Why are gou guys bitching so much about WA? the first patch that came out after WA came out was pretty good.
I dout the Necrons will be in this one. It's not as if they have invested alot of time into them(2 models). The other will be tyranids. The devs were hinting that they would make an appearence in WA for a long time but nothing ever came of it. Im guessing that they started working on them, then shelved the idea because they were really late getting the expantion out in the first place.
Tau is ok by me. I think alot of PC gamers will take well to them.

Devs have already stated that Tyranids are not possible with the current engine, due to limitations with the graphics. Not to say they couldn't change their minds, I suppose, but they've been pretty clear about the "no 'nids" thing in the past.
The real contenders are the Necrons and Dark Eldar.

IG is still broken. For a "defensive" race, they excel at rushing, in addition to being pretty good at defense. Morale has lost its importance due to the number of morale immune units that can now be fielded, research has been unnecessarily trimmed down thereby allowing fewer choices, teching is now the #1 priority in games as more units are rendered obsolete by their higher tier counterparts which for some strange reason cost the same or sometimes less than the lower tier units. The game has turned into a spam fest to see who can tech faster, and that's without putting all the unit bugs and imbalances into the mix. Assault Terminators reinforce faster than most units can kill them and they can stun infantry and vehicles alike, Obliterator weapons are still broken, Power Swords do massive damage to buildings and vehicles (more so than power fists...), Techpriests can still own the crap out of most early infantry squads, etc... not to mention all the damage oddities that result from typos in the .lua files.
I'm not entirely sure why they felt the need to mess with the DoW formula for WA, but it sure as hell didn't work.
I wonder what happened to that Tyranid mod. I haven't heard anything for a while.
are the singleplayer campaigns for the first DoW and WA worth picking the game up for?

btw do they have titans yet in these games?
I only played the original, and I stopped playing after the 5th level or so, after an hour of searching the map for the one building I somehow missed. I hate games designed like that.
Doubt they will since a titan would be far larger than the maps (if they are to the epic model scales), they do have you fighting over a broken one though in WA it never moves though.

Oh, I'm sure they have interest. Virtually every poll I've seen on the subject suggests that Tyranids would be the most popular addition. The devs have stated the issue lies with getting an organic look to the 'nids...particularly the larger critters. They don't feel the engine would do the 'nids justice.
But you never know, they could've come up with a workable solution or had a change of heart on the matter.
I really like to see some individual SM and Chaos chapters, I.E. Blood Eagle, Space Wolves, Emporer's Children, etc.
But that would be nightmarish to balance I think.
