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

by Oliver May 25,2025

If you're a fan of the Hellraiser film series and appreciate a touch of ironic naming, you'll be thrilled to hear that Warhammer 40,000: Warpforge has introduced the Emperor's Children as its latest faction. This addition brings three new Warlords and an array of innovative mechanics, delivering a fresh and intense gaming experience with a heavy Slaanesh influence.

Originally a loyalist Space Marine legion, the Emperor's Children 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 thrills and sensations.

With the Emperor's Children, you have the option of three distinct Warlords. Lord Kaphrael, who specializes in eliminating enemy champions and commands the Callous Blades, embodies the faction's ruthless nature. Xarahan, on the other hand, personifies the arrogance and egotism that define the Emperor's Children. And for those who relish in flamboyant combat, Lucius the Eternal offers unparalleled swordsmanship honed over countless years.

ytI see you tremble with antici-pationThe Emperor's Children introduce chilling new mechanics that set their units apart. Units with the Ecstasy trait gain an effect when their health drops to a certain level. Those marked with Cruelty benefit from damaging (but not destroying) enemy units. The Stimulation trait activates an ability when the unit is targeted by stratagems. Additionally, Combat Elixirs cause some cards to generate extra stratagems, enabling you to trigger their unique abilities!

Keep an eye out, as the Emperor's Children are now available in new booster packs and DLC, allowing you to unleash their terrifying new abilities and units on your opponents.
