The 12 character-unlock paint pots.
The source reports that collected pots persist and are shared across the two universes. Six character unlocks use these pots; boss conditions still require the named champion.

- Agrax Earthshade
- Defeat 10,000 enemies with Nuln Oil.

- Macragge Blue

Good first unlocks.
The published roster starts with Malum Caedo (Chainsword) and Neave Blacktalon (Tempest Axes). Both are available without an unlock objective.
For a low-cost next option, the community guide lists Brother Luca Amasius for 200 Coins and Amalia Novena for 400 Coins at character selection. Imperial Bastion combines two rescues with the Abaddon Black pickup; The Great Parch combines two rescues with Leadbelcher. Those routes can advance several targets during one visit.
Check the requirement before choosing your character. Max Mahon requires 1,000 Nurglings in a single run; Hendrick requires 10,000 Gloomspite Gitz in a single run as Neave. Tor Garadon’s 10,000 enemies are explicitly across all runs. Where the source does not specify the counting scope, check the in-game objective instead of assuming it is cumulative.
Follow the secret character dependencies.
Daedalosus: find him east of spawn on Desert Wasteland and purchase the Teleportarium for 10,000 Coins. Activate the Desert Wasteland relay, then the five remaining relays: north of spawn on Imperial Bastion; northeast on Gallowdark; the northeastern spawn square on Ork Stronghold; through the teleporter to the western quadrant on Imperial Shipyard; west of spawn on Death World Invasion.
Balphamus Vaulk: unlock Daedalosus, complete Hobby Table as him to unlock the Ferrosanctic Orrery relic, then find Vaulk and purchase him. The source places him on the northwestern spawn square on Ork Stronghold.
Bastian → Celestant-Prime: rescue Rostus for his starting Stormcharged Warhammer, evolve that weapon to unlock Bastian, then evolve Bastian’s starting Uskavar the Sunderer for Celestant-Prime.
Major Docheval: collect Amberbone east on Gnarlwood. Play Juntar Bernskyn and max Fusil-Cannon and Tactical Rock to morph. The source also reports the Secrets incantation greywaterfastness as an alternative.
Brokk: buy the Barak-Nar Contract north of spawn on Gnarlwood, then buy it on every Age of Sigmar stage. Drekki: first collect Arcanoscope west on Gnarlwood, finish Brokk’s circuit and collect Atmospheric Anatomiser east on Bloodwind Spoil. Then buy Drekki’s Barak-Mhornar Contract in northern Bloodwind Spoil and across all Age of Sigmar stages. Track the two merchants separately.
When an objective does not complete.
Match all four conditions: character, enemy, stage and mode. A general damage build does not automatically apply Burning or Slowed. A lifetime kill counter does not meet a single-run objective.
The community source says most stage objectives appear after surviving one minute on their stage. Check character selection and Secrets after visiting a new stage. Rescues may include a fight: arriving at Saint Celestine’s location is not the same as completing her rescue.
The checklist is a manual planning aid. It does not read your game save, verify unlocks or synchronize across devices. The 43 entries and detailed requirements come from a dated community guide; official sources confirm the game and its character systems. Check your current in-game wording after patches.
