Warhammer 40K: Slaanesh Daemon Are Here To Go Fast
Slaanesh Daemons are leaning into their theme of excess hard with their new updates. They are about to go FAST.
We’ve gotten a look at how there are changes coming for Khorne, Nurgle, and Tzeentch. Now it’s time for Slaanesh’s Daemons to get a turn under the spotlight. That’s if you can catch them because they are moving fast.
Slaanesh Daemons Go Fast
“We’ve been unveiling loads of reveals from the upcoming Codex: Chaos Daemons, from festering plagues to twisting schemes, but we can resist the allure of the Dark Prince no longer. It’s time to see what Slaanesh is up to.”
To kick things off we’re getting a closer look at the Daemonettes of Slaanesh. Check out their new stat-line and behold that speed boost!
Jumping up from 7″ of movement (which was already fast) to 10″ is no joke! These Daemonettes will be able to keep up with most vehicles going flat out! They also got a point of Strength for their attacks which pairs nicely with their 4 attacks base! Oh, and don’t forget about those new and improved Daemon Saves. That’s a 5+ in melee and a 4+ vs shooting — unmodifiable, of course!
One other noteworthy change to the Daemonettes is how their claws have been changed. They have gained an extra point of AP but have lost their ability “to rend right through armor.” It’s a trade off of their chance to spike damage vs more consistent AP.
Seekers were already fast but now they’ve also gotten a bump in speed as well as more strength, toughness and 2 more attacks base! Plus, their saves got improved, too. What’s not to like about the new Seeker stats?
“Their updated Unholy Speed makes them especially quick on the assault, adding 1 to their charge rolls and – combined with their 16” move speed – ensuring no enemy is safe from melee for long. “
These Seekers are going to be zooming across the tabletop for sure. There’s not going to be a whole lot of space to hide from them. But enough about these generic Slaanesh Daemons, how about some Character info?
The Masque of Slaanesh gets to choose from one of their three dances at the start of the fight phase. These dances can really mess with the target enemy unit by making attacks hitting them more consistent or by making their attacks back less effective.
That’s all from the Daemons of Slaanesh in the upcoming Codex: Chaos Daemons. This preview felt a little lighter than the others — but maybe that’s because they are just moving that fast!
Slaanesh Daemons — Gotta go Fast!
