* StarfishAliens: The Rak'Gol, a new canon addition. Described as "near-primal, cannibalistic hunters" in ''Edge of the Abyss'', these [[VertebrateWithExtraLimbs eight-limbed (four arms, four legs)]] xenos have nonetheless mastered space travel and combat, and can even make crude bionics. Attempts to communicate are fruitless, and upon capture the Rak'Gol simply go into a psychotic frenzy that lasts until they escape, expire from any injuries they might sustain, or until their captors put them out of their misery.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Traynor's Rest was once a wealthy and happy world whose human population had prospered for at least twenty thousand years through a symbiotic alliance with a native alien race. Then Imperial Missionary (later Saint) Genevieve Almace arrived and, disgusted by this, incited a seven year long genocidal war by manipulating the human population with lies and slander. Centuries later, the planet is an impoverished, technologically decaying backwater whose infrastructure has never recovered, leaving the populace categorically worse off than they were before the Imperium arrived. But at least they now have faith in the God-Emperor.

** Armour is a mixed blessing for Kroot characters.

Normally they count on those to DodgeTheBullet and [[DefendCommand Parry The Sword]] more than they do armour to shield them.

The brewing conflict between the houses of Winterscale and Chorda are probably the biggest example of this in the Kronus Expanse.

Even the Ork enthusiasm for [[HumongousMecha gargants]] is more restrained here, with the maddest of the Ork mekboyz preferring to focus their effort into giant Orky dreadnoughts as idols of Gork and Mork rather than the more land-locked preference of Orks elsewhere. There are more traditional Orks around, though, and some of them would very much like to turn Port Wander into their playground. Stopping them (especially where the Navy can see you) is a great way to make friends in high places, and perhaps lower prices on ship upgrades.
