New Factions Unveiled: Adeptus Custodes and Emperor's Children in Warhammer 40000: Tacticus and Warpforge

Author : Harper May 27,2025

The Warhammer Skulls 2025 event has unleashed a plethora of exciting content across the Warhammer universe, including new games, DLCs, and major updates. For mobile gamers, Warhammer 40,000 is set to introduce the Adeptus Custodes in Tacticus and the Emperor’s Children in Warpforge, enhancing the gaming experience with these iconic factions.

Command the Adeptus Custodes

Warhammer 40,000: Tacticus is expanding its roster with the addition of the Adeptus Custodes, the elite bodyguards of the Emperor himself. Known for their superior strength, resilience, and armament compared to the Space Marines, the Adeptus Custodes are a formidable force.

Prepare for their arrival in a thrilling Legendary Survival Event starting on May 24th, led by the indomitable Trajann Valoris. His prowess in both enduring attacks and delivering devastating blows will be showcased. You can get a glimpse of their gameplay in the newly released trailer. To join the action, download the game from the Google Play Store and participate in the Survival Event starting tomorrow.

Kill at the Command of the Emperor’s Children!

In a stark contrast, Warhammer 40,000: Warpforge introduces the Emperor’s Children, a faction that once served the Imperium but defected during the Horus Heresy to follow Slaanesh. Now, they revel in excess, pain, and the thrill of pushing boundaries.

This new faction comes equipped with three unique warlords: Lord Kaphrael, who specializes in eliminating enemy champions and leads the Callous Blades; Xarahan, driven by arrogance; and Lucius the Eternal, whose centuries of dueling expertise are legendary. The mechanics of the Emperor’s Children are as twisted as their lore, featuring cards with Ecstasy, which activate effects at specific health thresholds, Cruelty, which rewards non-lethal damage, and Stimulation, triggered by stratagem targeting. Combat Elixirs generate additional stratagems to fuel these mechanics.

Experience their gameplay in the trailer below. The Emperor’s Children are now available in new booster packs and DLC, and completing the first step of their campaign will grant you a full deck. Download the game from the Google Play Store to get started.

In addition to these faction updates, Warhammer 40,000 enthusiasts can look forward to a new game, Supremacy: Warhammer 40,000. Stay tuned for more details on this exciting addition to the Warhammer universe.
