WARHAMMER'S IMPERIUM FACTIONS, RANKED | New Player Guide

Do you agree with our rankings? Tell us at [https://discord.gg/2dX5JqfNQ6](Discord) – We're back to where it all started; we are redoing our original four episodes! Those inaugural episodes served as both an introduction to and a metrics-based review of each playable faction in Warhammer 40,000. With 11th edition landing hot and new players joining the scene, we feel it's a great time to revisit this faction breakdown format. In our second episode, we cover the Imperium beside the Space Marines, from the human meat-shields and operatives of the empire to the esoteric mindsets and bio-engineered demigods at its inward core. – This series blends matter-of-fact orientation with opinionated review. We give each of the four categories a ranking between 1-5, and an overall score out of 20. We call this the S.L.A.G ranking. We feel these categories cover all you need to know: STYLE - the overall aesthetic and whether we feel it is fully realised. LORE - their place in the universe, how they are represented, and how they carry themselves within the epic. ACCESSIBILITY - whether the faction is easy to acquire, paint, and get going with. GAMEPLAY - how all of the above comes to life on the tabletop, whether their rules serve the faction well, and whether the faction does well both casually and competitively. – TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Intro and explaining our ranking system 04:04 Adepta Sororitas, my beloved 19:49 Adeptus Custodes, the Emperor's Bodyguards 33:57 Adeptus Mechanicus, or, the Derpy Beep-Boops 49:14 Astra Militarum, ooh-rah 01:01:26 ... sigh, Imperial Agents 01:09:02 I M P E R I A L K N I G H T S 01:18:45 Outro.
