If your favorite film series is Hellraiser and you enjoy a bit of ironic naming, then you'll be thrilled to know that Warhammer 40,000: Warpforge's newest faction is none other than the Emperor's Children! With three new Warlords and a suite of innovative mechanics, you can now bring the suffering with this Slaanesh-heavy faction.
Originally a loyalist Space Marine legion, the Emperor's Children turned their backs on the Imperium during the Horus Heresy. Now, devoted solely to the chaos god Slaanesh and their own desires, they've fragmented into warbands that scour the galaxy in search of new sensations and stimulations.
Choose from three distinct warlords to lead your forces. Lord Kaphrael, who specializes in eliminating enemy champions and commands the Callous Blades, embodies the faction's ruthless nature. Xarahan, on the other hand, encapsulates the Emperor's Children's characteristic arrogance and egotism. And then there's Lucius the Eternal, the immortal swordsman whose skill has been honed over millennia, making him a formidable leader on the battlefield.
I see you tremble with antici-pationThe Emperor's Children introduce some truly unsettling mechanics to the game. Units marked with Ecstasy gain a special effect when their health drops to a certain level. Cards with Cruelty benefit when you damage, but don't destroy, an enemy unit. Stimulation triggers unique abilities when the unit is targeted by stratagems. And with Combat Elixirs, certain cards can generate additional stratagems to enhance their capabilities!
Keep an eye out, as the Emperor's Children will soon be available in new booster packs and DLC, allowing you to unleash their tormenting abilities and units on your foes.
