Every Faction in Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2
The campaign in Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 features three key armies. These factions tell the gameās story, and with that being the case fans should be warned, this list of factions does include mild spoilers for the gameās campaign mode.
Space Marines
It should be no surprise to anybody that the Space Marines appear in Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 since they are the faction which it is named after. During the campaign, you will meet soldiers of all different ranks along with several other more impressive units that unleash their fury on the battlefield.
Youāll encounter plenty of Space Marine Drop Pods and fight alongside Razorback, Land Raiders, and even Dreadnaughts. If youāre a tabletop player who has an army of Space Marines then there will be plenty of cameos for you to pick out during the gameās runtime.
Tyranids
The Tyranids are the first major force that youāll encounter in battle during Space Marine 2, and there are several unique units you must beat. Monsters that youāll face include Zoanthrope, Spore Mines, Rippers, Termagant, Hormagaunt, Tyranid Prime, Ravener, Lictor, and even Carnifex.
Youāll be gunning through hordes of these enemies so we expect that youāll be familiar with each unit and how to beat them in no time.
Chaos Space Marines
The Chaos Space Marines are the third and final faction that you will encounter in Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2. This faction of fallen Space Marines harnesses the demonic power of Chaos, so you wonāt just encounter soldiers, but Chaos Demons also.
While there are many armies of Chaos Space Marine, the one that appears specifically in this story is the Thousand Sons. Youāll see all members of the Thousand Sons combat patrol alongside incredible demonic beasts like the Heldrake, and many more.
If youāre a fan of the Chaos Space Marines faction army then thereās a lot to like about the campaign in Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2.
