- SLAANESH is my favourite race in Total War and it really needs a DLC in the same vein of Thrones of Decay to complete it. Let's discuss what could be added to this awesome faction :)

Next one has to be Ogres and Slaanesh. I propose they call it "The Hungry and the Thirsty"
"the glutton and the lustful" too
next one was already leaked to be Cathay and Ogres. Khorn and Slaanesh will prob be the next one afterwards.
Tbf I AoS ogres that fall to chaos follow slaanesh mostly, because the whole hunger and gluttony topic
@@coupdegrace2767 Surprised to see Cathay again so soon. They were just in Shadows of Change
@@josephr4761 lets pretend that didnt happend it was a shity dlc
As a Khorne man, I hate Slaanesh. As a player of WH3, I want any content I can get my hands on and I don't want any race to only have 1-2 LLs.
real
Likewise.
Blood for the blood god and skulls for his throne!!
Boners for boners god! Come for the come THRONE!
As a Slaaneshi with no need for such a display of honour, I think Khorne should NEVER get a DLC AHAHAHAHA AHAHAHahahaahaaaaaaghh
We must not forget the chaos elves of the cult of Slannesh. Dechala is an elf so it would make sense for her to come accompanied by chaos elves.
So kinda like how Morathi can get and use Slanash demons in campaign? But In this case. It’s a Slanash demon faction that can get and use Dark elf units.
I think that it would be better to give Morathi more Slaanesh toys to play with (wink-wink) rather than giving Dechala some elf units.
@@yuntes2211
Why not both?
Slaanesh's army is otherwise going to be super super one-note in WH3, some 'chaos elves' units being added to the bunch to supplement Slaanesh's roster would be huge imo. Especially if there's any room for missile units to a certain extent. Slaanesh would perform super well with 'decadent Waywatchers' for instance, or corrupted Dark Elf Corsairs, or elves with crazed missile chariots running around pinging pieces of the enemy's army similar to the Marauder chariots with throwing axes. Anything decently speedy with 360 aim would allow Slaanesh to dip into the Wood Elves' flavor palette a little bit without becoming the superior roster.
Really want a new slaanesh DLC for more units to play as Sigvald, he’s one of my favorite Lords
Sigvald is the character that sold me on the Warhammer fantasy universe, and was my first campaign back in WH1. One of my favourites, I love his dialogue! 💜
Getting steeds of Slanesh into the game should be relativelly easy, just repurpose animations from those snakes Tomb Kings get.
Honestly i hope tombkings get tombserpent mounts at some point.
@@Shimatzu95that would be great
Slaan-gors being Ranged makes sense. Javelin throwers or Centigors of Slaanesh with throwing weapons would work.
I think the god touched gors should complement each other more than just ticking a box. And I don't think Khorne-Gors would be a good fit for range.
I could see Khorne-Gors maybe having like, a precursor axe they throw while charging (like the Khorne Soulgrinder) because that feels like something that should be up Khorne's alley, but it's still a big maybe.
@@Rukdug When it comes to Khorne-Gors it is either dual weapons, or throwing Axes, i bet.
what possible role would centigors throwing weapons fill that marauder horsemen of slaanesh don't already fill. they already Have AP missles. They need to do something else. also they very likely wont add them at all
I really hope if we ever get that Slaanesh DLC, Morathi might be able to leech off it somehow.
I would be super hyped about some "crossover" units between DEs and Slaanesh (Witch elves on the crazy chariots, marked DE units or DE Knights on seekers).
Morathi needs research tech and red line talents for her Daemonettes. They could be included in the same techs and talents that affect Witch Elves and Sisters of Slaughter.
Pleasure Seekers and Pleasure Knights on Steeds of Slaanesh as fast monstrous cavalry would be awesome, as well as Steeds of Slaanesh being mount options for lords and heroes, like you said
those steeds be mounting something else alright
@@rickkhemai1443The steeds will like it both ways
It's *SLAANESHI TIME!*
TRUE SLAANESHIS KNOW IT'S ALWAYS SLAANESHI TIME
Then the Slaaneshed everywhere
@@WompaStompaCynNOW WITH EXTRA EXCESS!!!!
