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 has introduced the Emperor's Children as its latest faction! This Slaanesh-heavy faction comes with three new Warlords and a suite of innovative mechanics, allowing you to bring unparalleled suffering to the battlefield.
The Emperor's Children were once a loyalist Space Marine legion that broke away from the Imperium during the Horus Heresy. Now, they pledge allegiance solely to the chaos god Slaanesh and their own desires, fragmenting into warbands that scour the galaxy in search of new sensations and stimulations.
Reflecting their ethos, the faction offers three distinct Warlords to choose from. Lord Kaphrael specializes in eliminating enemy champions and commands the Callous Blades. Xarahan, on the other hand, epitomizes the arrogance and egotism of the Emperor's Children. Lastly, Lucius the Eternal, the immortal swordsman, brings millennia of combat experience to the fray.
I see you tremble with antici-pationThe Emperor's Children introduce chilling new mechanics. Units with the Ecstasy keyword gain effects when their health drops to a specific threshold. Those marked with Cruelty benefit when they damage, but don't destroy, an enemy unit. The Stimulation keyword activates abilities when a unit is targeted by stratagems. Additionally, Combat Elixirs cause certain cards to generate extra stratagems, enhancing their abilities further!
Starting now, the Emperor's Children will be available in new booster packs and DLC, allowing you to torment your opponents with their unique abilities and units.
