Not gonna lie. This battlescroll is yet another disappointment for my hedonites. The few point drops won t do anything for the army who needs help and when most factions see their melee range go up to 2" but we don t 😪

The masque replaces Lurid Haze. It s a shame we lost 3 subfactions in this battletome and basically only 1 sees play in competitive gaming. Restricting enhancements being sub faction specific is also terrible. Hopefully some positive changes come our way soon!
That book really feels it was written under the 2.0 directions. No 3.0 book has any subfactions specific Artefacts as far as I know. This is an old concept we saw in aos 2.0, and they pushed it even a step further by making the spell lore subfaction specific!

I'd be sorely tempted to invest in The Old World and start the Orc and Goblin horde I've always fancied... if madness like Doom Divers and Snotling Pump Wagons are coming back.
They are coming back!

Could you explain what Icon?
Icon of excess. Invader artefact gets +1 attack for all hedonite units in melee once per battle

So, I tried invaders at a local event this WE and it wasn t as bad as I thought it would be. My list was:
- Army Faction: Hedonites of Slaanesh
- Army Type: Invaders
- Grand Strategy: Control the Nexus
- Triumph: Inspired
LEADERS
Contorted Epitome (230)*
- Spells: Merciless Blizzard
Shardspeaker of Slaanesh (130)*
- Spells: Hoarfrost
Syll'Esske (200)**
- Spells: Pavane of Slaanesh
Lord of Hubris (130)**
- General
- Command Traits: Hurler of Obscenities
Keeper of Secrets (400)**
- Shining Aegis
- Artefacts of Power: Icon of Infinite Excess
- Spells: Lash of Slaanesh
BATTLELINE
Blissbarb Archers (170)**
Symbaresh Twinsouls (280)**
Blissbarb Archers (170)**
OTHER
Blissbarb Seekers (220)**
ENDLESS SPELLS & INVOCATIONS
1 x Dreadful Visage (60)
CORE BATTALIONS
*Andtorian Acolytes
**Battle Regiment
TOTAL POINTS: 1990/2000
I went 1 win 2 losses with itBiggest issue was with 3 drops I only got turn 1 choice 1 out my 3 games. The game I won
The keeper can heroic action to get the best of the best command trait and use icon for a spicy 6 blades and 4 claw attacks once per game.
The list can chew through high armor thanks to all the minus save it can stack ( up to -4 )
Twinsouls back on 3 attacks each with icon can do some real pain for a strong euphoric killing
Lash of Slaanesh spell is really good.I put a unit of 10 protectors on one attack and then used the lord of hubris you first I insist while also engage with the 10 twinsouls block. The ghb spells are still the best spell we have access to. Our army spells are generally underwhelming. Lash works well on a w8zard that wants to be in melee or close to it like a kos
Sylleske can do some serious damage thanks to the whip attack now being damage 2. He killed Ionus thanks to the keeper making him attack a second time. His warscroll spell is good but 7 to cast without buff is not reliable but its one of our few spell that didn t get gutted to 12in range
Visage is a great spell because our units are so fragile in comparison to other armies we really want to max out our damage before the hit back. And 26in range!!
Gw finally removed the dumb faq where we still had to roll a 4+ to get a cp after one of our invader general died so it s now 2+ to get a cp once any of the heroes die potentially twice on a 2+ with their battle trait (shame we can t chain heroic action more than 2 heroes per the faq)
When I was forced to go first, I was still famined for depravity but thats a problem with the army mechanic not the factions.
The masque would alleviate that but I dont know where to get the points for her in this list
My opponents will always refuse temptation dice and take the mortal wounds they would promtly be able to heal back up via all the resurgence abilities in the game
Game 1 I won had 40+ depravity vs Big waagh
Game 2 lost had 20 depravity vs SCE. Was a close game
Game 3 lost had 10 depravity vs Nighthaunt where all my save debuffs was useless. Not a good matchup
While I took a grand strat that would allow me to summon , i found it s not necessary. If i have the depravity to summon, I m already winning anyway

Interesting. I know that people post here screenshots of that spreadsheet in Euro, so there's definitely some inconsistency there. Still, gives people some idea.
Do we know if the trade price include vat? The RRP does but I would think the trade price does not?

