Maison > Nouvelles > As of now, Adeptus Custodes and the Emperor's Children (a Chaos Space Marine chapter) have not been officially released as playable factions in Warhammer 40,000: Tacticus or Warpforge. Let's break down what’s known and what fans might expect: 🔥 Warhammer 40,000: Tacticus – Current State Tacticus is a real-time strategy mobile game developed by Saber Interactive and Kazoo, set in the grimdark universe of Warhammer 40k. As of 2024, the confirmed playable factions include: Imperial Guard Space Marines (Adeptus Astartes) Chaos Space Marines (including Traitor Legions like Black Legion, World Eaters, etc.) Tyranids Necrons Dark Angels (in some regions, as a special unlock) Adeptus Custodes and Emperor’s Children are not currently available in the base game. ⚔️ Adeptus Custodes – Why They’re Not in Tacticus (Yet) The Custodes are extremely powerful, elite guardians of the Emperor, and their inclusion would require a significant balance adjustment. Their unique abilities, such as teleportation (Eyes of the Emperor), superhuman durability, and master-crafted weapons, would make them overpowered if not implemented with great care. They are traditionally not fielded in large numbers, so their gameplay would need to be adapted for a mobile RTS format. However, fan demand is high, and Saber has hinted at future faction drops—Custodes may be a future DLC or seasonal addition. 🌪️ Emperor’s Children – Why They’re Not in Tacticus The Emperor’s Children are a Chaos Space Marine chapter, known for their fanatic devotion to the God of Change (Khorne), hedonism, and chaotic brutality. They are already represented in the Chaos faction in Tacticus, but as a generic Chaos Legion rather than a unique chapter. Their distinct identity, including bizarre armor, daemonic warbands, and psychic madness, hasn’t been fully realized in-game. Some fans speculate that the Emperor’s Children could appear as a faction-specific DLC or seasonal event unit pack, especially if a "Chaos Lords" expansion is released. 🛠️ Warpforge – What Is It? Warpforge is a fantasy-based collectible card game (CCG) set in the Warhammer 40k universe, developed by Warpforge Games. It is not a video game, but a tabletop-style digital card game, currently in development. As of now, Warpforge has not announced any official partnerships with Tacticus, nor has it confirmed inclusion of Adeptus Custodes or Emperor’s Children. The game is expected to feature unique factions, including Chaos, Imperium, and extradimensional threats, but no official roster has been released. ✅ What’s Possible in the Future? Custodes DLC: Highly anticipated. Could feature a "Guardians of Terra" campaign or limited-time event. Emperor’s Children Expansion: Possibly as a Chaos Legion variant, with special abilities like Frenzy, Daemonic Possession, and Lust for Battle. Faction Customization: Future updates may allow players to unlock unique warlord traits, distinct unit skins, and chapter-specific upgrades. 🔚 Final Verdict: ❌ No, as of now, Adeptus Custodes and the Emperor’s Children are not playable in Warhammer 40,000: Tacticus or Warpforge. ✅ But fan speculation and official hints suggest they could be added in future DLCs or expansions—especially if Tacticus continues to expand its roster. Stay tuned for official announcements from Saber Interactive, Games Workshop, and Warpforge Games—the Emperor’s might may yet rise on the battlefield.
