While not bad, pretenders is far inferior to seekers in my view which allows for easy turn 1 engagement. Very tempting to switch to pretenders in the short term though, daemonettes and fiends with +1 attack is savage (albeit fiends will struggle to stay in range), 20 daemonettes can easily churn out 55-60 hits in combat. Fiends getting 2 attacks with their barbed tail if they are in range and then making them attack twice can sting to death even the likes of archaon with D6 damage per sting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enoby Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 It seems like we got some pretty nice buffs! Don't know if it was mentioned, but our side comes to 520 points. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothicwaltz Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Looks like I need to get two boxes eventually, and grab an extra icon for my Daemonettes to replace the one I used for my Chaos Sorcerer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enoby Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Assuming a points cost of 180 (putting the herald at 140), how many fiends would be optimal? I'm thinking a unit of 6 is best - maybe two units of 6? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said its 520 points of slaanesh in the box Curent points Dameonettes 100 Seekers 120 Fiend 140 So 360 that's a 160 points left for the Herald I dont think the herald is 160 so I could see some point increases. If fiends are 180 then the herald would be 120. Its possible dameonettes went up in price. The fiends could be 160 and the herld 100 to 140. A bloodsecrator is 140 and the slaanesh herald is probably in the same territory. Some interesting possibilities.

I havent heard anything about the battalion cost unless I missed it in the stream but the 520 was the cost for all the units. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enoby Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 How useful do you think the infernal enrapturess will be? Her shooting seems decent (like a mini canon with better accuracy), but I don't know if it would be worth taking more than one. At the same time, the chance of some boost to depravity points really interests me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poryague Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 I think the daemonettes offensive performance is comparable (not perfectly) to witch aelf. They have to cast spells and prays to get the rend and the 6 to hits count as 2 hits these abilities are baseline for daemonettes. The witch aelfs have more attacks baseline and a better hit but for a command point the keeper can help get the number of attacks up. So its possible they went up slightly in points I hope not but it seems the daemonettes got more powerful. The fiend obviously got more powerful so could have gone up to 160 to 200. Anyone good at guessing point cost have any ideas? I know we will know pretty soon anyways but see if we can guess it before they release it.

The ability to generate depravity at range and passively could be strong depending on whats going on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnith Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 So I think 1 will find a place in most lists. Heralds on steed are still going to be popular, especially because you will want one to keep up with Fiends for their reroll 1's to hit. Maybe there might be a list that has maybe 2, with the idea that they move up and shoot heroes off the start for depravity generation, cause you definitely do not want this girls in combat. Taking two to shove an exposed hero with 2 attacks with -3 rend, d3 damage will be straight up damage for most heroes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnith Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Anyone think we may see some changes to pretenders? I noticed that both Daemonettes and Seekers get rerolls of 1 just for having the standard, which becomes less of a reason to run pretenders and it's reroll of 1's for large squads. Still useful for non-daemon Slaanesh, but makes me a bit sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe on stream they said the box comes with the allegiance abilities in it so its possible if a change happened its already in the box.
