Tasman Posted October 17, 2016 Author Share Posted October 17, 2016 Keep the trait. Doesn't Archaon lend his ability anyway? +1 inch movement and when an enemy unit fails battleshock within 3" one daemon unit heals d3 wounds or gets back d6 models if daemonettes.

Tasman Posted October 17, 2016 Author Share Posted October 17, 2016 The battalion was in the compendium scrolls under demons of chaos. you have to download it from the original scrolls from the rules on GW site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tasman Posted October 17, 2016 Author Share Posted October 17, 2016 I'll probably take great destroyer for a trait, and give the DP the runeblade as well. The slaanesh lord gets favor of the gods.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tasman Posted October 17, 2016 Author Share Posted October 17, 2016 Assuming Archaon doesn't need to be the general. If so, I'll just drop the trait. No biggie, I never remember to use it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.AmbulanceService Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 I've used Slaanesh loads, but they don't seem to ever do much. Daemonettes on paper look great but never do well, same story with the Soul Grinder. If you get this list to work, please post your methods, cheers!

LordRogalDorn Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Here is my 2k Slaanesh cohort list. Slaanesh DP, general, lord of war, runic blade, axe 160 Slaanesh DP, runic blade, axe 160 Hareld on Exalted Seeker chariot of Slaanesh 160 Herald on Exalted Seeker Chariot of Slaanesh 160 The Masque 80 30 Daemonettes 360 30 Daemonettes 360 30 Daemonettes 360 5 Seekers of Slaanesh 120 Battalion: Daemon Cohort of Slaanesh 40 1960 Works pretty well. Just have to really play to the missions. With my 1k version, I won a local tournament while getting tabled twice. The speed of getting to the objectives early is huge. The Daemonettes are the secret sauce that get the work done. Just make sure they have their locus ability and they can really mess with your opponents mind. Giving them as many + to hit also just boosts the number of extra attacks they get each turn. I try to Lord of War them as much as possible. With the chaos allegiance ability, and lord of war on them, they are hitting on 2+ and at 20+ models are getting an extra attack on a 3+. It can be a sickening number of attacks for your opponents to weather. The Masque is also brilliant. Again, because she just messes with your opponents mind, and does a decent amount of damage for 80 pts. I'm playing with the idea of losing a DP for Be'Lakor or skin wolves. The main advantage of the battalion is an extra relic, and the ability to drop most of your army at once to control who goes first. The +1 inch movement on the units in the battalion is useful, but they are already so fast. After a unit within 3in loses models to a bravery check, on a d6 roll of a 6 getting d3 wounds or d6 models back doesn't come up much. Anyways, good luck to you and let us know how your version of the list works out for you =) I'm really curious to see how other units perform.

Tasman Posted November 15, 2016 Author Share Posted November 15, 2016 Yeah, I wasn't thinking very clearly on that original post. Why take Him if not to make him the General? Doh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far I played two proxy games, while waiting for my Made to order models, and found them very fun but also very fragile. To the point that after the second game I think it might be wise not to be in combat with more than one unit of deamonettes/seekers. Very fun on the charge but even clanrats seem to win if the combat continues after a round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordRogalDorn Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Ya, the daemonettes do have a tendency to die off rather quickly. But their locus ability has saved a fair number of daemonettes for me. They are the definition of glass hammer, and you have to commit them wisely. The seekers are good movement blockers, artillery and support unit hunters and late game objective grabbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tasman Posted November 30, 2016 Author Share Posted November 30, 2016 Archie (320) along with boobsnake lord make your demon/mortal list pretty awesome. I keep Archie near the daenonettes, and he definitely is worth bringing just for the added chance of respawning those girls. Booblord goes along with the Hellstriders. They rock some serious attitude. Bit of a finesse army, but that's so much more fun than straight up hack and bash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, I'm going mortal/daemon at the start anyway due to some models I still have in the painting list (warriors, knights and chariot). I think supporting every unit of daemonettes with a unit of warriors that can grind through combats, while characters and seekers race around the board harassing and claiming objectives. Also very excited to finish the knights with glaives and combining them with a lord on deamonic mount for the two pile ins on the charge. Maybe even going for a Chaos sorcerer in time to also give them re-roll ones to hit/wound/save. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gumbi Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Building on this old post as I have finally painted my Slaanesh daemons. How have you guys found these lists? From my reading I think the daemons are lacking the synergies and combos found in other lists, but its what I have painted... I am using the old crab claws and don't have any of the chariots - maybe the next buy, but they are so annoying for storage! All I have painted are: KoS 2x DP 1 Herald on Snake 2 Heralds Masque 50 Daemonettes 15 Seekers 16 Fiends Soulgrinder 10 Furies (Pics - https://www.flickr.com/photos/92978626@N06/ army is setup for KoW or AoS, has taken me a long time to paint) I think for my first list I will go with the scrolls below - any ideas? I am not too sure if the KoS is worth it? DP - Flying, Axe, General (lord of war), Runic Blade - 160 DP - Flying, Sword, Runeblade - 160 Masque - 80 - I think she activates the locus on the other units? Herald on Steed - 60 20 Daemonette - 240 20 Daemonette - 240 10 Daemonette - 120 10 Seekers - 240 6 Fiends - 360 Soul Grinder - 280 Daemon Cohort of Slaanesh - 40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How have you guys found these lists? From my reading I think the daemons are lacking the synergies and combos found in other lists, but its what I have painted... Couple of things I found: - Painting the daemonettes is an absolute joy. But they are so fragile on the board. Tried 20 and 30 blocks I prefer the 20-10 set up. I felt I lost mobility with the 30 unit. - Chaos Warriors are great, (sadly have to field them as halberds due to modelling reasons) they have become my #1 objective defenders - Lord of Slaanesh on daemonic mount is very fragile, so kind of undecided on him. Combining his command ability with the sorcerer's spell on the knights is very amazing. - The movement of the mounted daemonettes is just bonkers. This weekend I managed to dart through the enemy line to charge a wizard (for the second time in a row against the same opponent, the look on his face; priceless) - Chariots keep disappointing me but I think that's more on me than anything. - Still waiting on my KoS conversion models so can't help with that. 50 minutes ago, gumbi said: (Pics - https://www.flickr.com/photos/92978626@N06/ army is setup for KoW or AoS, has taken me a long time to paint) Very cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
