There’s a slew of new Emperor’ Children miniatures on the way from Games Workshop, and they’ve published an insight into the genesis of these new Chaotic hedonists.
Released today, the article focuses on the creatives behind these new miniatures. It reveals the core concepts, themes and traits that informed their designs, and the stylistic flourishes that separate these new Emperor’s Children miniatures from the other heretical chapters in the 40k canon.
Read the fascinating article on the Games Workshop website.
