For more than a hundred centuries the Emperor has sat immobile on the Golden Throne of Earth. He is the master of mankind by the will of the gods and master of a million worlds by the might of his inexhaustable armies. He is a rotting carcass writhing invisibly with power from the Dark Age of Technology. He is the Carrion Lord of the Imperium for whom a thousand souls die every day, for whom blood is drunk and flesh eaten. Human blood and human flesh - the stuff of which the Imperium is made.

Imperial Guard platoons are made up of several squads of guardsmen. The massed firepower of the combined squads makes them a deadly opponent, capable of out shooting almost anything. A squad consists of 10 Guardsmen.

Heavy Weapon Teams are either part of normal Imperial Guard squads or they can be grouped together to create support squads that provide cover for the advancing troops. This set enables you to build up to 3 Imperial Guard Catachan Heavy Weapon Teams. Each team of two Jungle Fighters can be equipped with any one of the following weapons: Lascannon, Heavy Bolter, Missile Launcher, Auto Cannon or Mortar. It is possible to give all teams the same heavy weapon to build a Support squad.

Chaos Lords are the most powerful of the Chaos Space Marines. With the genetic advantages of a Space Marine and the blessings of the Dark Gods there are few more dangerous entities in the galaxy. The Chaos Lord takes up a single HQ choice. 

This Battle Force is a great starting point for a Dark eldar army or can be used to expand an existing force.

Dark Eldar Warriors attack rapidly, killing or crippling those who oppose them. They then drag off any survivors back to Commorragh to be tortured and killed at leisure.

A Warrior squad may be included in your Dark Eldar army as a Troops choice.

The Dark Eldar strike rapidly from their ships and warp portals, descending upon the enemy on their sleek Raiders. Utilising a grasp of anti-grav technology far more sophisticated than any other race, the Raiders allow the Dark Eldar to attack savagely into the heart of the enemy, giving them little chance to react or muster a defence.

A Raider may be included in your Dark Eldar army as a transport for a Warrior squad, a Grotesque squad accompanied by a special character, a Wych squad, or your Dark Eldar Lord and his or her Retinue.

Riding ultra-fast jetbikes, Reavers combine speed with excellent skill at close quarter fighting. They race ahead of the main Dark Eldar attack, slicing through enemy squads without pause.

A Reaver Jetbike squad may be included in your Dark Eldar army as a Fast Attack choice.

Few Wyches survive their first duel, but those who live learn quickly. This blister contains 2 random Wyches with assault weapons.

Mandrakes are the most malevolent of the Dark Eldar, preying on their own kind from the shadows of Commorragh. Who can say how a Dark Eldar Lord can entice these vile creatures to serve him in battle. What prizes can be offered to beasts who crave flesh and blood and little else?

Mandrakes may be included in your Dark Eldar army as an Elite choice.

Eldar anti-gravitic technology is a source of constant amazement and jealousy to the Adeptus Mechanicus. It is this that enables the Eldar to create anti-grave vehicles ranging from the huge Scorpion super heavy tanks down to the one-man jetbikes. Through subtle manipulation of the gravity field, jetbikes combine high speed with incredible maneuverability, making them an ideal craft for launching rapid hit-and-run attacks against the enemy.

Jetbikes may be included in your Eldar army as a Fast Attack choice.

During the war in heaven it was Falcon, consort of the Great Hawk, who retrieved Vaul's mighty sword, Anaris, and gave it to the Eldar hero Eldanesh to continue the battle with Khaine. It is this principle of deliverance which is behind the design of the Falcon grav-tank. With its potent armament and ability to carry a small squad of fighters, the Falcon is designed to take the fight to the enemy, or to extricate the warriors should resistance prove too fierce for them.

A Fire Prism grav tank may be included in your Eldar army as a Heavy Support choice.

Highly skilled with their shuriken catapults, Dire Avengers are deadly on the attack and immovable in defence. Dire Avengers are chosen in squads of between 5 and 10 models. A single model in the squad may be upgraded to an Exarch. The box contains enough parts to make 7 Dire Avengers and 1 Dire Avenger Exarch.

Constructed from the complex psycho-plastic known as wraithbone, Wraithguard are not living warriors, they are artificial constructs which house a spirit stone containing the soul of an Eldar warrior. Only in times of great need are the dead stirred from their slumber and brought to battle, but the sturdy armour and devastating wraithcannon have won many battles which otherwise would have been lost.

Wraithguard may be included in your Eldar army as an HQ choice.

The Kasrkin are the elite of the Cadian military. They are marked out while they are still in the Youth armies and enrolled in special academies where they receive training that is more than a match for that provided to Imperial Storm Troopers. They are utterly dedicated to the preservation of Cadia and follow an ethos of duty and honour that is both impressive and intimidating.Cadian Kasrkin may be included in your Imperial Guard army as an Elites choice. These models are also perfect for representing Imperial Storm Troopers in any Witch Hunter or Daemonhunter army.

The Thirteenth Penal Legion is better known as Schaeffer's Last Chancers. Led by the fiercely uncompromising Colonel Schaeffer, the unit is the last stop for psychopaths, recidivists, thieves and other assorted scum otherwise destined for the firing squad. Schaeffer's ethos is simple; he will give the troops in his charge one chance to win the God-Emperor's forgiveness and in so doing save their souls. He will give them this chance by leading them into the most dangerous warzones to perform the most suicidal missions. Then, if they live, as his second-in-command Kage has continued to do, as much out of a desire to see Schaeffer dead as anything else, he will lead them into another potential death-trap.

