Oldshrimpeyes Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 I didn't realise Gors/Ungors could be taken as battleline in anything aside from BoC allegiance or just good old GA chaos. If getting the mark of Slaanesh is enough to make them legal battleline then this is good news indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enoby Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 These new rules are crazy good! Fiends will annihilate in combat with their improved tails. I really wonder if we can stack the depravity points ability. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The battalion is good if you want to fill out your battleline with cheap beastment battleline, benefit from the artifact and command point, and gain access to depravity point efficient units like the doombull or add a bray shaman. Doombulls aren't to be underestimated at putting out a good amount of dmg. 31 minutes ago, Oldshrimpeyes said: I didn't realise Gors/Ungors could be taken as battleline in anything aside from BoC allegiance or just good old GA chaos.

The Slaanesh batallion can help large units of Beastmen (re-roll 1s on 10+) or make a fast army faster but still sits in an odd spot. Also that Harp players ability is GONZO good. I imagine they will sell a lot of Wrath and Rapture before LVO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enoby Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 I really wonder if these rules will boost Slaanesh ahead in the meta; so long as there are no massive points hikes for the fiends, they seem like skyfire quality units. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primique Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 (edited) It looks like the Enrapturess has a similar mechanic to the cogs, so we can choose between Discordant Disruption or Harmonic Alignment but can't have both. This is incorrect. Edited December 12, 2018 by Primique New information Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenshin620 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 I'm curious if the +1 Dep Point is a army wide one per turn thing or a one per Infernal Enrapturess. I'm assuming the former, kind of like how BoC work (you can't have multiple heroes sacrificing on the herdstone). Vs Khorne who can have a bunch of slaughterpriest since theres always the chance the blood sacrifice can fail and takes up their prayer use.

Very similar to the blastmaster in 40k - a special noise marine weapon that can either rapid fire or do a big blast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure it's a Generic Character. GW seems to be very much shying away from special characters for the most part outside a few exceptions. If anything they like to use Generic Heroes to have "names" like a good chunk of the Nighthaunt heroes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock Lobster Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 The fiends seem really solid. Their damage output is likely still low against infantry, but great at hitting a big gribbly and using the command ability to strike twice. Their resilience is really the best bit though. 4 wounds and if you have 4 or more models -1 to hit and wound is massive. A unit of 9 paired up with a 5 man hellstrider unit will be -2 to hit and -1 to wound meaning they can stick around forever and almost impossible to battleshock off. Imagine the dreaded 120 skeleton attacks with their ability and spell stacking would normally be 20 wounds on your unit. Instead it would be around 4 wounds. You can attack with your more fragile hard hitting units first and these guys can tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure you would want more than 1 though subject to points and abilities that may come with a book release, the shooting is lacklustre (notable only because we have none) and you only need 1 for the 24 inch spell denial. Depends if the +1 depravity point stacks. The good part with it is the ability to earn depravity points at long range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A unit of 20 before would average 28-29 hits without any external buffs. Now that same unit will average 38 hits, that is a massive increase in output. Dont underestimate the locus ability on these guys too for survivability. Again paired with Hellstriders for the -1 to hit and having to reroll 6's is a pain for people. The horn is super good against other daemons when they get excited they will gain back D6 models from battleshock and have to reroll... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Battalion might be the most exciting news, even if it is rubbish getting an extra artifact and fewer drops could be really good as long as it doesn't require you to have lots of poor units. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
