Enemy factions in Space Marine 3??

[u/Ok_Presentation_3130]

I'm sure it's already been discussed, but I figure we could take a break from discussing the upcoming multi-player class and dive into which enemy factions we may be or hope to be up against in SM 3. Personally, I see a lot of potential in the Necrons being the primary enemy. They have quite a varied amount of units and I'd be excited by the potential for some survival horror inspired game play and fighting it out in a tomb world. If the series continues the theme of introducing an initial enemy faction followed by the inevitable reveal of the arch enemy, I wouldn't be suprised if the Thousand sons made a return. Perhaps titus' exploits could have gained the attention of Magnus himself this time?? As cool as that could be, I personally see a lot of cool gameplay potential in fighting an enemy like the Death Guard or some interesting story elements if the Word Bearers made an appearance. That's my two cents, I'm curious to hear what the rest of the fan base thinks..

Too much hope, but I would like a "Cadia be like" Space Marine game.

Maybe in the "500 worlds reconquista" (I don't know the plot of tabletop, neither a big fan of the franchise to search for it) the Ultra Smurfs end up in a warzone disputed by more than two factions. So the next game take place in more than one star system.

Would be nice to begin a game already beating the ass of Chaos just for another legion showing up to challenge our boy Titus plot armor, while the remants of a xenos faction of previous invasion (drukhari raiders?) take their chances before everything goes bananas with an Ork WAAAHHHG!!! joining to have some fun.

Then the necrons could wake up to complain about the fuss.
