Beware, gentle reader, for you have stumbled upon an article hidden within The Vaults. These dim and dusty halls are a resting place for articles that are seldom read, seldom updated, and sometimes woefully obsolete. Plus, you know, all the other junk we can't find a better place for.

This article shows which Mercenary & Minion models work for which Faction.

This page hasn't really been kept up to date since 2019.06. You'd be better off looking at the various sub-categories of Category:Mercenary and Category:Minion, which are up-to-date.

Mercenaries

A ✓ indicates the model will work for that Faction. A [✓] means it requires a 2+ warcaster game. A (★) indicates the model is a Partisan for that Faction. A tick in the "Minion" box means that model will also work for one or more Hordes factions, and vice versa. You may need to look at both sections.

Mercenary Warjacks (& Monstrosities) All Mercenary warjacks (with one exception) can work for any Faction. The thing is, though, they must be controlled by a Mercenary model (with two more exceptions). So if you want to add a Mercenary warjack to your force, first you need to find a controller that will work for your Faction. List of Mercenary Controllers [Expand/Collapse] Tip ! There are three "subsets" of Mercenary warjacks/monstrosities (Human, Rhulic, and Cephalyx), which further limit who can control what, and subsequently which force it can work for.

When he does so, he becomes a Cygnar model via his Partisan rule. The Toro and Vanguard can be controlled by a Crucible Guard model because they have the Maker's Mark rule (Note that this does not apply to Lukas in the Hearts of Darkness Infernals theme, due to the wording on Maker's Mark).

Minions

A ✓ indicates the model will work for that Faction. A [✓] means it requires a 2+ warlock game. A (★) indicates the model is a Partisan for that Faction. A tick in the "Mercenary" box means that model will also work for one or more Warmachine factions, and vice versa. You may need to look at both sections.

Minion Warbeasts All Minion warbeasts can work for any Faction. The thing is, though, they must be controlled by a Minion model (with one exception). So if you want to add a Minion warbeast to your force, first you need to find a controller that will work for your Faction. List of Minion Controllers [Expand/Collapse] Tip ! There are two "subsets" of Minon warbeasts (Farrow, and Gatorman), which further limit who can control what, and subsequently which force it can work for.

And when they do so, those warbeasts become Skorne models. Minion Battle Engines
