Warhammer 40k tabletop miniatures set Games Workshop Patrouille Emperor's Children (2025) boxed set

Warhammer 40k Patrouille Emperor's Children (2025) boxed set by Games Workshop contains 17 multipart plastic miniatures designed for use in the Warhammer 40,000 tabletop wargame. The set represents the Callous Blades warband led by Lord Kaphrael, including six Flawless Blades and ten Infractors (which can alternatively be built as Tormentors). The kit provides a Combat Patrol-sized force, multiple weapon and head options, and the parts needed to assemble and base each model for collecting, painting and play.

Advantages

This boxed set bundles a complete small force in one package, offering cost savings versus buying models individually. The multipart plastic components provide a variety of weapon, head and accessory options for easy customization of individual miniatures. The box includes a generous number of components and bases to equip the unit compositions described, making it suitable for both hobby modelling and tabletop gaming. Models arrive unpainted and require assembly, allowing hobbyists to control conversion and painting choices.

How to use

Carefully remove parts from sprues using clippers, clean mould lines with a hobby knife or file, and dry-fit pieces before applying adhesive. Assemble models using a plastic model glue designed for polystyrene to achieve strong joints. Attach each miniature to the supplied 40mm or 32mm round base as appropriate. Prime and paint using acrylic hobby paints; Citadel Colour paints and Citadel Plastic Glue are compatible with the material. Allow glue and paint to fully cure before handling or gaming.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use dedicated plastic model clippers, a hobby knife, and files to prepare parts, and apply a spray or brush-on primer before painting. Assemble sub-assemblies that are easy to hold while painting, then complete final assembly after painting where appropriate. Store unused sprues and instruction leaflets in a dry place for future conversions or repairs.
