The players in the campaign, so far. There are more in our group who may join in the campaign in the future, and anyone can add a new army and expand the story. Hopefully this list grows...
Jacob's primary army in the campaign will be Space Wolves. Additionally, he has started to expand his imperial forces with an Astra Miliatarum force, using the Catachan miniatures. This force is used to represent one of the many broken up factions of loyalist Imperial forces that are fighting against the Tau and the rebels who joined the xenos empire. Finally, Jacob has a large ork force that can be used to represent the greenskin infestation on Oxalis. Plenty of directions for Jacob to go.
James has not yet played in the campaign, but has helped developed the background. Amongst the armies he has available to play are Eldar, Necrons and Chaos. If the planet of Shlaereen is ever awoken, it will most likely be his Necrons who emerge. With his Eldar force, the only real limitation is our imagination in developing a plot. The Eldar have many parts to play in the campaign, from concealing the existence of Shlaereen, turning the tides on Altimer, preventing chaos from invading the Altimer system, and many more. The Eldar have as many options as possible futures their Farseers minds. Finally, the taint of chaos is in James mind, and a plot to introduce chaos into the Altimer system lurks...
So far, Jason has played as Eldar for the campaign, but has a vast amount of forces that could potentially become involved at some point. Similar to James, his Eldar forces can be used to play a great many parts in the evolving story. One of his other armies can alway join the storyline as the it evolves, so we may see Blood Angels, Astra Militarum, Alpha Legion, and even more Necrons in the future.
Mark will be mainly be representing the forces of the Tau Empire, spreading the greater good across the Altimer system. Fighting alongside his Tau forces will be the Altimer rebels who turned against the Imperium. For now, this force will be using the Militarum Tempestus rules, but may expand to a more generic Astra Militarum army in the future. Similar to others in the group, many other options exists with Ultramarines, Chaos, Demons, Orks, Astra Militarum, and Mechanicus.
