Choosing a Faction
The first step in recruiting a Warband is choosing its Faction. Every Warband belongs to a Faction fighting in the Great War. A comprehensive Faction List has been provided, detailing all their models, their associated rules, and Battlekit options for each of the Factions you can use. Once you have selected your Faction (and Variant Warband if you want to use one), you can use its Faction List to recruit your warband.
Alignment
All Warbands in this book are either Faithful or Fallen. Faithful Warbands are Heavenly-aligned and fight for the holy cause. Fallen Warbands are Hell-aligned and fight for the unholy cause. The Mercenaries that can be hired for a Warband will also have either Faithful or Fallen alignment. Unless stated otherwise, a Warband cannot include models of the opposing alignment.
Variant Warbands
A Variant Warband represents a specialised force which has its own unique models, special rules, and Battlekit. Most Faction Lists include Variant Warbands, which can be found after the main Warband entries in the list.
Warband Special Rules
Sometimes, a Warband or a Warband Variant will have special rules. When this is the case, they will appear at the start of the Faction List or just after the description of the Warband Variant.
