The new Champions of Slaanesh boxed set for Emperor’s Children release today, giving us the first new models for the new faction plus the Codex. And while these rules aren’t technically legal yet for matched play and half the faction’s models haven’t released yet, there’s still plenty of hobbying and testing to be done with the new army. To commemorate that, we’ve created the Start Competing page for Emperor’s Children, which you can find here:
But in case you missed any of our coverage of the faction, you can find everything you’ll need to know in the links below. From rules to hobby to lore, we’ve got you covered.
