A '''Race''' or '''category''' is a group of similar factions which generally use the same units and game mechanics.

Each race featured in the game, such as the stubborn [[Dwarfs]], sadistic [[Dark Elves]], stalwart [[Kislev]] or enraged forces of [[Khorne]], carries certain racial traits and mechanics which grant factions of that race unique abilities, advantages and disadvantages; which set it apart from all the other races. Factions of a particular race usually receive a bonus to [[diplomacy|diplomatic]] relations between each other, and therefore tend to stick together.

A faction's race/category will be listed below its name when conducting diplomacy.
