Carnelian Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 had my first game with Slaanesh tonight (on TTS) v OBR took a summoning heavy list based on the new box managed to summon well - a Keeper turn 2 and 30 daemonettes turn 3 however everything pretty much bounced off the morteks rerolling saves. I had much greater expectations for the summoned Daemons! What are the best ways to buff a KOS to actually do any damage against well armoured foes? In fact how does Slaanesh deal with armour in general? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realistically, you're at the mercy of fate and they don't really perform ever. Other than that, power through saves with volume of attacks - unfortunately, rerolling saves are particularly resilient to this strategy.

In all honesty when I've been against antihalators, turtles, bastilodons etc I'll try and summon a blade bringer on exalted chariot and blend down with a few mortal wounds. Synessa is good for pinging a couple of mortal wounds! I've found blissbarb seekers to be a bit of a trap as the mw isn't massively reliable!

Sacrifice to the fane and hit on 2s rr 1s, wound on 3s rr 1s with the great blade and 2s rr 1s with the claws. This reliably do good damge to heavy armour piece 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Difficulty with OBR and a few mortals here and there is they just got healed back up by Arkhan.

You can get an extra claw attack in pretenders via an artefact Edited January 13, 2022 by azdimy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mortal wounds are also great (which we have an abundance of), and think Glutos would work well against them with a life swarm nearby to restore wounds as he casts his constant -1 hit aura. In a way, you can beat them at their own game by tanking hits and restoring wounds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucentia Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Just to confirm, a summoned wizard no longer gets to pick a spell from the lore, right? Or am I missing a by-law somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or am I missing a by-law somewhere? You get to pick a spell since the units you summon are eligible for and gain the appropriate keyword/allegiance abilities. Battle traits and enhancements both fall under allegiance abilities. Image 1 is from the Core Rulebook FAQ for AoS. Image 2 is from the core rulebook (right column, enhancements and allegiance abilities, page 35). Edited January 17, 2022 by pnkdth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docofallplagues Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Building my way up to getting an exhalted chariot and I'm wondering how difficult it might be to use the new seeker models for it since they look so much better. Would the size difference throw things off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucentia Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 The exalted seekers are significantly taller than the seekers in the chariot kit (probably by half an inch/three quarters of an inch or so in the saddle area), the tails are longer and more elaborate, and it would be tough to get 4 of them neatly side by side. It wouldn't be impossible to make a chariot with the new and improved seekers, but it would be a more involved conversion than simply swapping them for the regular chariot seekers for sure. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those exalted seekers are so nice and easy to build if you don t do the riders! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryPanda Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 (edited) I was rereading the Slaangor warscroll out of curiosity, and I noticed their “Obsessive Violence” special rule, which I initially misread that it only causes a single mortal wound on a +4 to a unit of choice. Instead, it says that you roll a dice for each model in an enemy unit of your choice within 3 inches at the end of the combat phase, and on a +4 you cause a mortal wound. If I’m interpreting it correctly, then that would mean that you’d be able to effect my cut single wound chaff/horde units in half. For example, if you have a unit of 60 Clanrats, you roll 60 dice, unless they have some sort of way to negate mortal wounds, they’d lose (on average) half the models in their unit. If this is true, because of the 3 inch range, I can essentially put these guys behind a unit of Painbringers and cause somewhat consistent mortal wound output, just for the price of 130 points. edit: nevermind, it’s per slaangor model and not per model in enemy unit; Slaangors still suck Edited January 26, 2022 by AngryPanda 1 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azdimy Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 You can t event expect depravity from those poor beasts. 9 wounds on a 5+ save they die in a single round of combat against most enemy units and as a rrsult never get to do their mortal wound rolls either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they'll generate one won't they? Even if your Slaangors die outright. They are a "beastmen" unit so always look at them being garbage and how they disappoint then be surprised if they turn that around and impress you Edited January 27, 2022 by Popisdead 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
