2	--------------
3	[[folder:Hiero von Remus]]
4	[[quoteright:241:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Hiero1_8036.jpg]]
5	[[caption-width-right:241:The truth is, we can't even choose the way we die...]]
6	* AllThereInTheManual: He is a rogue trader, and his [[ChekhovsGun protective amulet]] was given to him by some Eldar Harlequins.
7	* ArcWords: "In this universe one is either sacrificed, or can sacrifice themself."
8	* BadassLongcoat
9	* BadassNormal
10	* CheshireCatGrin: After fatally distracting a pair of guards.
11	* TheCynic: And yet, he will [[KnightInSourArmour go out of his way]] to take former slaves and distrusted psykers under his wing.
12	* DueToTheDead: He takes Oktavian's memory chip and promises to return it to the Adeptus Mechanicus. [[spoiler: Sadly, he dies before he can do so]].
13	* FatherToHisMen: He gets very emotional after the deaths of [[spoiler: Oktavian]] and [[spoiler: Wodan]].
14	* GuileHero
15	* JadeColouredGlasses
16	* PetTheDog: He is a lot nicer to Nira than Osmar (who sneers off one of her fainting spells).
17	* UnresolvedSexualTension: A minor case, with Nira.
18	* YouShallNotPass: Unfortunately, it plays out as a PunchPunchPunchUhOh[[/folder]]
19
20	[[folder:Sergeant Corris]]
21	[[quoteright:289:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Corris1_6425.jpg]]
22	[[caption-width-right:289:In the name of the damned Inquisition, I hereby adjourn this meeting!]]
23	* AssKickingPose: Often stands with one gun held out and one up by his face, in a manner reminiscent of [[Film/{{Equilibrium}} John Preston]].
24	* BadassLongcoat
25	* {{Bond One Liner}}: "I can't see you anymore."
26	* CombatPragmatist: With occasional forays into GunFu.
27	* FireForgedFriends: With Adeodatus.
28	* GunsAkimbo: He carries ''[[CrazyPrepared both]]'' a [[EnergyWeapon laspistol]] and an [[KineticWeaponsAreJustBetter autopistol]].
29	* IJustShotMarvinInTheFace: Deserves a special mention, as he uses his guns for everything from pushing open doors to scratching his nose. At least he's smart enough not to use the barrel for the latter.
30	* KnightInSourArmour
31	* TheLancer
32	* NumberOneDime: His lucky playing card (which is where his nickname "Spade Ace" comes from). It might just have the powers he claims.
33	* ThisIsGonnaSuck: "Heavy weapon, 12 o'clock!"[[/folder]]
34
35	[[folder:Wodan Dubrovnik]]
36	[[quoteright:287:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Wodan1_9233.jpg]]
37	[[caption-width-right:287:You remember those times on Necromunda?]]
38	* BFG: His weapon is a bolter, more commonly carried by SpaceMarines.
39	** LawOfInverseRecoil: Averted, he also quite clearly struggles with the recoil.
40	* TheBigGuy: Both literally and figuritively.
41	* BurnTheWitch: Initially, he is very hostile towards Nira.
42	* DogFoodDiet: He is partial to rat burgers.
43	* HotBlooded
44	* LargeHam
45	* MadeOfIron: An RPG goes off pretty much at his feet and he is no more than temporarily stunned.
46	* MartialArtsHeadband: The red "Franchise/{{Rambo}}" headband is a good visual cue to the audience that he is from Catachan.[[/folder]]
47
48	[[folder:Oktavian]]
49	[[quoteright:277:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Oktavian1_4659.jpg]]
50	[[caption-width-right:277:The eye of the Machine God is...embittered down here.]]
51	* CostumePorn: His costume really stands out in terms of attention to detail, complete with bionic enhancements, excess wires and Mechanicus symbols.
52	** Somewhat AwesomeButImpractical from a meta perspective, as the heavy robes caused the actor to overheat and nearly faint on several occasions.
53	* CreepyMonotone
54	* KryptoniteFactor: His bionics don't stand up well to [[spoiler: the PsychicPowers of Makkabeus' inner circle]]
55	* LastWords: "So weak, the flesh...so weak..."
56	* MachineWorship
57	* NotWithTheSafetyOnYouWont: An interesting variation, where an enemy mook gets a hit in on him and uses the opening to pull a gun. The gun fails to fire. A now-recovered Oktavian explains "{{Machine empathy}}..." and whacks the mook with his power axe.
58	* TakingYouWithMe
59	* {{Technopath}}[[/folder]]
60
61	[[folder:Osmar Adeodatus]]
62	[[quoteright:285:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Osmar1_23.jpg]]
63	[[caption-width-right:285:You are all under command of the PDF, as of now!]]
64	* BadassNormal: Averts the RedShirt stereotype usually associated with PDF soldiers. Then again, [[ConservationOfNinjitsu he is the only Guardsman we see]].
65	* BodyHorror: [[spoiler: After being MindRaped by a daemon. The fact that his stammered prayers start manifesting VoiceOfTheLegion is the first bad sign. He primes a grenade to commit suicide, but before it goes off there is a brief shot of him collapsing and starting to grow tentacles.]]
66	* FireForgedFriends: With Corris.
67	* ForgotICouldFly: There are several occasions where the grenades on his combat webbing would have been useful.
