- Omens of Destruction and Thrones of Decay have been great for Chaos as a whole. The next DLC is VERY MUCH likely to be Slaanesh against other factions so let's see what I personally hope for after we've had 2 DLCs in this format.

Wishlisting here yes but Omens is out CA will likely start planning the next DLC soon and I rather Slaanesh not get shafted in TW like GW did to them in Fantasy so giving out ideas lol
Have a good one folks I'm recovered after all the embargoes so I'm back :)
Good to hear that you get better.
Has for your list, I don't see why you insist so much they are going to go for Elves theming ? CA has already shown they are pretty superficial regarded to the rivalry theming and more importantly, none of the Elven faction have new units to give, they are all down, and I don't think GW would allow CA to create 10 brands new units just for theming sake.
Also for Stylkar, it would be a waste to be added in this DLC, he should be part of a dlc with the Archaon champions, especially when Gilberion would be a better candidate.
Additionally, alongside the Slaanesh Sorcerer lord, CA should add the Anointed of Slaanesh, it would be great for a theming army of Chaos Elves, has for the centerpiece, just the 8008 Snake would be adequate.

Oh Slaanesh will get shafted alright. 😉
@@marvinvasquez9437 Yes I know the relation between Slaanesh and the elves.
That doesn't change the fact that neither the Highs elves and Darks Elves have units left that could justify an DLC, all their roster are complte.
@@MrSafior Well, C.A will have to get creative then, look what they implemented with the Blood Vultures that was not being mentioned in the Ogre Kingdoms Army Book Roster
I too really hope it’s the elves! Teclis is really confused as to how Gelt learned those Cataclysm spells!
Even Dark elves. They have decent campaign mechanics in general but some of the lords specific campaign experiences are lacking in I.E. For instance, there is a huge difference in fun and general campaign experience between Lokhir and Rakarth or Hellebron. Some campaigns just get left behind and most of the touch ups in ToD and OoD have been a great addition to I.E.
@@strangestecho5088 😂 😭😭😭
You can just imagine Teclis, Mazdamundi, and Kairos sitting down over tomes of forgotten lore trying to work out how a human has mastered spells they can’t! 😂
There's a mod for that... 😂
I want yellow elves
NO ELFS!!!! CATHAY NEEEDS ANOTHER DRAGON!!!! ELFS HAVE ENOUGH ALREADY SO THEY CAN GO F THEMSELVES!!!!
Give Morathi an evetn where she needs to decide if she will align herself with her son, Malekith and the Dark Elves, or embrace Chaos and fight for Slaneesh. The campaign needs to be more story driven to enhance replayability.
While I like the idea...
From what I know of the lore, Morathi is not really into chaos, it's more of a case of, she is just amazing at doing deals with them and ripping them off while doing so? (as in, not losing anything and while getting the most out of it. And if there is a price, she makes damn sure someone else ends up having to pay it)
Doubt she would ever "commit" to chaos
@@Garret007 Not sure I agree with that, many would say she openly served Slaanesh at some point. Also just look at her in Age of Sigmar. Either way, there is no way to be 100% sure where her real allegiance stands at one point in time, so it makes sense to leave that decision to the player.
@@StandstillUA-camin AoS she is part of the forced of order and quite openly fights against chaos. It's just that she also reeeeally want to be a God
@@StandstillUA-cam Morathi's whole grand scheme was to use the powers of chaos to get all the Elven souls back from Slaanesh. She ascends to godhood during the end times, but her goal is still the same.
It's quite exciting honestly, to see what will happen next, I hope it will be Slaanesh and elves... the elves need a touch up.
Yes please! Give me more disgusting elves to slaughter!
Alternatively I could see CA doing Slaanesh + Monkey King + Beastmen. But yeah the Elgi could use some new toys as well.
Hoping for an usefull artillery unit
@@MaledictGamingCathay already had their dlc. If anything monkey king should be freeLC.
hate to say it but Norsca needs the most love after everything they have gotten absolutely shat on hell Tarriff sums them up quite nicely
My wishlist: Any DLC, just not in 8 months :)
If you want the same quality, then yes, 8 moths.
@@jilopez8179 but its genuinely mind boggling how this takes them so long...
The team is smaler then before
@@jilopez8179The slaanesh dlc was closest to launch after SOC but was delayed in order to fix SoC and release ToD and OoD.
@@jilopez8179 A lot of shake up has happened at CA with layoffs and office merging, idk if we can really claim that quality is the only reason behind the 8 months. Although obviously yes, quality should be the priority.