Colonel Schaeffer and seven Last Chancers may be included in your Imperial Guard army as an HQ choice. Colonel Schaeffer and eight or more Last Chancers may be included in your Imperial Guard army as both an HQ choice and a Troops choice.

A Space Marine Commander may be included in your Space Marine army as an HQ choice. He may be also be accompanied by a Command squad.

Space Marines are Humanity's finest warriors. Genetically tailored for their role and utterly loyal to the Emperor, the Space Marine Chapters represent Mankind's greatest hope of victory in the unending wars for survival. A Space Marine is stronger and tougher than an ordinary human, with faster reflexes and superior coordination. All Space Marines belong to a warrior cult. Space Marines are therefore spiritual brothers as well as brothers in arms. This dual role as physical and spiritual warriors is very important, and it is what makes the Space Marines so dedicated.

Space Marines Tactical squads may be added to your Space Marine army as a Troops choice.

They shall be pure of heart and strong of body, untainted by doubt and unsullied by self aggrandizement. They will be bright stars in the firmament of battle. Angels of Death whose shining wings bring swift annihilation to the enemies of Man. So shall it be for a thousand times a thousand years, unto the very end of eternity and the extinction of mortal flesh.Space Marines are humanity's ultimate warriors, dedicated to the defence of the Emperor and the Imperium of Man. The Space Marine Battleforce is the perfect way to begin a Space Marine army or to enhance your existing forces.

Space Marines are Humanity's finest warriors. Genetically tailored for their role and utterly loyal to the Emperor, the Space Marine Chapters represent Mankind's greatest hope of victory in the unending wars for survival. A Space Marine is stronger and tougher than an ordinary human, with faster reflexes and superior coordination. All Space Marines belong to a warrior cult. Space Marines are therefore spiritual brothers as well as brothers in arms. This dual role as physical and spiritual warriors is very important, and it is what makes the Space Marines so dedicated. Assault squads strike hard and fast. Their jump packs allow them to rapidly close with the enemy, and there are few adversaries who can withstand them once they are caught in bloody mêlée.

Space Marines may be added to your Space Marine army as a Troops choice.

All Space Marine Chapters maintain a number of suits of the revered and rightly feared Tactical Dreadnought armour or Terminator armour, as it is more commonly known. The armour is massively bulky and contains a full exoskeleton arrangement of fibre bundles and adamantium rods to support the heavy gauge plasteel and ceramite plates that form the outer carapace. A wearer of Terminator armour can move and operate with remarkable freedom and agility considering the sheer mass of the actual armour.

Space Marine Terminators may be added to your Space Marine army as an Elite choice.

Bike squadrons are often used for reconnaissance missions into enemy held territory. When part of a larger battleforce, their speed and hitting power gives the Space Marine commander a fast, hard hitting punch to his attack.

Space Marine Bikes may be added to your Space Marine army as a fast Attack choice.

The Rhino allows the Space Marines to move swiftly to seize an objective or strike deep into the heart of an enemy force. Certain Space Marine squads (as indicated in their army list entry) can use Rhinos to move rapidly across a battlefield.The Rhino is without doubt the most ubiquitous vehicle in the arsenal of the Space Marines. Not only does it serve as a transport in virtually every Chapter, but also its hull is the basis of numerous variants such as the Predator, Razorback, Whirlwind and Vindicator.In its personnel carrier configuration it is proof against any small arms fire and can even resist plasma or autocannon hits. Normally it is only lightly armed, although it can be fitted with an additional storm bolter and a deadly hunter-killer missile to make it a more dangerous proposition in its own right.The main strength of the Rhino, however, is its lethal cargo of ten power-armoured Space Marines. With the Rhino these Space Marines can hit and run or storm into the heart of an enemy position to deliver the kind of swift, decisive blow that would be inconceivable on foot. This versatility makes the Rhino the workhorse of the Adeptus Astartes and an honoured piece of Imperial war gear. A Rhino Transport may be included in your Space Marines army as a transport for Space Marine Troops.

The Land Raider is one of the most potent machines of destruction in the Imperium. Space Marines and Space Marine Terminators may use the Land Raider as a transport. A Space Marine Land Raider may be included in your Iron Hands army as a Heavy Support choice

The Space Marine Command Squad may be added to your Space Marine army as an HQ choice. Space Marine Command Squads may accompany a Space Marine Commander, Librarian, or Chaplain into battle

Space Marine Chaplains administer the rites of their Chapter, performing the ancient ceremonies of Initiation and Vindication, as well as leading their brethren through the prayers of faith and sacred psalms of the Emperor.

A Space Marine Chaplain on Bike may be included in your Space Marines army as an HQ choice.

Attack bikes often accompany bike squads to provide heavy weapons support. When fielded as squadrons, they are highly mobile units with enough firepower to destroy even the largest enemy units or blow apart tanks with their short-ranged multi-meltas.

Space Marine Attack Bikes may be added to your Space Marine army as a Fast Attack choice.

The Whirlwind fires barrage after barrage of rockets into the enemy army, softening them up while the Space Marines get into position. It can even fire when out of sight, behind a hill or jungle.

A Space Marine Whirlwind may be included in your Space Marines army as a Heavy Support choice.

Techmarines often join their Battle Brothers to repair vehicles on the battlefield so they can continue to provide support during battles. A Techmarine with Servitors counts as a single Elites choice in a Space Marine army. This boxed set contains 1 Techmarine and 4 Servitors. Two of the Servitors can be equipped with a heavy bolter.

A Dreadnought is piloted by a mighty warrior who has been saved from death by his internment within its armoured sarcophagus. In this way the warrior can continue to vanquish the foes of the Emperor for many centuries, or even millennia.

A Dreadnought may be included in your Space Marine army as a Elite choice.

