Warhammer Survivors Characters: How to Unlock Every Hero

Warhammer Survivors features a roster of over 40 playable characters drawn from both the Warhammer 40,000 and Age of Sigmar universes. Players begin with basic units like Malum Caedo and Neave Blacktalon, but must complete specific gameplay challenges, rescue hidden NPCs, or collect rare Paint Pots to unlock the full roster. Unlocking these characters is essential for progression, as many are required to access advanced weapon evolutions and relics.

Warhammer 40,000 Character Roster

The 40K universe features iconic heroes from the Space Marines, Sisters of Battle, and the Astra Militarum. While some are available for purchase immediately, many require finding them on specific stages like the Imperial Bastion or Ork Stronghold.

Age of Sigmar Character Roster

The Age of Sigmar roster focuses on Stormcast Eternals, Fyreslayers, and other Order factions. Several of these characters are unlocked by evolving specific weapons or signing trade agreements across multiple stages.

Advanced Unlock Quests

Certain characters require multi-step quests or specific stage interactions rather than simple kill counts or rescue missions.

Technoarcheologist Daedalosus (40K)

Unlocking Daedalosus requires a quest spanning several 40K stages:

1. Locate him in the Desert Wasteland (East of spawn).
2. Purchase the Teleportarium for 10,000 coins to enable Astropathic Relays.
3. Activate the relay in Desert Wasteland.
4. Activate the relays in all other 40K stages:
   • Imperial Bastion: North of spawn.
   • Gallowdark: North-east of spawn.
   • Ork Stronghold: North-eastern square.
   • Imperial Shipyard: West quadrant (via teleporter).
   • Death World Invasion: West of spawn.

Balphamus Vaulk (40K)

To unlock Vaulk, you must first unlock Daedalosus. Use Daedalosus to complete the Hobby Table stage, which grants the Ferrosanctic Orrery relic. Once this relic is active, Vaulk will appear on 40K stages. You can then find him (e.g., North-west square on Ork Stronghold) and purchase him directly.

Major Docheval (AoS)

Docheval is a secret character. To unlock him:

1. Purchase Juntar Bernskyn.
2. Find the Amberbone relic in Gnarlwood (located East).
3. Play as Juntar Bernskyn and reach maximum level with both the Fusil-Cannon and Tactical Rock to trigger the morph.
4. Alternative: Enter the secret code greywaterfastness in the secrets menu.

Brokk and Drekki (AoS)

These Kharadron Overlords require "Trade Agreements."

• Brokk Grungsson: Find him North in Gnarlwood and buy the Barak-Nar Contract. You must then find him and buy this contract on every other AoS stage (The Great Parch, Skrappa Spill, Bloodwind Spoil, Under-Empire, and The Twin-Tailed City).
• Drekki Flynt: Requires Brokk to be unlocked first. Find the Arcanoscope (West in Gnarlwood) and the Atmospheric Anatomiser (East in Bloodwind Spoil). Locate Drekki North of the Bloodwind Spoil spawn to start the Barak-Mhornar contract quest, purchasing it on every AoS stage.

Paint Pot Requirements

Paint pots are shared across both 40K and Age of Sigmar universes and are required for several high-tier character unlocks like Lieutenant Titus.

• Abaddon Black: Found North-west in Imperial Bastion.
• Agrax Earthshade: Defeat 10,000 enemies using Nuln Oil.
• Celestra Grey: Defeat 10,000 enemies in Ork Stronghold.
• Drakenhof Nightshade: Use the Suffocating Gravetide (green skull pickup) 10 times.
