How do you think that fixes anything?
10,000 is still a very small amount, half assed changes like that only draw attention to the smallness.
Marine Chapters ought to be at least a million strong.

Tau are now a proper coalition of smaller alien races banded together for survival with no strong central government, just haphazard cooperation.

>>44915453
Thankyou for giving me an idea for a planet for my RT campaign.
A planetwide coliseum with entire armies clashing in ruined cities as the rich and powerful watch from protected spires above is fucking cool as shit.
>>44915453
>>44915470
And Im stealing that idea as well because its metal as fuck.
>>44915470
oh shit yea, that sounds good
make sure you put some more lore into the breeding houses, like they force slaves in crazed orgries or some shits
>>44915484
I pride myself on being a faithful khornate priest, thank you
>>44915468
It let's the crazy stuff stick out better though. I'm not saying they succeed. Just for them to be there for contrast.
>>44915453
Breeding like rabbits you say?
I hear there's a chaos god who's really into that kind of thing.

i realize the top ones will be very unpopular but i said what needed to be said anyway. i think GW has really focused on space marines (as they should) and that has caused other factions to become annoying and retarded. tyanids arent that bad but i like the name zerg better

>>44915696
Not that anon, but Slaanesh wouldn't get that much power from procreation.
If it involved some level of lust, then he would benefit from it, but Khornate followers breed to have more followers for Khorne, hence they wouldn't power him that much.
>>44908787
But Tau can warp travel. It's just navigator-less computer assisted short jumps, like many imperial ships.
>>44915696
Slaanesh could not care less about cellular division
>>44915871
No, just no (especially not ME's aliens, you fucking EA shill)

Well, it's not wrong, is it? When daddy came to whup his failure of a son for being a big meanie and the Ruinous Powers abandoned him to die he had a moment of clarity to regret what he had before his soul was obliterated.

>Codex space marine chapters are now 100,000 strong.
>Neglected xenos races like the Hrud, Stryxis and Rak'gol get more focus in the fluff. Made codexes for some of these races + the eldar exodites.
>The focus on the imperium of man and especially the space marines is reduced, though they remain the most represented.
>Sisters of battle are an exception and get a little more support both in fluff and the tabletop.
>Conflicts between xenos races, without the presence of the imperium, are explored more often. Such conflicts can happen in mostly uncharted regions, such as the Koronus expanse. The Koronus expanse has several xenos races and contains some eldar exodite worlds that defend against these threats.
>The Tau gain access to a more reliable method of space travel. It's not as reliable as imperial methods, but it is still good enough to enable them to expand their borders a little and explore regions such as the ghoul stars. This brings them into more conflicts and thus gives them a more solid place in the fluff.
>>44915745
That's the base motivation for all the rest.
>>44907950
>Marines Chapters are now 10,000 strong
>AdMech Forgeworlds collaborate collectively and shares acquired STCs among themselves
>>44915055
No, it's not. The only reason why posters suggest it at all is because having chapters with only 1000 marines is pretty absurd if they make such a massive difference in conflicts.
>>44909480
Well, straight from the lexicanum (so, with sources and shit):
Ultramarines - 250,000[8]
Sons of Horus - Between 130,000 and 170,000[7c][Note 3]
Iron Warriors - 150,000 to 180,000[16a]
World Eaters - 150,000[7d]
Word Bearers - 100,000 to 150,000[6][10]
Blood Angels - 120,000[10]
Night Lords - 90,000 to 120,000[15a]
Iron Hands - 113,000[15b]
Emperor's Children - 110,000[7f]
Imperial Fists - 100,000[11][Note 1]
Death Guard - 95,000[7e]
Alpha Legion - Conflicting accounts ranging from 90,000 to 180,000[16b]
Salamanders - 89,000[15c]
Raven Guard - 80,000[9]
Thousand Sons - 10,000[12][Note 2]
And these are numbers from the time of the Great Crusade and the Horus Heresy, mind you. Nowhere near millions of Space Marines per Legion. And given the ass-backwards ways of the Imperium, well...
>>44917756
>Thousand Sons
>10,000
My head canon is that Alpha Legion is actually 100 or so guys cloned thousand or so times, implanted gene seed and given hypno-therapy and memories of previous legionaries.
>>44918971
>>44917756
Was changed to 100,000 in the hardcover version of A Thousand Sons.
