Hopping on the hype train =D
I just hope that when considering more W40k armies for DoW3, they don't forget about the Skitarii or Cult Mechanicus. Now that they are a tabletop army on their own right, with their own unique playstyle and units, it would be a shame for them to be forgotten. In the end, I want all factions like everyone else, but I simply hope the Mechanicus armies are not left behind.
Praise the Omnissiah!

They're the military ground forces of the Adeptus Mechanicus.
In tabletop, they can (and should) be played together to combine their strenghts. They're mostly ranged, with some truuuuly nasty toys, their melee units can disrupt the enemy (like Banshees), and have medium resiliance. Gameplay-wise, they feel like a combination of Sisters of Battle, Tau, Necrons... and something else.

Adding the Aeptus Mechanicus would be great, but I am afraid the variety of units (already existing) is not enough developped to allow such new stuff. But there is always hope
