Emperor’s Children, Champions of Slaanesh Army Box Pre-Order: $230 CA$275 £140 €180
The Emperor’s Children make a grand entrance with style—a boxed set featuring 33 spanking new miniatures that scream indulgence, a freshly printed Codex, a set of datasheet cards, and a transfer sheet to polish off the collection. At its forefront stands the flamboyant Lord Exultant, decked out in gleaming weaponry and armor that catches every stray beam of light.
This over-the-top champion offers a choice between a phoenix power spear and a rapture lash, along with four power packs and two head variations for extra flair.
He is backed by two squads of six Noise Marines each, with an option to include a Disharmonist in every unit. The standard Noise Marines come with a selection of heads, shoulders, and muzzles so that their sonic blasters can be truly one-of-a-kind. Tormentors handle their ranged weapons with impressive accuracy, and Infractors are all about getting up close and personal.
There’s also a lavish 112-page Codex: Emperor’s Children, bursting with lore, art, miniature photography, and all the rules needed to command the Champions of Slaanesh on the tabletop. Its cover and page edges shine with pink foil, complemented by a sleek black ribbon marker and classic artwork that fans have come to love. Rounding out the set are 22 datasheet cards covering every unit featured in the Codex (excluding Combat Patrol datasheets and the Army Rule), along with a transfer sheet boasting 150 designs for personalizing one’s forces.
