Faction Neutral Race

what i mean by the title is a race that can join both order or Destro when the person makes their char, at which point they must stick with it.

basically the Imperial race in Elder Scrolls Online

my suggestion for the race: Vampire

Vampires are portrayed as opportunists. helping the empire and whoever when it suits them, and killing them when it suits them.

the 'classes' could be the bloodlines, Blood Dragon (Tank) Necrarch (magic DPS/healer) Strigoi/lahmian (DPS) and Von Carstein (magic DPS/healer)

was unsure which would make the better magic DPS ro healer, necrarchs have lots of magic but are fragile, like a healer tpyically is, but a von carstein would be similar to a DOK

The amount of work to pull off something like this should be measured in months, if not years, so... It probably won't happen.

This is what retail tried to do with Skaven, which I remember was recieved with mixed reactions. As many felt, that a third faction was needed, not a race for both factions.

But, as Hargrim points out, the amount of work to model, animate, and build the race will take years.

There is neutral races in the game, Tomb kings and Ogres.

Order: Dwarfs, Empire and High Elves
Destruction: Greenskins, Chaos and Dark Elves
Neutral: Tomb Kings, Ogres and Skavens (really, skavens are a destruction army but is for balance xD)

But with models, animations etc ... the client would need changes (assembler or data files) and the game would need new quests, items, skills, etc..... is a lot of work, would be nice but is "impossible".

How to would works the 3rd faction? They would have order and destruction like enemies? They would join in one of main factions? Ogres principally are mercenaries, Tomb Kings hate all other races and skavens..... are skavens xD

I think it would be more simple to just add two new races: Skaven for Destruction and Lizardmen for Order. Ofc lorewise this makes no sense, and this game is not canon anyway.

But even that is YEARS of work, and I know it will never be added to the game. I don't think there is even Lizardmen models.

Anyway, it's a just a wet dream of mine.

I think devs just must make a PVE open world, where order and des can farm same pq in one party. New races requires a lot of resources and dev time.

PvE/RvR? Impossible, stop dreaming.

SCs? Maybe. If we could use some of Wrath of Heroes SCs. Maybe even just one (Mourkain Temple, or Arena), where we have 3 groups filled with players from both factions. A 6v6v6 SC would be amazing.

Yes.
If there is ONLY ONE race in all the warhammer world that deserves to be called "Order", it's the Lizardmen.
Basically, they have been created to specifically fight against Chaos.
And to terraform the planet, but that's just in the case of the Slanns.