Yeah, the other Slaanesh starts are gonna be "Reverse Cowgirl" and "a Rusty Venture".
Dilemma prompt appears where you have to decide what a rusty venture is
@@cinnamonflavordthey're going to bring back the Rome 2 senate to show the divisions caused by "the rusty venture" question.
Now THATS a Rusty Venture.
" A Saratosa Goodbye. "
Slanesh is my favorite chaos god. With how good the last two dlc have been im excited. Hopefully azazel gets something good too, and most importantly sigvald
Sigvald yes!!!
I need Sigvald’s in game portrait to get smoothed out. He’s supposed to be handsome.
Sigvald needs to be straight up changed into a Slaanesh faction LL and given new mechanics. He's Slaanesh's chosen but he's somehow been shoehorned into Chaos Undivided lol. CA are so cringe.
@@Tragic_Arrogance its caused they introduced him in the first game thats why azezal isnt a daemon of slaanesh cause they already had sigvald
@@sebastiangibson9671 That only makes them look worse. Shoehorning him into Chaos Undivided for the first two games, when you had no dedicated monogod factions, was ok. However, they should have immediately moved him over to Slaanesh in Warhammer 3. It's inexcusable that he's still in Chaos Undivided and Slaanesh only has a single Legendary Lord 3 years into the game's lifespan.
Some lore bits on Dechala, it was a demon prince she got married too and she did not free herself she just ran away from her husband, she's "the denied one" because as long as she remain's Samael wife Slaanesh will not ascend her, that was the promise made to Samael by slaanesh.
with a big vassal rework. imagine if one of the slaanesh lords has a starter enemy that is a new legendary lord like a red duke that you vassalize at the start. kind of a co-op campaign with the ai. would certainly be different
This would be so dope
It needs to be Slaanesh, High Elves, Dark Elves.
- High Elves could be overhauled to use a Caravan system similar to Cathay, but on the sea instead, with sea-based units. *Merchant Guard, Merwyrm*, and maybe a few map updates. (Mostly islands and maybe gates of Calith).
- Dark Elves could have Malekith overhauled to have a mechanic revolving around conquering Ulthuan, and Shadowblade as the LH.
I'd rather see High Elves saved for a purely nautical themed DLC.
- High Elves being led by Prince Aislinn and the Sea Guard army list from Storm of Chaos
Then add in Cathay as the second faction, with Yin-Yin the Sea Dragon leading the army (complete with Nippon style mercenary units)
The third faction would be Vampire Coast. The faction could be led by Skretch Half-Dead and include units such as a Sea Elemental, floating Ghost Ships, Stromfels Harbinger (as a legendary hero), undead Skaven, aquatic themed mutants and Kroxigor sized Sharkmen mutants.
The idea being that the oceans in the Immortal Empires campaign are pretty barren in terms of content. CA could add in small islands or entire archipelagos to invade. Along with more roaming armies, complete with a Fleet based caravan system. Most of the fleet based battles tend to occur along the coastline, very rarely do you see a battle out in the open ocean.
Not enough content remaining for Dark Elves. Hopefully they get a quality of life update but I highly doubt they will be in this DLC.
There's a mod for that...😂
@@Aethgeir With the City Guard and the Cult of Chaos the Druchii might have enough content for a DLC and if there are any missing units CA might add an additional legendary hero to fill the gap.
Some Cult of Pleasure units could be on the Slaanesh and Dark Elves rosters simultaneously.
It wouldn't be the first time CA has invented units from scratch either.
The High Elves have to get what is missing from the army book, which except for the Anointed of Asuryan is related to the sea guard. The rest will probably come from Storm of Chaos following the theme of maritime units. The merwyrm may appear in three different versions, which is how it appeared in the Arcanum and would fit with the phoenix and dragons of the High Elves, which also come in three variants.
LL: Dechala the Denied One
LH: Vandred the Majestic
L: Sorcerer Lord of Slaanesh
H: Exalted Hero of Slaanesh
Pleasureseekers (Daemonettes on Serpents of Slaanesh)
Painseekers (Chaos Knights of Slaanesh on Serpents of Slaanesh)
Slaangors
Centigors of Slaanesh
Spined Chaos Beast/Basilisk
FLL: Masque of Slaanesh
I agree with most, but I just dont see a LL in The Masque. She is more a buffer character, I would see her as a LH. As No Way she is able to lead an army. She never did. She was a dancer for Slaanesh.
