Defense Forces
Holding ground and preventing enemy forces from advancing are the tasks assigned to the Cadian Shock Troops. Devoted and immoveable, if they are not enough, the Heavy Weapon Squad provides close fire support.
Elite Forces
Orgyn’s are brutal, loyal and resilient, making them a powerful weapon, enhanced by the psychic support of Primaris Psykers. Alongside assault specialists, the Kasrkin, gamers can experience the attack power of the Imperium’s Elite forces. Fans will also have fun with the Chimera units, which are dedicated transports that protect and support the infantry.
Tanks and Cannons
Crushing the enemy lines is the task of the Rogal Dorn Battle Tank, Leman Russ Demolisher, the Leman Russ Vanquisher and the Leman Russ Punisher. Their powerful firepower provides a solid solution against all types of enemies and fortifications. Players will have no problem moving between rubble and ruins, as the Armored Sentinels are the most agile vehicles of the Emperor’s hammer. But the most lethal weapons are the Earthshaker Cannons on Basilisk tanks and the Deathstrike Missile, capable of vaporizing almost everything. Last but not least, gamers will dominate the skies with Valkyrie units.
