If he stays at 180, he'll be insane. 😅

Mixed Tzeentch. Why I like it; Horde-melting mega spells and endless opportunities for converting personalised heroes.

@Unit1126PLL have you looked at gamemat.eu? The "Kingdom of Heaven" mat looks pretty good.

@Unit1126PLL Now that I think of it, I think I've actually never encountered a story centered on fantasy Slaanesh... My take on a cultist city though would be very clean, but garish and over-ornate. Every district would be dedicated to a different diversion with no overlap (fussy perfectionists), and dialed to a creepy, obsessive 11: Like a "Boulevard of the Beauteous" might be flanked by hundreds of slightly creepy statues and towering gilded mirrors, while fancy buildings might be in the fairy-tale castle style of Germany but insanely proportioned. I can see there being feasting halls too, like massive gaily-decorated beer gardens with disgustingly corpulent, but elegantly dressed and fastidiously clean diners... You could really theme any terrain for Slaanesh I think, it just needs to be made uncomfortably extra. 😅

Ouch... That's some serious min/maxing! 😅 I went to a tournament in the weekend with what I was hoping was a toolkit list; Keeper with allure and thermal-rider's cloak, entaptress, 30 'nettes, 2x5 seekers, and 5 hellstriders. We didn't do too badly, placing 7th overall. My teammate and I are both still new to our armies and played against a lot of armies we hadn't even seen on a table before, which lead to some very one-sided games with players who politely handed us our butts. 🤣 Otherwise I'm really loving Slaanesh's recursion! I lose half my army by turn 2, but have half of those losses back by turn 3.

@exliontamer yeah absolutely, although you'd need to take the exalted seeker? as your general to unlock, so 320 minimum at 1k. Efficiency-wise it might be better to take Hellstriders at that point, so I think if you were putting chariots in, you'd probably be going all in... I wonder what an army of nothing but exalted, hellflayer, and seeker chariots would play like... I feel like they'd just get stuck in terrain. 😓
-
One of the other members posted a Seeker chariot list about 20 pages back, did well with it I think? Chariots are such a weird unit... I can't think of an edition where they were actually really good, except with the occasional corner case like the exalted seeker, or the Tzeentch ones currently.

I haven't seen a lot of armies that win by not spamming their best option, unless we're talking casual games? Besides, while daemonettes are now good they'll still only put out half as many attacks as a fully buffed witch elf unit. The difference is that witch elves need buff heroes to get that obnoxious, whereas daemonettes get there alone. Granted, they have better resilience with a hero close by, but that's not where their killing power comes from. Bloodletters were the same as witch elves, and sequitors are spammed for the same reason. Basically pick any army that is doing well right now and you'll see one workhorse being spammed to secure those wins, be it a unit or allegiance ability, etc. That doesn't mean that's the direction Slaanesh is going though; just with the wrath & rapture box the army was given an alternative to hellstrider spam, seeker spam, chariot spam, or daemonette spam in the form of magic denial and fiend spam. 🤣

Damn, that's worse than I thought it was! I either didn't want to see the hero keyword or it's changed on me at some point, but on rereading it, it's still slightly better than how you've remembered it; It's not just combat-phase, but any phase. 😉 Still, I can't think of a use for it anymore now that I know the -1 to hit doesn't apply to non-hero units... So much for my anvil strategy. ☹ But hey, it frees up 160pts from my list building. Bright-sides...
-
Was he trying to do Gore Pilgrims?... Did he use battalions? Because that only looks like roughly 1.5k worth of units, with no significant punch.🤔 Edit; what I mean is, he's playing a very low power list... I feel pretty confident I could give him a fair match with my S2D dogs & horses list. Maybe if you didn't use any allegiance abilities, traits, or artifacts? 😅
-
Hmm, the flame isn't quite the same... I could've sworn I'd seen a unit of these guys. Oh well, cheers for finding that picture though!

Top row, third from the left is a flamethrower (edit; I can't find the kit now, but it was previewed a few weeks ago...).
-
Ouch... Can we even kill Morathi?! I haven't played DoK yet, but "kill any hag queen you see" is the general consensus. 😅 Which coven spams MW?
-
Edit; my bad, I completely misread that warscroll. 😓
-
It may just be due to the way I've been playing and what I've been playing against, but I now have a grudging respect for Seekers; they're not flashy, but they've proven themselves almost as killy as a 10 of Daemonettes, and are way, way faster! My one brief use of the Enrapturess made me hopeful for her too, but I summoned her in rather than having her in my starting lineup. I'm not sure which is more efficient... I might have to sit down for funsies tonight with points and DP costs, and math out which units are more efficient to deploy or summon. 🤔