But that s my 2 cents 😅
@@davidjankraayveld7784 I saw very similar comments regarding Changeling and Epidemius too but it panned out differently. The thing is that Slaanesh is strapped for WH Fantasy specific Daemons. And Masque fits well with the pattern they've had now with Thrones and Omens. 1 Greater Daemon, 1 Herald and 1 Mortal lord for the Mono-God races.
To address the earlier comment, I hope we get to see Styrkaar.
@@Rewwgh If they add Styrkaar, they open the door to all the other lieutenants of Archaon. Vandred is an older character dating back to Dachala's own time.
@@davidjankraayveld7784 I agree, but it kind of depends on who the the other factions are. If Cathay is in this one, I could see them get the FLC Lord instead of Slaanesh.
@@Aethgeir I think Styrkaar might be a better fit for another more End Times-y, Undivided-adjacent DLC indeed. With the rest of Archie's lieutenants. I saw people mentioning Gilberion who is also a Slaaneshi HE champion, he could be an interesting addition for Dechala.
Order/Corruption rework is a must for the last Monogod Dlc such as Slaneesh. It would suit it so well especially if it would come with Monkey King who is all about disorder.
Slaneesh vs High ELves vs Monkey king in opened up Ind area would be worth the wait for sure!
NO ELFS!!!! CATHAY NEEEDS ANOTHER DRAGON!!!! ELFS HAVE ENOUGH ALREADY SO THEY CAN GO F THEMSELVES!!!!
Personally i hope its Slaanesh, Vampire counts and Norsca. Norsca and Vampire counts needs a update and content much more than High elves. Although dark elves and high elves would fit a slaanesh narrative/theme better.
Well said. What kind of new units would you like to see from these factions too?
I agree with you but i have a feeling that theme is more inportant because thats also the reason why the greenskins got included even tho they were fine
I would kill for Norsca to get an overhaul, i miss using them and not get the crap beat out or ganged on
@@djevanoasikan2778Omens of Destruction has basically zero theming so I don’t think that would matter that much to CA
@pyrrhus6264 i dont agree ogres, khorne and greenskins are all about war and destruction so thats definitely a theme.
I can see CA doing a race pack next mainly it being the dogs of war but if we dont then after the Slaanesh dlc we need a new race to play around with because after that we would have gotten like 12 lords introduced after the release of a new race which the last one was the Chaos Dwarfs
Now to wait a full year for the next dlc. It'll be a great Slaaneshmas 2025.
It was supposed to come before the Khorne DLC, so hopefully they already deep in development and we get it for Valentines day.
@@DarkCreed Aye, but that was before the SoC debacle so they probably had to do a fair bit of reworking to get it to a state that wouldn't cause a riot.
Arbaal could be moved in Ind or Khuresh, with Dechala nearby. But how would she have a mechanic anti-elf in Ind/Khuresh, when they're so little elf factions next to her?
As for the centerpiece, why not the chimera? A big flying monster with 3 heads!
Which is why i believe they will expand a bit of Ind and Khuresh to put Aisilin and MK there as well.
Well, hopefully this DLC sells well. Last I checked, it was sitting at a mixed rating, which is not ideal.
I think the vassal system should allow you outright control of vassals in buildings and economy and recruiting if you have a slaneesh hero in the vassal army. That makes vassals become worth while and even allows direct control of their armies at a small cost of one hero.
I was thinking the same thing for vamoures if they introduced Neferrata. Could be a great thing for them to introduce puppet characters. Like chaos/vampire empire generals that become the faction head if you start a coup in a faction/province
I really, really hope that these are the next three factions. I've literally never played as High Elves, but having another helf LL to add to my defeat trait collection for Malekith is always nice!
Based af
NO ELFS!!!! CATHAY NEEEDS ANOTHER DRAGON!!!! ELFS HAVE ENOUGH ALREADY SO THEY CAN GO F THEMSELVES!!!!
2025 is certainly looking to be quite the year for the followers of sex, drugs and rock and roll between a TWW DLC for slannesh and Emperors children coming out for 40k’s 10th edition.
Dreadmaw could work well with a targeted underground attack, making it explode from the ground in the middle of enemy formations. This would disrupt them and open them up to some devasting charges.
LL: Dechala the Denied One
LH: Styrkaar
L: Sorcerer Lord of Slaanesh
H: Exalted Hero of Slaanesh
Pleasureseeker Knights
Painseeker Knights (bulkier heals in combat)
Slaangors (Javelins)
Druchii Anointed
Dreadmaw
- Slannesh
- High Elves
- Norsca
Location = Kuresh
Considering how long Slaanesh has been on the sidelines, they deserve to be treated right. I hope it's Slaanesh vs HE vs DE.
