          the only other way i could think of incorporating the other races and imperial factions would add them as a supporting cast. but dark heresy if done properly could be a cracking game. or seriesof games.
          
          and the retinue idea is a great idea, the concept worked very well in the ravenor and eisenhorn novels.
