So I am looking at this and am kind of finding it funny that a slaneesh deamon prince could be tooled up to totally whoop almost anything in close combat vs even a khorne deamon prince.

Deamon prince with wings, 2 sets of malefic talons, intoxicating elixir, diabolic strength, and hatred incarnate gets 9 attacks at strength 10, rerolling ones, at ap-2 and 2 damage each with the ability to always go first in cc if in a pure slaneesh detachment. That's crazy good, and even if you don't get the power off it becomes 8 str 8 attacks. With a 3+/5++ save and only 8 wounds on a charecter so you can't even target him unless he is the closest.

And if you play power level that's crazy good for 8 points I think.

So the general point is

a. I wish I could customize a marine hq unit into something like that.
b. Am I missing something or misreading this?

Anyone have any thoughts on what you would do to deal with that in a game if it showed up?

You missed out on editions, 7th was the edition of unkillable Marine characters.

Lol thats what I keep hearing. :p

You can always take the loyalist deamon prince Robot girlyman if you want an insanly op marine character

And if with the EC Warlord trait he gets stronger the more he's damaged, go Emp's Children!
