The thing is with Alienhunters, they need an all new line of models and stats. that's REALLY hard to make. and they can't make DeathWatch 100pt/per marine and ubr-powerful like they planned to make with GK originally (as i was told by GW staffers and HQ staffers) it just ISNT FUN.
ok DH had models already, and GK, and WH had sisters, so not much new there. but AH has to be ALL DIFFERENT and thats really difficult, so most likely wont be an AH codex or AH as a standalone full army at all. (again from staff and their connections)
this greatly dissapointed me! i'll go into detail on the reasons for no AH later. (no time now g2 work)
EDIT/UPDATE:
ok it looks like im sort of against AH here but im not.
in fact im absolutely devastated and pissed at there being most most likely no AH codex/army.
But heres the facts (gained from GW store staffer and HQ staffers, including one that used to work at UK studio):
SM inqie, done
sisters inqie, done
iggie in the inqies, done
inquisitors, done, a lot.
psych powers, done.
how to make a GOOD representation for DW thats original? basically none (or so it seems to studios)
gw apparently believes there is little or no way to make a balanced, fun, completely original codex and line of models.
I'm told it will most likely appear as a Chapter Approved Amendment to DH codex stats, and maybe a small line of models, OR an expansion of the DW killteam rules in CA with most units "referenced" to DH and WH codexes.
plus there is NOTHING out there on AH and its off radar, meaning its at least 2 years away
