A glass cannon is still, you know, a cannon.
you could find out where Slaanesh ranks on ourfaction tier list.
For now, Lets break the roster down.
Pop Seductive Glory then Ballet of Blows to force nearby units into melee, then grind them to paste.
This is always worth doing, unless youre using the Herald for a very specific purpose or army build.
This is especially potent for Slaanesh due to their Devastating Flanker passive.
Again, making those flanks incredibly useful for the leadership penalties.
The standard variant specialise against infantry, while the spears get bonuses against cavalry.
Plus, theyre a touch squishy if they get pinned down.
You might have better luck minimising their presence in your army until this is fixed.
The Exalted variants are more expensive and only have a single model, but better stats.
Hellflayers
Like the basic Seeker Chariots, the Hellflayers come in units of 4.
Hellstriders (Standard/Hellscourges)
Your mounted cavalry option for Slaanesh.
The Hellscourge variant has an extra ten melee defence.
Great at flanking, kiting, and isolating targets.
So, how do you combine it all to make them a formidable force on the battlefield?
Here are some general tips to get the most out of Slaanesh.
See a gap in a formation opening up a path to the missile units or artillery behind it?
Notice a straggler too far away from the rest of the formation for support to reach it in time?
Slaaneshs other combat edge comes from their disciple armies, which well discuss in more detail below.
Heres an overview of the ones youll want to focus on during your campaign.
The secret sauce to all this is Slaaneshi cults.
Once the cults are created, youll have a few options.
So, youve got cults all over the map.
With minor unplayable factions, this also gets you closer to forcing vassalage on them.
Altogether, this should make your job of conquering as Slaanesh much easier.
None of this should be a problem if youve stayed on top of your cult game, however.
Buff them with technologies, and youll soon find Slaanesh steamrolling large sections of the map.
That covers it for getting the most out of Slaanesh!
