This index covers the modern Warhammer 40,000 range. Horus Heresy forces have their own unit index and a setting hub.
HQ · BattlesuitT'au CommanderT'au EmpireA T'au Commander stands at the summit of the Fire Caste's warrior path, a shas'o whose decades of victory earn the right to pilot the rarest and finest battlesuits. Two patterns are reserved almost exclusively for their use: the heavily armed XV85 Enforcer and the swift, fin-clad XV86 Coldstar. Whichever they pilot, Commanders lead from the front, their brilliance and courage inspiring every warrior around them.
Fast Attack · VehicleTX4 PiranhaT'au EmpireThe TX4 Piranha is the lightest and swiftest of the T'au grav-tanks, a nimble skimmer built for hit-and-run warfare, scouting and screening the heavier armour. Crewed by a pilot and gunner and escorted by detachable gun drones, it seems to be everywhere on the battlefield at once, harrying the foe with sudden strikes before wheeling away untouched.
Heavy Support · VehicleTX78 Sky Ray GunshipT'au EmpireThe TX78 Sky Ray is a missile-defence variant of the Hammerhead, its railgun turret replaced by a bristling array of seeker missiles. Guided by the markerlights of T'au Pathfinders, it rains precise destruction upon tanks and aircraft alike, granting Fire Warrior teams the heavy firepower their pulse weapons cannot provide. Born in the Damocles Crusade, it remains a mainstay of every Hunter Cadre.
Dedicated Transport · VehicleTY7 DevilfishT'au EmpireThe TY7 Devilfish is the mainstay troop transport of the Fire Caste, an armoured anti-gravitic skimmer that carries a dozen Fire Warriors or Pathfinders into battle and lends its guns to their fight once they disembark. Swift, resilient and endlessly versatile, it is the vehicle that makes the T'au doctrine of mobile, repositioning warfare possible.
Elites · InfantryTallymanDeath GuardThe Tallyman keeps the sacred count of the Death Guard, booming out the toll of the slain through rusted vox-horns. To Nurgle each death is an offering, and every seventh seven of them swells the plague-tide that surrounds Mortarion's sons.
Elites · MonsterTalos Pain EngineDrukhariThe Talos Pain Engine is a hovering monstrosity crafted by the Haemonculus Covens, a nightmarish fusion of tortured flesh and cruel machinery that drifts across the battlefield dealing agony wherever it goes. Bristling with syringes, blades, and heavy weapons, it is both a weapon of war and a mobile instrument of torment. The Talos exists to inflict suffering, and its Haemonculus masters savour every wound it delivers as a small work of terrible art.
HQ · VehicleTank CommanderAstra MilitarumCommanding from the cupola of a Leman Russ, the Tank Commander is a master of armoured warfare whose bellowed orders bind a squadron of battle tanks into a single grinding fist of steel and fire.
HQ · InfantryTech-Priest DominusAdeptus MechanicusA Tech-Priest Dominus is a high-ranking magos and battlefield commander, an ancient and heavily augmented lord of the forge world so laden with cybernetics and arcane apparatus that scarcely a trace of the human remains beneath. Wielding devastating integrated weaponry and the authority to command entire Skitarii cohorts, the Dominus directs the Mechanicus war effort with cold, calculating genius. To behold one is to witness the fusion of priest, general, and war machine in a single terrifying form.
HQ · InfantryTech-Priest EnginseerAdeptus MechanicusThe Tech-Priest Enginseer is the Machine Cult's emissary to the mortal armies of the Imperium, a junior priest seconded to the Astra Militarum and beyond to keep their engines of war in fighting order. Wielding servo-arm and axe and attended by mind-wiped servitors, the Enginseer coaxes wounded tanks back to life with oil, incense and prayer, treating each machine spirit as a sacred charge owed to the wider war effort.
Elites · Infantry CharacterTechmarineGrey KnightsA master of the machine spirit who keeps the warded war-engines of Titan running through the fires of the warp.
Elites · InfantryTechmarineSpace MarinesOrdained on Mars and sworn to the Machine God, Techmarines are the keepers of a Chapter's war-engines and holy technology, coaxing life from ancient and temperamental machines.
HQ · InfantryTechnomancerNecronsA cryptek adept of repair and reanimation, wreathed in nanoscarab clouds, who reknits fallen warriors and mends failing constructs mid-battle.
Elites · WalkerTelemon Heavy DreadnoughtAdeptus CustodesThe Telemon Heavy Dreadnought is the mightiest walker fielded by the Adeptus Custodes, a towering war-engine that entombs a grievously wounded Custodian within an armoured sarcophagus of unrivalled sophistication. Armed with the crushing Telemon caestus and storm-cannons of fearsome power, it strides into battle as a living fortress. So rare and so revered is each Telemon that its awakening is an event of grim significance.
Elites · Elite InfantryTempestus ScionsAstra MilitarumThe Tempestus Scions are the elite storm troopers of the Astra Militarum, a corps distinct from the common regiments and trained to a far higher standard. Deployed via daring aerial insertions and armed with superior weaponry, they undertake missions too dangerous or too precise for line infantry. They are the scalpel to the Militarum's hammer, striking swiftly at the enemy's most vital points.
Troops · SwarmTermagantTyranidsThe disposable backbone of every hive fleet, bred cheaply and in staggering numbers to overwhelm through sheer weight of fire.
Elites · InfantryTerminator SquadSpace MarinesSealed within Tactical Dreadnought Armor, Terminators are a Chapter's most battle-hardened veterans, deployed to break the impossible fights.
Heavy Support · MonsterTervigonTyranidsA monstrous living womb and synapse anchor that births endless broods of Termagants on the move, replenishing the swarm faster than the enemy can cut it down.
Renowned Masque · Harlequin MasqueThe RillietannHarlequinsA legendary Masque whose performances are said to have altered the fate of entire Craftworlds.
Fast Attack · CavalryThunderwolf CavalrySpace MarinesWolf Guard who ride the monstrous thunderwolves of Fenris to war, the Thunderwolf Cavalry are a thundering avalanche of tooth, claw and chainblade that breaks the enemy line apart in a single savage charge.
Fast Attack · VehicleTomb BladesNecronsAnti-grav void fighters turned battlefield jetbikes, corkscrewing far ahead of the tomb legions to strike supply lines and lightly held ground.
Troops · InfantryTormentorsEmperor's ChildrenTormentors are line warriors of the reborn Legion who wed martial discipline to a connoisseur's appetite for cruelty. They form the disciplined backbone of Emperor's Children hosts, advancing in eerie unison to seize ground and prolong the suffering of the fallen. Beneath their poised exterior lies an insatiable hunger to inflict pain with artistry and precision.
Heavy Support · MonsterToxicreneTyranidsA drifting horror wreathed in lethal spores whose lashing tentacles inject paralysing venom.
Elites · MonsterTranscendent C'tanNecronsA splinter of a devoured star-god, bound in living metal and loosed upon the battlefield to warp reality with a god's cold disdain.
Elites · InfantryTriarch PraetoriansNecronsAncient enforcers of necrontyr law, answerable to no single lord, who soar above the battle upholding the sacred codes of the Triarch.
