway, this game is a must have already!!!

[HellgateCA]

@serpent087 If their is a Tyranid Race then they would most likely be the main enemy of both factions

[DatsVatSheSaid]

WAAAGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!



[DatsVatSheSaid]

orkz!!!!!!

[ZombieBrainsDev]

My guess would be Imperium and eldar vs Chaos and orcs and in a future expansion adding Tau and dark eldar, everything else I think would to to difficult lorewise explaining an alliance.

[SiNeX1983]

Tau are little blue communists.

[gunboie5443]

@SiNeX1983 another good reason to kill them all.

[at1god1]

WHAT ABOUT GREY KNIGHTS !

[crookedfruit]

If i can't play my own chapter or one of the less known ones and have that as a clan.

then i probably will give this game a miss. Death Eagles FTW!

[YourALostCause]

Vlka Fenryka (Space wolves)?

[IarRAIDER]

I know what I'm gonna be...

BREAK THEIR BACKS!!!!

Can you guess?

[Aetrion]

What I want to see out of this game is simply this:

Huge persistent world

Tons of factions

Territory control

All out war

Let's just cut all the MMO clutter and make the entire thing into one gigantic battlezone where nothing is safe except for the strongholds of each faction where you respawn when you have lost all other territories.

[FoofyTheGreat]

I never really liked the tau, because before they came along, there was no obvious good or bad guy, and I think there never should be.

[Thestuka1]

what will this game be realist on ??

[Thecoon12963]

Ahem, ORKZ!!! Not Orcs.

[The40karmy]

i hope blood angles are in this game

[devispez]

I hope for tau too! , so i can smash their retarded people and rape them in melee with a power sword.

[gunboie5443]

@devispez Hell yeah scew those Tau basterds! Kill the lot, KILL THEM ALL!! In the name of the Emperor.

Space Marines FTW!!!

[MrAkaitos]

@gunboie5443 When you will fail in the name in the emperor, you will join the greater good...

[gunboie5443]

@MrAkaitos What part of "WE KNOW NO FEAR" do you not understand? Even in death I serve. If I fail him in life, I will not fail him in death. I will not join your so called "greater good".

PURGE THE XENOS SCUM!!!!

[MrAkaitos]

@gunboie5443 DEATH TO THE FALSE EMPEROR !

[gunboie5443]

@MrAkaitos DEATH TO YOUR FALSE GODS.

[LordDeathis]

@gunboie5443 the C'tans will destroy you

[gunboie5443]

@LordDeathis Dreadnought and terminaters will kill you and your piece of crap C'tans.

[LordDeathis]

@gunboie5443 we will see what the mighty warp dragon have to say about that (He is under the surface of mars if you did not know that) ps. your god emperor is weak all he does is sit on the f****** throne all day

[gunboie5443]

@LordDeathis He is constantly battling the Chaos Gods in the Warp and preventing their further intrusion upon the material universe. He is kicking your Chaos God's asses at all times.
