Sorrow

@Enoby you gem! I have sent the document to GW. When my friend picks it up, I will let you all know.

Take a look at this Metawatch stat. Overall, it does seem that for a newly updated faction, Hedonites are struggling, at least competitively. My own personal experience in casual games has been pretty good, although I would like to field more Painbringers, Slickblades and especially Slaangors.

I think it would be wise for the survey to be up for two weeks. The larger the statistical sample, larger is the GW interest to actually take a look and read it.

I apologize for short post but I am at work so; In general I have found the following to be a problematic part of our faction: Slaangors, Painbringers, Slickblades, Shalaxi and regular Keeper of Secrets. In my opinion, Slaangors need a warscroll rewrite, while the others just need to a cost readjustment. I do not own a Be'lakor, though it is evident I must buy him asap.

Honestly, anyone who chooses the option that they are too cheaply costed is just trolling us. Slaangors are such a beautiful models with cool lore, I wish to field them as much as possible.

@Enoby you are a gem of this forum, as I said before!

In my games thus far, Glutos and Sigvald rarely, if ever, disappoint. I think they are absolutely not the problematic part of our faction.

I think it would be wise of us to continue with the survey path. GW does listen to proper feedback and the individual I plan to send final version of survey, has told me half a hour ago, that he will send it to proper GW departments. The survey will not get lost but will reach destinations, beyond that, it is up to people working in those departments.

Sorry to see you leave. Looking back, a lot of fellow Slaanesh players who posted here a year ago, are no longer posting.

More data is needed, indeed, but there are reasons why competitive players are rather choosing to play Soulblight, which were released after Hedonites. And @Cambyses is right.

Honestly, if only GW could drop the cost of Slickblades and Painbringers and rewrite Slaangors, I would call our faction perfect.

I am always willing to help with the survey and its distribution to as many people who play Slaanesh as possible. But AOS 3. will heavily feature updates for factions that are outdated, whether in rules or models, such as BoC, Skaven, Idoneth. We can do a survey and since I am on first name basis with a individual who works in their UK customer service, the survey will 100% be sent to proper departments. Beyond that, it is up to people working in those departments. @Enoby I was thinking of making a thread, where we could write what potential models we would like to see as part of Hedonites one day. Completely new models, reflecting various concepts linked to Slaanesh. Do you think there would be interest?

@Enoby Our time in the sun has passed. Other factions need attention. Quite a lot of them. I think that our rules and cost will remain as they are for years.

I think that Kruleboyz in their overall aesthetics fit very, very well with their lore and lands they lord over. They embody the "Beasts", the "Swamps" and the "Cunning" into one very interesting faction.

That would be a very good Shalaxi, quite lore correct too. Also, for my fellow Hedonites, @AngryPanda Thoughts?

Kharadon Overlords placing mildly surprises me. Pretty amusing to see the Soulblight and the Lumineth at the top and the Hedonites at the bottom.

I would be surprised too. But I think that would be a good move to truly explore the Kurnothi in depth.

@Whitefang What do you predict?

I am wondering when will we see Malerion faction and Kurnothi? In next 2-3 years maybe? I just hope Malerion does not end up merging with DoK or using the old Dark Elf model line. Kurnothi would also be better if they were a standalone faction, they are aelven beasts who belong more in Ghur then they are plant people of Ghyran.

People, a question! Do you think that there might be a second wave of Soulblight models in the future?

@PainfullyMediocre When is the book coming out?

@Enoby How does Morathi take down the Twins?

I have to say that I thought the Hedonites were the best models GW ever sculpted, but after seeing Soulblight and Kruleboyz, I am not so sure anymore. Games Workshop is truly making some beautiful miniatures.

Skaven are probably among the most popular factions GW ever designed in their entire history. But all four great clans need massive model updates plus some actual completely new heroes, units and monsters. In a way, the problem is that each Great Clan could be a battletome in itself, like Four Chaos gods have each their own.

Might be a good idea to do one more survey in month or two.
