Start playing
Pick an army, build a Starter Force, learn the basics and get to the table. Everything a new commander needs, in five steps.
Step 1
Three armies are playable today. Each plays differently on the table.
Heralding from the Frozen Citadels of Icinir, The Confederation are an army focused on automated machines and drones. Their biological numbers decimated in the Asylum Wars, they now serve as nothing more than slaves to their new overlords, the Council. With suits that imprison and compel, drones that dart to and fro and mechanised soldiers that trudge toward the enemy, the Confederation seeks total dominance through technology and power.

From within the cities where it rains blood, deep under the mountains of corpses and chaotic fighting, the creatures called the Asylumists pour forth. Spawned of machines, without fear, remorse or hesitation, they exist only to kill rending both their own and any other life as they spill across the land in numbers incalculable. But from the chaos comes order as the Blood machines, maniacal masters of death, create their cybernetic forces to hide amongst the waves of the Horde and bring firepower to bear on any would-be enemy.

As the Void Storms subside a new threat emerges on Sythopia. It began as a pestilence, something ignored until it was too late. This new entity is born of death, re-animated at a cellular level, utilising others of its kind to blend, shape and control the necrotized material into deadly weapons and hideous forms. All life on the planet falls victim to the Host, living and dead, as simple cuts and dead cells move and swarm to claim their victims from within.
