If your favorite film franchise is *Hellraiser* and you appreciate a touch of dark irony in naming, you're in for a treat—*Warhammer 40,000: Warpforge* has just introduced its latest playable faction: the Emperor's Children. This indulgent, Slaanesh-worshipping force brings three new warlords, innovative mechanics, and an array of fresh units that redefine battlefield decadence.
Once a loyalist Space Marine legion, the Emperor's Children turned traitor during the Horus Heresy and now serve only the pleasures of the chaos god Slaanesh. Driven by arrogance, egotism, and an insatiable hunger for sensation, they’ve fragmented into hedonistic warbands that terrorize the galaxy in search of ever more twisted thrills.
Three Warlords, One Deadly Purpose
Choose from three uniquely styled warlords to lead your forces:
- Lord Kaphrael – Leads the Callous Blades and specializes in eliminating enemy champions with surgical precision.
- Xarahan – The embodiment of pride and self-worship, commanding his troops with a sense of divine superiority.
- Lucius the Eternal – A fan-favorite immortal warrior whose swordplay has been honed across millennia, making him a deadly duelist on the battlefield.
New Mechanics That Twist the Battlefield
The Emperor's Children introduce a suite of disturbing mechanics that reflect their chaotic nature:
- Ecstasy – Units gain powerful effects when their health drops below a certain threshold.
- Cruelty – Gain bonuses when dealing damage without destroying an enemy unit, prolonging the agony.
- Stimulation – Triggers abilities when targeted by enemy stratagems, rewarding tactical play.
- Combat Elixirs – Certain cards generate additional stratagems, allowing for explosive combos and dynamic battlefield control.
I see you tremble with antici-pation...
Available Now in Boosters & DLC
