Champions of Slaanesh – Emperor’s Children Army Set $230
The Emperor’s Children worship the Chaos God Slaanesh and give indulgent praise to their fell deity with every ostentatious conquest. With fusillades of explosive bolts, waves of sonic force, and sweeps of curved blades, they savage their foes in blurs of gory artistry before seeking out their next prey.
With lash and pistol, a twisted Lord Exultant leads this warband, slaughtering the foes of Slaanesh in an exquisitely lurid fashion. Behind him are Tormentors, who make up the core of many Emperor’s Children warbands. Rounding off the force are two squads of Noise Marines, who saturate the war zone with piercing bursts of shattering noise. This box is the ideal way to start an Emperor’s Children army with a range of new miniatures.
The Lord Exultant can be armed with a power fist, plasma pistol, or rapture lash in their right hand, and a Phoenix power spear, power sword, or screamer pistol in their left. They have four different power pack icons to choose from, and an option of a bare or helmeted head.
The Tormentors are armed with a boltgun and close combat weapon. For every 10 miniatures, two can be armed with a special weapon – a meltagun or a plasma gun. Alternatively, the miniatures can be assembled as Infractors, close combat warriors armed with a bolt pistol and duelling sabre. The kit includes two Obsessionists to lead your squads – they have a choice of two different loincloths, and can be armed with either a plasma pistol or bolt pistol, and a rupture lash or power sword.
Whichever unit you choose to assemble, you’ll find loads of options to customise your squad – interchangeable helmeted and bare heads, Emperor’s Children and standard shoulder pads, different power packs, and a multitude of accessories, including grenades, pouches, and combat stims.
Two of the Noise Marines can be built as optional Disharmonists, and four can be armed with an optional blastmaster. The Disharmonists have three different heads to choose from and the Noise Marines have interchangeable helmeted and bare heads, Emperor’s Children and standard shoulder pads, different power packs, and speakers for their sonic blasters, making it simple to personalise your squad.
This box is also the first place to find the new Codex: Emperor’s Children, a 112-page hardback book with an exclusive cover, packed with inspiring lore, updated rules, and epic artwork. In addition to the book and miniatures, you’ll find a deck of datasheet cards and an Emperor’s Children Transfer Sheet.
The set includes the following multipart plastic miniatures:
– 1x Lord Exultant
– 20x Tormentors (which can alternatively be built as Infractors)
– 12x Noise Marines
Also included:
– Codex: Emperor’s Children – a 112-page hardback book with soft-touch cover and artwork exclusive to this boxed set
– Datasheet cards: Emperor’s Children, containing 22 cards
– 1x Emperor’s Children Transfer Sheet, containing 150 high-quality waterslide transfers
This kit comprises 689 plastic components, 20x Citadel 32mm Round Bases, and 14x Citadel 40mm Round Bases. These miniatures require assembly and are supplied unpainted – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.
The miniatures in this box will be available separately at a later date.
The book also contains a one-use code to unlock Codex: Emperor’s Children content in Warhammer 40,000: The App, which can be used when the Codex goes on general release.
Spiritseer Kygharil guides their small band of determined Aeldari through the Webway to defend their craftworld’s hidden gateways and ancient, precious ruins. Lightning-fast Dire Avengers make up the bulk of this swift and deadly Combat Patrol. Joining them are a squad of elite Wraithblades armed with deadly ghostaxes, and a unit of Warp Spiders who attack by making short but dangerous leaps through the Immaterium before firing clouds of razor-sharp monofilament wire at the foe.
This box contains 24 plastic miniatures that represent a complete Kygharil’s Protectors force for use in Combat Patrol games of Warhammer 40,000. It’s an ideal way to start an Aeldari army or easily add to an existing collection, and save money compared to buying the contents separately.
The Wraithblades can be armed with either a pair of ghostswords or with a ghost axe and forceshield. They can alternatively be built as Wraithguard, which can be armed with a wraith cannon or a D-scythe to banish foes into the warp.
Two of the Dire Avengers can be assembled as an optional Exarch who can be armed with a shuriken catapult, two shuriken catapults, a diresword and a shuriken pistol, or a power weapon and shimmershield. Each Exarch also has an optional back banner, and a choice of two heads – one helmeted and one bare, making it easy to personalise your squad leaders.
One of the Warp Spiders can be assembled as an optional Warp Spider Exarch who can be armed with powerblades and death weavers, a powerblade array, death weavers and spinneret rifle, or an Exarch’s death spinner. The Warp Spiders can each take one of various head options, including bare heads, and there are also decorative base parts to further customise your miniatures.
This set includes the following multipart plastic miniatures:
– 1x Spiritseer
– 5x Wraithblades (which can alternatively be built as Wraithguard)
– 5x Warp Spiders with 1x Aspect Shrine token
– 10x Dire Avengers with 2x Aspect Shrine tokens
This kit comprises 320 plastic components, 15x Citadel 28.5mm Round Bases, 5x Citadel 40mm Round Bases, and 4x Citadel 25mm Round Bases. This set also includes 1x Aeldari Transfer Sheet containing 378 high-quality waterslide transfers to customise your miniatures.
These miniatures require assembly and are supplied unpainted – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.
