How much enemy variety will there be?

[Cap'n Salty]

I'm impressed by the gameplay I've seen so far. But I'm worried that you may only fight the same 2 enemies the whole game (fodder tyranid, armored tyranid). Are there other enemies confirmed for the game or is it just those two?

Chaos marine thousand sons are confirmed, which might also mean traitor guard alongside them like in SM1. There is also what looks to be Tzeentch's Tzaangors at the end of the coop trailer.

For Tyranids confirmed so far we have:

Hormagaunts (small melee guys)
Termagaunts (small melee guys with guns)
Tyranid warriors (including swords, ranged guns, and whips variations of them)
Floating Zoanthrope (buffs the other nids giving them glowing red eyes)
The silhouette of what looks to be some kind of assassin stealth Lictor or Leaper
And finally spore mines which may also mean that there is a Biovore to fire them.

There's definitely gonna be more tyranids and chaos enemies than that but that's a solid amount of variety already.

We may possibly get enemies from the new tyranid range too which has some wild designs and would make some very crazy fights.

In the Warhammer Community screenshots, some Thousand Sons use assault cannons, so they could be Scarab Occult terminators

That's pretty cool! Really looking forward to playing this now. Thanks for the info.

I'd be surprised if we didn't get genestealers, that's a classic for the Tyranid roster.

I don't remember seeing Zoanthropes (or Neurotyrants like someone else said on another forum).

In the first Space Marine we had:

Traitor Guardsmen
Chaos pyskers
Bloodletters - Daemons
Blight drones
Chaos tactical marines
Chaos Devastators with plasma cannons
Chaos Champions with daemon mauls

If the chaos faction is Thousands Sons they will change that to have a more Tzeectch feel. Like replacing bloodletters with Horrors and drones with disk riders. I would be expecting more magic like fireballs and summoning portals.
