What’s in the Box? The Champions of Slaanesh Army Set

Miniatures and Models:
The Champions of Slaanesh army set includes 33 beautifully sculpted miniatures, designed to capture the grandeur and decadence that the Emperor’s Children are renowned for. These include:

• Lord Exultant and Retinue: The centerpiece of the set, the Lord Exultant, arrives as a charismatic leader with several weapon options including the phoenix power spear, rupture lash, and a variety of power packs and head options for maximum customization. This model, dripping with gilded armour and prismatic weapons, brings both style and power to your forces.

• Noise Marines: Two squads of six Noise Marines are included. Known for their love of sonic warfare, these miniatures offer players a host of weapon customization options, allowing them to create either long-range tormentors with sonic blasters or close-combat focused Infractors, obsessed with melee devastation.

• Tormentors and Infractors: 20 Space Marines are included in this kit, with a range of customization options, allowing you to create versatile units to suit your preferred playstyle, whether that be devastating from afar or striking with precision up close.

• Exclusive Codex: The set also includes a limited edition, 112-page Emperor’s Children codex, designed with a stunning pink foil cover and black ribbon page marker. Packed with lore, stunning artwork, and updated rules, this codex is an essential guide for fielding your Champions of Slaanesh army on the battlefield.

• Datasheet Cards and Transfers: A set of 22 datasheet cards is included to streamline your gameplay experience. You’ll also receive a transfer sheet with 150 transfers to help you personalize and detail your miniatures to perfection.

The Ultimate Collection:
The Champions of Slaanesh set is an all-in-one package for players who want to bring the full force of the Emperor’s Children to their gaming tables. It offers not just a collection of miniatures, but a complete experience, from lore to tactics. This release is available while stocks last, so it’s a limited-time opportunity for collectors and players alike.

Combat Patrol: Aeldari vs. Emperor’s Children

Alongside the Champions of Slaanesh set, Games Workshop also introduces the Emperor’s Children Combat Patrol titled The Callous Blade. This box set is focused on high-speed, high-impact gameplay, featuring:

• 1x Lord Exultant: The same charismatic leader from the army set, capable of inspiring and leading your forces with fervor.

• 10x Infractors: These fast-moving units excel in close combat and come with the “Precision” ability to hunt down characters and key enemies with ease. Their ability to perform a scout move before the battle begins makes them an excellent tactical asset.

• 6x Flawless Blades: These elite units, equipped with Bliss Blades, are the true paragons of melee combat. Each member has made a pact with a daemonic patron, which boosts their strength in combat – but failure comes at a deadly price.

This Combat Patrol set is perfect for players looking to blitz across the battlefield with overwhelming speed and power, establishing dominance early in the game.

Lucius the Eternal: The Face of Slaanesh

One of the most iconic figures of the Emperor’s Children, Lucius the Eternal, also receives special mention as part of this new wave of releases. The character, a true embodiment of Slaanesh’s gift for perfection and torment, is a fearsome figure who can be fielded as a Lone Operative. Lucius has died multiple times but refuses to stay dead, with each death only making him more dangerous and grotesque. His lore and gameplay reflect his twisted existence, offering players the chance to field a truly malevolent figure that embodies the essence of Slaanesh.

The New Emperor’s Children Range: A Feast for the Senses

The new models, miniatures, and rules offer a feast for the senses, from their stunning sculpted details to the intricacy of the Chaos aesthetic. The Emperor’s Children are known for their flamboyant and ostentatious designs, and this release is no exception. Whether it’s the glittering prismatic armour of the Lord Exultant, the cascading sound waves of the Noise Marines, or the elegant, yet deadly Flawless Blades, every model captures the disturbing beauty of Slaanesh’s influence.

From a gameplay perspective, these new units bring a host of tactical options to the table. Whether you prefer dominating through sheer volume of sonic firepower, outflanking your opponents with speed, or engaging in brutal melee combat, the Emperor’s Children offer something for every Warhammer 40K player.

Conclusion: Perfection in Every Detail

The Champions of Slaanesh army set and the Emperor’s Children Combat Patrol represent a new era for the Emperor’s Children faction, combining breathtaking miniatures with a deeper dive into their decadent and chaotic lore. With an array of customization options, tactical versatility, and truly striking models, these sets offer an unbeatable opportunity for players to build a powerful and visually stunning army.