@@6dragondaddy913 *EXTRA THICC*
i've seen some pattern about the monogod exalted heroes, the khorne variant is wielding dual axes ; the nurgle with his great weapon, the tzeentchian carrying a halberd as well. so definitely slaaneshi variant will be equiping hellscourge
I think you hit the nail on the head.
Slaanesh is, hands down, my favorite Chaos God, as well. I love Slaaneshi armies, and would LOVE some turbo fast elite knights.
Slaanesh is my fav faction (khorne is very close to). So the Masque is more like a L heore a not a lord. the free lord maybe the Norse lord who meet Archaon, Styrkaar. Dechala the main LL.
I am more about the Chimera or Basilisk than the gigant spawn. because Slaanesh needs more anti-air. so the chimera can fly and get some anti-air advatage. and the Basilisk is a big very evil poisonous reptile more Slaaneshi than the spawn IMO.
the Slaangors with javelines, is a good idea or another missile unit or flying unit for anti-air power.
New mechanics would be cool too. Slaanesh is fun to play in tota war Wharhammer 3 but maybe some tweaks would help.
id call them tormentor knights and give them a special rule called "penetrator" where they gain extra mass and retain part of their charge bonus when striking from the front, maybe "lubricated" which prevents charge reflection.
Ew
some perv depiction. it is cool and very slaaneshi. I want it too.
Peak Slaanesh.
"You'll be getting complimentary "Circumcisions" if I hear any more of that filth." ~Khorne
That dancer character sounds like she would look amazing animated
Seeing as how they couldn't give the Tzaangors beaks in order to not be AoS and 40K Tzaangors (still stupid), those Chaos and Conquest Slaangors look like they would be a good option. Especially if they have javelins. Because a lower-mid tier missile troop would be a nice kind of unit to have for both Slaanesh and would be a nice upgrade from Ungor Raiders for Beastmen so that they have a somewhat okay missile infantry unit.
Slaanesh already has a low-mid tier missile unit with javelins, Marauder horsemen. How would the Slaangors help in the slaanesh roster if the niche they would in habit is already filled with Marauder horsemen. Especially since the horsemen can run out of ammo and still be useful because they just become a light cav unit with devastating flanker and 95 speed.
@@jansteinhaus5821Because marauder horsemen are cavalry, skirmish cavalry to be precise. Bigger models, weakness against large and a circular range which suck at everything that isn't kiting big monsters away.
Slaaneshi goat men would provide a missile unit you can keep behind your main battle line and which requires far less micro
I don't care about devastating flanker, marauder horsemen lose half the models the moment they enter into combat, I prefer a ranged unit that won't run out of ammo in most fights.
@@axios4702 You could just place the marauder horsemen behind the mainline, but why are you using a mainline as Slaanesh?
The Slaangors with javelins will likely have just as poor range as the horsemen but probably cannot kite or skirmish as good, which makes them fill a similar role and less versatile than the horsemen. If they had bows, they would have better range and thereby a justification in the roster as a longer ranged support infantry compared to marauder horsemen as a skirmisher.
I know that lorewise Gors are too indexterous to use bows, but if anything could make Gors more dexterous, it would be Slaanesh.
I really hope we get that helmet with long Mohawk on the “Pleasure Knight”. Looks so cool.
I think Slaanesh vs Khorne in the one after Ogres vs Cathay isnt to far fetched. Think it would be nice 2 Chaos versus each other
That combo would make for excellent theming as well. And it would let the remaining monogod Chaos factions fill out their rosters alongside some soft-reworks maybe.
Lol I just realized that the last chaos-themed DLC we'll get after the monogod ones is probably going to be the End Times one, it would fit CA's general 'theming of DLC' scheme all too well.
