Games Workshop – Warhammer 40,000 – Emperors Children Battleforce: Lords of Excess

The Emperor’s Children are prideful traitors who have fallen victim to their depraved obsessions. Upon the battlefields of the 41st Millennium, they indulge these obsessions in a horrifyingly violent fashion. Always on the move, they are driven by their compulsive need to experience new thrills and, in honour of Slaanesh, they weave an exquisitely intricate and lurid tapestry of violence.

This packed boxed set is ideal for starting a new Emperor’s Children collection – or expanding an existing army – to unleash in games of Warhammer 40,000, and save money compared to buying the kits separately. Led by a mighty winged Daemon Prince of Slaanesh, the force is composed of power-armoured warriors – you’ll find ten Infractors and ten Tormentors for taking and holding objectives, and pushing forward into melee. Backing them up are two units of Noise Marines, ready to shred the sanity (and armour) of any who dare to oppose you.

This boxed set builds 33 multipart plastic Emperor’s Children miniatures:
1x Daemon Prince of Slaanesh with Wings
12x Noise Marines
10x Infractors (which can alternatively be built as Tormentors)
10x Tormentors (which can alternatively be built as Infractors)

The miniatures in this box are easy to customise. The Daemon Prince includes a choice of clawed or hooved legs perched atop either a cracked rock or a pile of stones and skulls. The torso can be equipped with one of two suits of armour – an ornate breastplate suited to Warhammer Age of Sigmar, or a warped parody of power armour for the 41st Millennium – each with a similar set of pauldrons and vambrace-clad forearms. The Daemon Prince can be armed with a hellforged sword, a daemonic axe, or a pair of malefic talons, with a choice of arm poses. From its back sprouts a pair of wings, a grisly trophy rack, or a corrupted Heretic Astartes power pack. The kit also includes six different heads – one designed for each of the Chaos Gods and two for Chaos Undivided – with a suite of trophies, Chaotic sigils, and tail tips to truly dedicate your creation to the Ruinous Powers.

Two of the Noise Marines can be built as an optional Disharmonists, and up to four can be armed with an optional blastmaster. The Disharmonists each have three different heads to choose from, and the Noise Marines have interchangeable heads and shoulder pads – there are 18 helmeted heads, 10 bare heads, 12 Emperor’s Children shoulder pads, and 24 standard ones.

The Infractors and Tormentors have the same frames, so you can build 20 Infractors, 20 Tormentors, or 10 of each. The Tormentors are armed with a boltgun and a close combat weapon, and two in every 10 can be armed with an optional special weapon – there are four meltaguns and four plasma guns in the kit. Alternatively, the miniatures can be assembled as Infractors, close combat warriors armed with a bolt pistol and duelling sabre. The kit includes Obsessionists to lead each squad – they each have a choice of two different loincloths and can each 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 squads – interchangeable heads and shoulder pads. There are 24 helmeted heads, 16 bare heads, 24 Emperor’s Children shoulder pads, and 40 standard ones. There’s also a multitude of accessories, including grenades, pouches, and combat stims.

This kit is supplied with 4x Emperor’s Children Transfer Sheets, each containing 150 high-quality waterslide transfers to decorate your miniatures. These include Emperor’s Children symbols in a variety of colours and sizes, plus a selection of twisted Slaaneshi runes and script.

This kit comprises 800 plastic components, 1x Citadel 60mm Round Base, 12x Citadel 40mm Round Bases, and 20x Citadel 32mm Round Bases. These miniatures require assembly and are supplied unpainted – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel Colour paints.
