The Champions of Slaanesh Army Set is up for pre-order this Saturday, bringing with it the first-ever dedicated Codex: Emperor’s Children.
This long-awaited tome is bursting with decadent lore, intricate artwork, and lavish photography, offering a deep dive into the twisted grandeur of Fulgrim’s favored warriors. If you’ve ever wanted to know how the Emperor’s Children wage war while chasing the most exquisite sensations the galaxy has to offer, this book delivers in all its debauched glory.
The Codex explores every aspect of the Legion’s warped existence, from their hedonistic warbands and fortresses of excess to their daemonic pacts that tear open the veil between reality and the Warp. Some warriors, like the Flawless Blades, transform themselves into living daemonic works of art, modifying their bodies to resemble Slaanesh’s chosen while dosing themselves with stimulants that send them into frenzied assaults. Others, like the Emperor’s Children Terminators, prize the sheer brutality and resilience of Tactical Dreadnought Armour, often prying suits from their victims’ still-warm corpses in battle, all while battling under the influence of paranoid ecstasy, pushing themselves beyond mortal limits.
Fans of Sonic Weaponry are in for a treat—this Codex lays bare the horrifying science behind Screamer Pistols, Sonic Blasters, and Blastmasters. Ever wondered what’s inside those canisters on their weapons? Compressed death screams and other mind-warping substances, each more disturbing than the last.
The book also spills the secrets of the psychoactive stimulants favored by Noise Marines, like Siren’s Veil, which literally swells their auditory canals with iridescent pus, heightening their sensitivity to every devastating sonic shockwave.
For those who take their hedonism with a side of body horror, there’s Langour’s Riposte, a semi-sentient elixir that warps the drinker’s flesh in real-time, as if their body is trapped in a constant battle between self-repair and destruction. Other exotic elixirs like Skorflense, Skalathraxine Dust, Salviqine Tears, and Sanctus VI get their time in the spotlight, showing just how deep the pharmaceutical depravity of the Emperor’s Children truly goes.
This Codex doesn’t just deliver on the rules—it’s an immersive experience, painting a picture of a Legion driven by perfection, paranoia, and pure indulgence. Expect in-depth unit descriptions, personal vignettes, and deep dives into iconic characters like Fulgrim and Lucius the Eternal, all wrapped in an aesthetic as opulent and unsettling as the Emperor’s Children themselves. Whether you’re grabbing the Army Set for an early taste or waiting for the Limited Edition, one thing is certain—this Codex is as excessive as the warriors it glorifies.
