In the grim darkness of the far future, the pure must eliminate those who are not.

Thematically the Flawless Host got caught up in inflating their own egos so much that they lost sight of everything else. In fact they're so caught up in making sure everyone knows how perfect they are that they don't even realize how corrupted they've become.

Crunchwise the Flawless Host are to everyone else what the Chaos Space Marines are to the Imperium. You effectively gain your Imperium bonus against everyone, while doubling it if you actually fight against Imperium. They're still not going to generate as many attacks as World Eaters, but then again you can have Psykers of all types and those dudes cannot.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''Renegade Trait: ''Death to the Imperfect'':''' Death to the False Emperor, but against everyone. This stacks with Death to the False Emperor, in which case you will get 2 additional attacks instead of 1. Not quite as good as the Base Emperor's Children trait, if you can't go first then you can lose more attacks than you'd gain for this trait, so if you don't want their Stratagem, Relic or WT then just go EC.
**As of the FAQ all Flawless Host units must be Slaanesh marked if they are able to do so.
*'''Warlord Trait: ''Ultimate Confidence'':''' If your warlord gains bonus attacks from their legion trait, they may make 3 bonus attacks instead of 1. Turns your warlord into a blender and a Lord Discordant into a lawnmower (Remember, the Lord Discordant triggers the extra attacks on a 5+ because of his own aura).
*'''Stratagem: ''We Cannot Fail (1 CP)'':''' pick a {{W40kKeyword|FLAWLESS HOST INFANTRY}} Unit in the fight phase. They can re-roll all their to hit rolls.
*'''Relic: ''The Flawless Cloak'':''' +1 A and add 3" to the user's aura abilities. Feel like a Word Bearer. The bonus aura isn't going to help much, especially since unlike the Voice of Lorgar trait, it wasn't FAQ'd to apply to prayers.
*'''Tactics:''' Here are some tactics that work better for the Flawless Host than any other Traitors.
**'''Swaggering Spiderbot (Disco Lord of Lawnmowing):''' Take a Lord Discordant, throw the Ultimate Confidence trait and Intoxicating Elixir relic on him, then have a prince or sorcerer nearby to cast prescience on him. You now have a 160 pt model that can kill a knight in one fight phase. You get 5 S10 -2 2dmg attacks, 5 S8 -2 D1d3 dmg attacks and a 1 S9 -4 D1d3 dmg attack all of which [[rape|proc 3 extra hit rolls on a 4+]] (4 hit rolls if your target is imperial). Have fun.
**'''Possessed Lawn Mower:''' Take a maxed sized unit of Slaanesh marked Possessed, put them inside a Daemonkin ritualists detachment, and give one of your Greater Possessed "Shepard of the True Faith". Once in melee use Vessels of the Neverborn and you will have on average 60(or 100 for a full squad that rolled 3 for base attacks, +1 for Vessles and another +1 for Hateful Assault on the charge) S7 ap-2 attacks (S8 is possible with a Herald of Slaanesh). With Flawless host this equates to an average 23 extra hits, with the WL-Trait active, this give you 12 mortal wounds for the cost of 1CP.  You should also take an Icon of Excess to proc those extra DttFE hits on  5+ and still get your DttImp hits on 6+.  Want to make them really swing?  Cast Prescience on them for a 4+ DttFE/5+ DttImp with the Icon.
**'''Shredder DP:''' Take your Prince, make sure he's got double Talons, replace the Talons with the Rapacious Talons from PA, take Ultimate Confidence WT, and give him Prescience for the psychic power.  6-10 attacks with each 5+ proccing +3 attacks(+4 VS Imperium) re-rolling 1s to-hit, at S9 wounding most things on a 3+ while re-rolling Wounds, at 2 damage each.  It's the re-rolling Wounds that really make it worth considering the demon talons over the malefic talons.
