Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 has released its latest update and brings a new type of enemy. However, these new foes are likely to cause quite a bit of cursing. At the same time, you now have more options available, at least on Steam.
What kind of enemies are these? With Patch 14, the Scarab Cult Terminators have entered the game, or more precisely: their Sorcerers. As part of the Thousand Sons, most of the Chaos Marines of the Scarab Cult have also lost their … “existence.” Literally.
The Thousand Sons are already among the most powerful wizards in the universe, the Scarab Cult is the elite within the Legion, and their Sorcerers are the leaders among them. What they are capable of is demonstrated by a user on Reddit:
How strong are the Terminators: To explain a bit about how strong these Sorcerers are: In the tabletop game, a single one of these characters can take on 3-5 Space Marines. In the lore, one alone can wipe out an entire squad of Astartes, which in most cases consists of 10 Space Marines depending on the setup.
Scarab Cult Terminator Sorcerers are not just tough Chaos Marines, but, as the name suggests, wear Terminator armor. Armor of Space Marines alone is already terrible, but Terminator armor turns them into literal tanks.
The new type of enemy can appear as a miniboss in the co-op operations of Space Marine 2 and is likely to pose quite a challenge for the squad of three Astartes. But more cannot be expected.
Space Marine 2 gets easier mod access on Steam
In addition to Patch 14, there is now also workshop integration for Space Marine 2 on Steam. Mods already existed before, but now they are easier to integrate into the game. A single click is enough.
As explained by PCGamer, among the mods are options to increase the squad limit to 10 as well as introduce new classes or weapons into the game. There are also mods for balance adjustments or simply skins, such as for enemies.

If you are interested in the Scarab Cult, you should definitely look into Ahzek Ahriman, a Supreme Sorcerer of the Thousand Sons and one of the most powerful champions of Chaos. He is responsible for what has happened to his Legion: The Emperor is cool and all, but do you know these 6 crazy Chaos Champions from Warhammer?
