Is there any way to justify (fluff wise) having Skarbrand teaming up with a few slaneesh units?


Demons trade or loan or even wager vassals all the time.

..s o.. Skarbrand betas up someone, in return he lends/donates/sells him the Slaanesh units. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527232/5620738.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527232/5620738.page GMT Khorne and Slaneesh

Except Skarbrand is one of the few daemons that is literally mindless. All he feels is rage, all he feels is hate, he is a barely coherant mess of rage, hate, and spite, to the point where anything NEAR him becomes a festering pile of HATE and RAGE. Bloodthirsters usually are full of bloodlust typically, but they are coherant, Skarbrand is on another league when it comes to it.

I think the biggest thing is that he wouldn't care if its Slaanesh, all he see's is the enemy, slaanesh units are there somehow, but then they are close enough, all they can feel is the rage overpowering them, and soon they follow him towards what dies next. That which must burn for his rage. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527232/5620937.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527232/5620937.page GMT Khorne and Slaneesh http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527232/5620969.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527232/5620969.page GMT Khorne and Slaneesh He doesn't kill the worthy, just butchers them until the head is left.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527232/5620985.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527232/5620985.page GMT Khorne and Slaneesh

How about from the Slaneesh side, would they be willing to fight beside him?


Would they be able to once afflicted by his bloodlust? I think maybe the Heralds and KoS would be able to resist, but I doubt they'd willingly try to, there's a reason why "Hate" was reintroduced against each side. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527232/5620988.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527232/5620988.page GMT Khorne and Slaneesh
The slaanesh demons could try to summon a kos and skarbrand finds the portal and tries to kill everything?

Or Skarbrand was trying to kill the slaanesh units and he chases/they lead him to where he can do the most damage

In fluff, they wouldn't sit round and play cards or anything - but temporary alliances do happen.

Skarbrand, as a being of mindless RAGE, may care less about slaanesh than a normal 'Thirster as he's mindless.

At the end of this - it's more fluffy than GK and Necrons as all your units would at least be from the same book

My demon army (grew from csm allies) has a Kos, a 'Thirster, a unit of demonettes and a unit of bloodletters and a demon prince.

I like the idea that they are in permanent competition with each other as each tries to outdo the other to prove which god is best. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527232/5620993.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527232/5620993.page GMT Khorne and Slaneesh
Alternatively, they could simply be two bands of daemons who have decided to kill their common foe before they lay into each other.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527232/5621057.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527232/5621057.page GMT Khorne and Slaneesh
I had the proto-theme of a particularly cunning Keeper of Secrets that was essentially luring Skarbrand to planets and then having his/her Daemons follow in his wake reaping all the souls they could. The irony being that Slaanesh would be making good use of a Daemon Khorne essentially cast aside.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527232/5622239.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527232/5622239.page GMT Khorne and Slaneesh Subject to Hatred rules of Daemon armies. Should have kept that Mechanic, and then they could have tooled around with various Marks permitting different things, such as overcoming the Subject to Hatred rules affecting the diametrically-opposed sides of Chaos by taking a Mark of Chaos Undivided (not the same one Abby gets) on an IC or HQ that would permit multi-godding between gods that normally hate each other.

Or perhaps a self-contained allies matrix for the various factions of Chaos.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527232/5622346.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527232/5622346.page GMT
