The slannesh team is quite a nice concept I always think. I'd be tempted to make the acolytes the same statline as hobgoblins or thralls (cheaper, dispensible).

The tyrants seem over-costed to me - I have them calculated as 60k. Do you really need to give them Right Stuff?

Daemonettes seem OK, but break the rule about having no more than 2 ST3 players with claw on a team. I suppose it's mitigated by the fact they can't pick the ball up ;)

As for the Prince - disturbing presence would be nice :)

If I ever wanted to make a slaanesh team I would use the Necromantic roster, demonettes as werewolfs, sexy girls/guy miniatures as your ghouls, love struck hunks for your golems and love struck wimps for your zombie. Love keeps 'em comin' back for more (regeneration).

But as it's own entity
1-4 Demonettes. Claws, Lovely (foul) appearance, going down (piling on) 7,3,3,7 G,A-SPM 110k
1-16 Love struck goons Thick skull, Regeneration 6,3,2,8

Ummm, ahh, fridge, I just like the idea of love struck goons.

Suits me

re: Right Stuff, you're right, I thought skinks had it and it was automatically given with stunty. Removed. On costing, my reckoning is that the +AG is disproportionately good on a player with dodge and stunty preinstalled (2+ dodge anywhere with a reroll), and so deserved a bump up in cost. Let's try at 60k though, see how it looks.

And there's no S access, ST4 or starting block anywhere on the team, so pairing it with Mighty Blow - or even Guard on another player - is difficult.

I agree. I think Fabulous Appearance is a must, too - but I'm stuck from there.

I agree, I think the roster would make a great proxy. Warriors of slaanesh, besotted cultists, daemonettes... but since Nurgle and Khorne seem to be getting their own crack at this, why not try and come up with a roster for the deity that always appealed to me the most? And once I'd come up with the idea of a little evil cherub "tyrant", I just had to come up with something.

Me too! Unfortunately, I think that (a) Regen has been "done" by nurgle, and (b) if any team was crying out for a sexy nurse apoth...

So, to represent lovestruck followers, how about something like this? :P

0-16 Acolyte 6338 Bonehead G/ASPM 40k
0-4 Tyrant 6247 Dodge, Stunty, Animosity A/GSPM 60k
0-4 Daemonette 6347 Dodge, Claw, Hypnotic Gaze, No Hands GA/SPM 90k
0-1 Big guy/gal ???? Loner, Fabulous Appearance, Disturbing Presence
