New Faction for 40k?
There are rumors of a new race coming to 40k revealed at Nova this year. I want to set the record straight with what was actually said since I was there, and even later as I was introduced to Pete in a more natural environment at the event.
Lets get to the bottom of it..... yes, a new race was mentioned, but not in the context that it has been reported around the net. The question was framed on what they would like to see come to Warhammer 40k if they had their way with a wish list. Mentioned was several things including plastic sisters of battle. The other thing given to the Nova crowd was that Pete Foley would like to see a new faction not yet in the game to be introduced. This was his wish list, and from the event reveal was more of a long term wish list, not a real reveal as I have seen reported. As quickly as it was mentioned Arbites were brought up in the conversation from the crowd.
So was a new faction revealed at Nova? Not really. It was mentioned in the same breath as Plastic Sisters of Battle being on the wish list. So take what you will on it.