This combo makes more sense than to throw in a random faction that doesn't even fit the narrative.
NO ELFS!!!! CATHAY NEEEDS ANOTHER DRAGON!!!! ELFS HAVE ENOUGH ALREADY SO THEY CAN GO F THEMSELVES!!!!
I know dark elves, high elves and Slannesh is the obviously good idea for a dlc, but to change it up my personal gigacopium is Slannesh, Norsca and Vampires.
Vampires would be Neferata as LL along the rework.
Norsca would have Mona Minn and the LONG LONG awaited rework.
And Slannesh would have Masque as dlc and Dechalla as FLC, rathee than a full rework they would have something like what Khorne got, and instead it would focus more on a vassal system rework.
I can imagine this dlc calles something like "courts of madness" or whatever.
The end times will have nagash. I think that they may do some funky stuff like Nagash can be a lord for all undead and confederate all undead in a giga faction since that is what he did in lore. I'd guess that's when the reword happens. End times also fits well with a norsca rework.
I feel like vamps + other undead should get a pass in a stand alone Nagash DLC once all the chaos gods get their turn. Still hoping that this one is Slaanesh, Dark Elves and Norsca, though.
Sounds cool and Vamps definitely could do with some updates, but I'm sort of hoping for a Nagash-themed DLC just prior to an End Times DLC. Would be Vampires, Vampirates and Arkhan/Tomb Kings, with Neferata added as a LL.
Vampires truly need a WoC style DLC unto their own. So I sincerely hope we don't get Neferata like this.
@@peytonbrown5394I think they will give us Konrad
Right now I just want 100% confirmation that Slaanesh is the NEXT DLC! I don't care about Dogs of War right now. I don't care about Nagash right now either. First I hear that the Slaanesh dlc was canceled in favor of a cathay vs cathay one, then Slaanesh gets pushed back in favor of Khorne. So all I want to hear is that my favorite faction is getting their turn in the spotlight.
Those cathay dlcs were fake leaks. CA did rethinked their dlc release plan, but they have never confirmed that the next dlc after TOD will be slaanesh or not until they addresed the concerns caused by previously mentioned leaks. Still, they said they're going through every daemon faction.
I bet GW asked CA to push back the Slaanesh DLC to more closely align with the release of the Emperors Children codex/ model range next year for 40k and the additional interest and hype that will generate for Slaanesh in the wider warhammer/40k customer base as a whole.
Dark Elves and Slaanesh would make sense, because Morathi could benefit from any changes and Reworks for both factions, too. Aside from all three being quite connected in Lore anyway~
Morathi having nothing but corruption and demonettes is disappointing
VC+Norsca are more needed
NO ELFS!!!! CATHAY NEEEDS ANOTHER DRAGON!!!! ELFS HAVE ENOUGH ALREADY SO THEY CAN GO F THEMSELVES!!!!
Slaanesh and elves.
No other combination is not more perfect than this.
Hoping for Korhil and Caradryan to get in...and so that Alastar can have Korhil in the White Lion doomstack.
Elves have six LLs each while Norsca only has 2 lords since WH1 and VC literally have no new units since WH1 dlc other than 1 or 2 patch units, so yeah those two need the dlc most.
Like please upgrade norsca.
@@Indian_Tovarisch Norsca and VC should get their CoC-style DLCs instead.
Sorry, but Slaanesh and Elves is the only acceptable combination.
@CommanderBohn Norsca going in instead of dark elves would be better.
This is perfect time to introduce Lord Mortkin,his lore is based and he is one of the best candidates for a norsca lord.
Add in Kurgan and Hung units too if needed
NO ELFS!!!! CATHAY NEEEDS ANOTHER DRAGON!!!! ELFS HAVE ENOUGH ALREADY SO THEY CAN GO F THEMSELVES!!!!
I hope my skelly boys get some love soon. While I would love a new lord I don't think the tomb kings need a huge rework, a couple minor tweaks would be great like stuff for the early game.
I could see the dances work sorta like gorbads thing where if you have enough of specific units they get buffed
Honestly they may bring the preyton for slaanesh. I thought they would bring it for khorne (being its an entity of rage) but they probably are saving it for slaanesh for 2 reasons:
Khorne has a decent chunch of stuff to pull from so they may be saving an undividedtype minster for slaanesh (similiar to tzeentchs cockatrice).
The other reason is roster utility, the preyton is a flying probably anti large monster as it was made to hunt bretonnia knights. Khorne has this. Role fillled with the bloodthirster but slaanesh lacks a good higher tier anti air and is hurting in the anti-large department.
