Is New races possible?

Hey just wondered if its possible to implement more races?
I understand that its a humongus job but been pondering about it.
The most models are already in the game and for simplicity and balancing just rip of the classes from opposite side so all classes are available on both sides with 6 new races. Here is my thought:
Destruction:
skaven: startingpoint: darkelf, mount: giant rat or doomflayers
stormvermin=knight of the sun,
assassin=witchhunter,
Enginseer=engineer,
greyseer= runepriest.

Ogre kingdoms: startingpoint: greenskins, mount: Rhinox
tyrant= grudgebearer,
butcher=warriorpriest,
firebelly=brightwizard,
maneater=slayer.

Beastmen: startingpoint: chaos, mount: speedbonus
bestigor=swordmaster,
beastmaster=whitelion: gor with tuskgorpet,
brayshaman=archmage,
centigor or ungorRaider=shadowwarrior.

Order:
Brettonia: startingpoint:dwarf, mount: brettonian warhorse/Unicorn
paladin=chosen,
prophetess=scorceress,
damsel=discipleofkhaine,
grail fanatic=choppa.

Woodelves: startingpoint: empire, mount: stag
eternalguard=blackguard,
wardancer=witchelf,
spellsinger=zealot,
gladeguard=squigherder summons treesprites/dryads and treemanform.

Lizardmen: startingpoint: highelves, mount: cold ones
kroxigor=blackorc,
saurus old one= marauder tailweapon as different mutationstances,
skinkpriest= goblinshaman,
slaan=magus riding floatingthrone and summons salamanders and razordon as daemons.

The devs don't have direct access to the engine as it were. Maybe they could bodge it together. But I can guarantee it would be flawed. And the amount of work to implement it, not to mention the fact that introducing extra factions into the mix would require rebalancing of classes, abilities and RVR content.. Plus not to mention it would split the player base further, ultimately for very little gain. There are more important areas that need work, one of which is being worked on. That being the ability system, fixing bugs and making it easier for non-devs to do balance changes. This is huge because it means the devs can fix tons of bugs and move on with developing new systems without having to be directly involved in implementing balance changes, especially if they end up breaking something (as happens frequently with the current system).

Once that is done and working properly. I'd imagine we'd slowly start seeing balance changes be implemented over time. But the next big thing in my opinion that people have been vocal about is the RvR campaign (including cities) and matchmaking.

i'd love playing on vampire count, but it's just a dream that will never happen.

The only "third" faction possible is the nehekaran lords, but again, it's not going to happen.