All Space Marine Chapters maintain a number of these revered suits of armor and they are among a Chapter’s most prized relics.This boxed set contains five Space Marine Terminators sculpted by Dave Thomas, Mark Harrison, Martin Footitt, and Jes Goodwin.

A Terminator Close-Combat Squad may be included in your Space Marine army as an Elite choice.

The skeletal form of a Necron Warrior is a spine-chilling sight, as bullets and lasblasts bounce harmlessly from its metallic limbs. The gauss flayer which it wields is no less terrifying, as it strips its target atom by atom; in a heartbeat it dissolves skin, muscle and then disintegrates bone until nothing remains.

Necron Warrior squads may be added to your army as a Troops choice.

Out of the distant nightmare of a long dead past they come, marching relentlessly forward striking terror into the hearts of all those who face them. This battleforce is the perfect way to start a new army or reinforce the Necrons you already have.

Necron warriors fused to skimming flyers are known and feared as Destroyers. They are a heavily altered form of the Necron Immortal, equally broad with a more pronounced spine from which their terrible weapons draw their power. The speed and ferocity of their attacks are undiminished by their antiquity, and they remain at the forefront of the red harvest.

A Necron Destroyer may be added to your Necron army as a Fast Attack choice.

The Monolith combines the properties of transport craft, armoured destroyer and Necron power icon. Its ponderous form floats across the battlefield, its crystal core pulsing with sickly energy, powerful beams of gauss lightning whipping from its weapon mounts. The frontal section is capable of opening a dark portal and transporting Necrons to the battlefield to cause fresh havoc.

A Monolith may be included in your Necron army as a Heavy Support choice.

Like their lighter brethren, Heavy Destroyers are a fusion of a Necron Immortal and a flying skimmer craft. As standard, these mount the heavy gauss cannon and home in on the enemy armour, fixing them with their baleful multi-lensed targeters before raking them with devastating heavy gauss cannon fire.

A Necron Heavy Destroyer may be added to your Necron army as a Heavy Support choice

The Necron Heavy Destroyer boxed set contains one (1) plastic Necron Heavy Destroyer model

The most sophisticated of the C'tan's servants, the Necron Lords act as leaders and energy loci for the Necron Warriors. Clad in crumbling vestments and wielding ancient, arcane staffs, they are a chilling sight on the battlefield, directing their warriors' attack in unnatural silence. The patina of age mars the silvered perfection of their forms and they wear the accumulated power of millennia like a robe. Glittering arcs of energy surround their every gesture and soulless fires burn in their empty eye sockets .

A Necron Lord may be mounted on a Destroyer platform, becoming a Destroyer Lord. This platform allows the Lord to rise over the battlefield and dive down with deathly speed to destroy his enemies.

A Necron Lord or a Necron Destroyer Lord may be included in your Necron army as an HQ choice

The most sophisticated of the C'tan's servants, the Necron Lords act as leaders and energy loci for the Necron Warriors. Clad in crumbling vestments and wielding ancient, arcane staffs, they are a chilling sight on the battlefield, directing their warriors' attack in unnatural silence. The patina of age mars the silvered perfection of their forms and they wear the accumulated power of millennia like a robe. Glittering arcs of energy surround their every gesture and soulless fires burn in their empty eye sockets.

These arachnoid creatures are artificial constructs created to maintain the ancient Necron tomb complexes. Their many eyes stare out from a featureless, metallic block. The hooded carapace of a Tomb Spyder provides essential protection while their flexible metal limbs repair Necron technologies, which they will also fight to protect.

Up to three Tomb Spyders may be included in your Necron army as a single Heavy Support choice.

Stormboyz are fierce Ork warriors who are willing to gamble with their lives (and their sanity) by strapping on crude Ork rokkit packs to blast them towards the enemy.

Stormboyz are an Elite unit choice in a Space Orks army.

The Imperium first encountered Genestealers on the moon of Ymgarl long before they were alerted to the approach of the hive fleets. Only with time has it been learned that Genestealers are vanguard organisms for the Hive, created to seek out and undermine potential prey-worlds by infiltration. Genestealers are legendary ferocious close combat opponents, with lighting fast reflexes and deadly claws, capable of ripping through adamantium.

The Tyranid Warriors are among the most important Tyranids on the battlefield. Not only are they large and powerful fighters, but they also fulfil a pivotal role in Tyranid swarms. The warriors act as psychic resonators, amplifying the psychic bond of the Hive Mind and transmitting its power to the smaller, less-receptive creatures around them. Like officers marshalling their armies, the Tyranid Warriors lead the lesser creatures into battle, directing their troops to their appointed stations in the greater plan.

A Warrior Brood may be added to your Tyranid army as an Elite or HQ choice.

The Hive Tyrant is a large and massively powerful Tyranid creature, the closest thing to a leader of a battlefield swarm yet seen. Like many Tyranids, they seem able to mutate rapidly, and several different physical characteristics have been reported. All Hive Tyrants are highly psychic, and their relationship to the Hive Mind is closer than even that of Tyranid Warriors. The Hive Tyrants embody the Hive Mind completely, but their destruction does not diminish it in any way.

Little is known for certain about the complex relationships between these creatures, but some of the Imperial Techno-Magi believe that Hive Tyrants are the consort-minds of the Hive Queen that forms the repository of the hive fleet's own collective consciousness.

The Immolator is a design exclusive to the Ministorum, based upon the ubiquitous Rhino chassis. Immolators carry deadly twin heavy flamers, multi-melta, or heavy bolters. As well as its armament, the Immolator can carry a squad into the heart of the enemy army,

An Immolator may be added to your Witch Hunters army as a Heavy Support choice.