@@Supercohboynah well probably get a norsca dlc because they need tons of reworking
@@jobvermuyen5382well... we should. If that ever happens is another story
@@jobvermuyen5382well... we should. If that ever happens is another story
I think Slanesh needs some skirmish units to add another play style instead of just hammer and andvil. I think they should bring armor peircing horse archers and a skirmish infantry unit that can hold its own a tiny bit. The point is to separate and weaken the enemy then defeat them in detail.
Also I think they should make the chariots more able to disrupt formations so that slanesh can have a more effective and devistating frontal charge.
Also how is slanesh going to deal with the thunderbarge?
Even if/when the Thunderbarge is nerfed/de-bugged to not be an auto-win, it would still be an auto-win against the current Slaaneshi roster.
They really need a flyer better than furies or some seriously strong ranged option.
Remember the glowup Azazel got from his ANCIENT model to what we have now.
I always like the idea of a Slaanesh, but I think only the Fabius Bile have really sold me on it. That said, I would love for them to get a DLC like this. I’d also like some corrupted elves thrown in there (maybe a chariot and some archers) because not everyone who falls to chaos is a human, but I could be happy just having Dechala.
Druchii Anointed (lord) and Devoted of Slannesh (unit)
@@brago900 Yes! I forgot those used to be units. Think if they just made Devoted of Slaanesh hybrid infantry instead of dual swords, that would be exactly what I want.
One thing I hope they do for slaanesh dlc is to go back and give their chariots some attention and give the hellflayers and other slaanesh chariot riders long whips that allow the rider to attack from the chariot. Being the only melee chariot whose rider cannot attack really makes them worse than most other comparable melee chariots especially since chariots no longer deal damage by running over something with a move order while trying maneuver through infantry.
I always felt like Slaanesh should have some of the best melee chariots in the game in the same way bretonnia is known for having some of the best cavalry in the game.
Slaanesh chariots are actually among the best chariots in the game together with bear sleds and skeleton chariots. The chariot class as a whole sucks though.
Interestingly, kislevs bearsleds actually hit almost as hard as Slaanesh chariots on a flanking attack, but deal more damage in the long run because most of their damage comes from their weapon strength, they can also defeat some light cavalry in extended combat. Skeleton chariots outdamage all of these on a charge because they have 3x the models and therefore their damage counts 3x their stats compared with the other chariots.
I was listen to a AoS short story collection a while ago and surprisingly Dechala appeared in it. She was hunting a dark elf pirate captain looking for some dark artifact to use her search for the dark Prince.
I really hope that Styrkarr will be a legendary lord for Slaanesh. It would be nice to have a character for Slaanesh that doesn't look like a weird monster. With Sigvald in the wrong race pretending to be a Chaos Undivided character, Styrkarr is the only hope for having a Chaos Lord LL for Slaanesh.
How about Whip and Rapier for the exalted hero, with high Defense and multiple debuffs, an entanglement debuff as a contact effect to entrap single entities and an AoE moral debuff because whip scary and painful. In terms of big monsters for Slaanesh; what about the Fiend of Slaanesh (not Fiends) basically big slaaneshi chaos spawn that crawls around. Or go with the archfiend, which is somewhere in the liber chaotica and looks like a combination of a keeper of secrets and a caterpillar.
Hey Nathan I think you really nailed it with this one, perfect amount of characters and units and characters that are realistic and interesting. Plus the lords could be placed anywhere (*cough* Ind/Khuresh) giving good variety. I could see them adding some variants of existing units or a different big monster (than chaos spawn) to flesh out if they wanted more units.