I said the same thing! Preyton would be dope.
Im decently confident its gonna be HE, Slaanesh and Cathay/Norsca.
What about vampire counts neferata has been teased so many times it is getting ridiculous.
@@tylerpetersen6226probably a separate dlc, maybe involving Nagash
@@ynwa9885 But Nagash was weak, witness true power! - Generic vampire lord
@@tylerpetersen6226 The VC are my favorite factions but with them lackin so many characters im scared if we get a dlc with only Neferata the rest aren't gonna show up. We have: Neferata, Abhorash, Wallach Harkon, Ushoran, Vorag, Zacharias, Dieter Helsnicht and Constant Drachenfels. Take or give 1 or 2 characters they have a massive roster of LL that we are still missing.
If they aren't getting any ranged or artillery, Slaanesh badly need more of a flying contingent than just Furies. With that in mind, I'd strongly advocate the Chimera to be their centrepiece unit.
Slaanesh hate angels creative unit to add for the game; theyre mentioned in the books but no models yet on table top.
I was hoping they’d add some “Khuresh” units to dechala
i would follow the Tzeentch formula, 1 beastmen (javelin), 2 snakeboobs units (demonic and mortals), a big centerpiece (basilisk) and a flying monster like the cockatrice (chimera). Slaanesh need an answer to the thunderbarge and a flying monster that is less than a dragon and more than a maticore would be nice, plus it's probably our last chance to get it.
At 18:37 I can hear your cat
two time at the end, and one time in the beginning. cute.
I still want them to make a 3rd tzeentch lord. Hopefully Galrauch. I'd like to see a n'kari rework where you can actually get some special lords from various factions after building up enough gifts with them. Sort of like Tamurkahns heroes but with lords.
My wishlist is for Slaanesh vs High Elves vs Norsca.
The setting would focus on the southern sea, with Dechala starts in Gate of Calith (the strait between Khuresh and Southern Chaos Waste) invading one of High Elves fortress there, Aislinn starts in Eastern Colonies (which I wish CA would split into at least three different provinces), and the Norsca LL starts either in Southern Waste or in Southland. (The Masque can be anywhere, but I think they will be in Beichai, Cathay).
The story, if there is any, will be Dechala tried to destroy High Elves colonies across the world with Aislinn tries to stop her, meanwhile Norsca raider plunder the colonies that is left undefended because Aisliin focusing High Elves navy to chase and beat Dechala.
I prefer Norsca because it is in dire need of update (it is the last Warhammer 1 race to not have major update) and I think Dark Elves can benefited from this DLC without being part of the DLC, just like Beastmen with all Lord Pack so far.
I think Dark Elves witll come later, but for now Norsca is more urgent to get a DLC.
Did they fix the splash damage yet? From what I saw it was crippling monstrous units.
My thoughts for the easiest way to do Ind if they don't want to make it a faction is to say it has been overrun by chaos. Total war 3 is set during the end times. Saying this was a country that is now entirely overrun by chaos makes perfect since.
I really hope that Slaanesh is paired with a vampire counts update considering dwarves, empire and greenskins all got updates alongside chaos.
The more I play the game, the more I wish that a greater emphasis went onto animations, and the Masque would be great to experiment with.
The spells usually debuff, hurt, slow or stop units with some particle effects but it would be great to see something more dynamic, like seeing them forced to dance as the Masque curses them.
Nice! Already on the hype train lol. Hopefully now that Sofia is involved we don’t need to wait another 8 months!
Slaanesh reminds Alphonse Dolmance, the Slaanesh devoted Bertonnian from IEE mod. It might be the first DLC for Bretonnia faction.
I'd love a vassal system refresh and having one of the new Slaanesh lords revolve around some new way of making tempting deals that end in vassalizing someone.
I'd also like to see the devotees system get an upgrade like how khorne's skulls got more ways of spending them.
Snakemen units accompanying Dechala would be a great addition; a couple elite bodyguard type units. Them being added would be similar to how Fimir were added to Norsca.
What would be nice, a unit roster like the Huns in TW Attila. That means ranged light cavalry for hit 'n run tactics and skirm tactics (Parthian ability) and maybe some sort of plunder mechanic
Slanesh+vamps+tomb kings. Especially TKs - had a blast with them in W2
For units I can see
-Boob-snakes
-Slaangors
-Devoted of slaanesh
-Anointed of Slanessh
-A nameless centipede-like monster from Liber chaotica
The Slaanesh centerpiece monster could be the Chimera. It was in the WOC roster, but so were the Chaos monsters the last few DLC packs. It would match the Greco-Roman style of the armor sets, and could be used as a mount that lets the Mortal Lords fly already. The lack of a Slaanesh air presence is why I wish they had been given Azazel.
haha you mentioned it at the end- VAMPIRES tried to summon it too! it's NEFERATA for the Blood-Kiss themeing coming with a major vampire count diplomacy rework!!!
