There are 7 major sides in Warhammer 40,000 they are:

Humans

Chaos

Eldar

Orks

Necrons

Tau

Tyranids: (like the zerg in starcraft) a horde of bio-engineered beasts from another galaxy, operating under one hive mind, and built to kill and make more of their kind from the compounds they devour.

------------------------------------------

keep in mind there are a number of sub races of each of these I have mentioned here as well

I want to see all the main 7 represented in Dawn of War 2.

i agree, would be a shame not to, sisters of battle tho, wat a waste of time they were, the repetitive chain sword noises did my head in to the point of me kicking the speakers in a rage! lol, i collected tau when i actually bothered to paint the figures, but i think tyranids look wicked in dow2

There are a whole bunch of new races they could add:

* Abhumans: descendants of humans, modified in various ways by mutation and the environmental conditions on the planets on which they have evolved. Includes:

* Beastmen: a human sub-species characterised by bestial features, normally heads and legs. * Ogryn: a human sub-species characterised by larger muscles and smaller brains.

* Ratlings: a sub-species of human who are short and specialize in sniping.

* Squats: a race of short humanoids who are believed to have been destroyed by the Tyranids. * Barghesi: aggressive race near the Grendl stars. No other data is known.

* Caradochian: winged race often appearing as mercenaries.

* Chuffian: use a characteristic Power Maul weapon. No other data is known.

* C'tan: the race worshipped by the Necrons.

* Demiurg: a race of short humanoids, allied with the Tau. May or may not be related to Squats.

* Daemon: foul creatures made entirely of warp material. The favourite servants of the Chaos Gods.

* Drugh: large larval invertebrates with advanced psionic capability. Stem from the world of Pyrus I.

* Enslavers: parasitical warp-based lifeforms that look for psychic hosts to transform into living warp portals.

* Galg: green, scaled, frog-like creatures rumoured to be Tau-allies.

* Galthite: xenos from the Oenorian Inner Systems.

* Hrud: a rodent-like species.

* Jokaero: resemble orangutans. They are famous for their instinctive technical brilliance.

* Kathap: a race using what appears to be organic weaponry.

* Khrave: alien mind-eaters.

* K'Nib: described as "festering clawed fiends", have 10 limbs.

* Lacrymole: a race of shapeshifters.

* Loxatl: amphibian quadrupeds who communicate through infrasound. Grey-skinned and foul-smelling. They are known to smell like rancid milk and mint.

* Nicassar: a psychic race allied with the Tau.

* Necrontyr: the race that became the Necrons.

* Nekulli: little known about the Nekulli race, apart from their Whisperlance technology.

* Old Ones: an ancient race who fought the C'tan.

* Psy-Gore: from Perseus; makers of crystalline firearms.

* Q'Orl : an insectoid species, whose empire is centred on the swarmworld of Loqiit.

* Scythian: martial species devoted to the art of combat.

* Slann: an ancient reptilian species, connected to the Old Ones.

* Tallerian: reptiloid mercenary allies of the Tau.

* Thyrrus : a squid-like race with colour changing skin.

* Umbra : a species of floating spheres with a hard, black carapace.

* Viskeon: huge muscled humanoid creatures, when part of their body is cut off, a fetus forms from it, feeding off its nutrients to eventually become a fully formed Viskeon.

* Xenarch : an isolationist, warp-worshipping species from the Galactic north.

* Zoat: large, strange, centaur-like creatures that were conquered by the Tyranids. The Zoats were used as a slave race for the hive mind and its followers, and many revolts by the zoats (brutally put down by the Tyranids) led to the near extinction of their race. Eradicated by the Imperium upon their arrival in human space.

Same. Above all, I'd like Chaos, though.

Man thats some heavy stuff gam3r, but i admire your knowledge of warhammer, but i think production of that would be mammoth, i didnt even know all of that existed, mind u i never played the game (board game) much... just painted the models, and read some of the books. i guess they will eventually cover all seven but we will have to wait for the ad ons. (and pay plenty of cash for them)

The Imperium is divided into two parts: Imperial Guard and Space Marines. In-game this would add another "major" race.

well other than 1 person here you all seem to be out of the loop. in warhammer 40k the tabletop there are exactly 11 armies total

space marines

chaos SM

imperial guard

deamon hunters

witch hunters (sisters of battle)

tau

eldar

dark eldar

orc

necron

tyranid (these are creatures from the warp who managed to get enuff intelligence to team it up and organize they arent actually some bio engineered killers).

these are all the armies with rle books and army lists and hence the only ones they could make without making up a whole bunch of fictional crap which they would probably only do if it too got a codex. but the likelyhood is somewhere near impossible. anyway they have offically stated there will be expansions in which if nothing else will add the other armies and give them a complete list. thats right they wont be makin any crap up other than these ones because relic and THQ are lazy SoB's and Games workshop wouldnt go ahead and make them a new army because that would result in a huge loss of there tabletop following, which would be about as stupid as blizzard ending the WoW tomorrow. they wont for all the money in 3 countries. so in conclusion that would be where theyed ull them from and at some point or another they will release the others so whats this thread even for? other than of course people's impatience. anyway as for that race list your exceptionally fictional half those races are made up by yourself and the others u lifted from the fiction which for the most part fictional extras. and furthermore man u missed the jorgalli: a race of insectoids of which no two are the same and all are modified with some biomechanical enhancement or another. furthermore if your qurious the demon hunters aka ordo maleus of the adeptus herecticus are essentially they grey kight acting on orders from or in conjunction with an inquisitor which is an all powerful person charged with seeking out and dealing with the heretical and unfaithful. hes a space marine with 3000x the influence.
