This index covers the modern Warhammer 40,000 range. Horus Heresy forces have their own unit index and a setting hub.
HQ · InfantryOverlordNecronsA necron noble commander whose ancient authority binds warriors, courtiers, and war machines alike to a single dynastic will.
HQ · InfantryPalatineAdepta SororitasA veteran champion who commands in the Canoness's stead, leading from the front with blade drawn and faith ablaze.
Elites · WalkerParagon WarsuitsAdepta SororitasTowering powered war-frames piloted by the most honoured Celestians, marrying devastating heavy weapons to crushing melee arms as the Sisterhood's heaviest infantry.
Fast Attack · InfantryPathfinder TeamT'au EmpireReconnaissance specialists equipped with markerlight designators that guide the devastating fire of allied units.
Heavy Support · WalkerPenitent EngineAdepta SororitasA crude war machine housing a Sister so consumed by guilt she chose to be sealed inside it forever, her grief converted into rampaging violence.
Troops · Daemonic InfantryPink HorrorsChaos DaemonsPink Horrors are the cackling sorcerer-daemons of Tzeentch, gangling creatures of vivid flame-hued flesh who hurl bolts of raw warp-fire across the battlefield. Manic and gleeful, they chatter unceasingly as they conjure destruction. Their most unsettling trait is division: when slain, a Pink Horror splits into two smaller Blue Horrors, ensuring that killing them often only multiplies the problem in the ever-changing manner beloved of their capricious master.
Fast Attack · CavalryPlague Drones of NurgleChaos DaemonsAirborne cavalry of Nurgle, Plaguebearers astride embittered Rot Flies that were once loving Beasts.
Troops · InfantryPlague MarinesDeath GuardPlague Marines are the rotting heart of the Legion, transhuman warriors remade by Nurgle into walking hosts of disease. Encased in swollen, cracked ceramite that seeps filth and swarms with flies, they advance with grim patience, all but impervious to pain and utterly unafraid. Every one is a living reliquary of contagion, spreading sickness with each shambling step.
Elites · InfantryPlague SurgeonDeath GuardThe Plague Surgeons are the twisted apothecaries of the Death Guard, wielding the Tainted Narthecium not to heal but to preserve. They keep their brothers fighting long past death, and harvest the dying for new and interesting strains of disease.
Troops · Daemonic InfantryPlaguebearersChaos DaemonsPlaguebearers are the tally-keepers of Nurgle, mournful daemons who count every new pestilence with grim devotion. Bloated and rotting, wreathed in clouds of droning flies, they shuffle forward in endless ranks that no amount of firepower seems to thin. They wield corroded blades slick with contagion, and their very presence spreads sickness. Patient and all but tireless, they form the shambling backbone of every host raised in the Plague Father's name.
Heavy Support · VehiclePlagueburst CrawlerDeath GuardThe Plagueburst Crawler is a lumbering siege-tank and daemon engine, its design perfected by Mortarion himself out of pure spite. It lobs spore-laden shells over fortress walls, drowning defenders in clouds of daemonic contagion that eat through any protection.
HQ · InfantryPlasmancerNecronsA cryptek harbinger of destruction sheathed in crackling plasma, who hurls living lightning that leaps and forks between massed foes.
Elites · Daemonkin InfantryPossessedChaos Space MarinesWarriors who have surrendered body and soul to daemonic tenants, the Possessed are ever-shifting horrors of claw, fang, and warp-fire that revel in slaughter.
Troops · InfantryPoxwalkersDeath GuardPoxwalkers are the shuffling dead of the Death Guard, mortals infected by a curse-plague that reanimates the dying as tireless, mindless thralls. They surge forward in vast, groaning hordes, their touch spreading the very disease that made them. Each victim they infect and kill rises again to swell their numbers, turning a single outbreak into an unstoppable tide.
Troops · InfantryPrimaris Crusader SquadSpace MarinesThe mainstay of a Black Templars crusade, the Crusader Squad unites seasoned Initiates with eager Neophytes in a bond of knight and squire found nowhere else among the Adeptus Astartes.
HQ · InfantryPrimaris PsykerAstra MilitarumA sanctioned witch chained to the Emperor's will, the Primaris Psyker unleashes lightning, fire and terror from his mind, an asset watched by his own side almost as warily as by the foe.
Troops · InfantryProsecutorsAdeptus CustodesSilent Sisters who advance with disciplined bolter fire, their pariah souls a bane to every psyker and daemon.
Elites · InfantryProteus Kill TeamDeathwatchAn endlessly adaptable kill team of veteran battle-brothers drawn from a dozen Chapters, armed to slay any xenos horror.
Elites · MonsterPsychophageTyranidsA loping horror bred to hunt psykers and devour the psychic energy that sustains them.
Fast Attack · InfantryPteraxii SkystalkersAdeptus MechanicusPteraxii Skystalkers are the winged killers of the Skitarii, aerial warriors whose flight packs let them stalk the skies above the battlefield and fall upon the enemy from above. Armed with flechette weapons and cruel taser goads, they descend in shrieking flocks to shred infantry and secure vital ground, then bound aloft once more before a counterstroke can land. They are the forge world made airborne, swift and merciless.
Fast Attack · InfantryPteraxii SterylizorsAdeptus MechanicusWinged Skitarii shock-troops that plunge from the sky wreathed in cleansing flame.
Elites · InfantryPurestrain GenestealersGenestealer CultsPurestrain Genestealers are the alien progenitors from which every cult descends, lithe six-limbed horrors of chitin and claw. Swift beyond mortal reckoning and armed with talons that shear through the thickest armour, they are the deadliest killers a brood can field. As the direct spawn of the sire and the Tyranid strain within, they embody the true nature of the cult, and they spearhead its assaults with unstoppable, silent savagery.
Elites · InfantryPurifier SquadGrey KnightsThe purest and most zealous knights of Titan, who scour daemonic taint from the galaxy with consecrated flame.
Elites · MonsterPyrovoreTyranidsA living incendiary beast that spews digestive flame and detonates in a caustic blast when slain.
