Slaanesh has marauders to tarpit, but I'm guessing the mid to late game will rely on using lord's/heroes/SEMs as the distraction Carnifex in order to force favorable engagements. In multiplayer, unless they're incredibly cost effective, they're just going to be a worse Beastmen.

That seems to be the consensus is that you have to micro hard as hell to play Slaanesh without some form of other chaos reinforcement. At the least the campaign will allow you to recruit allied troops where you have an outpost (If Chaos can do that, I believe they can). Hell just getting some basic Chaos Warriors or something akin to Mirror Guard would help a lot.

The Dark Prince being the 'Skate Fast, Eat Ass' faction is sensible but I think if you want a decent time of it you either need to get those allied troops or just play Chaos Legion so you can bring in some heavier soldiers. As for their lack of range the only Chaos force that features good range play is Tzeentch. The rest of the chaos troops throughout all 3 games have either a few cheap harassers or a one off unit. WoC still rely either on Marauder Horse units or the hellcannon.

I'm not familiar enough with Daemon or Chaos units to know if there's any units they could add to buff up the Four's roster. I'm honestly just happy that Tzeentch isn't wholly screwed for once.

If your interested it the tabletop stuff, you can find all the rulesbooks here https://pastebin.com/qVGrgwwh

The armies looked based on 8th edition/End times stuff. I had fun theory crafting armies for tabletop, but no mates to play with. Books are a fun enough read regardless though.
 
If any faction deserved skirmishers of some kind, its the SPEED faction. Upgraded Marauder Horsemen? Marauder javelins? Could be a very interesting take on Chaos, but NOPE. Gotta go fragile ground melee units.

Yeah. I'm disappointed in Slaanesh. 3/4 of the chaos factions are full on rush rosters with very little deviation from that strategy. Slaanesh doesn't even have a Soulgrinder with ranged attacks, so I guess they're just stuck spamming furies and magic against flyers.

Looking forward to Khorne and Nurgle.

Been watching some Slaanesh multiplayer, especially on this new domination mode. Very interesting. Their units being so fast means that once re enforcements come, they can get to anywhere on the map way quicker than any other faction, meaning the opponent is going receive unseen flanking charges from re-enforcements. Can't intercept them either, they are too fast. General tactic for Slaanesh seems to be to allow the opponent to take the centre point with little resistance, let them put most of their troops there, and capture the other points, then just pick apart the opponent when they send units to capture the other points. Really fun seeing them against Khorne, where Slaanesh seems to be able to delete Khorne units pretty easily with flanking charges, just so long as they don't get bogged down in a fight. Skarbrand is a hard counter with his ability to rampage enemy units, which bogs Slaanesh down. Artillery deletes Slaanesh monsters if they hit, but are also sitting ducks asking to be picked off by fast cav.

Overall, seemed really fun and viable when played correctly.

AOS Slaanesh has skirmishers/archers, the only one out of Chaos factions, but that's AOS, not Fantasy. We can only hope they put them in.
 
I'm very sad that Ogres are under the NDA. Watching people play Kislev, Cathay and all the demons is swell but fuck all that horseshit, I only care about my Ogre boys.

DLC maybe? Most factions are absolute shit without DLC so itd make sense if another one became actually good with it. Such is the CA way.

Blissbarb Archers would be a good addition to their roster but obviously thats an AOS thing. I know people really care about that divide but there's a lot of cool AOS units I'd like to see in Total Warhammer.

Ogres vs Slaanesh Domination

Someone needs to make one of the Ogre lords into the Gunt. Or into a Nurgle champion...

Grand-Daddy Nurgle is too wholesome and loving to be involved with the Gunt.

Gunt is 200% an Ogre Lord, He is Fat, Violent..Angry and is controlled by a Giant Stomach. (I add in the extra 100% because he is fat) What we really need is an Ogre Co-op Confederation Mod with Boogie, Ralph and Chantal being 3 Ogre Warlords Forced to work together.
