Emperor’s Children: pursuers of perfection, rewarded with powerful bonuses from playing perfect turns. Death Guard: masters of attrition and chemical warfare, increasingly corrupted by the Chaos God of Decay to become immortal. World Eaters: war dogs that do away with the nuances of strategy in favor of fearsome charges and close combat massacres. Iron Hands: relentless and growing stronger the longer they stay in the field, building up overwhelming momentum that tramples everything in their path. Raven Guard: guerrilla experts that excel at hit-and-run tactics and stealth operations, emboldened by a thirst of justice against the enemies they sentence to death. Salamanders: innate survivors, they can overcome punishment that would wipe out other Astartes, and then burn those who dared fight them. Iron Warriors: tempered and dispassionate, they approach warfare with cold logic and excel in siege warfare, disregarding their own losses as long as victory is achieved. Alpha Legion: Secrecy is their weapon. It’s hard to tell who you’re fighting, as they all claim to be Alpharius. Watch out, they may have agents in your ranks... Night Lords: They come unseen and terrorize their opponents so that they can’t fight back.In addition, three Neutral factions provide support for all Legions that want it: Chaos: the Chaos Gods are aiding Horus and his allies, but the Loyalists aren’t immune to corruption. The power of chaos, however, can be fatally unwieldy. Imperial Army: the countless men and women unable to compete against the Astartes in single combat, but who can overwhelm them with sheer numbers and ingenuity. Mechanicum: seekers of knowledge from the Dark Age of Technology who supply weapons and vehicles, as well as aiding with their own armies and Titan Legions.More Legions will come in future expansions!
