Warhammer 40K - Codex: Emperor's Children
This book is your "starter motor" for the Emperor’s Children: it explains how to build the army, how to play it on the tabletop, and why its style is so much fun. If you want your first games to be a real experience rather than just guessing the rules, this is exactly the piece you want to have on hand.

About the book
Warhammer 40K - Codex: Emperor's Children is the official rulebook for the Emperor’s Children in Warhammer 40,000. You'll find everything essential in one place: faction rules, unit overviews, army building options, as well as inspiration for visuals and background story. It's exactly the type of book that gives you the "now I know what I'm doing" feeling.

What you'll find inside
- Faction rules and detachments – clearly explained so you can jump into the game right away
- Unit and wargear datasheets – quick lookup on the table without unnecessary flipping through pages
- Stratagems, enhancements, and abilities – exactly those "wow moments" that decide battles
- Lore and visual inspiration – so your army has style, colors, and a story
Gaming use
You'll use the Codex when building your army and during the game. It explains how the Emperor’s Children work on the tabletop, what their strengths are, and how to get the most out of them without having to study hundreds of forum posts. For a beginner, it's the fastest way to make the game make sense and be both fair and fun.
Atmosphere and story
Do you want an army that isn't just "some miniatures" but has its own identity? The lore section gives you the motivation to collect, paint, and name your units. Because of this, every battle will feel like a chapter of your own story – and that is exactly why Warhammer is so captivating.
Who this book is for
- Complete beginners: you want to start with Emperor’s Children and don't want to guess what to buy and how to play
- Returning players: you need to quickly catch up with the current playstyle and have the rules clearly laid out
- Collectors and painters: you want inspiration, lore, and visual references for the army
How it fits into the Emperor’s Children army
This codex is the "central brain" of the army: it helps you choose units that work together and shows you how to build lists for different playstyles (fast offensive, objective pressure, ability combos). Thanks to this, you won't be buying blind – you'll know what makes sense and why.
What you need to play
| Need | Why |
|---|---|
| Warhammer 40,000 Core Rules | To navigate the general part of the game (turns, shooting, combat, missions). The Codex then provides the rules for your faction. |
| Emperor’s Children miniatures + dice and tape measure | You'll play your first battles with miniatures; dice and measuring are the basics of every game. |
| Cards / reference sheets (recommended) | They speed up the game and save you from flipping pages. Ideal if you want to play briskly even at your first events. |
Recommended next steps
| Next step | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Starting an Emperor’s Children army | Start with one box of units (Combat Patrol / starter box), and use the codex to gradually fill in the roles you're missing. |
| Paints and painting | A primer + a basic palette of colors will give you a quick "wow" result. If you want, I can suggest a specific 10 colors for your army's style. |
| Gaming accessories | Dice, tape measures, a playmat, and an army transport box – small things that make a huge difference in comfort. |
FAQ
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Is it suitable for a complete beginner? | Yes. The Codex gives you a clear framework of what the units do and how to combine them. I recommend having the core rules alongside it. |
| Is the book in Czech? | This edition is in English. However, the text is written clearly, and after a few games, you will navigate it with absolute ease. |
| Do I need it if I mainly want to paint? | It's great for painting too: you'll find lore, inspiration, and references for the units. Plus, it often motivates you to build an army for playing as well. |
| What if I already play Warhammer 40,000? | Then it's practically a must-have for Emperor’s Children – you get faction rules, list-building options, and a unit overview all in one place. |
