Start Competing: Emperor’s Children Tactics
When Horus turned against the emperor and called for open rebellion, fully half of the Space Marine legions joined him, turning against the Emperor. Among those were the III Legion, the Emperor’s Children, led by their Primarch, Fulgrim. Once obsessed with perfection and martial excellence, the Emperor’s Children would fall to the worship of Slaanesh. Following the Heresy they splintered into thousands of smaller warbands and scour the galaxy, seeking new experiences and sensations as they sow havoc and fear.
Faction Overview
The Emperor’s Children are a small, elite force of bladesmen, offering fast units capable of tremendous damage and accuracy in melee. They’re similar to World Eaters in that they’re primarily a melee force, though they excel in speed and precision over raw brute force. Depending on which Detachment you take, Emperor’s Children armies can focus on transports, characters, or even taking Daemons of Slaanesh to fight alongside your mortal warriors.
