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

The Warhammer Skulls 2025 event has brought an exciting array of new content to the Warhammer universe, unveiling new games, DLCs, and major updates. Mobile gamers are in for a treat with the introduction of the Adeptus Custodes in Warhammer 40,000: Tacticus and the Emperor’s Children in Warhammer 40,000: Warpforge.

Command the Adeptus Custodes

Warhammer 40,000: Tacticus is expanding its roster with the addition of the Adeptus Custodes, the elite bodyguards of the Emperor. Renowned for their superior strength, resilience, and advanced weaponry, they outmatch even the formidable Space Marines.

Starting May 24th, players can engage with the Adeptus Custodes in a new Legendary Survival Event. Leading the charge is Trajann Valoris, a character designed to withstand heavy damage while delivering devastating counterattacks. You can get a glimpse of their gameplay in the latest trailer and jump into the action by downloading the game from the Google Play Store.

Kill at the Command of the Emperor’s Children!

In a contrasting move, Warhammer 40,000: Warpforge introduces the Emperor’s Children, a faction that once served the Imperium but turned during the Horus Heresy to follow the dark path of Slaanesh. Their new allegiance to excess, pain, and pushing boundaries is reflected in their gameplay.

This faction features three unique warlords: Lord Kaphrael, who targets enemy champions and leads the Callous Blades; Xarahan, driven by arrogance; and Lucius the Eternal, with his centuries of dueling expertise. The mechanics of the Emperor’s Children are as twisted as their lore, with cards like Ecstasy triggering effects at low health, Cruelty rewarding damage without death, Stimulation activating upon stratagem targeting, and Combat Elixirs generating extra stratagems.

Explore their gameplay in the trailer below and dive into the new content available in booster packs and DLC. Completing the first step of their campaign will reward you with a full deck. Grab the game from the Google Play Store to experience it firsthand.

In addition to these thrilling updates, the Warhammer 40,000 series is set to launch a new game, Supremacy: Warhammer 40,000. Stay tuned for more details on this upcoming title.
