Warhammer 40K

The Red Corsairs strike out in small bands of cruel warriors, raiding and pillaging where and when they want. They survive off scavenged assets from their conquered foes, constantly seeking to grow and take on larger prey. The Heretic Astartes often employ mortal cultists and beastmen to swell their numbers and take care of weaker enemies.

The Night Lords Legion fights in small warbands across the galaxy, using terror tactics to frighten their prey into submission before blades are even drawn. They are cruel and merciless, dispatching their victims in horrific displays of gore to chill the blood of their foes and cause them to break and rout.

The Kroot are pledged to the T'au Empire, but often form their own hunting parties that range far ahead of the main forces. They wield weapons unique to their culture, combining their own preferred tactics with advanced technology, and granting the T'au a contingent of melee specialists. Kroot is a general term for a range of different creatures, including everything from muscled Krootox beasts...

Aeldari Corsairs have cast aside the restraints of the Asuryani paths in favour of a life of adventure and glory. Known as the Anhrathe, they travel wherever they choose. Using their superior technology, grace, and prowess in battle, they raid the fleets of lesser beings, attack planetary targets in search of treasures, or simply destroy the forces of their sworn enemies.

As the Chaos Knights march to war, the skies darken with unnatural storms, and the ground shakes beneath the tread of towering war engines. When gathered beneath the banner of a suitably tyrannical or diabolical leader, entire lances of Chaos Knights can shatter armies and conquer worlds. These nightmarish machines – and their heretical pilots – are death to any who face them on the field of...

Marauder Horsemen ride powerful, foul-tempered beasts into battle. Once a rider has broken such a horse, it will remain loyal until death. Fed on a diet of human flesh and watered-down blood, these snorting, high-spirited steeds have a glint of intelligent menace in their eyes and will go berserk when engaged at close quarters.

Welcome to the Maelstrom – an expanse of swirling energy and detritus, where realspace overlaps with the twisted insanity of the Warp. It is a lair of outlaws and pirates, embittered exiles, and the dregs of the galaxy – Human, xenos, and worse besides. There is mutation and empyric corruption here, but also opportunities to seize priceless treasures. The Maelstrom is the haunt of Huron...

Concerning the methodology, doctrinal texts, and hierarchical structure of The Ancient Initiatic and Holy Order of the Templars of SigmarIt's a tale as old as time – obey the tenets, hunt witches, and bathe in the golden light of Sigmar's approval.

One of the first issued Tactical Dreadnought Armour patterns, Cataphractii suits are heavily protected with slablike ceramite pauldrons housing additional shield generators, augmenting the toughness of even a Legiones Astartes warrior. At the outbreak of the Horus Heresy, all Legions maintained significant numbers of Cataphractii Terminators among their ranks.

Breacher Squads are sent into the most hazardous spheres of warfare, such as boarding actions on spacecraft or the first wave of attackers into a fortress. Since the early days of the Great Crusade, specialised wargear and tactics have been under continuous development, including the use of heavy shields to resist enemy fire and specialised weaponry to bypass bulkheads and shatter strongpoints.

The Emperor’s Children are prideful traitors who have fallen victim to their depraved obsessions. Upon the battlefields of the 41st Millennium, they indulge these obsessions in a horrifyingly violent fashion. Always on the move, they are driven by their compulsive need to experience new thrills and, in honour of Slaanesh, they weave an exquisitely intricate and lurid tapestry of violence.

The World Eaters, like their patron god Khorne, are not known for subtlety. When they go to war, they often do so with a host of bloodthirsty Daemons of Khorne at their side, all to reap skulls for the skull throne. The Berzerkers charge headlong into the thickest of the fighting, filled with rage, while ghastly Bloodletters and Bloodcrushers seek to outdo each other in acts of wanton destruction.

The Thousand Sons are masters of the Warp and infernal sorcery. In battle, the Scarab Occult Terminators march forward in eerie lockstep, spewing tainted fire and cutting down enemies foolish enough to test them. Led by Sorcerers who wield their powers to annihilate foes with gouts of warpflame, they are often accompanied by bizarre, mutated, and tentacled beasts.

The Death Guard march to war in slow, purposeful steps, advancing through a hail of fire with unnatural resilience. They spread disease and contagion wherever they go, blighting the very land upon which they tread, and cutting down foes with rusty, venom-encrusted blades.

Terminator Squads go to battle clad in Tactical Dreadnought armour – a marvel of technology that enables its wearer to survive almost anything, from the stresses of teleportation to earth-shaking artillery bombardments. These elite Space Marines stride inexorably across the field or simply appear in a crackle of teleportation energy, shrugging off enemy attacks as they unleash a steady barrage...

Be'lakor, the Dark Master, is the first of the Daemon Princes and a consummate champion of Chaos. Wreathed in ethereal shadows and lifted high above the battlefield on monstrous wings, Be'lakor regards the efforts of his foes with a bitter scorn as they struggle in vain against his diabolical plans. As the Mortal Realms descend into chaos following the cataclysmic Soul Wars, the First Prince...

Wolf Scouts are a wild pack that's capable of operating far from the rest of their battle-brothers. Chosen for their maverick nature, every member of a Wolf Scouts kill team has their own equipment and loadout, and their own saga to write.

XV26 Stealth Battlesuits are well adapted to operating independently of the primary T'au Empire forces. Using specialised equipment, they infiltrate behind enemy lines to sabotage, harass, and disrupt the enemy, completing vital objectives for the Greater Good.

A cold pall of terror settles across the industrial world of Garranox. Into this simmering cauldron of fear and discontent comes a Murderwing of the Night Lords. These bloodthirsty butchers have come to hunt – and not only the living. Somewhere beneath the city of Saint Meryn’s Heart, a dread power stirs, and the Murderwing will stop at nothing to claim it for themselves. Meanwhile, sallying...

Demetrian Titus was Captain of the Ultramarines Second Company more than two centuries ago. He lost his position due to the machinations of Chaos worshippers on Graia and the extreme paranoia of an Inquisitor. Titus’s return to captaincy has been hard‑earned, yet he remains the same warrior he has always been.
