Sly MarboThe One-Man ArmyAstra MilitarumSly Marbo is the most feared lone operative in the Astra Militarum, a Catachan-born killer of near-mythical reputation who wages war entirely alone. Slipping unseen behind enemy lines, he leaves a trail of slaughtered foes and shattered command structures in his wake. So elusive and so lethal is he that many doubt he exists at all, believing him a legend the Imperium tells its enemies to keep them awake at night.
Sylandri VeilwalkerThe VeilwalkerHarlequinsA Shadowseer of uncommon power whose true masque none can name, walking the Hidden Ways as an emissary of Cegorach to nudge the schemes of lesser beings toward his ends.
SzarekhThe Silent KingNecronsThe last Silent King of the necrontyr, who doomed his people to undeath and now returns from exile to reunite the dynasties against the devourer from beyond the stars.

The Avatar of KhaineThe Bloody-Handed GodAeldariThe Avatar of Khaine is a shard of the shattered Aeldari war god made manifest, a towering figure of molten iron that bleeds fire from its wounded hand. One slumbers at the heart of every craftworld, roused to wakefulness only through blood sacrifice in the direst hours of war. When it walks, the Aeldari are seized with battle-fury and their enemies with dread, for the god of murder himself has taken the field.

The MagusThe Voice of the SireGenestealer CultsThe Magus is the prophet and psychic mouthpiece of the Genestealer Cult, an early-generation hybrid gifted with formidable powers of the mind. Serving as the intermediary between the wordless Patriarch and the wider brood, the Magus translates its sire's will into scripture and command. A charismatic demagogue and potent psyker, it inflames the faithful, clouds the minds of enemies, and guides the cult's slow rise toward its false salvation.
The NightbringerThe Reaper of SoulsNecronsA shard of the star god that taught every mortal race to fear death, unleashed only in dire need as a skeletal reaper wreathed in the cold of the grave.
The PatriarchThe Sire of the BroodGenestealer CultsThe Patriarch is the ancient and monstrous origin of a Genestealer Cult, the founding genestealer swollen by centuries of feeding and psychic dominance into a towering horror. Hidden in the deepest sanctum, it is the wellspring of the brood's shared will, binding every hybrid to itself through an unbreakable psychic bond. Wise, malevolent, and terrifyingly strong, it is both the object of the cult's worship and the coiled heart of its power.
The PrimusThe Insurgent GeneralGenestealer CultsThe cult's supreme warlord, a hybrid bred for the moment of open revolt, whose superhuman prowess and tactical genius weld a thousand ambushes into one unstoppable insurrection.
