If your favorite film series is Hellraiser and you enjoy a bit of ironic naming, then you're in for a treat with Warhammer 40,000: Warpforge's newest faction: the Emperor's Children! This Slaanesh-heavy faction brings a host of new mechanics and three distinct warlords, offering a fresh and thrilling gameplay experience.
The Emperor's Children, once a loyalist Space Marine legion, broke away from 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.
You'll have the choice of three new warlords to lead your forces. Lord Kaphrael, leader of the Callous Blades, specializes in eliminating enemy champions. Xarahan embodies the arrogance and egotism that define the Emperor's Children. And then there's the infamous Lucius the Eternal, whose spectacular swordsmanship has been honed over millennia.
**I see you tremble with antici-pation** The Emperor's Children introduce unique and unsettling mechanics. Units with the Ecstasy trait gain an effect when their health drops to a certain threshold. Cards marked with Cruelty benefit if you damage, but don't destroy, an enemy unit. The Stimulation mechanic activates an ability when the unit is targeted by stratagems. Additionally, Combat Elixirs allow some cards to generate extra stratagems, enhancing their abilities!
The Emperor's Children are now available in new booster packs and DLC, enabling you to torment your foes with their innovative abilities and units.