I like the ideas, it's a shame we can't get the AoS units in. Infernal Enrapturess and Contorted Epitome come to mind immediately as fantastic looking models that I'd love to have in game.
thank u for dropping contant conistantly and often. This is what I need
Something I’d like to se for the ogres in there next dlc is a system to upgrade maneaters the same way you can with the warriors of chaos. Like if it’s just a double lord pack instead of 3 I’d say that each faction gets 8 units a peace, 8 for Cathay (probably) and 8 for ogres, now we already know 2 units there gonna get so that’s pretty cut and dry it’s maneater variants I’d like to se since it goes with the pack and it adds customisation. For instance you start with the maneaters as we know them now and you have the option to keep them like that, or after a certain amount of kills/xp they can be turned into something different, (I say kills because it would be slightly different then the WOC) for instance you can get nippon maneaters with Shurikens, or you can get imperial man eaters who are heavily armoured and have certain ability’s, or my personal favourite one a Chorf ogre with a short distance flamethrower and heavy armour. I feel like it would be thematic and it would just be a overall cool addition not to mention I think it’s the best way to implement the whole maneater system.
About Slaangors . . I like your suggestion, but I would have it as more of a preliminary projectile . . something like the Skink Javelin Cohort but with fire while moving, and maybe 6 - 10 volleys to sustain them through multiple charges in a battle. Still primarily slanted towards decent melee stats, just with a projectile to damage models beforehand.
The masque is surely obvious LH material? Would really prefer Dechala as the LL and Styrkaar and the Masque as LHs than them shunting off the masque purely for the purposes of an FLC stub lord.
The more LL the better I’d love the masque as a FLC
Slaanesh DLC needs to go hard. At least 2 LLs
Needs to make us hard too
Knowing slaanesh its gonna imvolve elves
That for sure, especially since Storm of Chaos, who CA use a lot ofr inspiration, there the "Cult of Slaneesh" who is basicly Dark Elves mix with Chaos.
There even two unique units from this army list, Drucchi Anointed an Lord, that either could be in the main DLC or has a FLC and Devoted of Slaanesh who are essentially Wytche Elves.
Also there a much better option for Legendary hero with Gilberion, he is a character for first edition and he is a Exalted champion of Slaanesh who is an Elfs, perfec for elfe oriented DLC.
And for last I would replace the Giant Spawn ( who is not really Slaanesh looking) or horseman Marauder (to plain) whith the Chimera, one of the last big chaos monster who mutation are more align with Slaanesh.
Dechala should be accompanied by a few various Naga bodyguard units if they don’t plan to add the Naga of Khuresh the race itself. It aould be very unique to her, the same way Fimir are unique to Norsca.
I think it would be good if CA designed new unique units for Slanesh. Not much, maybe two to refresh the faction. Personally, I think artillery would be useful. For example, a chariot with a scorpion mounted on it. He approaches, firing an armor-piercing bullet with a bonus against large units, and runs away.
I would like Slanash Gors, to be a fast Spear, Javelin Hybred unit. So Anti large in melee and at range. Being fast. They can also chase down enemy cav and large targets.
I mean yeah. Would be great. Slannesh really needs some units and love, and also replenishment, just like tzeentch got.
I get that vampyre counts get there stff hopefully with neferata, tombkings with nagash and so on... but what i would like to see a upgrade for are the elven races and Thanqual!
Slaneesh is my favorite, and I realize it doesn't seem to be a fulfilled role in the tabletop, but with the introduction of the thunderbarge it feels like Slaneesh desperately needs SOME form of anti-air. Whether that's range, buffed Harpies, or a SEM flier, just please give Slaneesh SOMETHING to deal with thunderbarges.
I’m stoked for more potential Slaanesh coming up. It’s been rough for N’kari when the only thing you have to deal with Malakai’s super armored variety of quick, ranged airships is chaos furies- and even then only if you plan ahead for it.
The Dread Maw would make a better centrepiece for Slaanesh, being a giant snake in itself so it would be more thematic. And this DLC should include atleast something from the Cult of Slaanesh Dark Elf list. Plus, Masque should be the LH with Styrkaar or Nastasya Roskolnikov (pure human caster with Kislev hybrid potential and does have a model) being the FLC LL
The Dreadmaw are Khuresh now.
I sitll think they should upgrade Hellbrass to legendary lord status if they really give slaanesh an flc lord.
I hope Dechala comes at least as a FLC.
Remembering how cool these old models were and it's not just the tats but also the tats.
