The Ecstatic Legions Lords

Chaos Lord of Slaanesh

The Lords of Slaanesh are some of the most dangerous of all His mortal servants, both as warriors of appalling ruthlessness and demagogues of alarming skill. In this way they have proved themselves not only in combat, but also in their devotion to the Dark Prince. They spread their Master’s depravity amongst the foolish and the unwary, promoting such extreme heresy and deviance as to be an affront to nature itself. The history of their deeds makes for grim reading: entire towns and cities slaughtered to the man and massive armies slain, each corpse’s face contorted in perfect agony at its final moment of suffering.

Strengths & Weaknesses

• Armoured & Shielded
  Armoured units can block damage from any source apart from Armour-Piercing damage. Shields have a chance of blocking arrows, bolts, rifle shots and similar small arms fire - but only in a forward facing arc.
• Melee Expert
  Melee Experts might have a very strong melee attack or melee defence, or high values in both. Some also have melee-focused skills like [[img:ui/battle ui/ability_icons/charge_defense.png]]Charge Defence. Use them to counter other strong melee units. When facing them, it is best to take them out before they can enter melee.
