If you can add anything to 40k; a race of your own, a new suppliment, dream vehicle? what would it be?
Personaly I'd like a race similar to the Mobile Infantry from the Starship Troopers book.

Not sure if it would work in game terms, The army would be very small, maybe around 10 models with no squad coherence, but rules meaning the commander must survive or something similar to 'Phase Out' would happen.Wiki said:The Mobile Infantry is an elite fighting force of the Terran Federation ( IMPERIUM). A Mobile Infantryman is equipped with a Powered Suit as well as an arsenal of weapons at his disposal, some built into the suit. These weapons range from conventional firearms to micro-nuclear warheads. The armor is strong enough to resist any conventional weapon less than high explosives or anti-tank rounds. The servo-motors give the wearer enough strength to crush a tank or tear through a concrete wall, but are dextrous enough to allow them to pick up an egg without breaking it. The armor is also equipped with jump jets and rockets, allowing the trooper to move rapidly about the field. One expression used in the book as a compliment to good soldiers is that they are "on the bounce." According to Juan Rico, when one is suited up in the powered armor, they appear like a "steel gorilla".
Usually, an MI platoon would drop from individual capsules launched from a troop transport in orbit. The capsule is used only once. The MI platoon will then execute its mission. These missions range from hit-and-run strikes to search and rescue missions. The MI will usually deploy about one trooper every half-mile. After the mission is complete, the Transport will launch a retrieval beacon for the platoon to follow to the retrieval area.