To the Adepta Sororitas, those who seek absolution as a Sister Repentia occupy a state of grace that many aspire to, yet few ever attain, for to earn redemption is to give oneself entirely to the will of the Emperor. Confession and penance are part of a Sister's everyday existence, and those who fall short of the Sisterhood's rigorous codes may, in the most extreme of cases, find themselves exiled from their order and banished into groups armed with the mighty ceremonial evisverators and led into battle by the harsh mistresses.

Sisters Repentia may be added to your Witch Hunters army as an Elites choice.

The Rhino allows the Space Marines to move swiftly to seize an objective or strike deep into the heart of an enemy force. Certain Space Marine squads (as indicated in their army list entry) can use Rhinos to move rapidly across a battlefield. The Black Templars have used Rhinos in their crusades across the galaxy as an armored personnel carrier.

Those Fire Warriors who have proven themselves in battle earn the right to wear a battlesuit and bear the name of Shas'ui. They are experienced fighters who have fought the deadliest foes and triumphed. Their loyalty and skill is beyond question, and the best and bravest of them may be honoured by being elevated to become a bodyguard to their Shas'o or Shas'el. Teams of Crisis Battlesuit warriors will have fought together for many years and, in many cases, will have performed the Ta'lissera ritual where the warriors swear oaths of communion and loyalty to one another, placing the welfare of the team ahead of their own personal desires.

kroot Carnivore squads are the most common auxiliaries serving alongside the Tau armies. The Kroot worlds have long been part of the empire, ever since a tau expeditionary force helped liberate several kroot enclaves from Ork domination. The Kroot warriors have a strict code of honour and, in return for the support of the Tau empire, supply large numbers of warriors as exclusive mercenaries. Their self-sufficiency and unparalleled fieldcraft are a major asset to the Tau and a useful contrast to their more technologically dependent masters. Kroot squads may also contain the lumbering Krootox and agile Kroot Hounds.

Whilst the Tau find the Kroot's predilection for eating the flesh of their vanquished foes barbaric, it is hoped that prolonged exposure to the Tau's sensibilities and culture will eventually purge them of this distasteful habit. Despite this, the Kroot are afforded virtually the same level of respect as a Tau, since their skill at arms is much valued by the less physically able Tau. The Kroot are honoured for their martial prowess and are rewareded for their efforts, as befits loyal citizens of the Tau empire.

It is said that Aun'Va is the oldest and the wisest of his caste. He has counselled the greatest leaders of the Tau for longer than any can recall, and his hand can be seen at work behind much of the Tau history. He is the most senior Ethereal upon T'au, sitting upon the councils that rule not just the sept but the entire empire. His word is heeded by every member of his caste, for his counsel has ever proven wise and true. (3 figures + scenic base)

The Dwarfs are the most tenacious and determined warriors of the Warhammer world. Their mountain holds are under constant pressure from Orcs, Goblins and Skaven so they must frequently march out to defend their homes and hoards. Even in defeat they record and remember every affront and will miss no opportunity to settle their grudges with the edge of an axe.

Command the forces of Chaos as they seek to implement their dark plans in the Pyrus Reach. Only Dark Millennium, the Warhammer 40000 CCG gives you the chance to interact with a storyline with nearly 20 years of development.

Like their battle brothers, Blood Angels Librarians excel at hand-to-hand fighting. Their prodigious combat skills are further enhanced by their psychic abilities, which enables them to empower themselves or a comrade with psychically-charged speed.

Blood Angels Chaplains are solely dedicated to guarding against the Black Rage. It is they who seek the first tell tale signs of the coming madness and group the affeted warriors into the Death Company. It is also they who minister to the depraved, mindless beasts unfortunate enough to succumb to the Red Thirst.

Demolition charges are explosive devices that can blow up even the toughest opponent. They have to be thrown and this means that only the bravest or most insane warriors will use them. Up to 3 models in a Veteran Assault team may be equipped with a demolition charge.

Chaos Space Marines have most of the capabilities of regular Space Marines, though they also have Chaos abilities and gear that make them unique. Each of the four Chaos Gods have Chaos Space Marines devoted to their cult, be they Noise Marines in service of Slaanesh to Plague Marines in service of Nurgle. They can unleash untold horrors on their opponents, from Daemon Packs to Chaos Defilers. They can be organized in an infinite number of ways, which is appropriate because Chaos embodies disorder itself. In the end, Chaos Space Marine armies are feared opponents that are seen as highly unpredictable by those who fight them.

There was a time when bikes were simply another piece of equipment to the Traitor Legions but years within the Warp have changed this. The bike is almost an extension of its rider, both covered in cruel spikes and jutting horns. The roar of the bike’s engine is the growl of a snarling beast that fires the damned soul of its rider to acts of greater recklessness. They trail brimstone and death in their wake as the harbingers of the dark legions.

The strong will always enslave the weak. Where the strong make their own fate, the weak bow their heads and succumb. There are few who are strong and many are their enemies, and the greatest of those enemies is the false Emperor of Mankind. Destroy the followers of the false Emperor and revel in their cries for mercy - their weakness can only be eradicated by their sacrifice to the gods of Chaos.

The Rhino is without doubt the most ubiquitous vehicle in the arsenal of the Space Marines. Not only does it serve as a transport in virtually every Chapter, but its hull is also the basis of numerous variants such as the Predator, Razorback, Whirlwind and Vindicator

The Predators of the Chaos Legions are a legacy of pre-Heresy times, although now they are barely recognisable to those familiar with the Imperial version. Daemonic maws adorn every gun barrel, dark icons cover every surface and their hulls are twisted and mutated.

