If you want to be really technical, there are only two "factions" in 30K: Traitor and Loyalist. Army lists is the better term used within 30K, as FW still uses the older method of using army lists to build a detachment, rather than picking and choosing from a buffet of dataslates that all have the same symbol in the corner.

"Through the darkness of future past, the magician longs to see.
One chants out between two worlds: Fire, walk with me."

"You listen to me. While I will admit to a certain cynicism, the fact is that I am a naysayer and hatchetman in the fight against violence. I pride myself in taking a punch and I'll gladly take another because I choose to live my life in the company of Gandhi and King. My concerns are global. I reject absolutely revenge, aggression, and retaliation. The foundation of such a method... is love. I love you Sheriff Truman." - Twin Peaks

The only factions you need to know in 30K are Loyalist, or Traitor. Which one are you?