68	* TheFundamentalist
69	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He is a bit of a dick at first (especially towards Nira) but is only fighting for [[MyCountryRightOrWrong the safety of his home planet]], and grows to accept the mercenaries as the film goes on.
70	* LastWords: "His orders..."
71	** It is left ambiguous whether he is referring to his commander/the Emperor and [[BetterToDieThanBeKilled Better To Die Than Be Possessed]], or if G'gour is [[MindRape mind raping]] him into killing himself and his friend.
72	* RoboCam: Once or twice we get shots from the perspective of his bionic eye.[[/folder]]
73
74	[[folder:Nira Gippus]]
75	[[quoteright:278:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Nira1_2914.jpg]]
76	[[caption-width-right:278:A Warp storm is coming...]]
77	* BlessedWithSuck: True to the source material, PsychicPowers are something of a double-edged sword.
78	-->'''Nira:''' "It's not a gift, it's a curse!"
79	* CelibateHero: Perhaps because she [[GenreSavvy knows]] how often SexSignalsDeath turns up in this kind of movie. This does not stop her from having a minor case of [[UnresolvedSexualTension UST]] with Hiero.
80	* DefenceMechanismSuperpower: She rarely uses her PsychicPowers unless she is physically under attack. She has a very good reason for this, however, as using them is a good way to get [[BodySnatcher body snatched]] by the [[EldritchAbomination daemon]] that is currently on the loose.
81	* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: Her showdown with G'gour.
82	-->'''Nira:''' "If I can't stop you then His servants will, in His holy name!" Cue Lessus' ship arriving in orbit
83	* FinalGirl: Set up, then subverted.
84	* GlowingEyesOfDoom: When she uses her powers.
85	* PowerIncontinence
86	* ProtectiveCharm: The amulet Hiero gives her. This turns out to be a SpannerInTheWorks for G'gour, at least for a while.[[/folder]]
87
88	[[folder:Lechias]]
89	[[quoteright:290:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Lechias1_8506.jpg]]
90	[[caption-width-right:290:I know these nameless things only too well...]]
91	Pictured here in his polymorphin-induced disguise as trader Eisenstein.
92	* AlmostLethalWeapons: Justified in this case as he is shot through a wall with a lasgun, which may have reduced the bolt's energy. Oktavian immediately points out that it's OnlyAFleshWound.
93	* {{Familiar}}: He acquires a servo skull, which follows him around for the rest of the film. This allows Hiero to recognise him even when he's no longer wearing his polymorphine disguise.
94	* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Having to go back and top up his polymorphine causes him to be outside the warded safe areas when BodySnatcher G'gour arrives.
95	* MrExposition
96	* NonActionGuy: "My skills lie in infiltration, not in combat."
97	* PainfulTransformation: When he uses polymorphine to infiltrate Makkabeus' cult.
98	* PowerTattoo: He has the inquisitorial seal on his palm, which he uses to reprogram a servo skull in the first scene.
99	* TheMole[[/folder]]
100
101	[[folder:Zyriakus Makkabeus]]
102	[[quoteright:286:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Makkabeus1_3738.jpg]]
103	[[caption-width-right:286:Soon, we will begin.]]
104	* AccentAdaptation: A reverse example. Makkabeus speaks very formally (addressing Lechias with the polite pronoun "Sie" even though they are already well aquainted). The English subtitles rather amusingly translate this as YeOldeButcheredeEnglishe
105	* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Is he misguided in trying to capture G'gour to use against Chaos, or was the daemon's return inevitable and capturing him the only way to save the planet? This nicely mirrors the Puritan/Radical divide present across 40K.
106	* AntiVillain: See above. Possibly even HeroAntagonist
107	* DramaticUnmask: Twice, though the second time with much less composure.
108	* GoryDiscretionShot: [[spoiler: His death.]]
109	* WellIntentionedExtremist
110	* YouFool: In a failed attempt to warn the heroes that they are [[NiceJobBreakingItHero breaking it]].[[/folder]]
111
112	[[folder:Be'wesh G'gour]]
113	[[quoteright:296:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gour1_3886.jpg]]
114	[[caption-width-right:296:This is MY WORLD!]]
115	Pictured here possessing [[spoiler:Lechias, undisguised]].
116	* BodySnatcher
117	* EldritchAbomination
118	* EvilGloating: Subverted in that he ''does'' kill [[spoiler: Nira]] half way through. Not to be put off, he continues monologuing to the Eldar in the [[SoulJar spirit stone]] she was carrying.
119	* FlashStep: When he attacks Nira.
120	* HeroKiller:
121	* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler: It doesn't stop him]].
122	* JustBetweenYouAndMe: He spends the last 5 minutes of the film monologuing
123	* [[spoiler: NarratorAllAlong]]: If you thought the creepy filter was put on the intro voiceover just [[DarkerAndEdgier for effect]] then think again.
124	* NoodleIncident: He alludes to some sort of ArchEnemy dynamic with Farseer Vintog Phaer.
125	* OrganAutonomy: An inverse example - he's [[EldritchAbomination so damn evil]] that even ''corpses'' start spasming and trying to get out of his way.
126	* PunctuationShaker: His name.
127	* RealityWarper
128	* SssssnakeTalk
129	* YouCantFightFate: The subject of his BreakingSpeech to both Hiero and Nira.