3:10 I wouldn't say the rot nights are the nurgle mount, they are more of a unit mount. I'd say the rot flies were nurgles mount. A unit can use them, lords can use them.
Chaos Snakemen and Anointed Druchi of Slaanesh would be really cool to see. Would also love if Dechala could start have a starting position in Khuresh to go with the whole snake theme.
Aaaaah Slaanesh, always the most under-utilised of the main Chaos pantheon.... Like seriously there's never been an Emperors Children codex etc and yes I know that's 40k, but that seems absolutely bonkers to me....
Anyway, definitely some good calls here, and well there's not exactly a lot to go on as Slaanesh never got the same treatment as the other gods so there's not exactly much they can do.
I'm not sure about the giant spawn though, doesn't exactly scream Slaanesh. If they were given creative licence (which they have been in the past with other factions) then I'd love some kind of mobile pleasure palace, you know essentially like an absolutely massive chariot. I guess that might be a bit close to the AOS character, but damn it would be so cool.
Massively agree about the Slaangor too - would love to see them as a ranged unit.
Would also be pretty cool to have Slaanesh Minotaurs, bearing in mind the old Keeper of Secrets was kind of minotaur looking.
Bear in mind that with Sigvald that Slaanesh already has an additional legendary lord compared to monogod factions, so it might make more sense for the Masque to be a legendary hero
Slaanesh actually had a giant chaos spawn once which was called a fiend of Slaanesh. It did look very different from that model though, but the fiend never actually had an official model. It does exist in an old warhammer fantasy mmo rpg as a boss.
They could add an exalted harpies unit or just regular slaanesh marked ones to fill the gap of flying units.
Seems like the next DLC is going to be ogres and cathay. Either the monkey king or another cathay dragon
Shame, a slaneesh DLC would have been cool. But I suppose we do have 3 dedicated slaneesh characters already, Nakari, Azazel and Sigvald
I think Gilberion would be a better option compared to Styrkaar, albeit a bit old. I agree on the rest, though.
Fun > Lore
They should put in whatever they want as long as its fun
Seconded
I mean, the lore's still important to a degree, but no one's arguing against CA working with GW to create and add new stuff to the WH Fantasy IP for the sake of WH3. I'm pretty sure that people would be happy to have more Slaaneshi units to play with, for example, or even a new LL, just as long as any brand-new stuff doesn't ruin the 'flavor' of the faction or cause major canonicity issues (not that GW gives a damn about that anyways, but the players care I'm sure).
Not to mention that CA and GW have already done this a couple times for the TW:WH series already. See: the playable custom Daemon Lord with a special backstory prologue, Doom Knights of Tzeentch, Tzaangor's AoS-style appearance.
@@Supercohboy yeah exactly, i would not cry if the even invent a complete new race for WH3
@@Supercohboy The GW-licensed mobile RPG "Chaos and Conquest" I believe is set in Old World/End Times... it's where the Slaangor in the video is from. There are a lot of units in there that should be inspiration for WH3 additions. The Greater Chaos Spawn looks amazing, as well as the Serpents of Slaanesh (they should be a super cheap super fast unit -- like dogs with soporific musk). The Slaangors with javelins would be soooo cool and probably the best fit for Slaanesh's roster (much needed).
I honestly think they'll steer clear of Styrkaar, because ao far they didn't use any of Archaons lieutenants. Could be another slc with Melekh, Haargroth, Styrkaar, Feytor and Vardek Crom in the future? Maybe they'll go full elfmode in the DLC and bring back Gilberion as a Hero?
