I have to agree that the original life-cycle (sans queen) is so much better.  The idea of people being transformed into face-hugger eggs is terrifying.

Hmm...orks and eldar since I play those T-T.

Of course I have access to other models as well..'nids, tau, etc.

All of them. Or whoever dares to question the authority of Imperium and Emperor.

To be Unclean
That is the Mark of the Xenos
To be Impure
That is the Mark of the Xenos
To be abhorred
That is the Mark of the Xenos
To be Reviled
That is the Mark of the Xenos
To be Hunted
That is the Mark of the Xenos
To be Purged
That is the fate of the Xenos
To be Cleansed
For that is the fate of all Xenos

Necrons, because our GM is a massive Necron fan, so we can expect to fight them more than once, and I'm really looking forward to taking a Relic Blade to a Necron Lord and stamping his remains into a fine metallic powder under my mighty boots, Uriel Ventris style.

And on a side note, someone mentioned Aliens, as in egg-laying, face hugger making, chest bursting Xenomorphs? I had an interesting and criminally nerdy discussion a few years ago about how Xenomorphs would be more an Imperial Guard or PDF thing than a Deathwatch concern. Sure, the infestation would have to be purged, but the standard issue weapons in the Imperium, the humble Lasgun and mighty Flamer, are the ideal weapons to deploy agaisnt Xenomorphs and while they are scary little buggers the Imperium routinely faces monsters that are much higher on the terrifying-$#@*-o-meter, not to mention even more insidious. I submit to you Genestealer Cults, Necrons and an array of lesser known species such as the vile Slaugth, the Enslavers and, my favorite, Daemons straight from not-hell-but-kinda-is.

I'd *love* to see Aliens featuring Ciaphas Cain and the 597th Valhallan instead of the Colonial Marines.

"I say we take off and order Exterminatis on the Planet, it's the only way to be sure..."

Tau.  They fit just fine in 40K, but their delusional fanboys are annoying (hint:  when your empire has the total population of a moderate sized hive world and sucky FTL, you're living on borrowed time) so they must die.

Humans of the Imperium. ;)

Ah, that was me (I should really set up a user icon, I think it makes one much more recognizable.)  I was saying more that I'd like to use a Xenomorph vibe to make the genestealers/tyranids more horrific and vile, though, than that I'd have the PCs fight straight-up Xenomorphs.

Tau, deffinately Tau.  I want a dose of manga-meets-melta!

What am I most looking forward to? Pitting my players against Fabius Bile and his Chaos-Engineered Tyranid hivefleet. Basically he's going to do some wacky experiments on a Norn Queen, and the fun gets rolling from there.

 No-one's keen to fight the Demiurg? The Nicassar? Let's see a little bit more of the Tau Empire in action!

of course tyranids.

eldar would be fine too.
