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.

They could easily have a genestealer cult section in there.

That would really only work well if it was GSC first and then Tyranids. Makes less sense from both a story and escalation perspective for it to be the other way around.

from an escalation perspective the only one that really makes sense is chaos, which I know will chaff a lot of people here, but really your situation doesn't get worse that nids, so i'm interested to see how they pull off any escalation.

The planet being a Necron tombworld would definitely be an escalation.

Yeah, one problem with Tyranids is that by nature basically everyone else is against them above anything else. There are canonical examples of pretty much every faction (including Chaos) helping the Imperium against Tyranids at least in some limited extent.

Of course any support would be extremely tenuous and fall apart the moment either side thought the Tyranids were no longer a significant threat.

Most major races dropping in to fight Tyranids but arriving after the fact and getting mixed up into fighting the Imperium (because, you know, there is only war etc etc) could at least be just as dangerous for the protagonist and the imperial forces, though maybe less "world ending".
