First Survivors Revealed

Yes, you heard right, Imperial Citizen, we will allow you a few minutes from your shift in the Hive Manufactorum to read the latest Warhammer Survivors news. Warhammer Survivors thrusts you into the endless war of Warhammer 40,000’s Grim Dark future and Warhammer Age of Sigmar’s Mortal Realms, but no – that doesn’t mean Malum Caedo is going to hop through a Realmgate and blast away a bunch of Skaven hordes (and if you truly think so, report to your nearest Inquisitor to have your Warp-addled minds examined).

Today, we’re going to take a quick look at all of the characters we’ve shown so far. 👀

You last saw some ofthem in our Reveal Trailer, gunning down hordes of Tyranids and Skaven. Now, they're here for an additional exposé, just be careful they don't mistake you for one of those swarming masses.

Incidentally, if you haven't performed your daily (and mandatory) watching of our Reveal Trailer yet, click below 👇

First up, Warhammer 40,000’s defenders of the Imperium:

Malum Caedo, Sternguard Veteran

It would be fair to say that we're MORE than a little biased when it comes to the Boltgun-firing, heretic-purging Space Marine that is Malum Caedo. He is the titular protagonist of Auroch Digital's other Warhammer game(s) Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun (and now Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2).

As an Adeptus Astartes of the Ultramarines Chapter's 1st Company, Malum was dispatched to the Forge World of Graia to quell a Chaos incursion of Daemons and Chaos-worshipping scum.

Given that Malum is a Sternguard Veteran, he has an aptitude for a vast arsenal of different weapons. In Warhammer Survivors, he's parked his signature Boltgun to get up close and personal by entering the fray with his Chainsword, which unleashes horizontal serrated attacks – perfect for eviscerating multiple enemies in one fell [serrated] swoop.

Trooper Kozlowski, Cadian Shock Trooper

Unable to call upon the powerful Adeptus Astartes for every conflict, the Imperium's high command must rely on the tithe of Imperial guardsmen to fight their wars. These regiments are the Hammer of the Emperor, ready to push back the horrors of the universe or die in droves against unstoppable waves of Xenos, Heretics and the unknown.

Trooper Kozlowski, a Cadian Shock Trooper, represents the backbone of the Astra Militarum. He's a tenacious soldier armed with only his faith and the belief that his lasgun will do the trick.

But, as a Cadian Shock Trooper, Kozlowski doesn't fight alone. His starting weapon, the lasgun, fires at the nearest enemy, but as it levels up, squadmates join his side, unleashing a barrage of small arms fire to whittle down the swarms.

Now, if only he had a trooper who could wield something a little more... heavy duty? 👀

Brother Luca, Space Marine Intercessor

If Trooper Kozlowski represents the desperate determination of the Astra Militarum, then Brother Luca, a Space Marine Intercessor, represents the might of the Adeptus Astartes, colloquially known as the Space Marines and more rarely, the Angels of Death.

Brother Luca is an entirely new character created for Warhammer Survivors (whose namesake might be a reference to our game's roots). Like Malum Caedo, Brother Luca fights under the banner of the Ultramarines, starting with a Boltgun in his sibling's stead.

While the iconic gun is powerful enough to blast Tyranid termagants apart, the evolved version of the weapon, the Heavy Bolter, unleashes a stream of unrelenting firepower, taking on the toughest of Tyranid swarms
