This is the general tactics page on how to play Slaanesh in Total War: WARHAMMER. As the game isn't out yet and we know very little about how the faction will work, this page won't be filled out for a long time. However, we can make some early guesses based on the table top and the trailer.

Why Play Slaanesh?

  • You prefer Speed and using your mobility to outmaneuver and tear apart your enemy as opposed to the simple rip and tear.
  • Because you're a sexual deviant and this is the best way to show your horniness without going out in public.
  • Because fuck armor, you just want to rip it to shreds!

Pros

  • Speed: You will likely be one of the fastest armies in the entire game. You will most certainly be up there with Wood Elves and Beastmen with how fast you can get around the battlefield.
  • AP: Heavy armour shouldn't be a problem for you in the slightest. Factions that rely on armour like Dwarfs and Warriors of Chaos will dread when you come on to the battlefield.

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)
  • DLC: Sorry but trends are trends and some of your better units may be reserved for Lord Packs.

Lords

Legendary Lords

  • N'Kari: Considering he makes a cameo visit in TWW2 there is a high chance that he is the 1st Legendary Lord for Slaanesh

Generic Lords

  • Keeper of Secrets: If the trailer is anything to go by these things are going to be in at launch. Expect a fast AP monster with the Lores of Slaanesh and Shadows that will be able to get around the battlefield very quickly. It's going to be way faster than a Bloodthirster but also much frailer, so it may be much more reliant on cycle charging and using it's mobility as opposed to the grinding style of the Bloodthirster.


Heroes

Legendary Heroes

Generic Heroes

  • Herald of Slaanesh: There was recently a leak showing that a voice actress actually played this unit for the game, so safe to assume it's coming. It will likely be a hybrid hero with the Lore of Slaanesh and/or Shadow magic along with AP in melee. Think a Loremaster for the High Elves only faster and frailer. Will likely also have some support abilities for nearby Daemons.
