Yes, it is certainly possible. See the forum posts on the Tau and Tyranid mods which are already out.

No, the Tau and Tyranid mods, are not new factions, just units of Tau, and Tyranid that can be used by Orks or Imperial.
When I said new factions a mean can create you new one, and that faction could be show in the purchase menu.

I was try to modify the "factions.whdat" file, but when I did, then the editor dont load.. I dont know if Im doing something bad or not.

# This file contains the list of factions present in the game
# Zero-based index of a faction in the list is used to reference this faction throughout the game.
# So, it is recommended to add new entries to the end of the list.

FormatVersion 1

# Factions table
# Faction Short name Experience icon Infantry death prefix
Steel Legion imperial_guard icon_experience_imperial IG
Orks orks icon_experience_orks ORK
Blood Angels blood_angels icon_experience_imperial SM
Salamanders salamanders icon_experience_imperial SM
Ultramarines ultramarines icon_experience_imperial SM
Steel Legion 2 imperial_guard_2 icon_experience_imperial IG
Orks 2 orks_2 icon_experience_orks ORK
Mechanichum mechanichum icon_experience_imperial SM

This is not enough. You must edit more files. Take a look here to have an idea: http://www.slitherine.com/forum/viewtop ... 47&t=45057
But either with this is not enough i think. Because i have managed to add new faction to the editor but not in game. You must edit development codes and create new gui to make your work apply correctly. So as far as i know, its simply not possible
it is a good day to die
