Ok, agree. Still you've given no reason why a full force of World
Eaters, Death Guard or whatever may not be fielded when the actual
background permits to do so.

Yep, that's your opinion... mine is different. The history of 40k is
simply evolved, new races are born and some things changed. Comes to
my mind that according to your ideas, I cannot field TAU or C'tan
armies either (I agree with you that they squeezed them into the
background only to sell the pieces, but they are still there and I
should have the possibility to play with them too).
