<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Pure Slaanesh = bad for Daemon?"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/93.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Pure Slaanesh = bad for Daemon? WHFB and my SoC Slaanesh Daemon army 2 years ago they were somewhat different from what they are now. I've read alot of the posts about Daemon armys and find people consider them cheese, but Slaanesh seems pretty far away from the spotlight. Here then comes my question; is Slaanesh considered uncompetitive to the other Chaos Gods or just less spoken of? Where would a list like this one rank? Kind of what I'm hoping for is that it would be balanced just bad for Daemon if you skipped the anvil, hounds, thirster and flamers.

The trick you're missing to make it more effective is an actual Keeper of Secrets w/ Siren Song.

Past that and the characters, that's what the army uses to make it work. All the other stuff works "OK" as Slaanesh, but you're always better off with Horrors/Hounds instead of Demonetts/Seekers.

I can see what you mean with the Keeper. As for the rest I will think over how too tweak and replace to make the list less reliant on a cheesy character combo. Would it still be viable if I removed the LD bomb alltogether then threw in the KoS + horros/hounds instead of the daemonettes/seekers?

On the other hand, since I currently own zero models anyway but feel like getting back in the game with something mobile (not being all ItP could make things more interesing too). Is there any other army that can make an interesting MSU-like list without being all dependant on cavalry?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/238818/699202.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/238818/699202.page GMT Re:Pure Slaanesh = bad for Daemon?

Things people complain about as broken are that way for a reason.

LD Bomb is a hard ass army. Therion just did an excellent tournament report on using a LD Bomb w/ Horrors+Hounds+Flamers that you can look at here: Link

Keep in mind it's one of the most broken armies in the game and won't win friends unless they also like playing against hard ass armies.

Then your answer here would be Dark Elves. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/238818/699271.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/238818/699271.page GMT Re:Pure Slaanesh = bad for Daemon? LD combos are great but the keeper is def. a better pick over 2000 pts to help them work. seekers kick so much butt its scary, if you go second ull have cc on ur first turn most of the time. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/238818/699378.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/238818/699378.page GMT Pure Slaanesh = bad for Daemon?
I'm thinking about going beasts (something I wanted before I took a break) OK, or maybe some elf type of list. Either way thanks for the replies and good info.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/238818/706240.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/238818/706240.page GMT Re:Pure Slaanesh = bad for Daemon? DE can be over powered in some configurations.

As for the pure slannesh: If you stick only to slaanesh units, you won't be over the top. Even with the leadership bomb. Daemonettes fight with nerfbats. Fiends are just better ogres. Seekers are great, but no official models in print. (and the old ones are terrible). Lore of slannesh is potentially the best one, but you can only get level 1 heralds, and the kipper is super expensive with anything above level 1.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/238818/709750.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/238818/709750.page GMT Pure Slaanesh = bad for Daemon? atm anyway.

About this thing with the beasts losing most of their units. Does this mean they cannot take the old type daemons/mortals since they're no longer valid and can't take the new ones since there are no such rules? I had kinda hoped they could still take the old ones. Anyway, if that is not the case, do you know if there's a rewrite coming up within perhaps a couple of months?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/238818/741156.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/238818/741156.page GMT