What I would love to see for the Slaanesh DLC is a rework to how vassals work (so they're like vassals in CK3) and/or adding onto the seduction mechanic to allow you to confederate your vassals. For example make it an additional 400 points of seduction at a minimum of the current 400 for your seduction vassals up 800 at which point you can confederate the faction in the same way you would vassalize them. (I know cross-race confederation is possible, how long must we wait CA?)
I forgot where i heard it but there is speculation that the production will speed up next year. The simple reason being that with sophia, now (supposedly) 2 seperate studios are gonna work on (supposedly) 2 seperate dlc's at the same time.🤞
Nathan says “Super seduction mechanic”… Lights dim, candles light, Barry White jam starts playing
Agrammon and a Beats hunting campaign will be also a good option as Lord. He already has a land Mark im the South deserta. The masque fits more as a Heroe … we don’t a the changeling v.2
I would like it if theyaadded female variants of Keeper of secrets for flavor like in the old days. I imagine the extra visible parts wont be there, but they can be done.
Alternative versions of all lords for all factions eventually would be fine (like Elves have).
And the avatar of Khaine for DE center piece I think they mentioned in the book(just one line )but no stat or model
What about Bretonia and Norsca ? or Beastmen, Tomb Kings, Vampire Coast.
I agree with Bretonia and Norsca. Beastmen are fine so far. As for TK and Vcoast, I think CA might release a dedicated dlc for undead only after slaanesh.
“The theming can hit super hard with certain characters….but the theming can hit super hard with just a few characters” lmao nice editing/reviewing 😂🤣
And wood elves are now available build in all regions keep an eye on Slaannesh vs Vampire counts vs Wood elves/Dark elves or wood elves
Would be fun if Dechala had start in Ind or Khuresh. a) it would be thematic by referencing the geographic origins of snake people in mythology b) she could fight some high elf expeditions and distant colonies.
i imagine the last one will be chaos undivided where they focus on chaos factions not based on a single chaos god, which will include a beastmen norscans and possibly something else.
I think we will see the chimera
I would like a grand orchestra as a centre piece. Either as a AOE effect shrine or an artillery unit
Bookmarking to come back to when the dlc is announced, you've been on fire predicting dlc lords and units.
You're right on the money with the lack of demons. Honestly, it's always been kinda weird how how GW has tended to be either extremelt conservative with their mainstay demon units ("here's a slightly different variant of the bloodletter, wowzers!") but also just thrown a shitload of one-off random demons ("here's another weirdo sorcerer of tzeentch! Have a good luck, you will never see this one again!", or "here's a nondescript hulking spawn-looking weirdo glob with spikes! Whatever, who cares!"). I really wish they'd try to find a middle ground here. Apply some of that wacky creativity to the overall battle line. Out of all of the gods, Nurgle is probably the best off in this regard. The range has a pretty good diversity of units that aren't all just mounted plaguebearers or plaguebearer chariots or ranged plaguebearers or slightyly more elite plaguebearers. There's a lot of wacky beasties that also aren't random one-offs, but fulfills specific army niches, which is nice. Khorne and Slaanesh suffer in this regard, though, imho. Tzeentch is sorta in the middle here, imho (flamers are doing a lot of heavy lifting in the "wacky random monster that is actually well-integrated into the overall composition"), but GW's tendency to flanderize everything has hit Tzeentch pretty bad: everything Tzeentch apparently has to be bird-themed now. Enough with the beaks, that's not the core of what Tzeentch is.
That being said, beaks on Tzaangors make them extra spicy, as they are now mammal-bird hybrids.
@kaelthas9970 I'd rather see beaks on tzaangors than see them scattered around on horrors and flamers and sorcerers and spawn, yes.
Slaneesh and HE, yes, but as third one I would see Vampire Counts.
1. They would fit seduction theme
2. They are final starter WH 1 race that didn't get anything new in WH 3 yet (one new variant for Grave Guards, while appreciated, doesn't really count). As for LL for them, considering it is very likely will be IE only DLC again, then maybe Red Duke? At the same time it would give CA an excuse to take a look at Bretonnia.
