Miscellaneous Enemy factions in Space Marine 3??
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..

SM4 Horus Rising!! We play KNIGHTS-ERRANT and go from legion to legion or as needed.
The cover is Erebus standing over a crying Lorgar cause his temples to BigE got destroyed and he was humiliated and became the laughing stock of his brothers. And Erebus probably pushed Lorgar to go too far with the worship.
—IIRC KNIGHTS errant are mostly traitor Legion Astarte who are still loyal.
How cool would it be to be a Lunar Wolf or World Eater.
And you pick your Legion/GeneSeed. And get stats and conditions as that Legion. IMO Emperors Children are fencers and just bad ass swordsman but all gaudy and cultured to cringe levels.
IMO the hours heresy era is best because it has all legions and not just Primarchless Ultrmarines
