Endless Agony: A Slaanesh Army Blog by Jenn <3

I'm wondering about the blocks of Warriors and Marauders.  I'm not a Slaanesh master by any means, but when I'm running Chaos I've found that the Warriors especially need some support to warrant their 360 points.  So maybe just a question back to you that I'm curious about too with a Slaanesh theme:

What are some of the synergies that you'll use with this list to make those two units potent?

Well I should probably start off my saying im not super competative or a WAAC player. One of the reasons I moved over to AoS from the other games was to get away from a lot of that. This is mainly for easy pickup games.

As for taking those models aside from the need to fill battleline?

I figured a big blob of warriors (who can be marked slaanesh) would be tough to kill and a great tarpit or objective holder with a shrine or sorcerer.

The marauders are just cheap blobs of bodies for the same purpose. They can be marked slaanesh and they fill a required spot on my comp. 

Wanted to pop in and say "YES!" to someone running a Slaanesh list.

Have you used Seekers yet? I don't have their points to hand, but their speed output is ludicrous. Borderline auto-first turn charge. And great for objective grabbing.

Having played against warriors a few times, their save and 2 wounds a piece do make them a tarpit unit. It's easy to forget that at 2 wounds they're basically double the size of what they appear for that purpose.

Have you considered the Fiends of Slaanesh? They are deadly fast and quite killy. You can also use them as a fast tarpit with their 4 wounds apiece and the -1 to hit they impose their enemies in combat.

Both fiends and seekers are both on my to buy list for swap outs in terms of flexibility but I'm mostly trying to keep daemon units to a minimum as I originally wanted it to be almost all mortal based but decided to throw some demon stuff in for flavor. I think I have plenty of tarpit with the knights and the Warriors but the seeker speed is certainly tempting. Would be nice to quickly pick off warmachines.

How does the Herald on Exalted Seeker Chariot play on the tabletop?

Been considering the model.

Well when exalted chariots make a charge move you roll a dice for every MODEL within 1" and on a 4+ their unit takes D3 mortal wounds. That alone is pretty gross and a good way to lawnmower hordes. 

Ultimate chaff destroyer!

I... I must have one!

Excellent. Will pick one up. 

Lol Just realized that "lawnmower" is the perfect metaphor for what it will do to Sylvaneth. 

 

 

I'm sure they deserved it.  >: )