The Land Raider is one of the most potent machines of destruction in the Imperium. Space Marines and Space Marine Terminators may use the Land Raider as a transport.

At the time of the Horus Heresy, the Adeptus Astartes made very limited use of jump packs. Those that escaped to the Eye of Terror with theirs were a rare breed who, after millennia swooping and soaring in the burning skies of Daemon Worlds, became a faction that cut across the boundaries of the Traitor Legions, unified by the thrill of the hunt. Down the centuries their equipment has mutated in the way of Chaos, fusing the original machinery with daemonic power. Now their battle cries are amplified to project a howling scream that drives their prey before them.

Chaos Havocs are Chaos Space Marines with a preference for killing at range with their powerful weaponry. Each Chaos Havoc’s heavy weapon is a trusted ally of a thousand battles, its wielder completely familiar with its every operation. Together, weapon and Chaos Space Marine touch every part of the battlefield with death and destruction, laying waste like capricious gods.

The Chosen are the elite of a Chaos Space Marine army. Drawn from the most experienced and capable warriors of the Traitor Legions, they have literally thousands of years of experience. These men have ruled planets, led armies and destroyed civilisations; they are the Chosen of the Chaos gods and the bane of all that lives.

Commander Azreal is the Supreme Grand Master of the Dark Angels and is always accompanied by a Watcher in the Dark who carries the Lion Helm, this artefact is said to have been worn by Lion El'Jonson himself. A Dark angels army of over 2,000 points may be led by Azreal. He is a Special Character and may only be included once. A blister contains Commander Azrael and the Bearer of the Lion Helm.

Asmodai is arguably the best Interrogator-Chaplain there has ever been. Enemy warriors have learned that it is better to die than to be captured and fall into Asmodai's hands. A Dark Angels army may include Asmodai as an HQ choice. He is a Special Character and may only be included once. A blister contains a single model.

The fiercest and most relentless Dark Angel Marines are chosen to lead squads of their brethren into battle. Some of these experienced fighters have been inducted into the Deathwing. These steadfast warriors will lead their fellow Dark Angels to battle the enemies of the Emperor even against impossible odds.

A Dark Angels Veteran Sergeant may lead one of the squads in your Dark Angels army.

Vypers are highly mobile weapons platforms, capable of laying down a withering fire even at high speed. Although not heavily armoured, their ability to skim quickly through the air provides them with as sure a defence as any amount of thinck armoured plating.

A Vyper Squadron may be included in your Eldar army as a Fast Attack choice.

The Eldar Battleforce is perfect for starting a new Eldar army or to expand an existing army.

The strength of Ulthwé is ultimately its Seer Council. During times of major conflict, the Seer Council takes a far more active role on the battlefield, divining the most influential warzone in which to add the might of the Craftworld and opening Wraithgates to allow their brethren to effect one of the lightning raids which characterize Ulthwé's military actions. The Seer Council is an HQ choice in your Ulthwé Strike Force Army. Rules for using the Seer Council in Warhammer 40,000 may be found in the Codex:Eye of Terror book.

The Eldar use many forms of technology that cannot be matched by other races. These exotic weapons are used by the craftworld armies to support their advance or to form a solid defence. Support weapons are chosen in squads of between 1 and 3 models all must have the same weapon.

The Wave Serpent is the main troop carrier of a craftworld's army. Protected inside its hull and force field, Guardians and Aspect Warriors can be transported in safety to any part of the battlefield. Its powerful anti-grav engines give it great speed, making it possibly the best troop transport in the galaxy.

Striking Scorpions are close assault specialists who excel in dense terrain. They use every nook and crevice to get close to the enemy before springing an attack. The sting comes in the form of the deadly mandiblaster, used to attack a foe from a few paces away. Only the toughest Eldar can become Striking Scorpions, as a strong physique is needed to wear the heavy armour and swing the chainswords to smash through armour and bone.Stricking Scorpions may be added to your Eldar army as an Elite choice

The ubiquitous transport vehicle of the Imperial Guard, Chimeras are extremely durable and practical vehicles, capable of mounting an array of infantry support weapons. Over the millennia, it has proved its reliability time and time again and remains a potent symbol of the Imperial Guard.

A Chimera transport may be included in your Imperial Guard army as a Transport upgrade for a Command squad and its Officer, Hardened Veterans, Ogryns, Storm Troopers, Techpriest Enginseers, Infantry squad, or Armoured Fist squads.

A Hellhound is a flamer tank based on a Chimera hull that uses its Inferno cannon to burn enemy troops from cover. The vast reserves of promethium tanks it carries in place of its troop-carrying capacity has resulted in thicker armor plating and a gleeful pyromania amongst those who crew them.

A Hellhound Tank may be added to your Imperial Guard army as a Fast Attack choice.

A Heavy Weapons platoon is where the greatest proportion of the regiment's most powerful weapons are gathered together. Composed of a Command squad and several support squads, they are equipped with the heaviest man-portable weapons in the regiment and are invaluable in providing defence against enemy armoured vehicles and large alien creatures.A Heavy Weapons platoon may be added to your Imperial Guard army as a Heavy Support choice.

The Cadian Shock Troops are frequently called upon to assault formidable positions or to defend against overwhelming odds. To improve their chances they have learned to group men with specialist wepon skills in support units. These units perform tasks such as destroying bunkers, hunting tanks, blowing up bridges and so on.

A Cadian Command Squad may be added to your Imperial Guard army as an HQ choice.

