Exciting news is on the horizon for Warhammer 40k fans. Games Workshop has previously announced that the Emperor’s Children will be making their long-awaited return to the tabletop in 2025, as revealed during Warhammer Day 2024 last October.
Alongside this announcement, they showcased new renders of shoulder pads and helmets that partially confirm the rumors swirling around.
Fulgrim’s Legion is Back!
From revamped legionnaires to a brand-new Fulgrim model that could rival Angron in terms of sculpting, here’s what we know so far about the iconic Emperor’s Children faction, their current rules for 10th Edition, and what it means for Chaos Space Marines moving forward.
Rumored New Releases for the Emperor’s Children
- Emperor’s Children Codex Book
- Launch (Army) Box
- Revamped Legionnaires
- New Noise Marines
- Daemon-Fused Swordsmen: A New Elite Unit
- Lucius the Eternal
- New HQ Model
- Daemon Primarch Fulgrim
The Emperor’s Children have always been a cornerstone of Chaos Space Marine lore, known for their devotion to Slaanesh, the Chaos God of excess.
This legion boasts a rich history in the Warhammer 40k universe, but unlike other Chaos factions like the World Eaters and Death Guard, they’ve been without a dedicated codex for quite some time.
While the full codex release date hasn’t been confirmed yet, we’ve already caught a glimpse through the Warhammer 40k index rules for the Emperor’s Children. Most fans expect the release to mirror what the World Eaters received in 9th Edition.
Lucius the Eternal: A Model Update on the Horizon?
There are also rumors that Lucius the Eternal, one of the most notorious champions of Chaos, will receive a new model.
Fans have eagerly awaited this update, and speculation suggests that the new model will embody Lucius’ arrogance and the curse that renders him impossible to kill.
His updated design could highlight the twisted perfection that defines his character.
If this comes to fruition, Lucius would be a significant addition to any Emperor’s Children army and a major draw for collectors and hobbyists alike.
New HQ Model and the Anticipated Fulgrim
Another thrilling rumor involves the potential introduction of a new HQ model. While specifics are still sparse, this new leader could provide an alternative to Lucius, broadening the faction’s leadership options and possibly introducing fresh dynamics into their command structure.
Additionally, there are hints that upgrade sprues might be included, allowing players to customize their HQ unit and align it with their army’s unique theme.
The most exciting—and highly speculated—rumor centers around Fulgrim, the Daemon Primarch of the Emperor’s Children.
Fans have been longing for a plastic Daemon Fulgrim model for years, and whispers suggest that Games Workshop may have crafted what could be one of their most impressive models yet.
While nothing is set in stone, the mere thought of Fulgrim finally making his debut is incredibly exciting!
