This index covers the modern Warhammer 40,000 range. Horus Heresy forces have their own unit index and a setting hub.
Flyer · MonsterHarpyTyranidsA swift aerial predator larger than any Gargoyle, strafing the foe with heavy bio-cannon fire and showering their ranks with clusters of drifting spore mines.
Heavy Support · MonsterHaruspexTyranidsA ravenous feeder-beast that grows stronger with every foe it drags into its grinding maw.
Heavy Support · InfantryHavocsChaos Space MarinesHavocs are the heavy weapon specialists of the Chaos Space Marines, warriors who forgo the joy of close slaughter for the cold satisfaction of long-range annihilation. Bearing the heaviest man-portable armaments a warband can muster, they lay down withering barrages that shred infantry, cripple armour and rake the skies clear of aircraft. Positioned to command the battlefield, Havocs provide the murderous fire support behind which the rest of the host advances to butcher what remains.
Troops · InfantryHearthkyn WarriorsLeagues of VotannThe rank and file of every Oathband, Hearthkyn Warriors are the citizen-soldiers of the Leagues, ordinary Kin who take up arms when their hold's interests demand it. Clad in rugged void-suits and armed with reliable ion weaponry, they fight in disciplined squads, holding ground and grinding down the enemy with steady, unglamorous firepower that reflects the whole culture's distaste for wasted effort and wasted lives.
Heavy Support · Heavy Weapons TeamHeavy Weapons SquadAstra MilitarumWhen the Astra Militarum must shatter armour or scythe down a charging horde, it calls upon the Heavy Weapons Squad. Formed from teams of gunner and loader hauling crew-served weapons, these squads anchor the Imperial firing line with lascannon, autocannon, mortar, missile launcher and heavy bolter, supplying the punishing firepower that line infantry alone cannot.
Heavy Support · VehicleHekaton Land FortressLeagues of VotannThe Hekaton Land Fortress is the mainstay war engine of the Leagues, a colossal tracked vehicle that serves at once as battle tank and armoured transport. Sheathed in layered adaptive plating and crowned with a cyclic ion cannon, it grinds forward on six dual-core traction units, carrying a full complement of Kin to the fight behind walls of void armour.
Elites · WalkerHelbruteChaos Space MarinesA Helbrute is a towering engine of destruction, a Chaos Space Marine so grievously wounded he has been entombed within a war machine and driven to the brink of madness by his imprisonment. Neither fully alive nor allowed to die, the pilot rages within his metal sarcophagus, and when unleashed he vents ten thousand years of pain upon the foe. Bristling with heavy weapons and monstrous close-combat limbs, the Helbrute is a frenzied killer whose fury knows no restraint.
Heavy Support · InfantryHellblaster SquadSpace MarinesWielding plasma incinerators that can fell the mightiest foes, Hellblasters trade their own safety for annihilating firepower, courting death with every overcharged shot.
Fast Attack · Flame TankHellhoundAstra MilitarumThe Hellhound is a fast flame-tank built upon the Chimera chassis, purpose-made to drown entrenched foes in burning promethium. Its turret-mounted inferno cannon vomits self-igniting fire over cover and obstacles, making it the terror of dug-in infantry and the bane of anything reckless enough to swarm the Imperium's armour.
Fast Attack · Skyboard RidersHellionsDrukhariFeral gang-riders who skim the spires of Commorragh on stolen skyboards, hooking and decapitating their foes in shrieking passes before scattering into the dark.
Flyer · FlyerHemlock WraithfighterAeldariCrewed by a spiritseer and wreathed in psychic dread, the Hemlock Wraithfighter drifts over the battlefield reaping souls with mournful energy scythes.
Fast Attack · CavalryHernkyn PioneersLeagues of VotannRanging ahead of the Oathband on grav-bikes, Hernkyn Pioneers are the eyes and outriders of the Leagues. Drawn from restless Kin drawn to the open void and the frontier, they scout, harass, and pick off vulnerable targets, their magna-coil weapons and sensor suites feeding vital intelligence back to their commanders while their speed keeps them beyond the reach of retaliation.
Fast Attack · InfantryHernkyn YaegirsLeagues of VotannThe Hernkyn Yaegirs are the ranging scouts and commandos of the Leagues, deployed when a prospecting expedition turns up a prize guarded by dangerous foes. Hard-bitten and unscrupulous, they specialise in infiltration, raiding, and sabotage, and are as willing to ignite a war between rival powers as to fight one themselves.
HQ · MonsterHive TyrantTyranidsA towering synapse creature and battlefield general, channeling the Hive Mind's will directly into the heart of the swarm.
Troops · SwarmHormagauntTyranidsLightning-fast shock troops bred for the opening seconds of an assault, closing distance before an enemy can react.
Elites · InfantryHospitallerAdepta SororitasA battlefield healer of the Orders Hospitaller who snatches the dying from the Emperor's side and returns them, mended, to the firing line.
Elites · InfantryHowling BansheesAeldariSwift and terrifying assault specialists who embody the aspect of Khaine as the harbinger of death. Howling Banshees close the distance with blinding speed, their psychically amplified war-screams paralysing foes with dread before their power swords fall. Almost exclusively female, they are among the most feared close-combat warriors the Aeldari field.
Elites · InfantryHybrid MetamorphsGenestealer CultsEarly-generation hybrids blessed by the Hive Mind's touch with monstrous Tyranid weapon-limbs, revered as living saints and loosed as the brood's savage close-combat champions.
Heavy Support · Anti-Aircraft TankHydra Flak TankAstra MilitarumThe Hydra Flak Tank is the Astra Militarum's mobile shield against death from above, a Chimera-based platform bristling with long-barrelled autocannons. Guided by a predictive machine spirit that locks onto any aircraft no matter how wildly it jinks, it fills the sky with a storm of high-velocity, high-explosive shells.
Elites · InfantryImagifierAdepta SororitasA bearer of holy relics whose parade of saintly icons and simulacra kindles the faithful into transports of righteous fury.
Dedicated Transport · VehicleImmolatorAdepta SororitasAn armored Rhino variant fitted with twin heavy flamers or multi-meltas, delivering Sisters into battle while scouring the way ahead with fire.
Troops · InfantryImmortalsNecronsElite necron soldiers built with sturdier frames and heavier weapons, entrusted with tasks too important for the common Warrior rank.
Lords of War · Emperor TitanImperator TitanTitan LegionsA walking cathedral of war, the largest of the Emperor-class god-engines, crowned with a fortress-temple and armed to level cities.
Elites · InfantryIncubiDrukhariIncubi are elite warrior-killers who sell their matchless martial prowess to the highest-paying Archon, serving as bodyguards and executioners without equal. Clad in menacing segmented armour and wielding the two-handed klaive, they are living instruments of death honed by a lifetime of pitiless training. Cold, aloof, and utterly lethal, the Incubi answer to their own shadowy shrines and hold themselves apart from the squabbling nobility they are paid to protect and to slay.