Whispers of Excess is the name of the DLC I'm betting on and I'm really excited to see how it's handled. I've been wanting some more Elf and Slaanesh rep since I got into the game round early last year, Azazel being one of my personal fav campaigns. A rework to vassals and vassalization would be amazing and really boost a lot of factions up.
Dunno about Styrkaar, makes more sense to add him, along with Haargroth, Melekh, Feytor and Vardek Crom to Archaon, since they are his pals. Like with Tamurkhan and his LHs, make them unlockable along the course of campaign.
I think the best would be if every standard lord and hero buff specific units so u can build multiple buffed armies not just one were the LL or a LL hero is in. They can add additional buffs obviously but having some amount of power on generic lords and heroes would go along way. They did that for example with the empire generals and the ingeneers, as well as the dwarfen heroes and lords to some extend, but with omens of destructions and the greenskins (which I´m currently playing, haven´t tried ogers and khorne, yet) it feels like they missed out on the opurtunity to do that since greenskins have a ton of heroes and lord options and the buffs they provide are rather limited.
Slaangors armed with javelins are most likely for a simple reason: Slaanesh it's the only faction that currently lacks any ranged, artillery and/or flying units (aside generic pink chaos furries and norscan skirmishers). They absolutely need something more to counter Thunderbarges and similar big flying units.
I know that it may not be thematic, but the Wood Elves could be covered by this hypothetical DLC too.
My guess is brettonia with slannesh. There is one brettonia lord who goes feral in combat and it apparently "excites" him. He also loves the arts in his free time. Plot could me the masque heading to brettonia to corrupt him.
Yes, I also think Slaanesh will be released alongside Dark Elves and High Elves. Nothing guarantees it, but it seems most likely.
High Elves have content for at least one DLC including content from the Army Book and the Storm of Chaos Marine Patrol. Dark Elves have the Storm of Chaos Cult of Pleasure and the City Guard. So it's harder to guess what they'll release for Slaanesh than for the, hypothetical, elves.
But part of the reason I think they'll be released together is that several of the Cult of Pleasure units could be used by Slaanesh in addition or Dark Elves or vice versa. At the very least there was a druchii version of a chaos lord of slaanesh which I would be very surprised if CA didn't include.
I think Mask of Slaanesh and Dechala will get the same treatment as Skulltaker and Arbaal, one DLC and the other FLC accompanying the DLC. Dechala's background is very old so I don't know if they'll change it, but I think they'll use her, of the old Slaanesh characters she's the most recognizable and as old as Arbaal, so there's no reason not to add her to the game. Both are demonic, but Dechala is a demon princess so if CA wants she could be used in Warriors of Chaos.
If they add snaketits as mounts it'll be funny because the models will wear bras or something similar. Some form of Slaaneshi beastmen is almost certain at this point, maybe in addition to Slaagors we'll see another beastmen unit. Maybe Slaaneshi ungors with javelins. If there are no units CA can come up with something from 0, they've done it before.
CA has put out a lot of Storm of Chaos content, so anything that had rules in that book has the highest chance of being included.
Perhaps CA will include two legendary heroes instead of one given the huge disparity in legendary hero numbers between factions. If there are any missing units, they have already made up for it with additional HL.
Of the three single entities you show, for me, the only one that fits aesthetically in Slaanesh is the basilisk.
While I agree it is likely to be Slaneesh themed, with a FLC Slaneesh LL. Absolute bet it will also be VC - we have seen one of the WH1 races being reworked per DLC and now the only left is Vampire Counts and they have said they are on the list. Easy LL to match off against Slaneesh would be the queen of the Silver Pinnacle and fan favourite herself Neferata. 3rd race would be good to show they are working through the WH2 races next and Heleves would be a good starting point.
I would love if they gave Slaangors and Centigors of Slaanesh with bows and arrows. Missle troops for Slaanesh and Beastmen, as well as scrimmage cav. Big monster with wings would be cool too.
For a Sleenesh dlc wise I think this would be the most ideal set up
- Dechala the Denied One LL
- the mask of Sleenesh LH free
- vandred the majestic LH
- choas sorcerer lord of Sleenesh
- Exculted hero of Sleenesh
- Slaangores
- Sleenesh centigors
- Pleasure seekers demons
- pleasure knights mortals
- some kind big monster unit
- dark elves cultist reskin units for Dechala
As for Styrkaar I think would be good in a end times dlc
I reckon the centrepiece will be the Chimera. It’s a monster they had art for ages ago, but never found a place to put it in. Slaanesh not having an obvious centrepiece monster is the perfect opportunity.
Otherwise, they might make a new unit out of something in the art!
Slaanesh + Bretonia + Vamps is what is needed most.
