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

Author:Kristen Update:May 24,2025

If your favorite film series is Hellraiser and you enjoy a bit of ironic naming, then you're in for a treat with Warhammer 40,000: Warpforge's latest addition: the Emperor's Children. This Slaanesh-heavy faction brings a new level of suffering and excitement to the game with three new Warlords and a suite of unique mechanics.

The Emperor's Children, once a loyalist Space Marine legion, turned away from 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 for new thrills and sensations.

You'll have the choice of three distinct Warlords. Lord Kaphrael leads the Callous Blades and specializes in eliminating enemy champions. Xarahan personifies the arrogance and egotism that define the Emperor's Children. And then there's Lucius the Eternal, the immortal swordsman whose skills have been honed over millennia.

ytI see you tremble with antici-pationThe Emperor's Children introduce some truly unsettling mechanics. Cards marked with Ecstasy gain effects when their health drops to a certain level. Those with Cruelty benefit from damaging, but not destroying, enemy units. Stimulation activates an ability when a unit is targeted by stratagems. Additionally, Combat Elixirs cause some cards to generate extra stratagems, enhancing their abilities.

Keep an eye out for the Emperor's Children, as they'll be available in new booster packs and DLC starting now, allowing you to unleash their tormenting capabilities on your foes with their new units and abilities.
