Chaos Slaanesh Lord

[killercroc]

Hey everybody! So I've been getting more into my chaos marines each day and decided to get some new stuff for them. Now like most people I like to play with a theme army but mine is a bit weird. I want to run a Slaanesh/Khorne army because they are both really good assault units and look pretty cool (good fluff too!).

So I've been thinking about what to take as an HQ choice and I think I figured it out want wanted to share it. Not sure on the other HQ but I figure I might do another Chaos lord, but of Khorne on a Juggernaught with a Daemon weapon. You cannot go wron with 5+2D6 S5 powerweapon attacks...

Chaos lord- Mark of Slaanesh, Daemon weapon, Plasma pistol, Daemonic steed- 180 pts.

So built like this he has 4 (5)+D6 powerweapon attacks at I6 S4 that cause instant death. A plasma pistol for the shot on the charge, and the steed makes him cavalry so he gets a 12" charge which is pretty sweet. He is also not that expensive points wise and the model I plan on using it this:



So any ideas about this?

[ZergLord]

Unless you're really into this idea and you want to make a conversion, I'd stay away from this.

Your Lord build is a very bad idea because:
-it's overpriced.
-every single steed is bad because it doesn't make the Lord more survivable enough to compensate for losing the ability to enter transports; one Missile Launcher and your Lord is dead.
-I would call all Daemon Weapons bad because I personally find the fact that you can kill yourself just by rolling 1 ludicrous, but again that's just me.
-Plasma Pistol doesn't grant you an extra attack (DW is a two handed weapon) and again there's a chance that Lord can kill himself.

To illustrate how much your Lord is overpriced, let's look at the Slaaneshi Daemon Prince. Vanilla + Mark of Slaanesh + Wings = 135 points. Better stats all around, lots of high Str attacks without the chance of doing nothing by rolling 1s, Eternal Warrior and moves as Jump Infantry. Now take a look at your Lord...

It would be better if you built something like this:
Lord with DW, MoS, Wings
You now have a not-so-expensive Lord who moves as Jump Infantry and can enter transports. That's a pretty cool trick, and there's no other army that has HQs with similar ability.

Yes indeed steeds are useless when it comes to charging across the field with bolter shells and las shots flying by, personally (and universally) if you run a lord you must at least give him wings and a rhino, but for the slaanesh theme (even though khorne hates slaanesh and all the other gods) go for two DPs with wings and lash it is such a fun ability and a bit of a troll, or even a DP and sorc with wings and lash. One last thing you said that they both have good assault units, I hope you aren't thinking noise marines are made for charging in combat when they have incredibly good shooting weapons.

stay away from lords ( other that a Korne lord with D/W in 2+ armor in a L/R with 3 or 4 mates )
and go with 2 Princes they rock so hard and they are cheap and with wings they are great
I go with 1x Slaanesh prince with lash and wings
1x magic ( cant spell the name ) prince with warptime and wings
they work so well together even now they have been nerffed

Or just chuck him on a bike with Melta Bombs. Worked for my Nurgle Lord anyway. The guy's a T6, 3+ beast with 3+D6 poisoned power weapon attacks, 12" movement and a Turbo Boost that can nab him a 3+ cover save. Give him some biker buddies with Meltaguns and let hilarity ensue! Very pricey but also very fun.

I'm assuming fun is what you primarily want anyway if you're going CSMs, right?

[killercroc]

Ahh, to bad nobody likes the steeds. To me they seem like a pretty fun idea. And I wan't going to have the Lord run around out in the open, I was going to put him in a squad and wait for the chance to burst out and slam into a unit and eat them.

But two Princes does sound good. I already have a Khorne one with wings are really I needed another one for my Daemon army, and since that prince was going into a Slaanesh army everything works out! Two Princes; One with wings and MoK, another with Wings, MoS, and Lash... very interesting.

Though a bike does seem like an interesting idea. I always though of the bike like a Daemonic steed for an undivided lord. 12" movement, Turbo-boost, and an extra toughness are all really good. Wings are good too, especially since he can go inside a rhino, or better yet a Land Raider!

@ Genevaman: All the armies I play are for fun!

Actually, I find the Tzeentch Steed pretty effective. A Tzeentch Lord on Disc with Lightning Claws is pretty poky and relatively durable too.

I believe it comes to about 6 attacks on the charge, only str4 but with re-rolls to wound ignoring armour. 4+ invul tops it off nicely. Not great, but hardly terrible.
