- Warhammer 40,000: Warpforge introduces the Emperor's Children as its latest playable faction
- Driven by excess, sensation, and unmatched arrogance, this chaotic force brings dark new mechanics to the battlefield
- Three unique warlords, fresh gameplay systems, and powerful units redefine strategy in the grim darkness of the far future
Fans of indulgence, pain, and over-the-top theatrics, rejoice—Warhammer 40,000: Warpforge has unveiled the Emperor's Children, a Slaanesh-worshipping faction that thrives on cruelty, sensation, and self-worship. If you've ever wanted to dominate the battlefield with a blend of elegance, madness, and calculated torment, this is your moment.
Once a proud Loyalist Space Marine Legion, the Emperor's Children fell during the Horus Heresy and now serve only the Dark Prince of Pleasure, Slaanesh. Shattered into warbands obsessed with sensation and perfection, they scour the galaxy for ever-more extreme experiences—bringing agony and ecstasy in equal measure.
To lead this decadent force, three new Warlords are now available:
- Lord Kaphrael commands the Callous Blades, excelling at eliminating enemy champions with surgical precision.
- Xarahan embodies the unchecked pride and vanity of the legion, turning arrogance into battlefield dominance.
- And of course, the infamous Lucius the Eternal, the immortal duelist whose cursed blade ensures his return again and again, brings his deadly flair to your deck.
I see you tremble with antici-pation
The Emperor's Children aren't just about flashy leaders—they bring entirely new mechanics that reflect their twisted philosophy.
- Ecstasy: Triggers when a unit’s health drops to a critical threshold, unleashing powerful effects in their moment of "rapture."
- Cruelty: Activates when you wound an enemy without destroying them—because true artistry lies in prolonging the suffering.
- Stimulation: Rewards units when they’re targeted by stratagems, turning enemy tactics against them.
- Combat Elixirs: Certain units generate additional stratagems, fueling a devastating feedback loop of power and precision.
These mechanics create a playstyle that’s as strategic as it is sadistic—perfect for players who enjoy psychological warfare and high-risk, high-reward tactics.
The Emperor's Children are now available through new booster packs and DLC, so you can start corrupting your decks and tormenting your opponents today.