Because of how CA likely needs to ensure some revenue, I am thinking Slaanesh/High Elves/Vampire Counts. 2 factions from previous games that are beloved and the last monogod to go, it is both necessary for them to be reviewed and it will be a great source of income.
If you want Dechala it may be good to move N’Kari, allowing Dechala to on her own dealing with high elves and Ulthuan, if you want a narratively thematic campaign, n’Kari to Cathay perhaps
The Dread Maw should stay underground while moving. It has an idle animation above ground and attack animations above ground, obviously. But while moving place to place, it should be underground and we can't see it unless we select the unit and we see a unit highlight of it, and when it eventually gets however far away it needs to go, it comes out of the ground and does its thing.
I’d personally love to see slaanesh for the next dlc. I think they could do a pass over of tomb kings too.
Slaanesh hate angels would be cool as a creative unit to make not in the tabletop but in the books
I thinking the DLC could be Slash/high elves/Vampire counts = Neferata. it would justify a vampire rework on a bigger scale. Neferata would fit very well with DLC outside of Dark elves which could use a smaller rework
But I want the vamps to have a dlc to themselves.
@@elegantoddity8609 As Far as we know, we are not getting another Champion of chaos DLC. CA could change there mind IDK. The only other time VC get a dlc could be Nagash DLC. That going take a lot of work already with skaven and Nagash work. It better to get VC out of the way first. Also Warhammer community is struggling with Dark elves roster
As thematic it would be for the High and Dark elves to be focused on, I would prefer if the other two races focused on in a Slaanesh themed DLC be among these four: Norsca, Vampire Counts, Bretonnia and Lizardmen because they need it far more.
Expecting the Masque, with Dchala, vs. The Monkey King, and another Cathayan dragon over in that Ind area
What about the character nastasya roskolnikov i saw on the wiki. Theres quite a bit of lore on her
It make sense to add daemon flc just because they all started with only one. Not a giant daemons fan but maybe slaanesh will be interesting, I like the promise of high damage.
Of the Monsrous Arcanum units, the Chimera should be going to the Warriors of Chaos and the Basilisk should be going to Slaanesh. Realistically, the Dread Maw will never be put into the game. It seems way more likely if CA got permission to make an Incarnate Elemental of Shadows and use that for Slaanesh
Whats the mortal Tzeentch LL for Shadows of Change tho?
Slaneesh v DE v HE would make me so happy :) I will wait for as long as I must for it to be good.
NO ELFS!!!! CATHAY NEEEDS ANOTHER DRAGON!!!! ELFS HAVE ENOUGH ALREADY SO THEY CAN GO F THEMSELVES!!!!
Having a start that isn't just straight into being DPed... Couldn't have said it better myself. I need a slaanesh setup that I don't have to immediately fight for my life.
18:29 yo who put the cat on the mic ⚠️🐈⚠️
Samwiz on da slaanesh vid
I’m hoping, Slanash, Norsca, and chaos dwarves all get a DLC together.
My idea for Slaanesh's dlc:
LL: Dechala the Denied One
LH: Styrkaar of the Sortsvinaer
L: Sorcerer Lord of Slaanesh
H: Exalted Hero of Slaanesh
Unit 1: Slaangors
Unit 2: Chaos Ogres (I think they're fitting for a slaanesh dlc and I think would get an exclusive RoR)
Unit 3: Daemonettes or Chaos Knight on Serpents of Slaanesh
Unit 4: Preyton (like how tzeentch got the cockatrice and the mutaleth vortex beast in Shadows of Change, the preyton would be a smaller single entity monster)
Unit 5: Basilisk (Gigantic Chaos Spawn doesn't fit and the dread maw is probably too much effort to add)
FLL: Masque of Slaanesh
i really hope its Slaanesh VS high elves VS vampire counts, with Neferata being the vampire legendary lord
SIgvald has Hammerstorm, Hellbrass, Blue scribes in his army already, imagine if he gets another legendary hero
All elves and slaneesh would be amazing. Dark elves and slaneesh need the most, high elves could use some stuff and wood elves maybe some normal expansion mechanics...
NO ELFS!!!! CATHAY NEEEDS ANOTHER DRAGON!!!! ELFS HAVE ENOUGH ALREADY SO THEY CAN GO F THEMSELVES!!!!
If you see the trailer for OoD you could see Norsca and Bretonia loosing fights against DLC factions. I think it’s an hint for the next dlc. We will have Slanesh, Norsca and Bretonia !
I would love some skirmishers for Slaanesh, something to poke the enemy army with to get them angry and pull them out of position.
