Hellhounds are equipped with missile launchers instead of railguns, and have a modified Haywire Missile battery loaded with a lighter, but higher-explosive Hellstorm battery.
Enemies of anything living, these wraiths are forces to be reckoned with but not to be confused with the armies of the Carthus catacombs.
Toxic Firebat equipped with a vespene-based acid spray capable of melting through metals and incapacitating machinery better than the Firebat napalm. This comes at the maintenance cost and lack of fume suppression from the poisonous gases.
Reaffirmers are Reaver variants that shoot void-based energy capable of exploding not once, but twice over. However, these void bombs are less effective against physical armor as they are against shields.
While these Zealots lack their ceremonial armor, the void crystals growing from their backs bestow them with superior attack power and shields.

Mecha Devourer Unit + Portrait
The Phantasm's color scheme belies the Black Cats' standard paint job. This is because a scrapped line of advanced Banshees were initially meant to be fielded by Nova and her Covert Ops crew. When they refused to use them, the Black Cats did.
Part of a hush-hush cybernetics program named Kaball, these cybernetically-enhanced Reapers possess unrestrained aggression and recklessness. They are heavily armored for infantry, and have twin mini plasma disruptors for armaments.
A sentient body of armor controlled by the Pilgrim Butterflies.
While the Dominion scrapped the HERC program initially, the surge in prosperity across the board has yielded an astronomical population growth, colonization of previously barren planets, and the willingness of retired miners to take on HERC power armors.
This peculiar Zerg techno-lifeform is equipped with a railgun, a first for the species.
An offshoot of a primal strain, the Decimator Quadruped uses weapons similar to the Stalker, except it converts metals to anti-matter, causing machinery to implode on itself.
From the SC2 Beta. Interestingly enough all it needed was a simple texture work.
Brains is the cold, calculating medic of the team. While his equipment includes cloak generation, radar, and healing, he has installed a secondary fluid tank that can inject caustic, self-replication nanobots that will deteriorate anything they infect.
The Imperial Mothership stands as a testament to the might and power of the Protoss Golden Armada.
A twisted infestation of Protoss Dark Templar, the specialized affliction converts psi into organic matter which replaces the psi blade with deadly bone blades. Their combat skills are preserved.

Stalwarts are study constructs modeled after the success of the Terran Marauders. A new addition to the Legends, they have similar capabilities in combat albeit their ability to use the Phasing Armor ability as seen in Mirages.
Dominion scientists who encountered these strange crystals on Metis were poisoned by its aura and found convulsing on the ground, frothing at the mouth while lone Zerg organisms nearby instead absorbed its corrupting aura...
A Goliath outfitted with a high-density napalm thrower. Truly a terrible sight for any infantry on the ground...imagine a Hellbat, but better. That's what this is.
Judgers are Arbiter variants with an additional layer of protection. While it slows them down, they are capable of long-range warp-jumps.
Androids are deadly assassins that double as reconnaissance. Their advanced optics are capable of marking areas, weak spots in enemies, and zooming in on scenes. Their triple-bladed dual-ended swords slice targets into three neat, separate pieces.

The Dreadnought-class Battlecruiser is equipped with the deadliest Yamato Gun on record, rumored to be souped up with a Protoss fusion coil.
Ludwig used the Moonlight Greatsword to combat beasts when he was a Hunter.
The Undead Legion will never give up their fight against the Abyss, even if it consumes them.
A wargod, wiped from history, seethes with cold rage.
Inspired by the early beta Stalker model.
This Locust is largely unchanged from its standard counterpart. However, its stronger muscles allow it to move faster.
The Hybrid Kraken is one of only 2 Leviathan variants of its kind deployed by the Amon's hybrids. It is 50% larger and lacks tentacles as weaponry and utility. Instead, it has additional Bile Swarm pods on its lateral faces.
These deformed Queens are closer to humans than their mainstream counterparts, but are no less effective at tending to corrupt hives. They also exhibit a strangely dominant, yet nurturing behavior over other corrupted Zerg.
The Tomahauk is a powerful "epic-class" unit that serves a high-firepower, reinforcement role, being able to transport large quantities of fighters.
These lightweight Medics are speedy and effective at delivering their treatments, not worn down by the bulk of extra armour.

The Deconstructor is a mutated Corruptor strain meant to float in space at the cost of its speed and durability. As a result, its parasitic spores are much hardier and outlast the mutant Corruptor in lifespan.
The Sanctifier Warmech is a powerful Warhound variation with enhanced plating meant to withstand the stress of firing a high-powered, 25 gigawatt laser instead of the normal railgun. (Note: Inspired by the Avatar as seen in Command and Conquer 3.)
Blizzard didn't make a proper Winged Nightmare model, so I tried my hand at it.
Rogue spectre in charge of DJ's Locker, a private military contractors working in secret for the Kel-Morian Combine. His whereabouts are unknown. Psionic Class: 7

