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

by Dylan May 23,2025

If your favorite film series is Hellraiser and you enjoy a bit of ironic naming, you'll be thrilled to know that Warhammer 40,000: Warpforge's newest faction is the Emperor's Children! This Slaanesh-heavy faction introduces three new Warlords and a host of unique mechanics, allowing you to bring a new level of suffering to your gameplay.

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 stimulation.

You'll have the choice of three new warlords, each embodying the essence of the Emperor's Children. Lord Kaphrael, leader of the Callous Blades, specializes in eliminating enemy champions. Xarahan personifies the faction's arrogance and egotism. And, of course, the immortal Lucius the Eternal, whose millennia-honed swordsmanship is unrivaled.

Emperor's Children Warhammer 40,000: Warpforge**I see you tremble with antici-pation** The Emperor's Children introduce mechanics that are as disturbing as they are strategic. Units marked with Ecstasy trigger effects when their health reaches a certain low threshold. Those with Cruelty gain benefits when they damage, but do not destroy, an enemy unit. Stimulation activates an ability when the unit is targeted by stratagems. And Combat Elixirs cause some cards to generate additional stratagems, enhancing their abilities!

Keep an eye out for the Emperor's Children, as they will be available in new booster packs and DLC starting now. Unleash their new abilities and units to truly torment your foes.
