Races of Bolt & Blade

Choose what kind of warrior, survivor, monster, zealot, or weapon you want to become. Bolt & Blade begins with the Imperium, but the galaxy is vast, hateful, ancient, and full of things that were never meant to share the same battlefield.

// Version 1.0 · Doctrine

Version 1.0 focuses on Imperial character options: ordinary humans, augmented servants of the Machine Cult, and transhuman warriors built for war. Future expansions will open the door to xenos, heretics, raiders, ancient machines, and stranger things that should probably never be allowed near a character sheet.
