The Gate Masters of the Celestial Cities lead the Jade Warriors, the professional soldiers of Grand Cathay. Like their soldiers, a Gate Master is trained to defend the walls of their city. They are a vital link in enacting the will of their Lord Magistrate, who trusts their Gate Masters above all other officers in their armies.

The vast nation of Grand Cathay is one of the oldest civilisations in the World of Legend, rivalling the great realms of the Elves or Dwarfs in its scope and power. It is a harmonious land that has survived largely unchanged for thousands of years – an empire that stands eternally as a bulwark against the evils of the world.

Charged with the defence of the Great Bastion, the Armies of Grand Cathay are experienced and battle-tested warriors. For centuries, they have kept the legions of the Ruinous Powers at bay. Though the Empire of the Celestial Dragon lies far from the nations of the Old World, Cathayan merchants have plied the ocean waves for hundreds of years, and vast armies of Jade Warriors and Lancers pledge...

Across the Old World, mighty armies clash for territory or even mere survival. Elves, Dwarfs, Beastmen, and other, stranger creatures form ranks and march towards glory, or death.

The Silver Helms are seen as the exemplars of martial grace and valour to which young Elves should aspire. They are willing to throw themselves into the most dangerous of battles, understanding that glory awaits those who prevail, and they are confident enough in their prowess as warriors to believe they can succeed, no matter the odds.

The armies of the Wood Elf Realms rise up naturally in times of strife. Wide-ranging troops converge on the source of the conflict as the common folk take up their longbows and spears to march under the banner of their Glade Lords. Even the lowliest warriors are possessed of grace and skill, making them a deadly foe to face.

Araloth was prophesied to become a fearless warrior who would protect his people from a coming darkness. He fulfilled his destiny as a great hero among his people, even being named as royal champion by Queen Ariel. He is accompanied at all times by his loyal hunting hawk, Skaryn, who once saved his life.

The Eternal Guard are responsible for the defence of the forest of Athel Loren during the long winter months. Only skill on the field of battle can earn an honoured place within their ranks, for their duty is a difficult and dangerous one.

Glade Guard form the core of Wood Elf armies, for all are trained in the arts of the longbow as soon as they can hold one. In Athel Loren, archery is not just a tool of battle, but one of many hunter’s skills vital for survival.

The Glade Riders are perhaps the greatest light cavalry of the Old World – their Elven reflexes allow them to perform an incredible variety of seemingly reckless acts that are far beyond the abilities of younger races. They routinely survive their escapades unscathed through a formidable combination of graceful skill and unflappable confidence.

The Wood Elves made the great forest of Athel Loren their home in the ancient days, and have defended it from Orcs, Beastmen, Dwarfs, and anyone else who would violate their sacred groves. Rejecting heavy armour, they are light on their feet, moving through the forest with ease and grace to ambush their clumsy foes.

The Daemon Prince Zadophon is a potent sorcerer and a monstrous warrior, terrifying to behold. His presence bends the weave of fate into forms more fortuitous for Tzeentch’s designs, and his empyric rituals are made all the more potent should he consume a sliver of soulstuff from a fallen underling. He is accompanied by Kaa'skrek, a Tzaangor Shaman who unleashes ferocious psychic bombardments...

The Goremongers are rabid cultists who have seen the glory of Khorne daemons and lived to tell the tale. When they go to battle, they wield a wide variety of weapons, from great double-handed chainaxes to blood-letting knives, harpoons, and autopistols – arms to better let the blood flow.

Tarantula Sentry Guns are utilitarian weapons platforms, often used to bolster exposed flanks or rear line positions to free up the Adeptus Astartes troops. Little more than a sturdy base with a mobile turret, they are designed to mount several different weapons as needs demand. Though simple, they are effective when deployed well.

Rapier carriers are semi-automated tracked weapons carriers with on-board targeting systems and power generators. They are designed to mount support weaponry too large and cumbersome for even the superhuman strength of a Space Marine to carry. Common armaments include quad heavy bolters for anti-personnel duty, while less commonly, more exotic weaponry such as the graviton cannon are mounted...

Rapier carriers are semi-automated tracked weapons carriers with on-board targeting systems and power generators. They are designed to mount support weaponry too large and cumbersome for even the superhuman strength of a Space Marine to carry. Common armaments include laser destroyer arrays for anti-armour duties, and so-called ‘thudd gun’ multi-launchers for siege warfare and suppressive fire.

Sanctifier kill teams wear no uniform and follow no formal discipline. Little more than a rabble of zealous cultists, they go to war wielding a wild array of weapons, most of which incorporate some form of flamer with which to purify the unclean.
