11Warhammer Survivors pits its champions against endless swarms from six enemy factions, three in each universe. Nearly every stage is built around one faction, and each faction has its own Extremis Boss (see Bosses). Within a faction, most enemies are fodder, but several have unique behaviours and skills that challenge a familiar weapon build.22FactionUniverseRevealedKnown StagesTyranidsWarhammer 40,000November 4, 2025Imperial BastionOrksWarhammer 40,000April 9, 2026Ork StrongholdDeath GuardWarhammer 40,000May 21, 2026GallowdarkSkavenWarhammer Age of SigmarNovember 4, 2025The Great Parch, HammerhalBlades of KhorneWarhammer Age of SigmarMay 21, 2026HammerhalGloomspite GitzWarhammer Age of SigmarOctober 6, 2026Not stated44Enemy Skills and Faction Traits55Enemy skills let certain units move unpredictably, charge suddenly, heal, or flee only to return. Faction Traits are extra mechanics inspired by the tabletop game that affect a whole faction, such as unique behaviours or damage resistances. As of October 2026, two Faction Traits have been detailed: the Tyranids' Synapse and the Orks' Waaagh!.77Tyranids99In Warhammer 40,000 the Tyranids are a swarm of alien bioforms directed by a Hive Mind. In the game they appear as a ravenous swarm of large and small bioforms, and they were one of the two factions in the first Demo.1111EnemyBehaviour in the GameHive TyrantA Synapse creature that drives nearby lesser bioforms into a rageTermagants and HormagauntsSwarm units made Berserk (faster, more damaging) by nearby SynapseVon Ryan's LeaperUses Pounce: rears up and leaps over other enemies to strike the player1313Synapse trait: Synapse creatures buff their brood, and destroying them leaves nearby lesser bioforms in a temporary stunned, weakened state. Auroch advises killing Synapse creatures quickly to avoid being overrun.1414Orks1616The Orks were revealed in April 2026 on the new Ork Stronghold stage. They throw many different enemy types at the player, from Grots and Bomb Squigs to Ork Boyz and Lootas firing across the battlefield. Their leader and Extremis Boss is Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka.1818Waaagh! trait: when the screen starts turning red, a Waaagh! is coming. During it, Orks spawn in greater numbers and become frenzied.2020Death Guard2222The Death Guard, heretic Chaos Space Marines devoted to Nurgle, were revealed at the Warhammer Skulls showcase in May 2026. They are durable and slow, and they stomp through the corridors of the Gallowdark stage. Other units seen include Poxwalkers, Plaguebearers, Plague Marines and Blightlord Terminators, with more not yet shown.2424EnemyBehaviour in the GameMyphitic Blight-HaulerBombards the player from range with frag missiles that explode and apply PoisonedBeast of NurgleCharges the player, pausing only to regenerate; near death it enters a frenzy and then explodesMiasmic MalignifierA stationary and particularly resilient enemy that emits pockets of poison fog around it2626Skaven2727The Skaven ratmen were one of the first two factions revealed and the Age of Sigmar faction in the first demo.
