Emperor's Children
Slaanesh's chosen — flawless, vainglorious and faster than perfection.
About Emperor's Children — Lore & How They Play
The Lore
The III Legion sought perfection in all things and found it in excess: the Emperor's Children were the first Legion to fall wholly to Slaanesh, and their daemon-primarch Fulgrim remains the most beautiful monster in the galaxy.
Ten thousand years of sensation-chasing have honed them into something exquisite and appalling — warrior-aesthetes for whom war is performance art and every atrocity an encore.
On the Tabletop
A fast, elite alpha-strike army: mounted daemonettes, Noise Marines and blisteringly quick characters that hit first, hit hard and dictate the tempo of the fight. Fulgrim himself is one of the deadliest duellists in the game.
They're glass beneath the glamour — lose the initiative and the army fades fast. Strike where you choose, never where you're expected, and finish what you start. Perfection accepts nothing less.
The Emperor's Children are Fulgrim's Legion of perfectionists turned hedonists: once the Emperor's finest, now devoted to Slaanesh and chasing every sensation the galaxy offers. Expect fast, duelling melee, sonic weapons and some of the most flamboyant miniatures in the 41st Millennium.
