• Games taking place in a Realm need the Realm of Battle rules from the Core Book.
• In you want to take advantage of realm specific artefacts you'll need the Artefacts Of The Realms section from the Malign Sorcery book.
• Matched play battleplans are split across the Core Book and General's handbook 2018.
• All books should be supplemented with any updates from the FAQs.

Allegiance Abilities

Feast of Depravities

You can summon units of SLAANESH DAEMONS to the battlefield if you collect enough depravity points. Each time a friendly SLAANESH HERO inflicts a wound or mortal wound by an attack or spell (and is not negated) on an enemy model but that model is not slain by that wound you receive 1 depravity point. In addition, every time a wound or mortal wound is inflicted on a friendly SLAANESH HERO but that models is not slain by that wound (and is not negated) you receive 1 depravity point. Remember that since wounds are applied one at a time this counts for wounds inflicted by multi-wound weapons (for example if an attack with a 2 wound damage characteristic insa-kills a Liberator you recieve 1 depravity point, even though the weapon inflicts two wounds you apply them one at a time to the unit, the first wound to the liberator granting the depravity point, but not the second wound lost that kills the model). Rule of thumb, two wound models will grant you one depravity point; 3 wound models will grant 2 depravity points, etc. One wound models will grant you nothing (so you will have let your heroes get hurt to get points when facing things like Grots, Skaven and Free Peoples).

Note that when you spend these, you retain any excess depravity points. e.g. If you have 14 and you summon an Infernal Enrapturess for 12 you will have 2 left over.

Hosts of Slaanesh

You MUST select your HEDONITES army to be to be INVADERS, PRETENDERS or GODSEEKERS. Which host you belong to will affect your battalions, command traits, artefacts, etc.

Basically, Hedonites are 3 armies that share units.

Locus of Diversion

For each HEDONITES HERO in your army, at the end of the charge phase roll a D6. You get +2 if your hero is a GREATER DAEMON. On a 4+, on the subsequent combat phase you can pick an enemy unit within 6" and it will fight last. If it has a trait that allows it to attack first (e.g. Gristlegore Command Trait or Idoneth High Tide), the two effects cancel each other.

Euphoric Killers

Exploding 6s, Slaanesh edition. Unmodified attacks of 6 do 2 attacks instead of 1, and if you have 20+ models in the unit, the 6s do 3 attacks instead.
