Poryague Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Daemon magic looks like herald daemonette or one of the new ones is becoming a wizrd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poryague Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 There is a ****** load of ways to get depravity. The article says we get it through Mortal wounds now to. So stack up on some daemon units. Some this actually looks really solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enoby Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 I can see us reaching high tier 1 if we see no major nerfs to our army after this preview. I think fiends, with the new Euphoric Killers ability, may even be better than daemonettes (unless daemonettes replace their lost ability with something ridiculous); just for their speed and more powerful attacks. Shame to see a nerf to Seekers, but their depravity point generation is easiest imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poryague Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Also point out that eveything now has the daemonettes 6 count as 2 hits even the HEROES in the army. Things will die spectacularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if the 6 in pile in is still a thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poryague Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 (edited) God seekers and invaders depravity mechanic seems easiest to pull off. Pretenders makes the general as usual a beat stick. Also point out how so many abilietes seem to be army wide. This can trun things that can be marked slaanesh into monster.

We could kind of do that anyway with the 6" pile in as there's nothing that stops you retreating and piling in, but it's nice to see that we likely won't need to take Devotee of Torment as much anymore.

With godseekers probably not unless the thing you hit dies and you want to pile in for the second activation. Assuming the second pile in mechanic stays.

Enoby Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Also, the normal daemon lore of magic suggests that our heralds may become casters - otherwise we have no normal daemon spellcasters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Izotzuhure Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 And did you realise that Euphoric Killers talks about Chaos Slaanesh, which means Beastmen would also be affected? Also, Locus sounds amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exliontamer Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Man...so much here to wade through. And everything looks baseline "good." Special mention of the Whip of Subversion which gives the opponent the unenviable choice of breaking up that one unit and the hero they need for support or just handing you like 4 free mortal wounds average (I can't think of many heroes who don't have at least a 4 attack weapon on their profile). Or even better, since both its ability and Locus of Diversion happen at the "end of combat"...and based on that in-depth article they published several weeks ago that means that on your turn you get to choose the order things happen at the "end of combat"...so if they have two heroes next to each other you can Locus one of the heroes (the most dangerous one) and likely have the other hero kill it with mortal wounds before it can attack. https://www.warhammer-community.com/2019/03/21/who-fights-first/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poryague Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 The rules seem solid. The other thing is if we dont get mortal specific units. These rules do good job making something marked slaanesh regardless of what it is a hedonistic loonatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poryague Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 "When building your Slaanesh army, you’ll be able to customise them further by picking a Host to which they are dedicated. Each has an additional allegiance ability, a new way to generate depravity points, and its own SELECTION of command traits and artefacts." So the host are chambers or covens it seems. So it seems 1 thing is missing from each host list. Or its saying the host is what determines the comand trait list and artifact list instead of keywords like mortal and daemon.

I believe this is what its saying - obviously its just my guess but I think you'll get access to relics/traits via your host rather than if you're a demon/mortal.

ChaosUndivided Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Man this looks so good. I'm gonna hold out and see how this all unfolds but i can already hear Slaanesh calling my name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re reading its definently looking that way. "Godseekers artefacts and command traits offer speed and flexibility to the Hero using them.

SwampHeart Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 I'm interested to see how BoC fit into the new book - looks like its going to be more permissive with its bonuses than some of the other books so maybe I'll be able to let my goats play with the Hedonites as well.

I think this book looks really good for mixing stuff (with them specifically calling out Chaos Slaanesh) so I'm hoping the spell lores and artefacts are more available than the other gods. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, they did say the lores were for daemons, mortals, and greater daemons, so not a lot of luck there unless they made a mistake. 'Mortals' is weird though because that's the StD sorcerers and... Archaon? I think that's it. Also the cynic in me thinks that skipping out on mortals for this book is GWs way of clearing out some slaves to darkness stock before the darkoath rework. Giving marauders and chaos warriors access to Euphoric Killers is a great way to sell big blocks of models. Either way, the preview looks solid. Slaanesh didn't need much, so as long as this doesn't come with major cost hikes on the depravity table slaanesh is going to be in a fantastic place and piggybacking some beasts/StD in will at least give some options for list building.
