This index covers the modern Warhammer 40,000 range. Horus Heresy forces have their own unit index and a setting hub.
Heavy Support · WalkerTriarch StalkerNecronsA towering hexapedal walker piloted by the Triarch's enforcers, guiding the fire of nearby phalanxes while its heat ray melts armour to slag.
Battleline · InfantryTroupeHarlequinsThe beating heart of any masque, a company of Players clad in dazzling holo-suits who dance the enemy to death with the harlequin's kiss, the embrace and the flashing blade.
HQ · InfantryTroupe MasterHarlequinsThe lead dancer and war-leader of a Harlequin Troupe, a blur of blades who choreographs slaughter as though it were art.
Heavy Support · MonsterTrygonTyranidsA colossal serpentine burrower that erupts from beneath the enemy's lines, trailing a glass-walled tunnel through which the swarm pours to fall upon the foe's rear.
HQ · InfantryTyranid PrimeTyranidsA Warrior elevated to command, a mid-ranking synapse leader whose sharpened link to the Hive Mind lends nearby broods deadly focus and unshakeable cohesion.
Troops · InfantryTyranid WarriorsTyranidsThe mid-tier synapse creatures that carry the Hive Mind's will into the swarm's heart, anchoring lesser broods while fighting as deadly warriors in their own right.
Dedicated Transport · MonsterTyrannocyteTyranidsA living drop-pod spore that plunges from orbit to disgorge swarm-organisms into the heart of the foe.
Heavy Support · MonsterTyrannofexTyranidsA living siege platform whose rupture cannon fires barbed projectiles capable of gutting tanks.
Fast Attack · CavalryTzaangor EnlightenedThousand SonsThe Tzaangor Enlightened are the seers of their mutant kind, borne to war upon Discs of Tzeentch. Gifted with glimpses of the flowing future, they strike with divining spears at the precise instant that will do the most harm, slaying foes who have not yet grasped their danger.
HQ · CavalryTzaangor ShamanThousand SonsThe Tzaangor Shamans are the most exalted of the beastmen, prophets and psykers who ride to war on Discs of Tzeentch. They preach the will of the Changer to their fellows and treat with the Legion's sorcerers, though their loyalty belongs first and always to their god.
Fast Attack · CavalryTzaangor SkyfiresThousand SonsThe Tzaangor Skyfires are disc-mounted hunters who wield the fatecaster greatbow, loosing ensorcelled arrows guided by glimpses of things to come. Reading the paths of the future, they pluck aircraft from the sky and slay distant targets with impossible, prophesied precision.
Troops · InfantryTzaangorsThousand SonsTzaangors are the beast-warriors of the Thousand Sons, mutated creatures raised up by the changing power of Tzeentch into cunning and savage foot soldiers. Part man, part avian horror, they combine feral ferocity with a disquieting arcane intelligence, and the most gifted among them wield rudimentary sorceries of their own. Swarming forward in raucous, blade-wielding hordes, they serve as the expendable shock troops of the Legion, a chaotic and bloodthirsty counterpoint to the silent ranks of the Rubricae.
Flyer · Assault CarrierValkyrieAstra MilitarumThe Valkyrie is the Astra Militarum's airborne assault carrier, a rugged vertical-takeoff gunship that ferries elite troops into the heart of a war zone and rakes the ground with rocket and lasfire. Flown by Aeronautica Imperialis crews, it is the wings beneath the Imperium's drop regiments and Tempestus Scions.
Elites · InfantryVanguard Veteran SquadSpace MarinesJump-pack veterans who fall from the sky into the enemy's heart, Vanguard Veterans are the masters of the close assault, killing before the foe can react.
Fast Attack · Jump Infantry SquadVanguard VeteransDeathwatchDeathwatch Vanguard Veterans descend from the skies on roaring jump packs, striking swiftly at priority targets before the enemy can react. Masters of the sudden assault, they close the distance in moments and cut down alien leaders and vulnerable prey with blades and specialised sidearms.
Fast Attack · InfantryVenatari CustodiansAdeptus CustodesThe Venatari Custodians are the sky-borne hunters of the Ten Thousand, warriors who take to the air upon gravitic thrusters to strike where the enemy is weakest. Bearing the long Venatari lance or the ranged kinetic destroyer alongside the tarsus buckler, they descend upon vital targets in a golden storm, then leap aloft once more before retribution can gather. They are the swift, decapitating blade of a Custodian force.
Heavy Support · WalkerVenerable Contemptor-Achillus DreadnoughtAdeptus CustodesAn interred hero of the Order given a new, terrible war-body, purpose-built to close with and dismember the largest enemy threats.
Dedicated Transport · Anti-Grav TransportVenomDrukhariA darting, needle-swift skimmer that carries a handful of elite killers into the heart of the foe and jinks through storms of fire behind a shimmering flickerfield.
Elites · InfantryVenomthropeTyranidsA drifting living gas-mine whose clouds of poisonous spores choke the enemy while cloaking the swarm's advancing monsters from ranged fire.
Fast Attack · CavalryVertus PraetorsAdeptus CustodesCustodians mounted on Dawneagle jetbikes, sweeping across the battlefield to run down anything that tries to flee or flank.
Fast Attack · InfantryVespid StingwingsT'au EmpireThe Vespid Stingwings are winged, insectoid auxiliaries who serve the Greater Good, swarming down from the skies of their storm-lashed homeworld to fall upon the enemy's flanks. Each bears a neutron blaster whose radiation withers all but the heaviest armour, a weapon only the Vespid can safely wield. They are bound to the Empire through the communion helms that render their alien speech comprehensible to the T'au.
Elites · InfantryVigilatorsAdeptus CustodesSilent blade-sisters who close with the enemy and behead witches with two-handed executioner greatblades.
Elites · Infantry CharacterVindicare AssassinImperial AgentsThe Vindicare Assassin is a master of the impossible shot, a patient killer who can end a life from kilometres distant with a single round. Clad in a stealth suit that bends the eye and armed with an exitus rifle of exquisite lethality, the Vindicare waits, watches, and strikes but once. When the shot rings out, the target is already dead, and the Assassin is already gone.
Heavy Support · VehicleVindicatorSpace MarinesBuilt around a siege-breaking demolisher cannon, the Vindicator smashes fortifications and enemy formations apart with single, cataclysmic blasts.
