Joshy and Jonny dive into the recently unleashed excess of the Emperor’s Children, breaking down their latest faction support—shiny new models, fun detachments, and an extremely flavorful narrative ruleset. Fulgrim has returned, Lucius is lurking, and Slaanesh Daemons are in the mix, but does this release live up to the hype, or is it just a half-baked, drug-fueled soufflé?
From stunning sculpts to questionable roster choices, we explore what Games Workshop nailed and what feels frustratingly unfinished. Join us for a first-look reaction to the depraved 3rd Legion—a psychedelic carnival of chaos, corruption, and just a little bit of existential dread.

TTP Field Manual is brought to you by Joshy and Jonny, best friends and gaming enthusiasts from their local group, Trust the Process Hobbies. Die-hard fans of the Warhammer universe, we use this podcast as a platform to share our passionate (and somewhat humorous) ramblings about all things Grimdark.
By day, Joshy is a therapist; by night, he's an RPG aficionado who grew up on (not-so) Final Fantasies and crafting his own Dungeons & Dragons worlds. Jonny, a hospitality manager, spends his downtime conquering more video games than Joshy can keep track of.

Notes:
- The Emperor’s Children are back with some slick new models—but after years of waiting, is it enough to satisfy the fans?
- We break down the absurdity of the new detachments and rules, questioning whether they actually bring anything meaningful to the game.
- Crusade rules introduce a wild mechanic where characters can start battle-shocked if they don’t get their 'fix' of combat elixirs.
- Fulgrim’s model is stunning, but his rules? A bit underwhelming—does he truly shine on the battlefield?
- While the Emperor’s Children embrace pure chaos in theme, their actual gameplay feels surprisingly lacking compared to other factions.
- We can’t help but laugh at the absurdity of the new rules—an amazing mix of beautiful models and frustrating roster gaps.
