'Our game is bleeding players! Quick break out the 40k collab before our next government mandated 6 month break!' The kicker is that the lazy swedes won't be doing the work themselves and likely outsource it anyway.

Tbf Games Workshop dropped a lot of other stuff on the same day as the collab announcement, so I think it's rather just on schedule then Arrowhead pushing the panic button. Though they're for sure rubbing their hands, they know they will capitalize off the collab heavily.

The developers have said that they're big fans of 40k way before this collaboration happened, the Hulk is basically a Diet Coke Dreadnought and they wear a lot of their inspiration on their arm. Helldivers? Helljumpers? They're just fans of military sci-fi shit. I took the mini painting as a hint at what might be in the pack since they've said they don't want to do shit with Space Marines so we're 100% getting something to do with the Guardsmen.
The lazy swedes would never do this but the Tau would be a good fit as an enemy faction. They already have the cyborg AI being good at taking cover and being sneaky bastards and battlesuits could focus on firepower and mobility instead of durability like the devastators. Maybe for the reinforce mechanic a Manta could fly overhead and drop battlesuits, hover tanks, or devilfish with infantry in them to land with their jump jets (this is a monkey's paw. Arrowhead would have the Manta shoot at you as it flies over the map).