These are all very great speculations that make a lot of sense should they still choose to do a Slaanesh dlc, personally though I hope if they do a LH for slaanesh that it’s one that is less connected directly to archaons story as one of his former lieutenants (even though thematically styrkarr would make a lot of sense and I don’t doubt if the dlc did happen it would most likely be him) I’d instead like to see maybe Giberion the denied lord since he’s more neutral and a mutated elf follower of slaanesh he might make a more interesting pick.
i think a cool idea for a slaanesh unit would be a unit similar to the fleshhounds of khorne, but they deal more damage and take more as well, but they also have a unique ability where as they deal damage the more gold value they do they give a buff to the entire army as long as the(lets call them sdogs) sdog is in combat(and obviously it wouldnt stack with other sdog buffs) so you would have to think about whether to go for max gold value fast and get a massive boost for a short while but quickly, or slowly build up to the same buff or weaker, i dont know if this would even be possible but i think it would be cool and give a unique playstyle that you have to play around(as long as the buff is worth it)
Seadhorses are really cool! I can't wait to have them in the game.
The giant chaos spawn model from forge world always looked more nurgle-ish to me (the decaying skin / pustules everywhere and the tri shaped spikes on the shoulder were kind of a give away) was really hoping they would have added it with the thrones of decay dlc. If they add it like that to the slaanesh roster it will look weird. I really want this thing for all mono god factions but they need to make them look unique for everyone.
Dancer lord being all about giant buffs to maybe augment slaanesh to he better in melee or something could be really fun
I would like Dolmance faction as the special Bretonnia one having some slaanesh units and relates with the machanic of pleasure. It would be the first Bretonnia DLC we may wait for.
After Vlad von Carstein and his Vampire Countess I have to admit that playing Slaanesh is one of my most played factions. I like rpg element of TW W3 and the ability of Slaanesh/N'Kari to insidiously convert erstwhile opponents into his loving slaves to Darkness is very flavoursome.
I agree the Dechala as the Legendary Lord (Lady?) for Slaanesh - and CA could just add a couple of arms to the Medusae to have the model ready to go. Given her very sub continent look (Kali) she would be perfect for Ind.
I think you have covered everything still left for Slaanesh although, given that already the Keeper of Secrets and the Slaanesh Marauders already are modelled after the Hedonites of Slaanesh from Age of Sigmar maybe Games Workshop would allow some others like Dexcessa, The Talon Of Slaanesh or Glutos Orscollion would open as Lords or heroes of Slaanesh. Contorted Epitome and the Infernal Enrapturess would also be great (?) to see.
I am honestly surprise this werent in the base game, considering Slanesh is basically the "Hit n' Run" faction, seeing as her units can do the damage but not take it. Still I wonder who will Slaneesh be up against in their DLC, seeing that the factions who have unfinished roasters are very small.
Faction: The Tormentors (chariot mass and charge bonuses, cavalry upkeep reduction)
LL: Dechala the Denied One (anti infantry)
LH: The Masque (duelist, dance stances offer different boons and debuffs)
L: Sorcerer Lord of Slaanesh
H: Exalted Hero of Slaanesh
Units:
Slaangors (javelins)
Centigors of Slaanesh (throwing axes)
Pleasureseekers (Daemonettes mounted on Serpents of Slaanesh, anti infantry cavalry)
Painseekers (Mortal Knights mounted on Serpents of Slaanesh, anti large cavalry)
Basilisk
Mounts: Steed (fast) and Serpent (HP and defence) of Slaanesh for every generic L and H (with the exception of Keeper and Princes).
I heard there was unit called "anointed Druihi" which are suppose to be Druihi warriors touched by Slaanesh, which could make them hybrid infantry with Repeater crossbow ...
Still hope they go back to 3 factions after Cathay vs Ogres.
I know most think Slaanesh vs High Elves vs Dark Elves but I think with CA already doing High vs Dark during 2 that they'd wanna do something different.
Personally I'd like the 3rd faction to be Skaven, lord option would be Thanquol although he is likely 100. If its the Skaven and Thanquol then for the hero I'd pick Kweethul Gristlegut, I know he has some strange lore but he's linked to Thanquol so it works.
