Rackham announces:

In about two months, AT-43 range will welcome the last army announced in the rulebook: the Karmans. While we are all awaiting the first miniatures and the Army book, here is an extract from the history of this species!

Karman
At the origin of everything, before which the Karmans believe nothing can be envisaged, is the creation of their species: the Elevation, the time their creators granted them a state of consciousness. The Karmans know they are born from the will of another species, the Therians. Before that nothing else existed other than the Karmic causes that led to their creation. The Elevation took place in BT-100 056. The forerunner species of the Karmans, the gorilla beringei beringei of Sol III, had disappeared many thousands of years before, but its genetic code had been saved in the EMI grid. As part of one of their plans, the Therians gave birth to the Karmans based on this species. With subtle alterations to their genome the Karmans were taller, stronger and were able to develop into an advanced civilization. The Therians left the Karmans on Karma and gave them a language, an embryonic society and the knowledge required to create tools. The Therians steered the development of their creatures by providing the Karmans with information and technology to build an industrial society. In less than three centuries, the Karmans plowed through their civilization's Prehistory and Antiquity, supported both by the Therians and by their own intelligence and curiosity, which are both highly developed. In under four centuries, the Karmans reached the industrial age. This is when a historic event led to the emancipation of the Karmans.
