This index covers the modern Warhammer 40,000 range. Horus Heresy forces have their own unit index and a setting hub.
Elites · Jump InfantrySanguinary GuardSpace MarinesGolden-armoured and masked in the serene face of their primarch, the Sanguinary Guard are the utmost elite of the Blood Angels, descending on wings of fire to embody the glory of Sanguinius himself.
Elites · InfantrySanguinary PriestSpace MarinesPart apothecary, part keeper of holy blood, the Sanguinary Priest tends both the flesh and the spirit of the Blood Angels, guarding the sacred vitae of Sanguinius and the rites that bind the Chapter to its angel.
Elites · InfantryScarab Occult TerminatorsThousand SonsThe Scarab Occult Terminators are the elite Rubricae of the Thousand Sons, dust-bound warriors encased in the hallowed war-plate of Cataphractii Terminator armour. Once the finest veterans of the Legion, they too were consumed by the Rubric, and now they advance as near-unstoppable automatons, impervious to all but the heaviest fire. Wreathed in the arcane authority of the sorcerers who command them, they wield weapons that blend heavy firepower with the searing change-fire of Tzeentch, an elite guard drawn from the ashes of the Legion's greatest.
Fast Attack · Jump InfantryScourgesDrukhariWinged sky-mercenaries who have paid the Haemonculi to graft them true flight, swooping down to drench their prey in withering fire before soaring beyond reach.
Troops · InfantryScout SquadSpace MarinesNot yet full battle-brothers, Scouts serve in the Tenth Company, learning the arts of war through reconnaissance, ambush and the sniper's patient kill.
Heavy Support · MonsterScreamer-KillerTyranidsA dreaded Carnifex strain that looses searing bio-plasma and a psychic shriek that scatters the courage of those who face it.
Fast Attack · Daemonic BeastScreamers of TzeentchChaos DaemonsRay-like sky-sharks of the Changer of Ways that dive through air, void and Warp to rend their prey.
Fast Attack · CavalrySeekers of SlaaneshChaos DaemonsDaemonettes mounted on the swift, tongue-lashing Steeds of Slaanesh, vanguard of the Dark Prince's hunts.
Fast Attack · WalkerSentinelAstra MilitarumThe Sentinel is a lightly armed bipedal walker used by the Astra Militarum for reconnaissance, flank protection, and rapid strikes. Nimble and able to traverse terrain that would bog down tracked vehicles, it scouts ahead of the main force and harasses the enemy from unexpected angles. It trades armour for mobility, serving as the eyes and the swift-moving skirmisher of the Imperial war-machine.
Fast Attack · InfantrySeraphim SquadAdepta SororitasJump-pack-borne angels of retribution who plunge from the sky wielding paired pistols to shatter the enemy at point-blank range.
Fast Attack · CavalrySerberys RaidersAdeptus MechanicusSerberys Raiders are the outriders of the forge worlds, Skitarii horsemen mounted upon the mechanical quadruped steeds known as Serberys walkers. Ranging far ahead of the main cohorts, they scout the ground, sever enemy lines of supply and harry the foe with galvanic carbines and long mag-lances. Swift, disciplined and untiring, they are the probing claws with which a Mechanicus army feels its way toward the throat of its enemy.
Elites · InfantryServitorsGrey KnightsMindless cybernetic thralls who labour and fight at the command of Titan's Techmarines, and who can betray no secret.
Elites · InfantryServitorsAdeptus MechanicusMindless cyborg drudges lobotomised into obedient tools of the Machine Cult.
Elites · InfantryShadowseerHarlequinsThe mystic of the masque, a psyker who weaves illusion and terror, cloaking the troupe behind curtains of unreality and drowning the enemy's mind in nightmares.
HQ · Infantry CharacterShield-CaptainAdeptus CustodesA senior commander of the Adeptus Custodes who leads its golden warriors with matchless skill and authority.
Fast Attack · CavalryShining SpearsAeldariThe Shining Spears are among the rarest of the Aspect Warriors and the only ones to ride to war upon anti-gravity jetbikes. They fall upon the enemy like a hurled lance, their laser lances flaring at the instant of impact, a charge that strikes with the force of a thunderbolt. Fast, brilliant and few in number, they attack as the spear of the war god himself.
Elites · InfantrySicarian InfiltratorsAdeptus MechanicusSwift battle-automata that strike from the shadows to sow confusion deep in enemy lines.
Elites · InfantrySicarian RuststalkersAdeptus MechanicusSicarian Ruststalkers are the silent assassins of the forge worlds, augmented killers built for the swift and surgical murder of the Machine Cult's enemies. Sheathed in dampening cloaks and armed with transonic blades and the venom-tipped chordclaw, they steal across the battlefield to fall upon their prey in a whirl of humming razors. Where the Ruststalkers pass, the strongest warriors are left dead before they know they are under attack.
Elites · InfantrySisters RepentiaAdepta SororitasDisgraced Sisters seeking absolution through suicidal melee combat, stripped of armor and driven only by the hope of redemption in death.
Troops · InfantrySisters of Silence ProsecutorsImperial AgentsThe Prosecutors are the ranged warriors of the Sisters of Silence, silent sisters who advance beneath an aura of null while unleashing disciplined volleys upon the foe. Their soulless presence smothers psychic power even as their weapons cut down the enemy at range. Steadfast and utterly without fear, they form a bulwark against the horrors of the Warp wherever the sisterhood deploys.
HQ · InfantrySkitarii MarshalAdeptus MechanicusA Skitarii Marshal is the battlefield commander of the forge worlds' cybernetic legions, a veteran warrior-priest who marshals cohorts of Rangers and Vanguard through the cold logic of the doctrina imperatives. Rebuilt for war and wired directly into the tactical calculus of his troops, the Marshal broadcasts the will of the Tech-Priests as electromagnetic edicts, turning a mass of augmented soldiery into a single, ruthlessly efficient instrument of the Omnissiah.
Troops · InfantrySkitarii RangersAdeptus MechanicusSkitarii Rangers are the long-ranged marksmen of the forge worlds, cybernetic soldiers rebuilt for endurance and precision and armed with galvanic rifles capable of felling foes at extraordinary distances. Where their Vanguard counterparts close for the kill, Rangers hold the line from afar, their augmetic eyes and machine-calm nerves letting them place shot after shot with lethal accuracy. They form the disciplined backbone of any Skitarii legion, patient hunters who wear down the enemy before the killing blow.
Troops · InfantrySkitarii VanguardAdeptus MechanicusSkitarii Vanguard are the close-assault infantry of the forge worlds, cyborg warriors who advance into the teeth of the enemy wielding radium carbines that leave their targets riddled with lethal radiation. Their very presence corrodes flesh and machinery alike, for the radioactive clouds trailing from their weapons and augmetics sicken and slay those who draw near. Fearless and relentless, they push forward where the fighting is thickest, grinding down the foe at brutal, close quarters.
Elites · InfantrySkorpekh DestroyersNecronsNihilist butchers of the Destroyer Cults who have remade their bodies for close slaughter, whirling through enemy lines on scything hyperphase blades.
