The Warhammer Skulls 2025 event delivered a thrilling showcase of new games, DLCs, and major updates for the Warhammer universe. Mobile gamers can now explore the Adeptus Custodes in Tacticus and the Emperor’s Children in Warpforge.
Warhammer 40,000: Tacticus introduces a new Imperium faction, the Adeptus Custodes, the Emperor’s elite guardians. These warriors surpass Space Marines in strength, resilience, and firepower.
Join the Legendary Survival Event starting May 24th, led by Trajann Valoris, a commander designed to absorb and deliver devastating blows.

Warhammer 40,000: Warpforge takes a darker turn with the Emperor’s Children faction.
Once loyal to the Imperium, they betrayed it during the Horus Heresy, now serving Slaanesh in pursuit of excess and chaos.
This faction introduces three warlords: Lord Kaphrael, who targets enemy champions with his Callous Blades warband; Xarahan, embodying unchecked arrogance; and Lucius the Eternal, a master duelist with centuries of combat expertise.
Their mechanics are as intense as their lore. Ecstasy cards trigger effects at specific health thresholds, Cruelty rewards non-lethal damage, Stimulation activates when units are targeted by stratagems, and Combat Elixirs generate additional stratagems to fuel these abilities. Check out the trailer below.
