Well, the CURRENT GW universe would omit Squats and Slann (except for the latter getting a mention in Codex Necrons), and the Hrudd are a barely-mentioned aside. The Demiurg (= Squats?) crop up in BFG. The Necrons are a different race to the C'Tan, and don't forget the Kroot!
Inqs can be witch, daemon or alien hunters. And you also get the Officio Assassinorum. And don't forget that other extinct race, the Jokero - also mentioned in Codex Necrons.

Hi Maksim
Not offense intended but could we cut a bit back on the double posting in various parts of the forum? It makes following the discussion a bit difficult as some people reply one place while others do it somewhere else... 
Cheers!

That sounds right ! We need them all in Epic ! We still have Traitor SMs from SM1 for Battles of the Heresy !

Hi WN,
WN: Not offense intended but could we cut a bit back on the double posting in various parts of the forum? |
I know that there aren't too many differences between the posts, but...
The two threads are separate: one about Net Epic and the other about 40k.
No offence taken and thank you for the advice.
Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

| Quote (Warmaster Nice @ 21 2005 June,02:37) | Actually it'd be pretty darn cool to have a 40k or Epic battle inside a battleship...  ?The navy would probably consist of a whole bunch of penal troopers, servitors and perhaps Sentinel Powerlifters... |
I have though this too. There was a great scene in one of the GG Novels - "Sabbat Matyr" I think - where a whole battle, including tanks!, took place in a Hive Tower

Well, here in the US there was an expansion for BFG called "Invasion" which dealt with boarding actions using 40K rules...about a halfway step between Kill Team and full fledged 40K...Sorta like Warbands as opposed to Skirmish or WFB...Kinda fun looking...And Mod_P over at the SG BFG forum has been looking into getting it scanned and put online...

As I read this list, and what a list it is, I keep running into things I have never seen army lists for. Are all these really armies, or just things spoken of in fluff? Are they seperate or maybe just parts of other armies?
Did GW really publish a list for or think of these as seperate "Armies"?
--- Departamento Munitorum
--- Engineers
--- Pioneers
-- Ordinatti
- Adeptus Terra AKA the Priesthood
-- Adeptus Astra Telepathica: Astropaths
-- Templars Psykologis
-- Adeptus Ministorum AKA Eclesiarchy
--- Preachers
-- Adeptus Custodes
(Bodyguards to the Emperor AKA Praetorian Guard)
-- Officio Sabatorum
(Spies... )
-- Rogue Traders
(Merchants, Explorers, etc.)
-- Special Environment Troops
(Zero-G, vacuum, snow, nonbreathable atmospheres, etc.)
-- Adeptus Astronomica: Navigators
-- Regular Navy
- PDF AKA Planetary Defence Force
- Exodite Eldar
- Fraal
- Jokaero
(Demiurge AKA Space Dwarves... )
- Zoats
Just want to understand this list and what it really shows/says.
