Emperor's Children Debut in Warhammer 40,000: Warpforge

If your favorite film series is Hellraiser and you enjoy a bit of ironic naming, then you're in for a treat with the latest addition to Warhammer 40,000: Warpforge—the Emperor's Children faction. This Slaanesh-heavy group introduces three new Warlords and a host of innovative mechanics, promising an entirely new gameplay experience.

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

Choose from three distinct Warlords: Lord Kaphrael, who specializes in eliminating enemy champions and leads the Callous Blades; Xarahan, who embodies the faction's inherent arrogance and egotism; and the legendary Lucius the Eternal, whose swordsmanship has been honed over millennia.

I see you tremble with antici-pationThe Emperor's Children introduce mechanics that are as unsettling as they are strategic. Units with the Ecstasy trait gain an effect when their health drops to a specific threshold, while those marked with Cruelty benefit from damaging, but not destroying, enemy units. The Stimulation trait activates an ability when the unit is targeted by stratagems. Additionally, Combat Elixirs cause certain cards to generate extra stratagems, enhancing their abilities.

Starting now, you can dive into the chaos with the Emperor's Children through new booster packs and DLC, allowing you to torment your opponents with their unique units and abilities.
