      Steam page says Space Marines, Eldar, Orks and Guard, there’s gonna be a looooot of DLC factions if they’re only launching with 4

          I guess the base story is a straight Empire vs Orks vs Eldar thing?

          Maybe Chaos are in but they’re not starting as a playable faction? End game crisis that shows up at the late game?

          Maybe they do a Rome Total War thing like the civil war and split the empire because of people corrupted by chaos.

            Nah, that would be 30K if they did that. Possible expansion if anything.

            My money is on them being released later or being part of a larger end-game crisis condition like they were originally in TW:Warhammer, then playable for the players later after a bunch of DLC, updates, and possibly even a second game.

            Edit: This also fits in neatly with Abbadon’s Crusades which were pretty much the driving plotline for most of early 40K before the nids were introduced. Nids as an endgame crisis would really sell the game for me.

        im predicting they will follow what they did with total warhammer fantasy and make Faction dlcs and lord vs lord dlcs, the first one will probably be a chaos faction one

          Chaos are so boriiiiing though I’m so over them, they’re exactly the same as Fantasy.

          They need to do the nids. They’re the best thing 40k has that truly differentiates from fantasy.

            I will always love Tzeetch no matter the setting. Pretending everything is going according to plan while you are really just rolling dice and pulling strategems out of your ass will never get old to me.

            yea a tyranid faction with horde mechanics would be better than chaos but sadly they are the most popular, maybe they could add the Dark Mechanicum

          That’s all so boring but I fear you’re right. Tau will be a late addition with some sort of mechanic involving turning worlds I assume, given that they’re the multicultural empire.

            Tau could have something like propaganda and have the ability to turn world to their side by supporting rebellions and probably can use units from other factions via auxiliaries, im mostly hoping for necrons who will probably focus on only building on tomb world kinda like wood elfs in TWW
