Total War: Warhammer 40,000 Factions

Every confirmed faction for Total War: Warhammer 40,000 — Space Marines, Aeldari, Orks and Astra Militarum.

Confirmed Factions

Space Marines

The Imperium’s elite

Genetically enhanced weapons of war, these warriors are few in number but near unmatched in power. Clad in sacred armour and wielding the Imperium’s most deadly wargear, they are the Emperor’s finest.

Confirmed in the official Orks vs. The Imperium gameplay showcase — expect armoured, elite, low-count but high-impact units.

Aeldari

Ancient xenos race

An ancient and waning xenos race, who once ruled the stars, but now rail against their certain fate. Swift and elusive, they strike with psychic precision and elegant weaponry.

The Aeldari are confirmed on the official site — fragile but fast, with psychic powers and hit-and-run tactics.

Orks

Brutish hordes of destruction

Unrelenting, countless and live for war. Storming the battlefield in endless mobs, they brandish unpredictable weapons and clanking war machines.

The face of the reveal: the Orks vs. The Imperium extended gameplay shows horde-style mobs and ramshackle war engines.

Astra Militarum

Humanity’s largest fighting force

The massed ranks of humanity’s largest fighting force are a bulwark of flesh and steel. Their legions of soldiers march beneath the roar of battle-tanks.

Confirmed on the official site — artillery, tanks and overwhelming numbers, the classic Imperial Guard playstyle.
More coming. Total War games traditionally ship with a large roster of playable factions. The four confirmed factions are the launch identity — expect more reveals as the 2026 launch approaches.
