	;'''Slaanesh'''		;'''Slaanesh'''
	;'''Dexcessa, the Talon of Slaanesh''': One of the two new named 'Newborns' from BR: Kragnos. Solid profile with 10W, 4+, and a -1 to getting hit. Her two weapons are potent; 4/2+/3+/-1/2 deals with SCE and Ogors decently well, and her talons are an additional 2/3+/3+/-2/2 - adding more volume to an already solid offense. Her abilities work well in tandem to ensure she reaches combat quickly - and stays there. She can run/charge, and once (s)he's fought for the first time, can add an additional 1 attack to each ~~model~~, every battle round. Finally, she lets nearby SLAANESH demons ignore battleshock, and can issue one command for free. Overall; horrifying in melee, and serves as a good build-around for a slaanesh-heavy force. Biggest issue with her is getting focused down in 1-2 rounds, and lack-luster durability as a whole. YMMV, but better as a hammer than an anvil - even if you need to delay the initial combat (for '''Joyous Battle Fury'''). Make sure to plop at least 1-2 units of daemonettes near her to take full advantage of her abilities.		;'''Dexcessa, the Talon of Slaanesh''': One of the two new named 'Newborns' from BR: Kragnos.

Battle Traits

	*'''First-Damned Prince''': You can re-roll hits of 1 for Be'lakor while he is within 18" of one of '''each''' lesser demon. A solid ability, but requires a bit of a list-building investment. In addition, the wording is within, as opposed to wholly within, which alleviates some of the necessary pillar-humping (though it is still rather inconvenient). However, the main benefit of this trait is in the second half. Whenever Be'lakor is inflicted a wound (mortal or otherwise), you can roll a dice. On a 4+, it gets shrugged onto a pack of lesser demons within 9". '''This''' is what we're after. Be'lakor is already a massive pain in the ass to kill - 14 wounds with an unrendable 4+ is no joke, and this makes him that much bulkier.		*'''First-Damned Prince''': You can re-roll hits of 1 for Be'lakor while he is within 18" of one of '''each''' lesser demon.

	*'''The Cursed Skies''': At the end of '''each''' battleshock phase, if Be'lakor is your general and on the battlefield, roll a dice for each lesser demon (or furies). On a 3+, you can return D3 slain models to that unit (unless they're Horrors, in which case ~~your~~ return 1). The 3+ is statistically favored, but you shouldn't ''plan'' around this seeing as your lesser demons are essentially made of tissue and shattered dreams. Overall pretty decent, but the next ability is what makes it really shine.		*'''The Cursed Skies''': At the end of '''each''' battleshock phase, if Be'lakor is your general and on the battlefield, roll a dice for each lesser demon (or furies).

	*'''Unyielding Legions''': At the end of your movement phase, you can pick one LotFP hero, and roll 3d6. On a 10+, add one unit of the lesser demons that correspond to their allegiance (Be'lakor can pick any of the 4, or furies), and set them up wholly within 12", but more than 9" away from enemies. On doubles you take 1 MW, on triples you take D3 MW (40k Chaos players are in shambles over the lack of reinforcement points needed). Nothing to write home about, but it plays well with pretty much every other allegiance ability, and serves as a nice way to set up screens where needed.		*'''Unyielding Legions''': At the end of your movement phase, you can pick one LotFP hero, and roll 3d6.

	;'''Be'Lakor, the Dark Master''': The head huncho, and the only real reason to pick this army. His stats and weapons are pretty horrifying without factoring in his abilities. 14W, unrendable 4+ save, and his 6+ FNP (as well as shrug-to-lesser-demons) makes him incredibly durable. Lord of Torment will also heal D3 for every unit that fails a battleshock within 12". His weapons are no less terrifying, packing an 8 attack 3+/3+/-2/2 Blade of Shadows. On average, this kills 4 Liberators or 10 Clanrats(!), or shreds a hefty 6 wounds off a GUO (once you factor in FNP!). His claw is a single attack at 3+/3+/-1/2, which helps with some ablative wounds, or picking off the last few wounds off a support hero. Finally, his tail is another single attack at 2+/'''1+'''/-3/2. The '''1+''' degrades down to a 5+ over time, but should still be able to polish off a few Ironguts before degrading ''too'' heavily. Overall, a solid offensive profile on a deceptively bulky body, justifying the point investment just with native stats and traits. The real powerhouse, however, is Be'lakor's signature '''The Dark Master''' ability: ''Once per battle, at the start of the enemy hero phase, you can pick 1 enemy unit on the battlefield. Until your next hero phase, at the start of each phase (including the phase in which the unit was picked), you can roll a dice for that unit. On a 3+, that unit cannot move, shoot, fight, use command abilities, chant prayers, attempt to cast spells, attempt to dispel endless spells or attempt to unbind spells in that phase.'' Wow. This can shut down ''anything'', with decent odds of success to boot. Kragnos going in for a brutal charge? Not anymore. Proper screening will help you get the most mileage out of this, stopping a rampaging unit with some of your chaff before it reaches a vital objective or support unit.		;'''Be'Lakor, the Dark Master''': The head huncho, and the only real reason to pick this army.

He's what really makes this army work, and you're better off just running S2D or Mono-God without him.

	As of writing this, there ~~haven~~ ''not'' been any 3e tournament games played with LotFP. Unfortunately, this is very unlikely to ever change. With that in mind, there's a few main routes to take this allegiance - given the absurd amount warscrolls available. You can cherry-pick the best from each god, which usually ends up as a MSU of each lesser demon, shadow daddy, and then 1k points of whatever you'd like. Skarbrand, Shalaxi, Archaon, and Rotigus are particularly good here (starting to notice a pattern?). Secondly, you could focus primarily on 1-2 gods, and build a list based around unit synergy (Nurgle and Khorne are particularly good at this; with MSU Plaguebearers + Nurgle aura support and Bloodletter bombs, respectively). Finally, you can try and overwhelm your enemy with a sea of chaff - Be'lakor, some Gaunt Summoners, and wave after wave of lesser demons (<s>just be prepared to never be invited to a game again</s>)		As of writing this, there have ''not'' been any 3e tournament games played with LotFP.

Take them in clumps of 3 for the best consistency, and avoid getting tar-pit by bulky, multi-wound models.
