Raptors are a subculture of sky warriors that cuts across Legion boundaries, hunting like avian predators, unified by the thrill of the chase. With screeching battle cries amplified to terrify their prey, they descend in meteoric charges, a flurry of reaping blades, and intense, short-ranged firepower.

Armageddon is a blasted wasteland after decades of unending war. Never a beautiful place, it's now a burned-out shadow of itself. Bands of warriors clash among the wreckage, creeping forward under the cover of broken buildings and the rusting detritus of industry.

The Astra Militarum defend the Imperium with a dizzying array of units, from heavy artillery pieces and tanks to masses of infantry. Depending on what the regiment has available, and on the mission parameters, they assemble tailored platoons to distribute across the front lines.

Ogors are monstrous, marauding creatures – ravenous raiders entirely in thrall to their greed and convinced that all the world is theirs for the taking (and usually the eating, too). Their mawtribes, hordes of colossal warriors and snarling warbeasts, emerge from far beyond the settled frontiers to loot, crush, and consume with an utterly savage abandon, leaving behind plundered and...

The Space Marines are genetically enhanced super-soldiers who fight at the forefront of Humanity’s wars. They are stronger, faster, and more resilient than an unaugmented human, and possessed of preternatural reflexes. Doubt, fear, and remorse have no place in their hearts – they are utterly fearless and staunchly loyal to the Imperium.

The Orks are a tough, brutal, and remarkably successful species. They can be found everywhere, from the depths of the galactic core to the scattered ghost stars at the edge of known space. They thrive on fighting, whether it's with each other for positions of power, or with the other species that fill the galaxy, making them a scourge to every empire and civilisation that lays claim to the stars.

Many of the Legiones Astartes make heavy use of MkIV 'Maximus' power armour. The most visibly distinct details of this mark of armour are the separated, squared knee pads, thin-trimmed shoulder pads, and helmets with long, broad face guards with slanting vents.

Necron Hosts can be composed of any number of units its leaders see fit. They're often based around a core of Necron Warrior infantry, with both supporting firepower as well as specialised melee units. These versatile armies are able to take on a wide variety of enemies, marching endlessly on from one battlefield to the next.

Chaos Space Marines Warbands are composed of a wide variety of different units, depending on the temperament of the leader, what they may have at their disposal, and the mission parameters. You'll find everything from daemon-possessed machines and twisted, mutated brutes, to Legionaries and swarms of cultists. Each has a role to play, and all fight with zealous rage.

The Hippogriff Armoured Fighting Vehicle combines speed and agility with a range of turret-mounted weapon loadouts capable of handling almost any battlefield situation. Excellent rapid-response vehicles well suited to escort duties, reconnaissance in force, and armoured countercharges, these redoubtable armoured vehicles have been the bane of foes many times their size.

Commissar Ciaphas Cain, Hero of the Imperium, is an inspiration to his soldiers – that's what the propaganda would have you believe. In reality, Cain lives by luck and self-preservation. To survive, Cain dodges, bluffs, and tricks his way out of trouble, but fate has a way of throwing him – and his trusty sidekick Jurgen – into the deadliest situations.

Centaur Rapid Strike Vehicles speed into battle, their transport compartments loaded with full squads of Astra Militarum infantry. Rugged and simple, these transports eschew heavy firepower to focus on their primary role – ferrying their passengers to their destination unharmed and with the greatest possible haste.

Intercessors equipped with powerful jump packs soar over the battlefield, slamming into the foe like a hammer from the skies. They swiftly cut down all opposition with point-blank pistol fire and furious slashes from their chainswords, before launching off to engage the next target.