High Elves I'd pick Aislinn for lord and Caradryan for hero. Slaanesh gets Dechala for lord and Natasya for hero to give Slaanesh a stronger magical hero instead off combat based.
from what ive seen. they are hinting at Arbaal the undefeated for the Khorne DLC. then again there could be potential for more khornate stuff. a DLC hero or idk FLC hero could be Scylla the Chaos spawn/ape of khorne. just seeing a massive Gorilla like beast ripping and tearing people apart is awesome, plus he would kinda have the same running animations like the rat ogres. But i am not sure what new hero khorne could get. i mean we could get some sort of supportive magic lord, like a Lord version of the cultist hero to be more of an army buffer and rideing atop a shrine to khorne as a mount like his hero counterpart. cause in Age of sigmar khorn does have that hero unit that is morel like a warrior priest of sigmar, so it could be both a new hero and lord option to have these Slaughter priests
Are you planning on doing this for Elves as well? They should be in Slaanesh DLC.
Last time I played Slaanesh the rush style gameplay was really fun. I just wish there was more unit variety. It feels like Nurgle and Tzeentch have gotten a lot more love from GW than Khorne and Slaanesh, which is a shame.
Thats going in the book
I would love to see Styrkaar as the LL or FLC lord
Other god-touched beastmen would also be cool. For example, Tzeentch has the centigors, and Khorne has diary cows for his Khorne flakes, so maybe Slaanesh could have Slaaneshi harpies.
Instead of the spawn I can see it being the basilisk, large fast and poisonous
Thematically, I don't really care for Slaanesh. I don't dislike the race but in the playstyle, I like playing with the glass cannon/fast/mobile type units and is a really engaging playstyle IMO.So I would really enjoy more DLC for them
I think the most important thing would be better vassal mechanics. These other things look cool too. I really like your legendary lord suggestions
Doom Knights were the upgrade option for Chaos Knights just like Bladesingers are the upgrade option for Wardancers.
The Chosen Knights of Slaanesh should be called Hellreavers not Pleasure Knights IMO. I would also like to see Praetorians of Slaanesh as the Slaaneshi Aspiring Champions option with sound based attacks and/or battle abilities
For The Masque, I feel like she should be a legendary hero. Since yes people have been know to follow her, her leading an army/faction doesn’t make sense. However, her just being part of the army and able to “buff” some units with her dance would make sense
Easy, Dechala the Denied starts in Kuresh. Exalted Hero of Slaanesh will be modelled after the one with the serpent body and 3? arms. "Boobsnakes" (Daemonic Steeds of Slaanesh) will make their appearance, as well as Pleasure Seekers (maybe Painseekers too - the "Pleasure Knights", they were a thing, kitbash though), the Serpent of Slaanesh and finally the Dread Maw as a centerpiece model. Slaangors are obligatory.
If I remember right, there was another snake themed slaaneshi model back in the day: A woman in bikini, one central braid on an otherwise bald head, with fangs, a snake body and a scimitar in each hand (probably 3rd or 4th). Make these light/skirmish infantry and give us a shortbow (or sling) option, done.
The Monkey King starts in the mountains north of Kuresh, Sea Lord Aislinn starts in the south (eg. Tower of the Sun) the latter brings the High Elf Sea Patrol form SoC updated with Lothern Sky Cutters.
DLC done.
EDIT: Masque as LH
Even though it looks like theres not much slanesh content left, I'd love for CA to pull as much out of their pocket as possible
I'd put The Masque as able to be a legendary lord and lead an army the same way The Changeling is, it only works due to all the followers being the right kind of crazy for their bullshit. And it does make sense that she matches Epidemius as a legendary herald with the heralds upgraded to being lords, and The Changeling is sort of a Tzeench herald and sort of more unique.
A Sleenesh dlc would be great especially if they put Sleenesh against high and dark elves and I think something like this would fit well and get it sorted
- dracula the denied one LL
- the mask of Sleenesh LH
- Styrkaar FLC LH
- pleasure seeker mount
- choas sorcerer lord of Sleenesh
- Exculted hero of Sleenesh
- Slaangores
- Sleenesh centigors
- Pleasure seekers/knights
- marauder horseman with flails
- druchi cultist with weapon variants
I just really want some reskin druchi cultist units and generic Lords/hero's I don't think it would take a lot to make, just a slight recolour and a few model changes
Thats a giant Zergling!
