22 個派系各有「氣質」。同樣是帝國軍隊，守衛 與 Custodes 一個是人海，一個是半神——選錯會玩得很痛苦。本頁把所有派系投射到兩軸象限：水平為「射擊 ↔ 近戰」，垂直為「菁英 ↔ 集團」。找到象限裡你喜歡的那一區，再往下看具體建議。
22 factions each have a "vibe." Guard vs Custodes are both Imperium, but one is a horde and the other is demigods — picking wrong makes you miserable. This page plots every faction on two axes: Shooting ↔ Melee (horizontal), Elite ↔ Horde (vertical). Find your corner, then read the recs.
位置為社群共識概括，個別陣表可能偏離象限。滑鼠移過圓點可看陣營全名。Positions reflect community consensus; individual lists may deviate from their quadrant. Hover to see full faction names.
七種風格原型Seven Archetypes
菁英型 菁英Elite
模型少而強，單一單位造價高、存活率極高。每個決定重要。
Few models, each a monster. High per-model cost, extreme survivability. Every decision counts.
e.g. Custodes · Grey Knights · Deathwatch
集團型 集團Horde
100+ 模型淹沒對手。單兵廉價，靠數量佔領目標。
100+ models that drown the opponent. Cheap individuals, claim objectives through sheer presence.
e.g. Astra Militarum · Orks · Tyranids · Genestealer Cults
射擊型 射擊Shooty / Gunline
在遠方佈陣火力網，讓對手冒火衝上來才能戰。
Set up a gunline, make the opponent cross the board under fire.
e.g. T'au · Guard · Leagues of Votann · Adeptus Mechanicus
近戰型 近戰Melee / Assault
衝上去砍。快速前進與衝鋒決定勝負。
Get up close and cut. Fast moves and charges decide the game.
e.g. World Eaters · Blood Angels · Tyranids · Orks
詭計型 詭計Tricksy
以機動、欺敵、傳送為核心。操作難度高，但能在局勢中完成不可能的動作。
Mobility, misdirection, teleports. High skill cap but can pull off impossible plays.
e.g. Harlequins · Drukhari · Aeldari · Thousand Sons · Genestealer Cults
全能型 平衡dBalanced / Generalist
沒有明顯弱點也沒有明顯強點。既能射擊也能近戰，任何情境都有合理選擇。
No glaring weaknesses, no standouts either. Can shoot and fight; every situation has reasonable options.
e.g. Space Marines · Chaos Space Marines · Sisters of Battle
耐打型 耐打Durable / Attrition
殺不死的單位、持續回血或重建。贏在第 5 回合比對手還有更多單位在場。
Units that refuse to die — regen, resurrect, reanimate. Win by out-lasting, not out-damaging.
e.g. Necrons · Death Guard · Iron Hands (SM) · Leagues of Votann
複雜度與操作難度Complexity & Skill Ceiling
同象限的陣營難度也可能天差地遠。三星代表「新手選這個會挫折」，一星代表「上手即熟練」。Within the same archetype, complexity can vary wildly. Three dots = "steep learning curve"; one dot = "intuitive from game 1".

最佳建議Best advice:
選你「覺得最帥」的派系，不要只看強度。操作兩年的是模型，而不是勝率表。
Pick the faction whose models and story you love most — not the tier-list winner. You'll live with these minis for years; meta shifts quarterly.
