New to the forum and am mainly a Tzeentch player, but finally got a 2k point game in with the Slaves I picked up on release. Just wanted to try it out since it sounded fun.

Think that was the whole thing. Played into Slaanesh with 90 daemonettes, Syll'Esske, The Masque, an Enrapturess, a bunch of Seekers, I think a Viceleader, and some Fiends. Was fun running kind of a lower model count, elite army into such a swarm, got to pick up lots of models. Was curious how tanky an army like this would be; I'm running Tzeentch marked, which I think is the weakest mark for the most part but... I'm a Tzeentch follower through and through, and the rerolling 1s on saves in the places I didn't get full rerolls was nice. The chance to ignore spells actually came up a lot but I failed the roll every single time which was a little unfortunate. The Chaos Lords on Karkadrak are so beastly; they didn't always have amazing turns output wise, although whenever the Sorcerer Lord was able to give one rerolls on hit and wound it was pretty vicious, but man do they just survive and get work done. The one with the Helm that was also leading the battalion killed The Masque and a Contorted Epitome that he summoned, so I got to roll on Eye of the Gods twice which was really fun. He got +1 to attack to his sword and summoned a unit of pink horrors.... wish he'd done that today now that Horrors are actually really effective even outside disciples 😜
Doom-Sigil was alright, it consistently gave basically every unit I had the additional attacks and the buffer during my opponents turn was nice but didn't feel amazing exactly. Kept kind of wishing it was something else, but this was just my random thoughts after one game. Ended up losing due to a very small positioning error that kind of set all my movements back 1 turn, and the Gifts from the Heavens or whatever it's called scenario was not kind to me with its objective locations.
I really like the Daemon Prince but his effectiveness when I've used him seems to swing really wildly from game to game. I've had him just rip apart everything that comes near him in some games ,or do basically nothing. In this one he charged into Syll'Esske, did like 5 wounds really quickly, then spent like two more full rounds just wildly flailing and doing absolutely nothing haha.
Just my random thoughts from the game I played, I'm really hyped on both my factions right now and don't have many people to talk to. Huzzah for the internet. I had a super good time with it, I love my Disciples but it was kind of nice to just play a really resilient, hard hitting melee army rather than my usual wacky spell-based shenanigans.
