The Emperor’s Children Getting New Warhammer 40K Index
April 17, 2024 by brennon
Games Workshop announced that there is to be a bit of a change when the newest Chaos Space Marine Codex lands for Warhammer 40,000. Lucius The Eternal and the Noise Marines Slaanesh are going to be absent and instead getting their own Index.

The Chaos Space Marines are still going to be able to recruit Noise Marines for their force but the Index offers up a way to build a proper Emperor's Children army, themed after the forces of Slaanesh and their love of excess in all its forms.
Your Emperor's Children still come with the Dark Pacts army rules but you will need to pick the Slaanesh keyword to theme your force. Everything else is still available to you but you will have to put Lucius The Eternal in the spot of Warlord. He doesn't seem to care that much for his Legion at the moment in the lore but I suppose this could be his specific warband of choice.

The Index will be available for free on the Warhammer Community site allowing you to make good use of your Emperor's Children with some new 10th Edition rules. This means that we are probably going to be seeing a dedicated Codex for The Emperor's Children in the future although there's no timeline as to when that's going to be popping up.
Will you be trying to craft yourself a thematic Emperor's Children force with this Index?

No its not, its just so GW can make more money, and more money. Like GW really care about their ranges
Shock, a business wanting to make money, what is the world coming to???
Will at least 51% of them be female ?
If not, this needs to be flagged immediately.
as Daemonettes of Slaanesh used to be hermaphrodites – them being 51% female would make total sense…..Perhaps the Emperors Children could become the first Transitional chapter?
they were the original transitional chapter … that’s why the space marines hate them
