艾達AELDARI (Craftworlds)
艾達 (舊稱 Eldar) 是銀河最古老的智慧種族之一。數千年前他們的文明因過度享樂而「墮落」──那場心靈大爆炸直接誕生了混沌神史臘尼什，並毀滅了艾達世界。
倖存者乘坐巨型 Craftworld (工藝世界) 星艦逃亡，在宇宙中流浪。他們過著極端紀律的生活，遵循「心靈之路 (Path)」避免再次墮落。所有艾達都是天生強大的靈能者。
戰場上，他們如外科手術般精確──脆弱但極快、一擊必殺。
The Aeldari (formerly "Eldar") are one of the galaxy\'s oldest civilisations. Millennia ago their decadent indulgence birthed the Chaos god Slaanesh in a psychic cataclysm that annihilated their homeworlds.
Survivors fled aboard vast Craftworlds — kilometre-long starship-continents. They now live under rigid discipline, following the "Paths" to prevent another Fall. Every Aeldari is born a powerful psyker.
On the tabletop they fight like a scalpel — fragile but blindingly fast, and surgically lethal.

黑暗艾達DRUKHARI (Dark Eldar)
他們是艾達的「不悔」族支──墮落後沒有進入 Craftworlds，而是躲進翹曲夾層中的暗城 Commorragh。
他們仍然必須「餵養」自己的靈魂以免被史臘尼什吞噬，方法是從凡人那裡榨取痛苦與恐懼。因此他們成為整個銀河最殘忍的海盜，定期對獵物世界發動「折磨之旅」。
戰場上：高速突襲、高殺傷、超級脆弱。其中 大部分船艦在打完一場就消失不見，典型的「打了就跑」陣營。
The Aeldari who refused to repent. After the Fall they hid in Commorragh, a dark city tucked inside the Webway.
They still must feed their souls or Slaanesh consumes them — they do so by inflicting suffering on mortals. Hence the galaxy\'s cruellest raiders, running constant "torture expeditions" on unwitting worlds.
On the table: fast, brutal, paper-thin armour. Drukhari lists are the purest "strike and fade" experience in 40K.

死靈NECRONS
死靈本來是有機生命體，但他們將靈魂轉入永生機器身體以對抗更強大的敵人 (C\'tan 星神)。交易的代價是失去大部分個體情感。
戰爭結束後他們陷入沉睡 6000 萬年。M41 末期開始大規模覺醒，重新聲稱銀河的主權。M42 由 寂靜之王 (Silent King) 啟動 Pariah Nexus，目標是讓翹曲完全死亡──這是當前第十版的主戰役。
戰場上：耐打到變態，被殺的模型還會 復活 協議 重生。對新手很友善。
The Necrons were once flesh (Necrontyr), but traded their bodies for eternal metal to defeat the star-god C\'tan. The price: most of them lost their souls in the transfer.
After the war they slept for 60 million years. In late M41 they began en-masse awakenings. In M42 the Silent King activated the Pariah Nexus — a weapon that kills the Warp itself. This is the backbone of 10th edition\'s current campaign.
In play: absurdly tanky. Dead models come back via Reanimation Protocols. Very newbie-friendly faction.

獸人ORKS
獸人是生物工程產物──說真的他們是 菌類，不是動物。從地底孢子長出來，成熟後只有一個目的：打架。越大越強，Warboss 可以長到巨無霸等級。
獸人有一個集體意識 「Gestalt 場」──他們相信什麼就會成真 (有一定範圍限制)。所以他們的 KUSTOM 裝備即使看起來荒謬，只要「足夠多獸人都認為它能用」，它就真的能用。
戰場上：大量便宜步兵、改裝車輛、巨型 巨型獸機 泰坦。節奏極快、擲一桌的骰。最歡樂的 40K 陣營。
Orks are bio-engineered — they\'re literally fungus, not animals. They sprout from spores in the soil and have one purpose: fighting. The more they fight, the bigger they get; a top Warboss can rival a Space Marine Dreadnought.
Orks share a collective psychic field known as the "Gestalt" — if enough Orks believe a piece of kit will work, it actually works (a red tank IS faster than a blue one). Their absurd KUSTOM tech becomes genuinely functional.
On the table: huge horde infantry, scrappy vehicles, giant Gargant titans. Fast-paced, lots of dice — the purest "fun" faction in 40K.

