"Azazel starts near a tower of crack." I would expect nothing less.

sigvald is actually undivided while his personal army should be slaaneshi because of his own alignment he can in fact access all 4 gods, unlike Azazel who's pure like the other three champions

[@icaindianen]

It even kinda makes sense lorewise. Cause if you read some of the lore stuff in the army books etc, he had a Khorne champion in his army when he invaded ulthuan.

[@Garret007]

If that's true, that's good to know

[@sev1120]

It even said in the article about the rework that whilst Sigvald is undivided, he should delegate other god-aligned units to other characters

[@GrenzRell]

I mean, Slaanesh has to indulge it's cuck fetishes somehow.

[@Eyeless177]

Yep, Legend was wrong about it in Sigvalds video too. Seems like he never checked the tech tree.

[@Romczy]

Sigvald and Azazel are quite different. Sigvald is more chaos undivided with Slaanesh tendencies. Azazel not so much. Sigi even has undivided tech tree

[@Jach93]

God I remember seeing the stat bonuses on the blade of Slaanesh when I first got it in my first Azazel campaign and having to do a triple take. It’s insane how good it is.

[@darthtom100]

One thing you missed about the mark of Slaanesh, it gives cavalry and chariots devastating flanker. Also Azazel's unique tech tree gets halescourge units bonus Vs infantry.

[@Equim991]

One thing i wish you explored more is Azazel's (faction) ability to actually more or less join the ordertidem, due to his faction global bonuses. It's sure as hell easier to fight early game kislev and empire, but it makes for an interesting campaign to try to ally with kislev and empire. It can be done, but rather tough

[@pogpog9155]

That's interesting, It sounds similar to how Vlad/Isabella can ally easier with the empire/order factions with the right skills/blood kiss'

[@nailigniststarzear6689]

WoC Diplomacy is messed up because their vassal when they hate you, they also hate your vassal and also hate you that have treaty on your vassal and that can and will snowball into even lower than -500 relationship to literally anyone around you very early on

[@spartacus6256]

You just reminded me of 1 Azazel campaign I did where after securing my first province, I just spammed out Kislev and Reikland.

[@kvltofsobek90]

I can totally imagine a slaanesh LL going for dominating order factions and protecting "my precious children" from disorder incursions to keep the debauchery flowing

[@Rewwgh]

Azazel is my favorite WoC lord right after Festus. I really enjoy his starting position as it's fairly safe but there's still plenty of danger to go around. I also have to shout out Kostaltyn as a really good, non-trading, kinda unwilling Vassal. He is able to keep so much of Kislev in line while Azazel adventures north. Of course I don't do that with every Azazel campaign start however.

[@Zucca2011]

Festus the bestus

[@ftayl5]

You can reload the turn to reroll the reward from eye of the gods. Guarantee you get the blade first time.

[@IncomingSleeper]

i were about to say the same

[@u-mos8820]

These little reviews are nice! Getting context for what to do and why to do it that way is really helpful for some lords, especially in WHTW3.

[@jakubs.5966]

Loved my Be'lakor campaign. Perfect for legendary/vh. You're powerhouse just doing what you want for the most of time. I did up to 272 regions with pleasure.

[@Boingy420]

I miss the Blade of Slaanesh when doing Realms of Chaos. No sparkly animation, no drawbacks, just a sweet sword.

[@Zombologist83]

Nice to see the legion of happy boiz getting some love from the Legend.

[@Kampfy]

Anyone else miss the "See you later fuckers"?

[@Scaphism36]

Never been more disappointed than when I played Archeon campaign and confederated Azazel with all his unique weapons, waited four turns to get him and he felt weaker than generic lords. All chaos legendary lords were way more fun to play. I think playing him might be better

[@totalwar-hamster4518]

Bizarrely enough, i get a lot of my campaign strats based on what I see the Ai doing. In the first IE build, he would completely ignore the tower of crack, and walk all the way around the back to the settlement (which I seem to always take, and relocate Daniel to) below clan Ferrik. Slaanesh is my top race, but whilst with Sigvald i had 20k vassal income by mid to late game, I couldnt get easily get vassals using the domination mechanic. Using the technique of walking around the back, and declaring war on thrott immediately, i did manage to dominate the kislevites but it wasn't worth the hassle. Must say I gotta disagree on the Chosen Hellscourges though. The weekend before they got their buff, I literally spent 4-6 hours in custom battle testing them against different techniques, and pre-buff I thought they were about on par with normal slaanesh chosen. Now I think they are a bit OP. Whilst the mono-god is more aligned to stacking buffs and debuffs, the WOC slaanesy are more aligned to hammer and anvil via devastating flanker. Those hellscourges will keep their line insanely well, and then you create weakspots in their line either using the rampage mechanic spells in the slaaneshy tree, or straight up whip the line down the middle and charge all your cav through. But either way, with the buffed Hellscourges, they beat Khorne chosen 1v1 when they have the anti infantry tech. You can still add in the debuff stacks with daemonettes etc, but the lords (especially azazel) have their own AOE debuffs to create a weakness in the line as well. Having said though, most of those techniques are at their strongest in multiplayer, since you can roll your face on the keyboard against the ai when you have chosen. Seriously though, relocate both Boris, Malus, Daniel to the settlement below Ferrik from turn 1 and the campaign is a dream by comparison. You actually get to use Boris's confederation events.