AudLog 01: Simulant Brutalisk. We tried to replace its brain with a processing unit and replace its physical weapons with mechanical ones to prevent wanton violence. Subject still exhibited unusual aggressiveness even though regulated by its programming...
The Cyclone assault vehicle was modified into an automated drone with three different armaments, not unlike the destroyed A.R.E.S. warmech on Castanar. This one is equipped with an artillery piece.
Retro-fitted Banshee hovercrafts equipped with spraying miniguns instead of backlash rockets, allowing them to target all enemies.
The Black Cats are a division of elite militia equipped with advanced Umojan-UED weaponry. They are commissioned by the Dominion as specialist companies on each fringe world in order to support centralized militia forces. Rangers are the Marine equivalent.
Although they appear human, Chaingunners are only human in their heads - the rest of their body is made up of cybernetics and artificial organs. Therefore, these weapon systems are only offered to barely alive individuals who still want to serve.
Note: CybrosX is designed a new hybrid race so I thought I'd work on it a bit.
Five different ghosts
Adroits are Adepts converted with the power of void energy, implanting a pulsar emitter not unlike the Oracle's. However, it shoots projectiles instead of beams.
While not very different from the original Corsair, this ornamental design improves aerodynamics in air-based environments.
Guns is a former outlaw-turned-operative for the Umojan Protectorate. His Series 51 Modular Automatic Weapon is capable of two fire modes: a fuel-based flamethrower and high-capacity chaingun, both less than ideal for stealth but used nonetheless.
The Evolved Hydralisk has interwoven Ultralisk strains to augment aggression and durability. Side effects include recklessness and collateral damage but improved combat effectiveness overall.
As an additional support fire force, these troops are generally low-skilled shooters but excellent trackers and observers, equipped to scout areas ahead of a detachment.
Nightbats use supercooled freezing liquid spray to coat targets in a block of toxic ice. Their poisonous gases do not mix with the oxygen filters directing air to the wearer of the suit, preventing the pyromania seen in standard Firebat users.
The Titan is a heavily modified Thor designed to deliver the heaviest firepower next to the Odin while still remaining alarmingly stealthy. It is able to hide in the shadows of plain sight and is equipped with an invisibility cloak.
The acid sprayed by the glands of the Afflicter poisons its victims as well as burns through them as if they were cleaved by a psi-blade.
In honor of Zeratul, the hero of Shakuras, a supermassive Battleship was constructed. While not as large as the Spear of Adun, it is an immensely powerful warship. It contains hangars, warp fields, stasis chambers, and advanced weapon systems.
One of Warfield's specially designed suits involved a modular arm that allowed him to hold weaponry more effectively, enabling him to participate more directly in combat situations.
A shadowy organization managed to kidnap and subdue the potent Infested Admiral and hybridize him with robotics, turning him into a vicious agent of their will.
Mecha Brutalisk Unit + Portrait

The Purifier Legends possess the deadly Mage, a High Templar-inspired warrior with the heavy-hitting attacks of an Archon and the ability to create a psionic storm.
Lasarra's spirit was absorbed into the Void and converted into a hybridized Templar. The Zerg parasite that was within her prevented a gross corruption, however, her hybrid form still boasts blasphemous power.
Hybrid Mutagenalisks are deadly variants of the Mutalisk that have psi-charged glaives that do not bounce, but cause neural overload on biological targets and circuit breakdown on machinery.
The Assault Bikes are equipped with missiles to target flyers, and fragmentation impact grenades for enemies on the ground. Their hovergliders are supercharged with a Protoss fusion coil, and thus the trail follows them as they speed along.
The Shadow Hand are an elite corps of Firebats that have reinforced their standard-issue flamethrowers with Protoss fuel cells and micro-filtered vespene tanks, making their flames burn even hotter.
An amalgamation of all those who linked the First Flame.

An Ultralisk with "anti-aggression" implants was kept inside a pen made by the Sector's best security experts...but it escaped and wreaked havoc on the ZergWorld amusement park. Ya know...I think I saw this in a really old movie once.
Portrait for the Toxabat, with appropriate particle textures and emissives.
Battleships have several Photon Cannons mounted to their hulls. A massive phase crystal at their center allows them to launch a gravity-disrupting projectile which creates a small localized black hole, shredding any and all non-shielded units.
The Devouralisk combines the best of the Devourer and Mutalisk in a more efficient strain that is midway between both.
An absent Lord of Cinder, driven from his duty by the loss of his kingdom and those he sought to protect.
Kotori > Kojou > Katsura

Big boi still got the moves
Not to be confused with the Centurions of the Nerazim Shadowguard, the Legends' Centurion shells sport a heavy Glaive Cannon supercharged with mind fluid that allows them to disrupt the neural cortex of living organisms.
The Legends' Lancers are ranged warriors capable of engaging air and ground enemies using their Deconstruction Beam cannon. These heavy weapons gradually wear down enemy plating and flesh on the molecular level.
The Lost Tribe's incessant dabbling in Protoss technology has allowed them to replicate a crude version of the Adept using successful members of their Gestalt Minus Project, an offshoot started by scientists of the Old Dominion's Gestalt Project.
This Hurricane sentry is equipped with Jackhammer Missiles, familiar to those who have experience the Thor's weaponry firsthand.
