Structurally it's segmented into three main units.

** The Abyss Watchers. The legion's primary and most elite unit, in charge of containing outbreaks of the Abyss, up to and including just burning everything to the ground. Unmatched warriors, they train to fight like wolves, and ingest special blood to make them even more acrobatic killers. They eventually sacrificed themselves collectively to link the First Flame and became Lords of Cinder.
** The Farron Followers. The legion's secondary unit, serving as InternalAffairs of the Legion and tasked with killing any legionnaire who became corrupted by the Abyss, fighting with their own special techniques and tactics. By the events of the game, they have lost their purpose, gone hollow, and wandered off into the Painted World.
** The Watchdogs of Farron. The auxiliary unit and a player covenant, acting as a HomeGuard to defend Farron Woods from would-be invaders. By the events of the game, they now serve as grave wardens watching over the graves of the Legion.

** Though not a faction in the tabletop game, the armies of the [[ImperialChina Grand Empire of Cathay]] are alluded to in lore and finally PromotedToPlayable in ''VideoGame/TotalWarWarhammerIII''... and boy, are they ever an example. The Cathayian Army is a state-controlled ''behemoth'' composed of the professional Jade Warrior corps -- equal to the Imperial State Army to the west in technology and discipline, while also having the Celestial Dragon Legion, elite warriors who are sworn to serve the Cathayian Royal Family alone. All of these soldiers enjoy mighty magical and mundane support, from crossbowmen armed with clockwork repeating crossbows, [[FatalFireworks great firework cannons]], war balloons and sky junks bristling with artillery, state-trained {{Kung Fu Wizard}}s, giant terracotta constructs, and great stone dragons that swim through the earth. To say nothing of the Children of the Dragon Emperor who command these armies in battle, and no, the "Dragon" part is no mere euphemism or title -- they are actual dragons.

What they are is a full army of Captain Americas, Thors, and Carol Danvers that are joined by the current Avengers and the Prehistoric Avengers as well as various heroes from alternate timelines such as Star Panther, Thor's granddaughters and Old Man Phoenix. Their numbers are further bolstered by a man-made Celestial, Galactus and a Sorcerer Supreme Loki who accidentally killed everyone in his universe. Facing them are the Multiversal Masters of Evil and an army of Mephistos and Dr. Dooms, but as strong as these evil-doers are they can't handle the sheer number and raw power of the Universal Avengers.

* [[TheEmpire The Persians]] from ''ComicBook/{{Democracy}}''. As [[TheHero Leander]] states, they have never been beaten by a Greek army before. Well, until, as everyone knows, they faced the Athenians at the battle of Marathon...
* The World Army of ''ComicBook/Earth2'' fought off the [[Characters/NewGodsDarkseid parademon]] invasion with the help of Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman at the start of the series. After the parademon invasion, they start creating their own [[MilitarySuperhero Wonders]] to combat future threats.
* In the ''ComicBook/GhostRider: Heaven's On Fire'' miniseries, when Johnny Blaze needs to take down a rebel angel who's usurped Heaven, he gets the help of every Ghost Rider who ever existed.

And the [[Characters/GLGreenLanternCorps Green Lantern Corps]] is the longest standing one of them all as far as the real-world acknowledgement goes (we didn't start hearing stories about [[Characters/GLSinestroCorps Sinestro Corps]], etc, until much later). For that matter, against foes other than Green Lanterns, the Thunderers of Qward would count. The Green Lantern Corps divides the galaxy into 3600 sectors. There are about 400 billion stars in the galaxy, so assuming things are divided evenly, each GL is responsible for patrolling an area containing about 11 ''million'' stars... and in Franchise/TheDCU, most star systems are host to intelligent life. It takes a '''really big''' threat for the Corps to consider sending more than one or two Lanterns to handle it, and something literally universe-shattering to mobilize the entire Corps.
* The underused Human Defense Corps once invaded Hell. They won.
* The Judges of ''Comicbook/JudgeDredd'' have had to become this on occasion. Two notable occasions are after the Great Atomic War of 2070 when the Judges brought down [[PresidentEvil Robert L. Booth]] and during the Apocalypse War against the Sov Block.