泰倫TYRANIDS
泰倫不是「一個種族」，而是一個單一的跨銀河集體意識：Hive Mind (蟲巢意志)。所有泰倫生物都是它為吞噬行星而量身定做的生物兵器。他們來自銀河外的虛空，目的只有一個──把所有生物物質回收、用來長出更多蟲。
他們以「蟲群艦隊」行動。最有名的三支是 貝希摩斯、海妖、利維坦──最後一個是當前第十版的主要蟲潮，也是核心套裝的劇情。
戰場上：可以是海戰術 (小蟲) 也可以是怪獸秀 (卡尼斐獸、暴君獸)。美學極有特色：有機、節肢、幾何恐怖。
The Tyranids aren\'t really a "species" — they\'re a single galactic hive-mind. Every Tyranid organism is a bio-weapon crafted for planetary consumption. They came from outside the galaxy; their only goal is to reduce all biomass into raw material for more Tyranids.
They travel as Hive Fleets. The famous three are Behemoth, Kraken, and Leviathan — the last being the main threat in 10th edition\'s starter box.
In play: either swarm horde (lots of small bugs) or monster mash (huge Carnifexes). Iconic aesthetic — organic, chitinous, geometric-horror.

鈦星人帝國T\'AU EMPIRE
鈦星人是 40K 裡 最年輕 的種族──只比人類「現代」的文明晚 6000 年左右。他們相信「Greater Good (大善)」理念：所有種族合作共享資源。他們也同意「接不接受你的選擇，但接受後要完全融入」。
鈦星人沒有靈能者，這在 40K 是異類。他們以科技補償：懸浮戰甲、遠程榴彈砲、無人機 輔助。美學風格是 宏觀ss / Gundam 機甲混合。
戰場上：純射擊流派的極致。重武器 + 高命中 + 長射程。近戰一塌糊塗。
The T\'au are the youngest species on the field — only some 6,000 years ahead of modern humanity. Their ideology is the "Greater Good": all species should cooperate. They welcome other races… as long as they join fully.
The T\'au have no psykers — uniquely for 40K. They compensate with tech: hover battlesuits, long-range railguns, drone support. Their aesthetic is Macross × Gundam.
In play: the ultimate gunline. Heavy weapons, high accuracy, long range. Terrible in melee.

基因偷竊教派GENESTEALER CULTS
當一隻泰倫 竊基因者 爬過人類的身體，會植入「之吻（基因感染）」。被感染者完全不知道、但他們所生的孩子會是混血。三代以下變成普通人類樣，但在泰倫降臨時自然而然地為其效力。
他們形成秘密教派，滲透工業行星的礦坑、工廠、甚至總督府。表面是普通宗教狂熱，實則是 群智 的內應。蟲族 艦隊來臨時，他們起義協助 群 瓦解防禦。
戰場上：海量便宜步兵 + 偷襲部署 + 從地底鑽出。主打「先起義再作戰」的非對稱戰術。
When a Tyranid Genestealer touches a human, it implants the "Kiss" — a latent gene-seed. The infected doesn\'t know, but their descendants are hybrids. By the third generation they look human — then a Hive Fleet arrives and they rise up on instinct.
They form secret cults on industrial worlds: mines, factories, even the Governor\'s palace. They look like any local religion until the Tyranid arrival — then they revolt to cripple planetary defences.
In play: cheap horde, ambush deployment, pops-from-underground mechanics. The definitive "insurgency" faction.

沃坦同盟LEAGUES OF VOTANN
人類在 科技黑暗時代 時代送到銀河深處殖民的基改後裔。重力環境讓他們矮化成現在的模樣。經過一萬年獨立演化，他們早已不再認為自己屬於帝國。
他們崇拜的「沃坦 (沃坦)」其實是古老的 AI 超級電腦──這對機械教而言是瀆神異端，但沃坦人對此毫不在意。他們重視採礦、家族、工藝。
戰場上：重甲步兵 + 重型武器 + 實用主義。小規模但穩健，像精英射擊派。
Genetically-engineered human descendants sent to the galactic core during the Dark Age of Technology. Ten millennia of high-gravity environments shrank them into the stout "space dwarfs" we know. They no longer consider themselves Imperial.
They worship the "Votann" — ancient AI supercomputers. This is rank heresy to the Mechanicus, but the Leagues don\'t care. They value mining, kinship, and craftsmanship.
In play: heavy-armour infantry, utility-focused weapons, compact but hard-hitting gunline. An elite shooting faction.
