Legion Command Squads are selected from the most worthy and trusted veterans of the Legiones Astartes. These chosen warriors have access to their Legion's finest wargear – such as fine, artificer-wrought suits of MKIII 'Iron' armour, renowned for its bulky but durable design – and accompany their commanders to war as bodyguards and adjutants, carrying one of their Legion’s great standards as a...

Legion Command Squads are selected from the most worthy and trusted veterans of the Legiones Astartes. These chosen warriors have access to their Legion's finest wargear – such as fine, artificer-wrought suits of MKVI 'Corvus' armour, offering advanced lightweight protection – and accompany their commanders to war as bodyguards and adjutants, carrying one of their Legion’s great standards as a...

Solar Auxilia battleforces utilise rank upon rank of armoured infantry, aided by compact support weapons, and heavily armed walkers which allow them to bring their firepower to bear in the close confines they typically operate in. On occasion, more specialised veterans accompany the tercios, while phalanxes of armoured vehicles roll into place to obliterate the most tenacious foes.

The Legiones Astartes utilised a combined arms doctrine, deploying potent transhuman Legionaries supported by mobile artillery pieces, heavily armoured Dreadnoughts, and fast-moving Scimitar jetbikes and Outriders, accompanied by anti-grav speeders, and armoured battle tanks mounting heavier weaponry.

Avariant of the Storm Eagle, the Fire Raptor gunship was created to provide overwhelming aerial firepower to Legiones Astartes assault forces. These relentless attack craft can reduce any target to ruin in a devastating rain of bolt shells and high explosive missiles, and are in use amongst virtually every Legion.

The Xiphon is a void and atmosphere capable combat craft with an ancient lineage, with many unique variations on the base design encountered on lost human colonies across the galaxy. Potent and heavily armed, the Xiphon had largely fallen out of frontline service by the end of the Great Crusade – tens of thousands of retired aircraft were swiftly pressed into service once more with the outbreak...

The Storm Eagle Assault Gunship is a dedicated tactical strike unit primarily used deployed in a Legion's orbital assault and for low-level ground attack. Rugged and durable, the power of the Storm Eagle lies in its versatility, serving capably as a long-range transport, orbital shuttle, scout and as an interceptor in addition to its primary roles.

The Avenger Strike Fighter is a superlative ground attack aircraft designed to operate alongside Solar Auxilia cohorts during planetary invasions. Named for its primary armament, the Avenger bolt cannon, the Avenger excels at performing strafing runs on enemy armoured formations, raking the vulnerable weaker sides of their armoured hulls with mass-reactive bolt shells. The Avenger can also be...

The Thunderbolt is a heavy fighter combining devastating strike potential with a high degree of speed and manoeuvrability. They form the bulk of the Imperialis Armada’s intra-atmosphere fighter aircraft. While the Thunderbolt's primary role is air superiority, its most famous characteristic, is sheer resilience – it is not unusual for a Thunderbolt to return to base with damage that would have...

Knights Acastus are among the most heavily armed and armoured of all Knight chassis in service. Each is a symbol of favour by the lords of the Machine Cult and even the greatest Knight Households cannot claim more than a handful. The Knight Porphyrion variant is a towering behemoth possessed of size and power which rivals that of a Scout-class Titan, capable of sundering armoured formations,...

The Knight Castigator is a Household’s answer to hordes of lesser foes. Armed with the fearsome Castigator pattern bolt cannon, this Knight is capable of obliterating infantry formations in a thunderous rain of mass reactive explosions and whirling power blades, and carving apart light vehicles with ease. The Cerastus Knight Acheron is a fearsome sight on the battlefield, a reaper of lives...

Even in the glory days of the 31st Millennium, many worlds of the Imperium favoured a gothic aesthetic in their cities. Towering spires encrusted with gargoyles, domed roofs and vaulted windows featured heavily in their construction, lending the Imperium's colonies a distinctive look and feel.

Even in the Age of Darkness, the monumental architecture of the fledgling Imperium tends towards impressive edifices, a combination of baroque and gothic elements mixed with militaristic structures designed to stand in even the harshest environments.

Leman Russ Strike Squadrons are formations of heavily armoured and reliable battle tanks, armed with devastating cannons. Deployed in support of Solar Auxilia Infantry Sections, as an armoured spearhead, or flanking attack groups, they are a vital asset in the Solar Auxilia's armoury.

Predators are perhaps the best-known and most widespread Legiones Astartes battle tanks. Augmented with superior armour and firepower, these strike vehicles sacrifice any troop transport capacity in favour of ammunition and generators for their formidable weapon systems. The result is an effective and versatile tank of the line, with an excellent balance of speed, firepower, and protection.

The Brands are regarded as an especially ruthless tribe of Darkoath warriors. To command such esteem demands malign strength and scant pity. Gunnar Brand and his Oathbound are champions of just such fell calibre. They seek to earn the strength offered by the Dark Gods in the traditional manner of Darkoath warlords – by swearing to complete the most gruelling and bloody-minded of deeds in their...

Genestealer Cults are fanatical sects of alien hybrids that infest Human worlds beyond count. They lurk unseen for generations, hiding and preparing in the dark until their Day of Ascension arrives. Then they rise in a tide of mutated acolytes, turncoat soldiery, and predatory xenos monstrosities to tear down those they see as oppressors.

Shield‑Captains are among the greatest warriors in the Imperium. No matter which weapons they wield, they display absolute mastery of them. Their tactical and strategic abilities are superlative, and they read the ebb and flow of a war at a glance before directing their forces accordingly.