Nope, no prices publicly shared for the US

I'd somehow comprehensively missed noticing the update to the coherency rules. That's gotta be a good thing for the lovely Fiends. Going to have to paint up my other three now!
And Slaanesh does love His sixes...
Yes, and they got a point decrease too 360 for 6 aint too bad

I didn t play them but had 2 friends play fiends at a 2 day event this we and they thought they outperformed slickblades after switching

Its a shame they cant use their charge buff on other units, they would make an amazing little backfield unit that just throws other units up the board to do the work for them (fitting for the lazy daemon), would also super charge sigvald
It s the Slaanesh curse

They are in the app. Interesting mechanic with the Indulgencr points, but not sure for 170p. One of the this demons is a mage, but not a hero, so he can be targeted with range attacks and with only a 5+ save and 3 wounds each, it doesn't seems survival enough to do anything.
It s terrible. A mechanic that puts a 9w 5+ save in harms way to get a cp for the unit or +1 to cast a spell to improve your charge and can only be cast on the warband? What a waste!
At 170pt they really make Slaangors look good at 50pts less if I was to compare them with something from the faction

That underworld warscroll is so bad! Beautiful models with terrible rules. What else is new?
9wounds on a 5+ save. No hero

Has anyone had any joy with Dexcessa? At all? Its a gorgeous model, but I'm yet to field it. I can't imagine how to get it into combat before being shot to shreds. I'm vaguely tempted to try including it in an army with Sigvald... he typically draws so much fire that maybe Dexcessa will make it to where I want it before getting royally twanged. Am I dreaming?
I did enjoy it with a bigger piece like a keeper of secrets or glutos but it s really not competitive

They are a few good underworld warbands. They usually have a hero and a retinue. The Slaanesh warband may be 3 heroes that you have to take together but are independent? That would be cool!
It ll be bad if its just a unit of 3 3w models
We ll know soon I guess
$110 for the underworld starter set in the USA is too expensive for sure

The new Pegasus looks beautiful! Now why is this in plastic? Not that I’m complaining.
There were some rumors that gw had worked on new bretonnians before they decided to kill WFB. This could be why it s in plastic. It was really designed for WFB. But no matter the reason this gets me excited to play in the old world again with my Bretonnian army

Well that round of point adjustments is a big disappointments for Hedonites!Go Fiends and Slaangor I guess? Blissbarb archers I was expecting to go up again but once again increasing points on blissbarb seekers and slickblades. Epitome and masque didn t deserve these increase. At least painbringers are back down after much complaint for them going up in the last battlescroll

Now we’ve all had a few games, are people still taking The Masque?
She was the first one to go out of my list after the summer point increase. She s good but everything is too expensive in that army. It s like we re still paying a.hefty tax for summoning but I d argue we are the faction that can summon the least amongst the ones that have access to it. Hopefully we see some point decrease in the upcoming september battlescroll but I doubt it. If we do I ll look at bringing her back in

Anyone know why Sigvald is shown as sold out online?
For which country? He s available in the USA. I would n t read anything into it. Models show sold out all the time when they have no stock in their warehouse and then become available again

I've not played Slaanesh in a couple of months but I seem to have missed the nerf to Phantasmagoria that makes it way, way worse. I hate spells that require you to roll a die after you've already successfully cast the spell, and now we've only got a 66% chance of the spell we just cast doing anything? Just up the CV if you want a spell to be less reliable.
There was absolutely no reason to nerf the spell like they did. I am sorry

I don't see this particular faq?
What I want to know (and if i'm misunderstanding something here, please point it out) is if we cause a unit to reroll due to enrapturess, can that unit add primal dice? The one FAQ about ability triggers is about certain dice (doubles or a number is a 6) and not about forced rerolls.Thats the thing I want to clarify on.
It s not in the faq, it s in the realm rules for primal magic in the ghb.
"If you choose to use an ability to re-roll a casting, unbinding or dispelling roll, you cannot use primal magic dice"
Since the enrapturess ability is a re roll not chosen by the caster, he can use primal dice after the re-roll
-
I don t see enough changes for Hedonites in this battlescroll to matter what will be played. HoS win rate should drop slightly as more powerful armies have been released: Seraphon, Soulblight, OBR.
We have no good caster to play this edition that emphasize on wizards. Contorded Epitome rerolls doesn t synergize with primal dice.
The recent faq made the enrapturess a lot less appealing since opponent can use primal dice after rerolls
This means more point drops for us in the next round I hope

To flirt with actual "rules" for a moment.... I assume I am correct in interpreting that a Slaves to Darkness Sorcerer drafted into a Hedonites force with the coaltion thingy can no longer use the relevant Slaanesh spell lore?
Hell's teeth. They really are stripping away any value in using the coaltion units, arent they! I have a couple of gorgeous classic Chaos Sorcerer models that I've been routinely using in my army. I was very fond of the Judgement of Excess spell. Oh well... maybe from now on they can "count as" Shardspeakers or something.
Correct
You can still give them a universal spell and universal Artefact but that is it. We cannot even use them as conduit to summon anymore

How do you play it vs garrisoned unit? You roll only 6 dices for the Ironclad? or Ironclad + every unit inside it?
We played it 6 dice for the ironclad + 6 dice for every unit garrisoned in it. Is it not clear?

Any idea why Slaanesh is suddenly doing better at events? The point drops we got in the last battlescroll don t seem enough to justify it but maybe we only needed those extra 20-30 pts for the list to hold?
I ve been seeing more Invaders lists also at events when they were absolutely never played after the initial faq we got a year ago!
