Warhammer, Page 3

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...

In the far-off lands of Grand Cathay, the armies of Chaos launch an all-out assault against the Great Bastion, forcing the commonfolk and peasants to rise in defence of their homes. Though humble in comparison to the Jade Warriors, they are prepared to lay down their lives if need be, wielding their improvised weapons with skill and bravery.

Prince Yriel is a noble scion of Craftworld Iyanden, and he has walked many paths. He is also a skilled combatant, equally adept at commanding vast warfleets and leading great hosts of Corsair raiders to war. Yriel wields the Spear of Twilight with superlative grace and dexterity and can pierce the guards of even the most renowned duellists.

Kharseth is the most gifted Void Dreamer to have ever lived – sensing the smallest fluctuations in the fabric of reality, detecting warp translations and other empyric disturbances, and directing the fire of allies with terrifying precision. So too can they wield the energies of the Warp and unleash freezing energies of the void upon their enemies.

Vypers are sleek skimmers offering a perfect compromise between the speed of a jetbike and the heavier armament of a grav-tank. Well-drilled Vyper squadrons move gracefully as one at breakneck speeds, as their seated gunners blast at the vulnerable rear armour of tanks or harass the flanks of infantry squads.

Voidreavers are skilled and agile warriors who make up the bulk of most Corsair warbands. With precise volleys of lethal shuriken fire, they can tear through enemy infantry or draw their power swords and storm hostile positions to engage in furious hand-to-hand fighting.

Corsair Skyreavers are equipped with winged jump packs and utilised by Anhrathe commanders as mobile shock troops. Leaping recklessly into the fray, they bring to bear an array of dazzling weaponry, relying upon speed, agility, and daring to evade incoming strikes and cut their opponents to shreds.

Rot finds its way into all corners of the Mortal Realms, and the sweltering tunnels beneath Embergard are fertile ground for the roots of the Garden of Nurgle to take hold, especially under the watchful gaze of the Grandfather’s Gardeners. A gaggle of dour-faced and green-thumbed Plaguebearers, they plod inexorably into combat at the whims of the ever turning cycle of decay, weathering incoming...

Oathbands can amass lucrative advance payments from their temporary allies by fulfilling mercenary contracts, which they see as no different to any other means of providing for their kindred. Mercenary Kin are ever watchful for opportunity and will seek to claim it with the grip of a forgewrought gauntlet.

The piratical lord of the Maelstrom is known by many names. Within the Imperium, he was lauded as Lugft Huron and then cursed as the Tyrant of Badab. He is feared as the Blood Reaver and sworn fealty to as the Master of the Red Corsairs. Most know him as Huron Blackheart, a supreme raider whose piratical armadas terrorise the Maelstrom and beyond. He surrounds himself with loyal subjects such...

The Eldritch Raiders are feared throughout the deep void. Led by Prince Yriel of Iyanden, the infamous pirate lord, these thrill-seeking raiders sail the stars in search of prey. Speed and cunning are the hallmarks of the Anhrathe, and when the time comes for battle, veteran Voidscarred and Skyreavers rush into the fray, pinning their enemies down with shuriken fire and scything through their...

The Red Corsairs are the undeniable masters of the Maelstrom, and they are rightly feared by all who tread too close to this benighted area of the galaxy. Striking out in raiding parties composed of elite Chaos Space Marines and scores of traitor guardsmen, they pillage what and where they want to scavenge material and grow their infernal empire.

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.

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 Disciples of Tzeentch wage war with a mixture of mortal cultists, powerful sorcerers, and a cavalcade of capering daemons. To face them in battle is to test your sanity, as their arcane magic reshapes reality in front of your eyes.

Madness reigns when the Disciples of Tzeentch march to war. Cultists, daemons, and power-seeking sorcerers unleash a kaleidoscopic inferno of eldritch magic, revelling in each immolated soul they offer up to the Change God as tribute. Ever the most manipulative and cunning of the Dark Gods, Tzeentch wallows in the anarchy of the Hour of Ruin – the great onslaught of Chaos that has thrown the...

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.

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 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.

Fatemasters are the military masterminds of the Arcanite cults – charismatic firebrands who weave plots and illusions to ensure the annihilation of their enemies. Their cursed glaive carves through flesh and metal with unnatural ease, while a loyal Twistwing familiar provides them with an unimpeded view of the battlefield.
