I have an inquiry on this topic, Xeno races that predate or were created during the War in Heaven. Personally I beleive it should be allright for a race to be created during it (by the old ones inorder to fight the Necrontyr, but even then it should be with special circumstances as a race created for this purpose would probably become super OP and on the level with the Orks and Eldar). But Xeno's that predate the War in Heaven, somehow survived the war and the enslaver plauge, then survived a tonne of years to make it to the modern day of the 41st Millinium, I think they shoulden't be allowed. So yeah, races created for the war in heaven should be allowed (but maybe they have to get admin permission first or something?), but I reckon it should be banned to create a race that came into existance before the War, and has survived into 40k.
