If the next installment in the series indeed features Necrons as the main faction, it would bring diversity to the battlefield, as they are a stark contrast to the organic horror of the Tyranids. This will add a new layer of depth to the gameplay, requiring players to think differently about each situation. Based on the lore ofSpace Marine 2, it also logically makes sense for them to be the next faction.

He is also enjoying the latest title in theWarhammer 40Kuniverse, especially the PVP mode, and was somewhat upset that he couldn’t finish the campaign.
