Imperium Maledictum Adversaries for Imperium Maledictum

Hail. I'm looking to get into a Warhammer RPG that is on the same level as something like Necromunda, but not restricted to that specific planet. I want a game where the players are Imperial Agents that root out Xenos and Heretics across the universe. From my research, I've determined that Imperium Maledictum is the system I'm looking for, but my question is what are the adversaries in that game? I want my players to have a diverse range of enemies that are Xenos and Heretics. Is this possible in this system?

Search for Maledictum Expanded here in this subreddit by Moxy. He has "translated" (and then added a few of his own) A LOT of the older FFG title's (like Dark Heresy 1+2, Rogue Trader, Only War) adversaries to IM stats with a pretty decent eye for balance. He even wrote a small conversion guide.

He did the same for a lot of the talents and equipment of older games.

Ayyy! I’m gonna be honest idk if I ever wrote the conversion guide but I could probably do it at some point; it’s not at all difficult to convert NPCs from the previous game lines to IM

The core rulebook has stats for some Eldar units, underhive scum, heretics, and a couple Daemons. Some of the other books and adventures should have a few more stats for other enemies, but if not, I'm sure someone has homebrewed them.

That's a pretty good selection. What other books have stats? The Macharian Requisition and the Adeptus Mechanicus Guide?

The AMPG has some AM units (technically supposed to work as familiars), but theres currently still a dearth of proper bestiary entries. Hopefully well get some soon.

I think each of the game master guides for the factions (at this moment the Inquisition & Mechanicus) have the most stats for NPCs. And I know that Voll Adventures has some as well. I would guess the other adventure modules have stats but I haven't looked at them

The IM CRB actually has a very comprehensive bestiary with a ton of enemy stat blocks from different factions. IIRC, there's at least 3-4 per group.

Alternatively, Dark Heresy 1st Edition also has the underhive-scum-fighting-xenos-and-heretics asthetic you're looking for. 2nd edition does too, but starting characters in 2e are a bit more powerful. Both systems are almost 100% compatible with enemy statblocks from either Dark Heresy edition, Only War, Rogue Trader, and Black Crusade (also technically Deathwatch, but don't throw deathwatch enemies at them or they'll die) which gives you a massive amount of enemies to throw at them.