Commissar Gaunt, entrusted with the command of the emergent Tanith regiments, was forced to make a decision that shaped his own destiny and that of the surviving troops. Evacuating as many of the soldiers as he could during the Chaos attack, Gaunt robbed the Tanith of a chance to fight and die with their homeworld. Two whole regiments were lost. The remaining men, alone and without a planet to call home, now call themselves "Gaunt's Ghosts".

Since that point and his subsequent promotion to Colonel-Commissar, Gaunt has slowly won the devotion and respect of the one surviving regiment, leading them through hellish theatres of war to glorious victory time and time again.

Colonel-Commissar Ibram Gaunt may be included in your Imperial Guard army of 1,500 points or more as an HQ choice.

The Tactica Imperium normally uses specific titles to refer to Officer ranks; Junior Officers are listed as Lieutenants, Senior Officers are named as Captains or Colonels. In practice, the Imperial Guard is drawn from so many different worlds, many of which speak varying dialects - or even totally different languages - so that the actual titles applied to officers can vary wildly.

A Cadian Officer may be included in the Command platoon of your Imperial Guard army as an HQ choice.

The Kasrkin are the elite of the Cadian military. They are marked out while they are still in the Youth armies and enrolled in special academies where they receive training that is more than a match for that provided to Imperial Storm Troopers. They are utterly dedicated to the preservation of Cadia and follow an ethos of duty and honour that is both impressive and intimidating.

Cadian Kasrkin may be included in your Imperial Guard army as an Elites choice. These models are also perfect for representing Imperial Storm Troopers in any Witch Hunter or Daemonhunter army.

The boy who was to become Lord Castellan Ursarkar E. Creed of Cadia was found in the war-racked ruins of Kasr Gallan by soldiers of the 8th Cadian Regiment. He would not speak of the horrors he had endured but his faith in the Emperor and his own will were already forged into a weapon of iron that he did not hesitate to use. Impressed by his courage and strength the 8th Regiment adopted him and he was inducted into the Youth Army or Whiteshield corps, and it was here he met Jarran Kell. The brooding Creed and garrulous Kell forged a bond that was to last for the rest of their lives. Already Creed was a natural leader and was driven by a fanatical devotion to the Imperial cause. Soon, his Whiteshield platoon was hurled into the five-year Drussite Crusade, and by the time the Cadian army celebrated victory in the blaze of the xeno-pyres, Creed was a Captain of the Shock Troops and Kell his colour sergeant.

As an officer, Ursarkar Creed was demanding of his men and himself. His personal example earned him unconditional respect. In important matters he maintained the discipline expected of a Cadian unit but knew when to turn a blind eye, a quality that displeased many a Commissar. Creed rarely had to repeat an order; instead he exuded an intensity that compelled obedience from all around him. His greatest strength though was his understanding of how a Cadian force should fight, not for him the unthinking exchange of lives so beloved of other Guard Officers. Creed mixed resolute defence with blistering counter-attacks, proving himself as capable of leading an army as a platoon.

Space Marines are humanity's finest warriors. Genetically tailored for their role and utterly loyal to the Emperor, the Space Marine Chapters represent mankind's greatest hope of victory in the unending wars for survival. A Space Marine is stronger and tougher than an ordinary human, with faster reflexes and superior co-ordination. All Space Marines belong to a warrior cult. Space Marines are therefore spiritual brothers as well as brothers in arms. This dual role as physical and spiritual warriors is very important, and it is what makes the Space Marines so dedicated. Devastator squads combine the flexibility of the infantryman, with the firepower of a tank. Able to take up commanding firing positions on high outcrops or in dense jungle, Devastators can bring their heavy weapons into position whatever the terrain. A Space Marine Devastator Squad may be added to your Space Marine army as a heavy Support choice.

The addition of a turret-mounted weapon system to a Rhino creates the infantry combat vehicle called a razorback. Many Chapters swear by their use, attesting that the extra firepower provided by the Razorback more than makes up for the reduced transport capacity.

A Razorback Transport may be included in your Space Marines army as a transport for Space Marine Troops.

The Predator tank can be configured in a number of different ways. The Annihilator optimizes the Predator's tank-hunting capabilities with its multiple lascannons. Alternatively, it may be armed with heavy bolters in the sponsons to give it a powerful punch against infantry and light vehicles, while its turret-mounted tankbusting lascannon deals with any armoured foes it encounters.

A Predator Destructor may be included in your Space Marines army as a Heavy Support choice.

The Vindicator's massive demolisher cannon is often used to breach fortified defences, allowing Terminators and Assault squads access to enemy installations.

A Space Marine Vindicator may be included in your Space Marines army as a Heavy Support choice.

The Typhoon is fitted with Typhoon missile launchers. The missiles are simply a larger version of the frag missiles fired by a normal missile launcher. They are excellent against enemy infantry. A single Typhoon takes up a Fast attack choice. The box contains a single model.

Marneus Augustus Calgar is the renowned master of the Ultramarines, and his countless exploits while defeating the enemies of the Emperor (may his divine light always guide us!) have earned him fame throughout the Imperium. In particular his stubborn defence and ultimate crushing defeat of the Tyranids during the first Tyrannic War has become the stuff of legend amongst the more vulgar elements of the population on those planets that owe allegiance to the Ultramarines. But fame and glory ever begets jealousy and spite, and these heroic tales, fueled by Marneus' fierce pride, have earned him and his brethren many high-ranking enemies. Marneus Calgar may be included in an Ultramarine army that is 1,500 points as an HQ choice. He may be also be accompanied by a Command Squad.

