What would you choose to be the next 40k's main faction?
You are an employee at GW, your boss who never played, read, make minies of 40K in his life enter your office and say:
"Hey, so I saw a post on X who said than people had enough of the imperium now and it got like... 60K likes, so I guess than that mean we should stop to have the imperium and space marines guys as the main faction, so... you know this stuff right? Ok cool, I let you choose what will be the next new main faction, ok I've a golf to do, bye!"
So now your job is to choose what will be 40k's next main faction, you'll have no gmae deasign or lore writting or artistic opinion to say about it, you can only choose a faction and that’s it.
This faction will get the same attention than the imperium currently has and it will trickle down to it’s sub factions. 1nd the Imperium will now get the same attention than this faction currently recieve.
So for example if you pick the Eldar:
The imperium will get only rarely new models from now on, and when it happen it will be mainly the space marines. And once every thousand years when the stars align you'll get some Mechanicus, sister of battle and Astra militarum.
The Asuryani will get the attention given to space marines
Ynnari will get the Ultra-marines treatment with a lot of named characters, books, video games etc...
And the Drukari and Exodite will get the attention normally reserved for the Mechanicus, sisters of battle and Astra militarum.
Also the univers story will be written with them as the main characters.
So yeah no pressure! In of one decision the futur of 40k might get changed, you could make your favorit faction finally get the attention you think they deserves but you might get something more like "quantity over quality", reducing the global quality of this faction you love so much... plus all the hate you might recieve from people seeing you as "the person who ruined 40k".
But if you don’t take your decision your boss will do it, and you know you can’t trust him with that!
Hope it’s clear and I can’t wait to see what people will say.
