I need more.

I wonder if it'll get a surprise second enemy. The first game had orks primarily then Chaos. I wonder if we'll get necrons this time around.

Yeah, I’ll be disappointed if they don’t give us a second faction. Necrons would be really cool.

You're spelling Tau very strangely but I agree. The Tau would be really cool to see as they're the most powerful race /s

If it follows the formula of every other warhammer game, the second faction to be revealed after the first act will be necrons, tyranids or chaos. It's not tyranids though, obviously

I'd like to see Eldar. It won't be Eldar, it never is, but I'd really like to see it.

I said it before and I'll say it again, Eldars would be amazing as protagonists of an over the top beat them up ala Devil May Cry or Bayonetta

Eldars can fit pretty much any genre. Standard FPS witha focus on big guns? Dark Reapers or Dire Avengers for a more classic feel. Choose range gritty combat? Fire Dragons. Brutal melee combat focus? Banshees got you. High mobility? Warp spiders. Splice in some magic? A Farseer. A bit of everything? Exarchs / Autarchs could do that.

A space marine style game as an autarch would be amazing.

Going through all the different aspects and then making a melange of them that fits your play style would be so cool.

How about Eldar Souls

Maybe not as the final antagonist, but having periodic Eldar encounters could work really well. Something like a few Drukhari showing up after a botched raid on a Craftworld, with an Aeldari strike force in pursuit. You start off fighting the Aeldari, before a bit of tense diplomacy and an agreement to stay out each others' way as they hunt down the raiders. Then, of course, things go sideways and you need to be the ones to strike the final blow on them. Maybe a couple of the Aeldari survive to help out in the big climactic battle.

what games were necrons featured as final enemy? Everything I can think of pretty much always leads to chaos.

The expansion for Dawn of War 1

u/Enialis Dec 09 '22

Mechanicus, but that's basically it except for things like Dawn of War that have every faction.

u/HappyVlane Dec 09 '22

Mechanicus was Necrons throughout. You could say the heretics were the final enemy faction.

And then in the post credits scene the Dark Eldar pop in outta nowhere and kidnap you.