Space Marine Librarians use their psychic powers to unleash devastating attacks on their enemies, as well as augmenting their own physical prowess. Space Marine Librarians can make special psychic attacks against their opponents. Librarians are responsible for all interstellar communication with the power to project their minds through warp space. They are also the adjudicators of the Chapter's psychic population, dividing psychic mutants into those whose powers are dangerous and those whose powers may be used by the Imperium. Only the most powerful of those suitable psykers can become a Space Marine Librarian.

Space Marine Librarians may be added to your Space Marine army as an HQ choice. They may also be accompanied by a Command squad.

Space Marine Chaplains attend to the spiritual well being of their battle brothers. They are often found in the thickest of the fighting, exhorting their comrades to even greater acts of bravery. The Chaplains administer the rites of their chapter, perform the ancient ceremonies if initiation and vindication, and chant the liturgies of battle as they lead their brothers to war.

A Space Marine Chaplain may be added to your Space Marine army as an HQ choice. They may be accompanied by a Command squad as well.

Space Marines are humanity's finest warriors. Genetically tailored for their role and utterly loyal to the Emperor, the Space Marine Chapters represent mankind's greatest hope of victory in the unending wars for survival. A Space Marine is stronger and tougher than an ordinary human, with faster reflexes and superior co-ordination. Devastator squads combine the flexibility of the infantryman, with the firepower of a tank. Able to take up commanding firing positions on high outcrops or in dense jungle, Devastators can bring their heavy weapons into position whatever the terrain.

Chaplain Cassius is amongst the oldest members of the Ultramarines Chapter. Cassius is one of the few surviving veterans of the first Tyrannic war. He has used his knowledge and understanding of the Tyranids to his advantage ever since. The blister contains a single model.

Servitors are more machine than man. They have all manner of equipment build into their bodies. These range from powerful claws used in close combat to long ranged weapons to attack the enemy from afar.

Of all the so-called star-gods, the C'tan in the ancient Necrontyr scripts, Yngir to the Eldar, the one known as the Deceiver was the most insidious and capricious. The little that can be gleaned indicates that even the Necrontyr knew few truths about this entity when they first discovered it and spoke the aeons-long owrds its dissipate form could notice. Its manifestation is also said to have been a time of great rejoicing among the Necrontyr - they were awe-struck by its fluid transition to an earthly form among them and the ease with which it adapted to the realm of matter. They first named it Mephet'ran, the Messenger, and believed it was a bridge to mediate between themselves and the other star-gods.

These arachnoid creatures are artificial constructs created to maintain the ancient Necron tomb complexes. Their many eyes stare out from a featurless, metalic block. The hooded carapace of a Tomb Spyder provides essential protection while their flexible metal limbs repair Necron technologies, which will also fight to protect.

Necron Tomb Spiders may be added to your Necron army as a Heavy Support choice.

Most warbands are accompanied by a ramshackle band of vehicles that hurtle around the battlefield blasting at anything that they can. The most crazed krews are known as Speed Freeks as they have completely succumbed to the Ork predilection for going far too fast.

A Warbuggy is a Fast Attack unit choice in a Space Orks army.

Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka is The most successful Ork Warlord in history. During his first attack on Armageddon he already proved to be a great Ork leader. But it was during the third war for Armageddon that his true plan became clear. In the years between the wars he had gathered more followers and had become even more powerful. A box contains a single model.

Killer Kans are smaller and less sophisticated Ork Dreadnoughts. Although lightly armoured, they retain the deadly power claws of their larger cousins making them dangerous foes and close quarters.

Killer Kans may be included in your Ork army as a Heavy Support choice.

In every society there are those who are on the bottom of the heap. In Ork society this position is most definitely held by the Gretchin, or Grotz as they are also known. They are often enslaved against their will and forced to serve their brutal Ork masters. Quite literally downtrodden (and kicked and beaten), the Grotz are always at the wrong end of things - including the food chain!

An Ork Slaver leading a Grechin mob counts as a Troops choice in a Space Orks army.

Big gunz are batteries of crude Orkish artillery manned by a swarm of Grot slaves. They are used to pound enemy lines into submission and knock out tanks from a distance while the ferocious mobs of Boyz close in to butcher the enemy infantry in hand-to-hand combat.

The Carnifex, shown above with a Genestealer for actual size comparison, is a living engine of destruction evolved for use in shock assaults, space ship boarding actions and massed battles where it can smash through almost any obstacle, whether it is a defensive line, enemy tanks or a fortified position. The assault of these creatures is terrifying to behold, a primeval force which smashes men and vehicles aside like children's toys.

Tyrant Guard are living shields whose resistance to injury is amazing. Blind and ultimately controlled by the Synapse creatures they protect, these half-sentient but ferocious creatures appear to have been bio-engineered specificaly to counter anti-Tyranid doctrine.

The vast majority of the Orders Militant is made up of Battle Sisters. Orphans raised by the Schola Progenium, Battle Sisters are well disciplined and highly devoted to the Emperor. Their greatest strength is their unquenchable faith in the God-Emperor of Mankind, in whose name they bring fiery retribution to the mutant, the witch and the heretic.

The work of the Ordo Hereticus requires many diverse skills and abilities. To expect one person, even an Inquisitor, to possess them all would be unrealistic. As a result, many Inquisitors gather a skilled coterie of loyal followers to aid them in their work.

Inquisitor Lord Karamazov goes to battle sitting on his Throne of Judgement. This ancient relic was presented to Karamazov upon his ascension to the rank of inquisitor Lord.

When a repentant heretic's crimes are so heinous that not even arco-flagellation is punishment enough, he may be interred in one of the ancient and holy shriving machines known as Penitent Engines. Driven by the heretic's frenzied need for forgiveness, the armoured machine charges forward into the enemy ranks, knowing that only in death can forgiveness be granted. Such machines are holy relics in themselves and a potent reminder of the fate of heretics.

