Perhaps, but in actuallity it is possible for almost any warband to appear in the next game and to still include the Thousand Sons/Rubric Marines as a specialist type troop for the chaos faction much like the Khornate Berserkers, Noise Marines and Plague marines from the previous games. As well as this, including the Thousand Sons as a specialist type troop could also allow the DoW writers to have a play about with the story, with what ever chaos faction in the game seeming like the primary threat but in-fact the Sons Troops, perhaps being hired like the Red Corsairs are manipulating the warbands actions in the back-ground, sort of like Sindri in the first game, to get to the Blood Ravens which might sound old but I sure the writers could come up with something better.

It would also allow Tzeentch to have the spotlight for once rather than Khorn all the time who often apppears to spend more time planning than actually what his primary duty is. It would be nice to have the Changer of Ways as the new greater demon unit and it would be interesting to see the Blood Ravens reaction to the discovery of their origins other that concluding with the same "Purge the Heretic" ideal that they have followed in previous games even when faced with tough decisions like when Kyras turned out to be a pawn of chaos. It would be kind of cool if because of this that the Blood Ravens fight more amongst themselves than they do their enemies leading to some more Ideological problems that the last game failed to address, and for that to lead to the return of the corruption system used in Chaos Rising to confront the player with Decisions that should be more difficult than they were in the in the Second DoW II expansion. And I don't just mean "for better weapons" type decisions which are easy to make.

As well as this, it would also allow other races in the game to have more motivations above Kill/Control/Save/Liberate, for example If Eldar attacks became more frequent during the campaign before the presence of the Sons then it could be said that the Eldar are afraind that when the Sons do appear that the Ravens might join the forces of the great enemy and so on.
