===Cons=== *'''Fragile''': The downside of having an army of half naked monster girls/boys/things? There isn't a ton of armour to go around. Expect to be taking a punishing on the way in (Not that Slaanesh has an issue with that) if you aren't using ward saves. Which you should since Slaanesh units have some bound ward save abilities which are generally far more impactful than armor. The problem is fixed a bit with CoC giving you armored units, though most of your army will still be pretty squishy. *'''Lack of Ranged''': You can't hump your opponent to death from the other side of the map. You have one ranged unit in the form of Marauder Horsemen. Seriously, even freaking KHORNE has more than that. You have no chance at playing defense. *'''Lack of Fliers''': When Furies are the best flying unit you have, it's safe to say you aren't a faction that is designed around dogfighting and controlling the skies. You are easily the weakest Monogod faction when it comes to the air. you do have Demon princes now, and Azazel in multiplayer but this does not make an air force. *'''Monster fighting''': The only way for you to fight big, ugly, single entity monsters is to bring big, ugly single entity monsters of your own. Against factions like Skaven and Vampire Coast, your soul grinders/keeper of secrets will be forced to hide in a treeline not contributing to the battle until your opponent's missile units are completely tied up. *'''No Flexibility''': The other monogods are one dimensional too but you have it the worst. Everyone fighting you knows you're going to bring a fast glass cannon army. Like your other chaos monogod siblings, you do one thing well and can't do much else. Somewhat ironic that the factions closest to chaos are the most predictable opponents. *'''Autoresolve hates you''': Get ready to fight a lot of really one sided fights because Autoresolve thinks your Exalted Daemonette stack will get decimated by that one ten unit stack of Kossars. *'''Fast Games''': Because of their fragility and need to be maneuvered correctly to win, expect Slaanesh games to be quick, regardless of who wins. Slaanesh will either completely slaughter the enemy or run into a brick wall and crumple to dust. If you like long, tense game where the winner can be decided at any moment you won't get that from Slaanesh too much. *'''Bad Replenishment''': You would think the guys who have orgies every day and have limitless daemons from hell on their team wouldn't have issues replenishing their numbers. You would evidently be wrong, have fun watching your army sit in a city for 4 turns to heal back casualties. *'''DLC''': Sorry but trends are trends and some of your better units are for Lord Packs. If you want respectable armor or 1 ranged unit, you better fork up for the Champions of Chaos. From a launch standpoint you got Tzeentch and Nurgle beat, but you could use some more mortals/boob snakes. *'''Not beginner-friendly''': a bit of an odd one sure, but it has to be said, Slaanesh is not a faction for beginners with no range units, no somewhat tanky monsters and all of your units being made of used condoms where even a cheap unit of archers can kill your lord in milliseconds, Slaanesh heavily punishes you for one mistake and one has to sell their soul and become the dark lord of micromanagement if you want to win consistently as Slaanesh, ''especially'' in multiplayer.
