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

Author : Jonathan Update : May 25,2025

The Warhammer Skulls 2025 event has brought a wave of exciting updates and new content across the Warhammer universe, particularly for mobile gamers. Warhammer 40,000 fans can look forward to the introduction of the Adeptus Custodes and the Emperor’s Children in Tacticus and Warpforge, respectively.

Command the Adeptus Custodes

Warhammer 40,000: Tacticus is set to expand with the addition of the Adeptus Custodes, the elite guardians of the Emperor. These warriors surpass even the Space Marines in strength, resilience, and armament. Starting on May 24th, players can experience the might of the Adeptus Custodes in a new Legendary Survival Event, led by the formidable Trajann Valoris, known for his ability to withstand and deliver devastating attacks.

You can get a glimpse of their prowess in the latest trailer. To join the action, download the game from the Google Play Store and dive into the Survival Event starting tomorrow.

Kill at the Command of the Emperor’s Children!

Warhammer 40,000: Warpforge takes a darker turn with the introduction of the Emperor’s Children. Once loyal to the Imperium, they turned renegade during the Horus Heresy, now serving the Chaos god Slaanesh. This faction revels in excess, pain, and pushing boundaries.

The Emperor’s Children faction introduces three unique warlords: Lord Kaphrael, who specializes in eliminating enemy champions and leads the Callous Blades; Xarahan, whose arrogance is his hallmark; and Lucius the Eternal, bringing centuries of dueling expertise to the battlefield.

Their gameplay mechanics are as twisted as their allegiance. Cards with the Ecstasy keyword activate special effects when health reaches a certain threshold. Cruelty rewards you for damaging enemies without finishing them off, while Stimulation triggers when a unit is targeted by a stratagem. Additionally, Combat Elixirs generate extra stratagems to fuel these mechanics. Check out the trailer below to see the Emperor’s Children in action.

You can experience the Emperor’s Children immediately by purchasing new booster packs and DLC. Completing the first stage of their campaign will also grant you a full deck. Download the game from the Google Play Store to start your journey.

In addition to these faction updates, Warhammer 40,000 enthusiasts have another reason to celebrate with the upcoming release of a new game, Supremacy: Warhammer 40,000. Stay tuned for more details on this exciting addition to the Warhammer universe.
