with all this talk about 6thed buffing new armies and nerfing some, everyone seems to be pretty quiet about slaanesh forces. since I wont be getting the BRB for a while and the FAQ's only say so much, has slaanesh got any love from 6thed? has she/he/it got nerfed a little or has nothing changed :?

From what I've seen the Slaneesh CSM forces are largely the same. Beyond the basic adds, the slaneesh daemon weapon for the lord is looking more handy now for the instant kill effect as the T changes mean that any boosts are now included (see the fuss about nurgle, bikers and nobz for reference). But that's still of largely limited use. Sonic weapons, still largely the same but the blast effects are a little more hit and miss due to the snap fire rules. Doom sirens get a buff though.

Lash is utterly leathal now due to the target allocation rules, re-shuffle a unit to bring the characters you want to shoot or not shoot at the front then open up and kill them first as they're closest. It needs to roll to hit now as it's a psychich shooting attack though but on a sorceror it's still 2+ anyway and the target unit gets a minimum save of 6+ against the effect now.

Those are the big things that spring to mind at the moment. I'm sure someone else can provide further comment on anything I've missed.

Daemonettes are now generally considered the best offensive lesser daemons, due to rending being even more valuable now.

I cried a little when they errata'd the Slaanesh abilities to no longer be grenades. :(

Lucius the eternal is pretty awesome now, since his successful saves cause automatic ap 2 wounds.

Doom sirens can be shot when you get charged.

sounds like good news then ^^

did rending get a buff or is it just because it counts as AP2?
