"Warpforge Unveils Emperor's Children in Warhammer 40,000"

If your favorite film series is Hellraiser and you enjoy a bit of ironic naming, then you'll be thrilled to know that Warhammer 40,000: Warpforge's newest faction, the Emperor's Children, has arrived! With three new Warlords and a suite of innovative mechanics, you can now bring suffering to your opponents with this Slaanesh-focused faction.

Originally a loyalist Space Marine legion, the Emperor's Children turned away from the Imperium during the Horus Heresy. Now, they pledge allegiance only to the chaos god Slaanesh and their own desires, splintering into warbands that scour the galaxy in search of new sensations and stimulations.

You have three distinct Warlords to choose from. Lord Kaphrael, leader of the Callous Blades, specializes in eliminating enemy champions. Xarahan, on the other hand, embodies the arrogance and egotism central to the Emperor's Children's ethos. And for those who appreciate immortal villainy, Lucius the Eternal offers spectacular swordsmanship honed over millennia.

I see you tremble with antici-pationThe Emperor's Children introduce some chilling new mechanics. Units marked with Ecstasy gain effects when their health drops to a specific threshold. Those with Cruelty receive benefits if they damage, but do not destroy, an enemy unit. Stimulation activates an ability when the unit is targeted by stratagems. Additionally, Combat Elixirs cause some cards to generate extra stratagems, enhancing their abilities further.

Keep an eye out for the Emperor's Children in new booster packs and DLC, available now. Unleash their new abilities and units to torment your foes on the battlefield.
