Warhammer Survivors launches with over 40 playable champions; 16 have been officially named so far: 9 from Warhammer 40,000 and 7 from Age of Sigmar. Each universe has its own roster (a few weapons are shared). Six of them are playable in the free Steam demo. Back to the Warhammer Survivors guide.

How champions and weapons interact
- Every character, weapon and some items have keywords. Some weapons are locked to one champion, such as Calgar's Gauntlets of Ultramar or Gotrek's Zangrom-Thaz.
- Pick up a weapon your champion's keywords do not allow and an ally joins as a follower to use it. Followers cannot take damage or collect items, and several can squad up at once.
- Combos the developer has highlighted: Lorai + Bastian Carthalos (fog pulls enemies into his close-range zones) and the Castellan + Trooper Kozlowski (each Cadian squadmate counts towards the Castellan's damage).
- Each champion has unique weapons and starting stats; paint pots found in runs unlock new character forms.
Not confirmed
- The remaining 24+ champions, and how each is unlocked.
- Starting weapons for Commissar Yarrick and the Castellan, and Pask's exact weapon.
- Characters glimpsed in key art or trailers but not named by the developer are not listed here.
