Aligned as one, the civilised races of the Realms go forth to claim the lands and restore Order, Sigmar's Sigmarines Stormcast Eternals leading the fray.
Armies of the Aelves
Look! It's the Elves Aelves! As fancy and effeminate as ever, and now split into 11 (!) different factions.
Darkling Covens -
Daughters of Kaine -
Eldritch Council -
Lion Rangers -
Order Draconis -
Order Serpentis -
Phoenix Temple -
Scourge Privateers - Apparently now monster hunters. They go around capturing fantastical beasts and selling them (either whole to be tamed and trained or in bits and pieces) to different organisations for some coin.
Shadowblades -
Swifthawk Agents -
Wanderers -
Armies of the Duardin
The Dwarfs Duardin are back, and are as grumpy and beardy as ever.
Dispossessed - Classic dorfs. Still holding grudges and generally being grumpy.
Fyreslayers - Expanding on the Slayers, here's a whole faction of them (and no, they don't slay fire, incorrectly spelled or otherwise). Ride atop giant salamanders and possess very little in the way of clothing.
Steamhead Duardin - Steampunk dorfs.
Armies of Man
Now relegated to "silly normals" status, mankind are now the Imperial Guard to the Stormcast's Space Marines.
Collegiate Arcane - Assorted wizards and magical scenery. You can now play a full army of dress-wearing spellslingers! Rejoice!
Free Peoples - What remains of the Empire list. It turns out that thousands of years later, in a totally different place in time and space, men and women still dress in exactly the same silly feathered hats and pantaloons and there has been no cultural shift or development in that time whatsoever. This is despite the fact that the denizens of the Realms are generally described as being barbarians (which the Stormcast have been drawn from) and all other vestiges of human society have been laid into by Chaos hordes. The models still have Empire heraldry and symbols up the wazoo, meaning that Freeguild General that has "Karl Franz" emblazoned across his griffon's armour? Total coincidence... and while we're at it, what the fuck's a Reikland?
Seraphon
The lizards are back, but they are now demon space lizards, apparently. Very blue and very angry at Chaos, they appear from nowhere to mulch the gribblies at every opportunity. Due to racial memory, the Skaven are absolutely terrified of them.
Stormcast Eternals
Extremis Chamber - It's the Sigmarines, but to the extreme! Totally radical! No, it's The Stormcast Eternals, but on Dracoths and Stardrakes. They came out after the Order Battletome, so they needed to put them in another book, basically.
Stormcast Eternals - It's the Sigmarines! The new poster boys of the setting, and likely the result of several GW board meetings trying to tap into the "male power fantasy" (and annoyingly, by how well sales have been, everything seems to be going according to plan). They are essentially the Fantasy answer to 40k's Space Marines, being nigh-immortal demigods who are viewed with mixed awe and fear by both allies and enemies. Unlike Space Marines (barring one or two examples), they basically can't die under normal circumstance. Upon death, they are warped back to Sigmar's side, smacked about with a hammer reforged, then sent back. Nagash doesn't like this, and takes whatever bits of their soul he can grab on their way out, making them come back more and more like automatons.
Sylvaneth
Tree people.
Others
Ironweld Arsenal - A bunch of Human and Duardin engineers came together and compared notes. Cannons and general siege machines. Seems to be intended for use as an ally for artillery support, but does also have things like gyrocopters included too.
Bretonnia (Warscrolls Compendium: Bretonnia[1]) - Not a faction in the fluff, as its models are now discontinued and they've gone the way of the dodo. Still have rules on the GW website, meaning you can use them to have your own flavours of knightly orders and stinking peasantry.
Pantheon
Sigmar -
