Third Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 I was mentioned earlier in this topic that there might be a balance FAQ in December, From where do we know this to be true, and do we have any idea of when to expect this? I'm trying to prepare for a campaign starting in January, but it is kind of hard to write a list and buy models when stuff might change soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poryague Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 So new lord of chaos ability appears to be a double activation ability for slaves. This could make some of the slave units more interesting in slaanesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea how harsh this nerf will be - if it will just be points, or if our allegiance abilities will change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poryague Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Looks like chaos sorcerer spell now lets you reroll hit and wound rolls. This could make it worth while to take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnith Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 an interesting buff, wonder if its still any allied unit, or if its tied to slaves to darkness. I'm sure the last thing they want is a chaos sorc lord in slaanesh giving the keeper of secrets full rerolls on hits and wounds for all of its attacks.

Well during gw battle report it sounded like it just targets a friendly unit. It could be std only will find out Saturday when reviews go up. Even if it's std only I have found marauders to be fun to play with. Again depends how much they change mauraders in this book. Varangaurd now just pick a mark so there not allies now. Though it depends on points and other changes if they are worth talking. This could be the only way we get our mortal side of Slaanesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enoby Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 I'm happy to hear that varanguard can be marked. If the chaos sorcerer is markable and usable by us, he could really see some use imo - he can fit in syberites and he can make it so two keepers can get rerolls to hit (one from fane, one from his spell).

Ocular vision I think it may have changed as well to reroll saves he was some how handing out save rerolls. So yeah the kos in your face with reroll hit and wounds possibly armour would be devastating. Large units as Well synergizes well with daemonic empowerment with our exploding 6s. There could be a couple juicy units in the book. May need them because of the upcoming slaanesh adjustment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh, depending on how severe our points increases are, we may lose out on a keeper and include him instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poryague Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Chaos lord on foot gives an std unit a second activation used at start of combat phase. So this will fit with the slaanesh play style. Double activation with those rerolls and exploding 6s hit pretty hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enoby Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Do you think we'll have any use for varanguard or will they end up being fiends 2? Even with some reasonable buffs, I fear they just won't be worth it compared to just using heroes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
