Emperor’s Children

The Emperor’s Children are the chosen Traitor Legion of Slaanesh, the Chaos God of excess and dark temptations. These Space Marine heretics seek out the most extreme sensations in battle, indulging their need in carnivals of sonic devastation, gory violence and surgical prowess.

Army Rules

Thrill Seekers

If your Army Faction is EMPEROR’S CHILDREN, this unit is eligible to shoot and declare a charge in a turn in which it Advanced or Fell Back, but when doing so:

  • It cannot target a unit it was within Engagement Range of at the start of the turn.
  • It cannot target a unit that was the target of another unit’s charge or attack this phase.

Lore

The Emperor’s Children are skilled warriors all, their transhuman might enhanced by a lifetime of ceaseless conflict. Their ingrained desire for sensation in all its forms sees them move rapidly across the battlefield, flitting between targets as they attempt to satiate their never‑ending hunger for fresh experience.

Pact of Excess

When mustering your army, unless specifically stated otherwise, you cannot select LEGIONS OF EXCESS as your Army Faction.

Lore

By enacting the most lurid and excessive acts of ritual violence, the Emperor’s Children may shatter reality itself and summon forth the daemons of Slaanesh.
