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

The Warhammer Skulls 2025 event has been a whirlwind of exciting announcements, showcasing a plethora of new games, DLCs, and significant updates across the expansive Warhammer universe. For mobile gamers, Warhammer 40,000 enthusiasts have much to look forward to with the introduction of the Adeptus Custodes in Tacticus and the Emperor’s Children in Warpforge.

Command the Adeptus Custodes

Warhammer 40,000: Tacticus is expanding its roster with the addition of the Adeptus Custodes, the elite personal guard of the Emperor. Known for their superior strength, resilience, and formidable armament, they outshine even the Space Marines.

The Adeptus Custodes are set to make their grand entrance in a new Legendary Survival Event kicking off on May 24th. Leading the charge is Trajann Valoris, a powerhouse designed to withstand attacks and deliver devastating counterstrikes.

Curious to see them in action? Check out the new trailer below. And don't miss the chance to join the Survival Event by downloading the game from the Google Play Store today.

Kill at the Command of the Emperor’s Children!

In a stark contrast, Warhammer 40,000: Warpforge introduces the Emperor’s Children, a faction that has strayed from the Imperium’s path. Once loyal, they turned during the Horus Heresy and now worship Slaanesh, embracing excess, pain, and the thrill of pushing boundaries.

This new faction brings three warlords to the battlefield. Lord Kaphrael, leader of the Callous Blades, excels at eliminating enemy champions. Xarahan embodies arrogance, while Lucius the Eternal leverages centuries of dueling prowess.

The mechanics of the Emperor’s Children are as twisted as their lore. Cards marked with Ecstasy trigger effects when their health reaches a critical point. Cruelty rewards you for damaging enemies without finishing them off. Stimulation activates when a unit is targeted by a stratagem, and Combat Elixirs generate additional stratagems to ignite other mechanics.

Want to witness the chaos they bring? Watch the trailer below.

Beyond these thrilling additions, Warhammer 40,000 is gearing up for the release of a new game, Supremacy: Warhammer 40,000. Stay tuned for more details on this exciting development.
