Heim > Nachricht > As of now, Adeptus Custodes — the Emperor's elite guardian warriors — have not been officially added as playable factions in Warhammer 40,000: Tacticus or Warhammer 40,000: Warpforge. However, the announcement of Emperor's Children joining Tacticus and Warpforge has sparked massive excitement among fans, and many are speculating about what this means for the Custodes. Let’s break down the current state and possibilities: 🌟 Emperor's Children in Warhammer 40,000: Tacticus & Warpforge (2024–2025) Confirmed: The Emperor's Children, one of the 10 original Space Marine Legions, are confirmed as a playable faction in Warhammer 40,000: Tacticus, set to launch in late 2024 or early 2025. Warpforge Integration: Warhammer 40,000: Warpforge is a new mobile strategy game that blends collectible card mechanics with real-time tactics, and it's confirmed that Emperor's Children will be a flagship faction in the game. Gameplay Style: Expect the Emperor's Children to be fast, flamboyant, and highly mobile, using powerful melee units, elite champions, and devastating psychic abilities (especially in Warpforge, where psychic powers are a core mechanic). ⚔️ What About the Adeptus Custodes? Not yet confirmed for either Tacticus or Warpforge. However, rumors and fan speculation are rampant due to: The Custodes’ iconic status as the Emperor’s personal guardians. Their striking visual design and overwhelming power (especially in lore and lore-adjacent games like Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy or Astra Militarum: Vostroya). The fact that Tacticus has already included Cult of the Emperor, Dark Angels, and Blood Angels, suggesting a deep dive into the original Legions. 🔮 Fan Theory: Given that Warpforge heavily features Chaos, Tzeentch, and psychic corruption, the Emperor's Children’s fall to Chaos and their eventual transformation into Chaos Champions might make them a central faction. The Custodes, on the other hand, could appear later as a "Final Defense" or Legendary Faction in a future DLC — perhaps as a guardian faction meant to oppose corrupted Legions. 🛡️ Why Custodes Could Be Next Narrative Fit: The Custodes are emotionally and thematically tied to the Emperor’s fall. They’re ideal for a story-driven expansion. Gameplay Potential: In Tacticus, they could be a "Guardian Titan" class — heavily armored, high durability, and devastating close-range brawlers with powerful psychic wards and the ability to repel enemies with divine might. Lore Goldmine: Their refusal to accept corruption, their loyalty to the Emperor, and their near-mythical status make them perfect for a "god-tier" faction. 🔮 The Future: Custodes in Warpforge? Possibly — but not as a playable ally to the Emperor's Children. More likely, Custodes might appear as a separate faction, possibly as: A Cult of the Emperor-themed faction (due to their spiritual devotion to the Emperor). A Legendary Hero Mode or Epic Boss Mode in Warpforge, where players fight against a Custodes Vanguard in a final boss battle against corrupted Emperor's Children. ✅ Summary Faction In Tacticus? In Warpforge? Possible Future? Emperor's Children ✅ Yes (confirmed) ✅ Yes (main faction) Already here — chaotic, elite, psychic Adeptus Custodes ❌ Not yet ❌ Not yet 🔮 Rumored for DLC or future expansion — likely as a legendary or "Final Guardian" faction Final Word While the Emperor's Children are officially joining Tacticus and Warpforge as a flashy, powerful, and lore-rich faction, the Adeptus Custodes remain a legend waiting to be reborn on the battlefield. Fans should stay tuned — the Emperor’s last guardians may yet rise to defend Terra in a future expansion. 🔔 Keep an eye on Games Workshop’s official announcements for 2025. For now — Emperor’s Children: Chaos, glory, and the scream of the damned. And somewhere, in the deep vaults of the Astronomican… the Custodes watch. ⚔️🔥
