Warhammer 40K: Top 5 New Detachments 10th Edition Needs
Goatboy here with the top new Detachments I want to see next in Warhammer 40K 10th Edition.
I do like how GW has simplified the whole Detachment aspects of the 40K. It is a very nice and clean approach that I feel is a great starting block of rules that can be expanded pretty easily. There is a whole slew of Detachment ideas GW could do by mashing together various existing Detachment rules concepts tocreate something unique. Let’s talk about the top 5 Detachments I would like to see next year.
This is a wishlist of stuff with a real bent towards the types of armies I like to play. I feel there is a lot of stuff you could do with the whole “Imperium/Chaos” keywords and how you could create something cool. The Agents of the Imperium did a bit of this and I think we could do a whole lot more with a few small tweaks.
5. A Mutant Focused Chaos Space Marine Detachment
I really enjoyed playing my old Creations of Bile armies from before and think pushing something that isn’t just “cultist” monsters and more along the lines of heavily mutated Chaos Space Marines would be a cool idea. I really like the Possessed models and while they might have some play in Renegade Raiders I think moving it into a different direction would be more interesting. I love the idea of having something like a Bile “upgrade” pills that lets you pick different abilitieas that activate each turn with some options to “double” things up if needed. I just love the idea of a bunch of mutated evil monsters running rampant across the table top.
4. Chaos God Focused Daemon Armies
How many times have you thought “if I could just have an all Nurgle Army with some cooler benefits maybe I wouldn’t have to talk Be’lakor?” Or just those players that go all in on a choice and might get something cool for it instead of the player asking – why didn’t you take Be’lakor and not get shot off the table? It just feels like a no brainer option to me and I hope we see it come out at some point in the future for Chaos Daemons.
3. Mixed Daemon/Chaos Legion armies
How cool would it be to see a Juggernaut rider of the World Eaters join up with some Blood Crushers? How about a few Nurgle heralds hanging out with some Death Guard friends to bring about some gross nonsense of the great Grand Father? You saw how Tzeentch runs with the Thousand Sons in the Space Marine game so why not get an army matched up with them? It feels like something that could just be cool and unique for Chaos and an easy update. Oh and also – get us a Followers of Be’lakor army like the one from a long time ago – a friend would love to play them again.
2. “Tainted” Dark Mechanicus Army
I don’t think you need to shove in Chaos stuff for your Ad Mech army and instead just shift some things on their rules te represent the taint of Chaos. Let them do something where they have a corrupted software and it does different things. You also have all theses shifted Enhancements and stratagems to give it a darker feel and let some crazy model builder go to town knocking out some things.
1. A Night Lords Army That Works
I would just love to see one Night Lords detachment that somehow got leadership bombs to work. I don’t know if it is just something utilizing the base Leadership of people and giving benefits to units instead of hoping for a failed Leadership test. Even if it all activates off of starting strength issues too. I just needs to be something that works all the time and doesn’t have to wait on your opponent to fail a test that might not matter.
I know I talked about evil stuff but I am sure there are a ton of others out there. I think just getting all the Marine armies out would be a nice benefit like Space Wolves and the upcoming Deathwatch release but what else could show up? How about a true Ynarri build? Or what about some T’au stuff where they are friendly with other armies? There is a whole slew of stuff that could come out and be fun if GW wants to mess with the formula a bit.
What detachments would you like to see?
