I would actually prefer if we would not get the exact same races that we had in every other Vanilla DoW. Why not Tau instead of Eldar or Necrons instead of Orcs?

The start (Czevak quote or whatever his name is) made me think about tyranids ; the quote is about tyranid invasion in the lore if I reckon well. Maybe the campaign is about space marine, eldars and orks vs tyranids.
Inquisitor Bronslaw Czevak is heavily involved with the Eldar and the Black library
In fact, The Webway made him more younger than he was
he's 433 years old but he looks like 30 years old man now
So, prepare yourselves for a Tzeenthian Enemy This time, GeeDubs is giving so much love for the BLOODY MAGPIES lately, that they even received a Special Character and Book on Deathwatch
Also they are with Odds with the Inquisition, mainly after Kyras, so the inquisition is keeping an eye on them in case of any sign of Kyras/Daemon of Maledictum or Ulkair Taint
also i hope they keep the superb job that they Did With DoW II cast

I have quite literally spent over 10 grand on models and paints/glues/tools/etc for the hobby, and surely thousands of hours. But the video games suck, much to my dismay.
You like my HT?
And the games are awesome. I've spent over 500 hours on DoW II alone according to Steam.

Apparently we always got the space marines and other races/factions due to licensing issues.

Come on boyz letz smash deez git and den loot da bodie!
Seriously Orks are the greatest thing in Warhammer, Eldar are quite popular and well... you could argue about Necs or Nids but Tau? Seriously?
I found the Necrons quite dull in Dark Crusade. The Tau were kind of boring story-wise, but they were really fun to play. Tyranids are super cool, but I hate their place in the story.

They are the top selling army for 40K for like forever. That is why there are like 35 different versions of them and an evil faction using similar design. People love dat power armor.

Always need Orks. Would like Tau, though.
remember geeDubs since the late end of 2016 has someowhat.... changed
40k starter sets are now being sold on every toy store for kids
they are LISTENING and talking to everyone in the community on Facebook and Twitter
Epic, Gorkamoka and all old 40k games including BFG are back
in fact here's the entire stuff with GW(took from 1d4chan wiki, they update it all time)
And then suddenly...
It was not expected, we couldn't have known, since the resignation of supreme leader Tom Kirby there has started to appear a pattern, sporadic reports of real discounts at Forgeworld and Black Library, and then, in the last days of 2015 it has been revealed that major changes are coming, the sudden resurrection of specialist games, Games Workshop releasing starter sets with real saving, all around the internet neckbeards are discussing and watching, wondering what's going on, perhaps the new guy in charge has decided is time to take some contingencies for the inevitable demise of tabletop gaming with the ever increasing development in 3D printing and the emergence of new alternatives. It seems like the boxes are a replacement for the old Battleforce packs, and while you don't get as many units as the old box, they are cheaper and usually come with a good mix of units to start a small army.
And now, there's an official (as in hosted and ran by the almighty GeeDubs themselves) Blood Bowl tournament going on at Warhammer World on May 21st. Truly these are strange times. GW also appears to be preparing to starting selling their product in toy stores (Toys-R-Us Etc.) as well as producing various Warhammer Merchandise such as pillows and journals (For Some Reason). Also now they've made a 40k starter set with simplified rules and all the paint you need to assemble the models. Clearly the sky is falling. (Also they've started making conversion tutorials and stuff, for some reason).
Did the Man Emperor of mankind showed up and put some order on the house?

Like comic books, their audience is aging and shrinking. They know they need to diversify or die. Listen and letting licencing is part of that. Also, all those PC small games, which are apparently pretty good.

Its crazy, but they seem to be listening. The Starter Boxes they have released have like $30 worth of free models in them, and they are even releasing a big Rules FAQ on Facebook right now, that is largely community driven. They are even listening to the fans about Age of Sigmar stuff, and trying to fix that debacle.

Except that's untrue and has been shown by other games, which had gladly taken spot that belonged to GW earlier, or even surpassed it on sales. I don't disagree with licensing, i am just talking about the tabletop stuff, many of the warhammer videogames had been great and really enjoyable for me.

Starter boxes were always like that, i haven't followed much of GW's path the last years, so i don't know if they removed the starter packs or something. Hell, the Tau one was a hell of an investment back in the day, i bought 4 of them.
Many of the problems that the game has are related to their support to their rules for me, which is extremely lacking and there is no amount of FAQin that can help Age of Sigmar, or their current Giant robot wars that is wh40k. And now that i managed to play other games thx to GW inability to playtest and write rules, there is no way i am going back.