I hope they go back to update the individual appearances of Chaos Furies, Spawn and Forsaken as they all look the same other than their colour… cool appearance is a HUGE factor!
Slaanesh desperately needs some ranged units. It's absurd that they have less shooting than frigging Khorne.
Not for nothing, but as a fan of Slaanesh who has only really gotten into them with WH3, are there not like…idk sexier additions to the roster?
Half of your suggestions were just Humans in Shaanesh armor.
Even the big titular (pun intended) beast is just…ugly? Just some ugly demon beast? The only thing on this whole list that looks Slaaneshi demonic is the 2 of the lords.
Is that really just the best the roster has left? Literal humans in armor (that we’ve already seen) and the most in seductive beats in the setting? I know Slaanesh is more than just sex but my god, Nurgle is technically more that puss and shit but that’s literally every unit.
I also play slaanesh in all three settings and am a massive fan of the faction, and I would sell my left kidney for blissbarb archers to be added - but seeing GWs response to beaked tzaangors, I’m not going to hold my breath
Dechala!
Don´t know if someone already commented it. Knowing that they brought Aekold Hellbrass as a legendary Tzeentch hero, and he was a miniature from the time od Dechala, it would not be surprising it they bring her as a free lord, free hero or full DLC lord.
That model for the legendary hero like
That reminds me of Demon's Souls in the best way.
Centigor with throwing javelins to allow for some kitting fight forcing the enemy to follow you and getting open of flanking. Centigor and Slaanesh are more logical than centigor and Tzeentch and it mean that you can have as the beastmen more slaanesh themed armys and not just the god touched gors.
Slaanesh literally has marauder horsemen with javelins, basically the same thing if you think about it. Cnetigors are men who are also horses, who often go marauding.
I am going to be honest, we need some ranged poison options for Slaanesh would be wise and make them a bit more fun. Archers, maybe Javelins, maybe skirmish cavalry being able to shoot 360 degrees and firing while moving giving a more mongolian feel to the horseback units for harassment and applying poison.
I just want Boob snakes. but wondering how happy are you with the Mods that we have that add everything here already? what would you change on them or add to them?
I think they will have slanbulls minators
I'd like to see the Demon Prince that Dechala was given to as a unique Hero. You can have a quest for Dechala to defeat him and unlock him as a Hero under her. Likewise, he could be summonable by the others since he's also just a slaanesh demon prince.
Slaanesh really needs some monstrous infantry that is not glass cannon. Slaanbulls would fill that role perfectly. Just like Nurgle got Plague Ogres, Slaanesh could also get some Dark Elven units. Not melee (because they would've been quite redundant). Maybe Shades or some sort of range Druchii infantry.
Sounds good to me. I like Slaanesh as well.
I really hope they choose Dechala and The Masque of Slaanesh (the old Juan Diaz model, please).
That one CA dev responsible for making The Great Book of Grudges predictions come to fruit had to run to the planing department and explain why they had to change the slaangors
I would like centigora with bows. Would fit them perfectly and is at least something different
LL: Dechala the Denied One
LH: Vandred the Majestic
L: Sorcerer Lord of Slaanesh
H: Exalted Hero of Slaanesh
Pleasureseekers (Daemonettes on Serpents of Slaanesh)
Painseekers (Chaos Knights of Slaanesh on Serpents of Slaanesh)
Slaangors
Centigors of Slaanesh
Spined Chaos Beast/Basilisk
FLL: Masque of Slaanesh
Honestly even just an FLC for a new start position would be enough for me. Had enough of the frikkin' donut.
I wanna hear about a demons of choas dlc. Something that interacts with Daniel's mechanics.
I would like Slaanesh to get some nice units added in, it helped Nurgle out hugely
Doesn't the basilisk make sense for Slaanesh as the large monstrous creature?
