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 the Emperor's Children! This Slaanesh-heavy faction brings a fresh experience with three new Warlords and a host of innovative mechanics that will let you inflict suffering on your opponents.
Originally a loyalist Space Marine legion, the Emperor's Children broke away from the Imperium during the Horus Heresy. Now, they pledge allegiance only to the chaos god Slaanesh and their own desires, splintering into warbands that scour the galaxy for new sensations and stimulations.
You'll have three distinct Warlords to choose from. Lord Kaphrael, who specializes in eliminating enemy champions and leads the Callous Blades, embodies the faction's ruthless nature. Xarahan, on the other hand, perfectly captures the Emperor's Children's arrogance and egotism. And then there's the ever-popular Lucius the Eternal, whose millennia-honed swordsmanship is nothing short of spectacular.
I see you tremble with antici-pationThe Emperor's Children introduce some chilling new mechanics. Cards with the Ecstasy keyword receive a special effect when their health drops to a certain threshold. Cards marked with Cruelty gain an effect if you damage an enemy unit without destroying it. The Stimulation keyword triggers an ability when the unit is targeted by stratagems. Additionally, Combat Elixirs cause certain cards to generate extra stratagems, enabling you to trigger their abilities more frequently!
Keep an eye out, as the Emperor's Children will be available in new booster packs and DLC starting now, allowing you to unleash their new abilities and units to torment your foes.
