Plus, they’re a touch squishy if they get pinned down. Slaanesh’s basic chariot options are best kept moving through enemy infantry or archers to disrupt formations and maximise damage. Hellscourges, with their higher melee defence, are the best choice all round, since you ideally won’t be using Marauders to deal damage anyway. The standard variant specialise against infantry, while the spears get bonuses against cavalry. Much slower than the rest of your roster, so you’ll likely want to keep them advancing in ranks as the rest of your army gets into position and picks off isolated targets. Your mortal meat shield frontline, and the only real anvil Slaanesh have access to, save Spawn. Marauders of Slaanesh (Standard/Spears/Hellscourges) Again, making those flanks incredibly useful for the leadership penalties. Their Exalted variant has better stats all around, and causes extra damage to wavering or routing units with ‘Soulscent’. Their low armour means they’ll need support in a straight melee grind with other daemonic infantry, but bring two or three units in on an isolated target from different angles, and your prey will melt before the grind even gets going. Your standard Daemonic infantry choice for a Slaaneshi army, Daemonettes deal rapid army piercing damage, have the ‘Devastating Flanker’ trait, and move nearly as fast as some other army’s heavy cavalry. Daemonettes of Slaanesh (Standard/Exalted) This is especially potent for Slaanesh due to their ‘Devastating Flanker’ passive. The Cultist is Slaanesh’s mortal hero choice, able to careen around the battlefield at breakneck speeds, summoning daemons behind your foes' backline. They’re worth including to fill that Herald-shaped hole in your army if you evolved them into an Exalted Keeper of Secrets. Slaanesh’s Daemon hero choice is a slightly weaker version of the Herald, sans ‘Locus of Grace’, but with access to the same mounts and spells. This is always worth doing, unless you’re using the Herald for a very specific purpose or army build.
#WARHAMMER 2 TOTAL WAR GUIDE UPGRADE#
At rank 15, you’ll be given the option to upgrade them to an Exalted Keeper of Secrets, at a cost of half their ranks. They have the ‘Locus of Grace’ active ability, conferring an AOE ward save and physical resistance buff to themselves and nearby allies, so consider pairing with other cav for a potent combo. Any of these mounts will increase speed and survivability, although they’ll make your Herald vulnerable to anti-large units, like spearmen. Slaanesh’s standard lord choice, able to cast spells from either the lore of Slaanesh or shadows, and with the option to mount on a steed or two chariots. Pop ‘Seductive Glory’ then ‘Ballet of Blows’ to force nearby units into melee, then grind them to paste. Like all large single-entity monsters, they can be extremely vulnerable to sustained missile fire, but their speed and mass means pushing through a frontline to disrupt and eliminate ranged threats shouldn’t be an issue. These are mini N’Kari’s, effectively, with access to either the lore of shadows, or the lore of Slaanesh, which we’ll cover in more detail below. Exalted Keeper of Secrets (Slaanesh/Shadows)
Like much of the Slaanesh roster, they also have the ‘Devastating Flanker’ passive, conferring double charge bonus when attacking from the flanks or rear. Pick those engagements carefully, and save the active abilities for the tough fights against enemy lords, and N’Kari is a powerhouse. With melee defence, attack and leadership debuffs, a constant health drain on nearby units with low leadership, and regenerating health as long as they keep killing, N’kari is far more survivable than they first appear.
Slaanesh’s Legendary Lord choice, N’kari’s low armour may suggest that they avoid melee, until you take into account the number of debuffs this incredibly powerful character duelist and infantry mulcher has at their disposal. You can find out where Slaanesh ranks on our faction tier list. A glass cannon is still, you know, a cannon. They lack serious anvils to compliment their destructive hammers, but with some careful micromanagement, they can quickly become an overwhelming force on the battlefield. Chaos God of thirst, pleasure, and secret OnlyFans accounts, Slaanesh is the most mobile faction in the game.
