not much would be the simple answer....mainly because I can\'t stand that show....
although, that said, I like the idea. Several things though- such a force would be specializing in guerrilla warfare.

Ideas for new Army
I thought about an elite (human-like) race, a race that goes 0 tanks, but 100% fighting Elite-Warriors. The Saijan race popped into my mind. What do you think?
[Similar to the concept of Warhammer Fantasy Ogres]

Honsou's Astronomican WIP
Honsou's fiction:
Last Man Standing - 40K
Sanctus Ager - 40K
The Paths We Walk - 40K
Siege of Damath - 40K
On the Road to War - WHFB
The thing you need to realize about the astronomican is this: around here, insanity is no worse than the common cold.

A nice idea. I\'m guessing they\'d be uber powerful, elite units, but in very small numbers that can be overwhelmed easily by large forces with plenty of tanks.
I\'ve been thinking of doing a similar concept, except not based on Saiyans, rather on Predators.

To counter the fact that they could get pwned by horde-armies or tank companies, I thought of this:
Tha (saiyan) WH40k race has access to:
1) Force barriers (4+ inv. save per guy)
2) \"Hammerhand\" (S8 I3 CC-attack)

Re:Ideas for new Army
A trooper like that would cost about as much as a Grey Knight terminator in terms of cost. So you would have to think of some less powerful special rules or you will end up getting outnumbered by grey knights or deathwing forces!

well, for elite fighter circumstances, the daemon hunters (grey knights) are really good at shooting and fighting

Yes, but they die horribly to ordnance and plasma fire.

just use the daemonhunter army list and take grey knights (converted catachans?)

That\'s no fun! I remember doing Codex Dune back in the brown ages, and that was incredibly fun!!! Didn\'t take too long either!
Check it out silver if you\'re interested in writing an entire codex for these saiyan lookalikes, as the fremen are a very similar force, being in small numbers and the like:D
