This index covers the modern Warhammer 40,000 range. Horus Heresy forces have their own unit index and a setting hub.
Elites · DreadnoughtFurioso DreadnoughtSpace MarinesA close-assault war-engine near-unique to the sons of Sanguinius, the Furioso trades ranged firepower for a pair of monstrous rending weapons and hurls its interred hero straight into the enemy's heart.
Fast Attack · SwarmGargoylesTyranidsWinged gaunts that darken the sky as a living vanguard, spraying fleshborer rounds and blinding venom to sow terror before the greater beasts descend.
Elites · InfantryGenestealerTyranidsSilent infiltrators whose corrupted bloodlines can hollow out a civilization from within long before the fleet ever arrives.
Dedicated Transport · VehicleGhost ArkNecronsA skeletal anti-grav barge that ferries necron warriors to war and reknits the fallen mid-advance, its cage-like frame a relic of biotransference's horror.
Heavy Support · VehicleGoliath RockgrinderGenestealer CultsA brutal mining crawler whose saw-toothed drilldozer blade bores through bedrock in peacetime and grinds screaming bodies into red paste once the uprising begins.
Dedicated Transport · VehicleGoliath TruckGenestealer CultsThe Goliath Truck is a heavy industrial hauler pressed into the service of the uprising, its flatbed crammed with cultists and its frame reinforced with scavenged armour. Built to carry ore across the harshest terrain, it now delivers broods of hybrids into the thick of battle, crashing through barricades and defenders alike. Bristling with commandeered weapons, it is both transport and battering ram for the cult's opening assaults.
Troops · InfantryGoremongersWorld EatersGoremongers are mortal Khorne cultists who have butchered their own bodies to resemble the Bloodletters they idolise, replacing limbs with loping augmetics and shrieking chain weapons. Ranging ahead of the World Eaters, they harpoon and run down their prey with a cunning that most of the Blood God's slaves have long since lost.
Lords of War · WalkerGorkanautOrksA towering Ork walker of solid scrap and spite, wading into battle with a colossal Klaw of Gork and a storm of shells from its Deffstorm mega-shoota.
HQ · Infantry CharacterGrand MasterGrey KnightsA Grand Master stands at the summit of the Chapter's command, commanding one of the eight Brotherhoods and answering only to the Supreme Grand Master. Each is a peerless warrior, a psyker of tremendous power, and a strategist versed in the arcane lore of the enemy. Bearing relics of the Chapter's armouries and armoured in the finest wargear, a Grand Master inspires his brethren to feats of purity and courage while personally slaying the most terrible of daemons.
HQ · InfantryGreat HarlequinHarlequinsThe supreme leader of a Harlequin Masque, keeper of its secrets and master of the Dance Without End.
HQ · Greater DaemonGreat Unclean OneChaos DaemonsThe Great Unclean One is the greater daemon of Nurgle, a colossal, rotting embodiment of pestilence and grotesque good cheer. Towering over the battlefield, its bloated body split to reveal writhing entrails and swarming vermin, it advances with ponderous inevitability. It commands the Plague Father's legions with paternal affection, showering allies and enemies alike with contagion. Nearly impossible to bring down, it is disease and endurance given monstrous, laughing form.
Troops · InfantryGretchinOrksSmall, cowardly greenskin underlings who exist to absorb punishment, carry gear, and occasionally shoot something by accident.
Battleline · InfantryGrey HuntersSpace MarinesThe seasoned heart of every Great Company, the Grey Hunters are veteran warriors who have tempered a Blood Claw's fire into disciplined ferocity, the dependable core around which the Space Wolves wage war.
Fast Attack · Jump InfantryGrey Knights Interceptor SquadGrey KnightsInterceptor Squads are the swift blade of the Chapter, warriors equipped with personal teleporters that let them flicker across the battlefield in an instant. Able to appear behind enemy lines, strike a vital target, and vanish before the foe can respond, they excel at hunting priority threats and severing the enemy's command. Their mobility, married to the psychic might common to all Grey Knights, makes them lethal and elusive in equal measure.
Elites · Terminator InfantryGrey Knights Paladin SquadGrey KnightsThe Paladins are the most exalted of the Chapter's Terminators, elite champions drawn only from those who have proven themselves across a lifetime of war against the Warp. Their psychic strength surpasses that of their brethren, and their martial skill is without peer among the rank and file. Where the fighting is fiercest and the enemy most terrible, Paladins stand as an unbreakable wall of silver, guardians of the Chapter's greatest heroes.
Heavy Support · InfantryGrey Knights Purgation SquadGrey KnightsThe Purgation Squad is the Chapter's dedicated fire-support formation, its warriors trading close-combat prowess for an array of heavy and specialist weapons. Whether laying down withering torrents of fire or unleashing sacred incinerators to cleanse the enemy in holy flame, they provide the covering strength that lets their brethren close and destroy the foe. Their sanctified armaments are as much instruments of exorcism as of war.
Troops · InfantryGrey Knights Strike SquadGrey KnightsThe Strike Squad is the fundamental fighting unit of the Chapter, a body of power-armoured warriors each wielding a Nemesis force weapon and a storm bolter. Deployed by teleportation into the heart of the enemy, they combine devastating firepower with psychic might, banishing daemons and cutting down cultists in a single ruthless assault. Every member is a psyker, and together they form a versatile spearhead equal to threats that would overwhelm lesser troops.
Troops · Terminator InfantryGrey Knights Terminator SquadGrey KnightsClad in the heaviest armour the Chapter fields, Terminator Squads are walking bulwarks of silver ceramite and adamantium. They teleport directly into the most desperate battles, shrugging off blows that would fell ordinary warriors while dealing death with storm bolters and Nemesis weapons. Each is a veteran of countless banishments, and their union of near-impervious protection and formidable psychic strength makes them among the most resilient daemon-hunters in existence.
HQ · InfantryGrimnyrLeagues of VotannThe Grimnyr, called Living Ancestors, are the nearest thing the secular Kin possess to priests. Born with a rare cloneskein that grants a measured psychic gift, they commune with the Votann Ancestor Cores and channel the power of the warp through barrier-tech and attendant drone constructs, serving their Kindred at once as sage, record-keeper, and battlefield mystic.
Heavy Support · VehicleGrot Mega-TankOrksBuilt and crewed by grots with something to prove, the Grot Mega-Tank bristles with far too many guns, a rattling deathtrap that spits an absurd volume of fire in every direction at once.
Elites · Monstrous InfantryGrotesquesDrukhariHulking, lobotomised flesh-horrors bloated by the Haemonculi's elixirs into mindless engines of muscle and blade, unleashed as living battering rams upon the foe.
Troops · InfantryGuardian DefendersAeldariThe citizen-soldiers of the craftworlds, drawn from artisans, seers-in-waiting, and every other walk of Aeldari life when their home calls them to the Path of the Warrior for its defence. Armed with rapid-firing shuriken catapults, Guardian Defenders form the massed heart of a craftworld host, and they are frequently supported by hovering weapon platforms that lend heavier firepower to their volleys.
HQ · InfantryHaemonculusDrukhariAn ancient master of flesh and agony who sculpts living beings into horrors, cheats death itself, and sustains his withered immortality upon the suffering of others.
Heavy Support · VehicleHammerhead GunshipT'au EmpireA gravitic tank whose primary railgun can punch through the thickest armor the galaxy's other empires can field.
