I doubt we'll see the Tau as they are on the other side of the Imperium. Lost or hidden Necron tombs might be fun.
What I'd really like to see is the old Gyrinx...the psyker-cat-familiar from the original Rogue Trader. News of teh return of teh Ambull fills me with glee though.
Ooooooo...perhaps we'll get Zoats (and Zoateebix) too!

Think you're old? I used to play Laserburn you know…
I'm glad the Ambull is mentioned, I still don't know what the heck an Ambull is and I was thinking of a planet that has a few wandering around on it. Perhaps an up-to-date rendering of a grox? Currently I think of them as quadrupedal cold ones from Warhammer.
Nocturnal Warrior of Hrud? Tarellian Dog Soldiers? More mutants? I'm certainly looking forward to Creatures Anathema. It doesn't matter if you're playing a Xenos campaign or not, aliens are fantastic to add as flavour.
Ambulls were big (Ogryn size) insectoid bipeds, with a stag beetle like head and two big muscled arms. Generally harmless but you don't want to anger one.
Years ago Citadel made a metal miniature of one.
Of course they might be "re-imagined" for Dark Heresy

My Guess,
* Eldar/Dark Eldar (reprint of the last one, see Purge the Unclean)
* Ogryn
* Perhaps some of the Tyranid (Genestealers, Lictor, basic Drones)
* Chaos Daemons
* Some kind of Giant Earth Worm (Please?!)
* Expension on current known and publish anethema
* Systen specific critters
Perhaps even some of the ancient Anathema
* Necron ?!

They are kind of like Umber Hulks from classic D&D.
"In what vessels did they pour forth their polluted essences, in what form did they hope to subjugate the universe, with whose hands do they, even now, reach across the frontiers of space in vain aspirations of conquest? It is both obviously and painfully clear that it is WE who they venerate they wish nothing more than to be like us, to be like Him whose children they envy."

I'm really pleased to see that some of the iconic races such as the Eldar and the Orks are going to be in here but i'm guessing there won't be enough room to give them a lot of detail.
Guess i'd better continue adapting all that Eldar weaponry, gear and vehicles over to Dark Heresy rules (Along with Exarchs, Seers, Warlocks, Seer Powers, Warlock Powers, etc etc). Whew, that's a heck of a lot of work! I'm beginning to appreciate and respect the work that went into those fan supplements now.
Perhaps, we could have a Liber Eldar or Liber Orks (or should that be Codex Eldar and Codex Orks?) down the line to flesh some of these races out.
That would be in a similar tradition to D&D where the average example of a race was featured in the Monster Manual with additional sourcebooks, such as Lords of Madness and the Liber Mortis, fleshing out the details and expanding the options.

I thought the description was pretty Umber Hulk-y.
But it turns out that Ambulls are much, much more frightening.
Did someone say they're docile? It looks very angry to me.
Sounds like a perfect creature to put against creature or to harass pc's with on a Deathworld.
I think alot of those creatures will be in there as well as things we have been missing such as:
* Your basic Ogryn (incl. Ripper Gun)
* Basic Eldar (incl. Shuriken weapons)
Perhaps some of the Unique anathema in the system and creatures mentioned in previous supplements but expended.

You think an Ambull is scary, hell you should see what Nerd King looks like under that Old Worlder skin he's wearing:
That's sacry.

That would be great.
Futility
Move him into the sun
Gently its touch awoke him once,
At home, whispering of fields unsown.
Always it woke him, even in France,
Until this morningthis snow.
If anything might rouse him now
The kind old sun will know.