A Penitent Engine may be added to your Witch Hunters army as a Heavy Support choice.

Arco-flagellation is a judgment that can be carried out on those found guilty of heresy or any of a multitude of crimes against the Emperor. Augmented with extensive physical surgery and mental reconditioning, their bodies are implanted with a fearsome array of lethal weaponry and chemical stimm injectors. Once activated, the Arco-flagellant's body is pumped full of deadly combat stimms that turn it into an unstoppable, berserk killing machine that feels no pain and has no sense of self-preservation.

Arco-flagellants may be added to your Witch Hunters army as an Elites choice.

To the Adepta Sororitas, those who seek absolution as a Sister Repentia occupy a state of grace that many aspire to, yet few ever attain, for to earn redemption is to give oneself entirely to the will of the Emperor. Confession and penance are part of a Sister's everyday existence, and those who fall short of the Sisterhood's rigorous codes may, in the most extreme of cases, find themselves exiled from their order and banished into groups armed with the mighty ceremonial evisverators and led into battle by the harsh mistresses.

Sisters Repentia may be added to your Witch Hunters army as an Elites choice.

Grey Hunter packs form the greater mass of Space Wolves warriors. Grey Hunters are strong and resolute fighters, tempered by battle but as hungry for honour as any proud warrior of Fenris.

At least one Grey Hunter Pack must be included in your Space Wolves army. Each Grey Hunter Pack coutns as a Troops choice.

Young Space Wolves fight in ferocious Blood Claw packs. They are fierce, often foolhardy warriors, eager to prove themselves and earn the respect of their elders. They will take almost any risk to win the fleeting glory that only youth and courage can bring.

A Blood Claws Pack may be included in your Space Wolves army as a Troops choice.

Death cults can be found on many Imperial worlds; many are Chaos-spawned and lend servitude only to Khorne the Blood God. Others are religiously, fanatically dedicated to the Imperial creed and offer those they slay to the Emperor, a payment of the blood-debt all mankind owes him.

Death Cult Assassins may be added to your Daemonhunters/Witch Hunters army as an Elites choice

In battle, the Black Templars continue to fight in the style of their founder, Sigismund. They prefer close combat to ranged warfare for one reason. Face-to-face with his enemy, a Black Templar can earn glory and respect and be sure that his foe is truly vanquished while fighting with righteous fury and the noblest ideals of honour.

An Assault squad may be included in your Black Templars Space Marine army as a Fast Attack choice.

It is usual for noted Space Marine warriors to be accompanied by a cadre of highly disciplined veterans. A Command squad often includes honoured warriors such as a Standard Bearer, Apothecary, or Techmarine.

Known as the Sword Brethren, these Space Marines are mighty heroes whose legends have become part of the chapter's history, and it is every Black Templar's ambition to become one of its elite. Clad in the finest suits of armour and bedecked with crusader seals, the Sword Brethren are the very image of a baroque warrior knight.

A young and ambitious race that is united in purpose, the Tau seek to bring enlightenment and unity to those who join them. Those who refuse will be taught the errors of their ways.

 While the races of the galaxy tear each other apart, the Tau grow stronger and stronger. On the Eastern Fringe of the galaxy, far from the power of Terra, world after world has fallen to the dynamic advance of the Tau. At the forefront of this rapid expansion are the warriors of the Fire Caste. Unfettered by Mankind's superstition toward and fear of technology, the Fire Warriors go into battle carrying weapons of immense power. Many of their elite warriors fight encased in battlesuits that can withstand the fiercest of attacks while delivering highly mobile firepower.

The elite warriors of the legendary Grey Knights Chapter are a fearsome force on the battlefield, trained to fight seemingly insurmountable odds and triumph. They are armed and armoured with the most ancient and revered artefacts from the dawn of the Imperium, and each is a potent psyker in his own right. It is whispered that these peerless warrior mystics endure the agonies of the Emperor's soul-binding as part of their final initiation. If such stories are true, their will power and stoicism must be far beyond that of even the most dedicated servants of the Imperium. Grey Knight Terminators may be added to your Daemonhunters army as an Elite choice. They may also be included as a Grey Knight Hero's Retinue. For the Grey Knight Hero himself, you may use a specially painted/converted Grey Knight Terminator model. The Grey Knight Hero and his retinue are counted as a single HQ choice.

The path of the Daermonhunter, the sacred trust of the Ordo Malleus, is one of the hardest an Inquisitor can take. They must bear witness to many insane and horrifying events. It is their duty to find and destroy the vile Daemonic minions of Chaos. These models can be used as either Inquisitor Lords or Inquisitors.

Through the long, secret history of the Inquisition there have been many who have advocated the study and harnessing of Warp entities in order to defeat the dark Gods. To some, such men are luminaries; to others they are radicals, individuals dangerously close to crossing the line and becoming one with the enemy. Such radical Inquisitors may even employ the services of bound Daemonhosts to further their ends - testimony to their success in taming the forces of Chaos according to them, but proof positive of their corruption to others.

Daemonhosts may be added to your Daemonhunters army as an Elites choice.

Night Lords attack by surprise and show absolutely no mercy to their unfortunate victims. Night Lord commanders are skilled raiders and will often plan attacks out in every detail to gain maximum effect without risking troops.

Tactical squads form the mainstay of each Space Marine Chapter. They are versatile fighters, able to speed forward in a Razorback and fight the enemy in close combat, or stay back and give supporting fire with their heavy weapons.The Razorback combines solid firepower with a modest troop-carrying capacity. While its guns blaze, it speeds ino position to deploy a combat squad into the heart of the enemy army.
