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

Author : Camila May 26,2025

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 here with the Emperor's Children! With three new Warlords and a host of new mechanics, you'll bring the suffering with this Slaanesh-heavy faction.

The Emperor's Children were once a loyalist Space Marine legion, but they split from the Imperium during the Horus Heresy. Now, loyal only to the chaos god Slaanesh and themselves, they've splintered further into individual warbands that ravage the galaxy in pursuit of new stimulation and sensations.

To reflect this, you've got three new warlords to choose from. Lord Kaphrael focuses on taking out enemy champions and leads the Callous Blades. Xarahan embodies the arrogance and egotism of the Emperor's Children. Finally, there's none other than everyone's favorite immortal slimeball, Lucius the Eternal, boasting spectacular swordsmanship cultivated over millennia.

I see you tremble with antici-pation—The Emperor's Children come complete with some truly disturbing mechanics that mark their units. Cards with Ecstasy receive an effect when their health is lowered to a certain threshold, while those with Cruelty will gain an effect if you damage (but don't destroy) an enemy unit. Stimulation, meanwhile, triggers an ability when the unit is targeted by stratagems. Finally, Combat Elixirs will cause some cards to generate extra stratagems that can be used to trigger their abilities!

Keep your eyes out, because the Emperor's Children will be available in new booster packs and DLC starting now, letting you truly torment your foes with their new abilities and units.
