I beg to differ from the squat rumour...
BARGHESI!!!
Unfortunately this is based on the fact that they have got several recent mentions, in the 40k rulebook (Grendl Stars), and in C:SM, in the Silver Skulls(?) background entry. So it isn't water tight.
or maybe the return of The Lost and the Damned...
Sorry about the necromancy...

well, this could be the Hrud, Tarellians or any other race that's still there somewhere... or Kroot.
but, since the Hrud are again mentioned in the 5th rulebook :S

I really don't see the problem with Space dwarves - they've been around since before the majority of posters here were even playing. To imply they aren't canonical or "right" is amusing.
Do you really think dwarves in space are more logical or dumber than orcs or elves in space? Or even 8 foot tall marines?
Really?
The whole hobby and setting is essentially extremely derivative of other works anyway (tolkien, terminator, the aliens films, I could go on) so anything goes, frankly. GW have always had a sense of fun, a silly, hodge podge approach to their games, and play stuff for laughs all the time - squats are a perfect fit for the setting. I doubt that the architects of our game are as dour and obsessive about the material as some of the gamers I meet...
Don't forget - at the end of the day, it's a bloody game of toy soldiers. At this point, we have all crossed the line into ridiculousness anyway. Just enjoy it.
I would love to see squats on the tables again.

Demiurg or Nocturnal warriors of Hrud are both at the top of my wish list.
i think the Demiurg are more likley, if only to give the Tau another ally.
The Demiurg being mining Trading high tech space barons.

but nocturnal warriors would be cool in a kind of space lizardy skaven kind of way.

the manager at my local Games Workshop store spilled the beans to me already, the new race is for FANTASY, i can't remember the name of the race but i know that they are suppose to be Fish People.

It was asked at the seminar at games day, there are no rew races coming out. They are going to focus on the ones that are around now and if they are around now in fluff, minis, etc.. they are here to stay i.e. chaos dwarfs, witchhunters etc...

The Boyz at the local Games Workshop is sydney have confermed that the new race is an oceanic race full of mir-folk and a giant jelly fish... there are several examples on www.coolminiornot.com if you know where to look

Woot! I like the idea of Chaos Dwarves better then anything non-human that they could put in 40k. The only 40k army I think I would look forward to is AM.

On p55 of the Planetstrike book there is a small paragraph in amongst lots of famous planet invasions about some race called the Banelings. It seems a bit odd to randomly put this in when no other minor races are mentioned. It's a long shot but... since it says they are blood-loving...40k Vampire Counts?

Also, some of the minis were pretty cool. at least in concept. Not the bikers, but the runic space-armored ones. They clearly need to be updated for modern tastes, but the concept could do very well.

Remember, though, a while ago there was an image of a decidedly squatesque mustachioed head floating around the internet. It was from one of the gamesdays, or GTs, or warhammer world open days or something.

It would be interesting to put a DOW (Dogs of War) equiviliant into 40K as it would allow most, if not all the races to use the units in there, provide all the races like Hrud and Demiurgs, return to the roots of the game (Rogue Trader), Flesh the kroot more, and possibly chuck in Ordo Xenos, maybe even some freelance Mechanicus guys, which fits in with some of the fluff I've read in Inquisitor about rogue Mechanicus priests going 'radical' in a techquest. And, it would allow interesting builds which could be fleshed out to be Elite to horde. If not, maybe a BoLS mini-dex could fill the gap?

i believe that its gonna be chaos dwarves as in the back of the fantasy rulebook where it shows the stats it has a choas dwarf bit and has underneath an army book not made at time of printing - why would they put this in if they had no plans about it?

New Race? No Problem. It may happen sooner than later. Games-Workshoip is an incredible business. Given that, a new race is almost overdue. Over the last three years (ta-ta Andy Chambers), they are close to having upgraded all the lists. Necrons languish, but just about all the shelf-able races (Dark Eldar too twisted for the kids), are up to snuff - Orks w/Battlewagons, New IG, Eldar, Tyranids, Tau Phiranas, Space Marines twice. Always room to expand those, but A New Race! It means codex, troops, heavy support and a bunch of probably excellent sculpts. Throwin more paint and Black Library books and you have phase three (or two and a half if Apocalyps was a fortuitous accident). I've been thinkling a new race was due since Christmas. It'll happen sooner or later. And it may well be something totally new. 40K is the 800 pound gorilla now.