[@Doombot221]

Those global bonuses for dedication are pretty great in the early game tho as souls are trickier I'd say to hold onto in the early game. If you have one or two gifts going at once your stock goes down quite quick if you aren't razing everything you run into

[@40kVallin]

About the blade of Slaanesh. Can you just reloaed every time you get the first Dilemma until it appears? I mean like in the Realm of Slaanesh. Edit: To answer my own question, yes it is possible. 4 reloads to get the Blade of Slaanesh at the first Dilemma.

[@diogovieira5563]

i got this shit blade in this realm of sin while doing my great ortodoxy roc campaign. I just refuse that piece of pecaminous shit and proceded to end that vile sodomistic demons like a chad.

[@anthonyboylan5436]

I recently completed Azazel on the RoC campaign and chosen with hellscourges do not die, combine them with spawn of slaanesh, fiends and exalted daemonettes you've got all the killing power, mobility and staying power you could ever need

[@Romczy]

Tbh, Slaanesh knights are also absolutely insane

[@anthonyboylan5436]

@@Romczy I never tried them because I enjoy the speed of seeker cav so kept hellscourge cav instead of upgrading them haha I will use slaanesh chaos knights in the future I like cav but I love over 90 speed cav

[@SkottVFX]

Hey Legend! Just wanted to point out that Sigvald belongs in the undivided roster. That means 3 things that makes Azazel better as a Slaanesh Focused Lord. 1) Azazel has a Slaanesh focused tech tree that boosts end game Slaanesh units far better. 2) Azazel can upgrade Daemonettes to their exalted version, while sigvald can't. 3) Azazel can have up to 4 Slaanesh gifts at a time while Sigvald only 2. All in all to reach his full potential SIgvald's faction has to play as undivided, sadly. That's why his faction is lucklaster and does better as confederated.

[@Shrade-0]

My only issue with WoC Slaanesh is that Slaanesh is the only chaos faction that I like the demon infantry over the mortal ones.

[@faeezf]

Malagor or other beastmen review next please

[@benb4557]

Dude, I also mentioned this in you Sigvald review... but Siggy has and undivided tech tree. It took me less than 2 min to confirm this in game. Being able to recruit nurgle lords and heroes makes a huge difference for the WoC. Common legend we expect better from you.

[@Graceclaw]

Azazel is confusing to me, because he seems quite strong but he always gets bodied and relegated to one settlement in my campaigns

[@ekothesilent9456]

Who are you playing as most often when this happens?

[@nailigniststarzear6689]

best thing about him is blade of Slaanesh, and you can get it very very early by save scam

[@TheGreatCharlie123]

AHHHHH........ZAZEL!

[@Valiyus]

Are the normal Marauders of Slaanesh the best or is the Hellscourges variant better? Also can't wait for a Aranessa Saltspite review. I find her to be in a weird spot, not in terms of location but in terms of gameplay where she should have more Sartosa related infantry versus undead units. I'm not sure if she is an overall good LL or not.

[@MagicianCamille]

Hellscourges are better at holding the line and absorbing charges. Marauders a little better at killing stuff but not much. Personally I would just use Hellscourges as part of my line and use other unit types to do damage and ignore Marauders unless there is literally nothing else available.

[@Romczy]

6 scourge chosen, 4 knights of Slaanesh, 4 halberd chosen of tzeench, 3 spawn of Slaanesh, Sigvald, Khorne Exalted champ, Slaanesh mage of shadows. Ez wins

[@anonymouswombat8538]

Started an Azazel campaing yesterday. Rushed crazy Rasputin, befriended Throt, have vasalized Throgg, and mostly secure all Norsca. Once you star pacifying Norsca the campaign deflates a bit though. A bit of end-turn-simulation... Im hyped for what comes next though (idk if I want to go north or south). I also have gotten the best RNG in a video game, ever. Like its turn 20 and I already have Slaneesh Sword, Armour of Destiny, Talisman of Preservation, Chalice of Chaos, and the Book of Ashur. Lol !

[@riley_028]

loving these campaign reviews, would love to see either Khatep or Khalida next!

[@Doombot221]

Azazel also has the best RoC campaign imo, tho that's not a very typical map that gets played

[@lukasvesth6037]

For anyone wanting a very early one man army, it is possible to save scum for the Blade of Slaanesh. Although it obviously isnt't necessery, it is definately a lot of fun to control in battles. I think I obtained the Blade at turn 25, but you could probably get it even earlier.

[@TheSinicus]

You're mistaken, Legend. Sigvald does not have a Slaanesh focused tech tree.

Too bad that Azazel and Sigvald don't count as Slaanesi factions, stripping them of many benefits from tech and gifts of Slaanesh

[@zemo2916]

This comment doesn’t make sense

[@MarineCARMINE]

Slaanesh chosen need to be better

[@lewishorsman2219]

CA need to completely change confederations because confederations have always been for the LL and the territory they have less so than what the LL can do for you as a whole. Why should you lose the benefits that a LL gives towards your campaign? Why can’t the LL you confed still give faction wide bonuses to specific units? It’s so dumb. Considering how big this game is going to be in 2-3 years it makes sense to do it now. And now that confeds are not easy to get for a lot of the characters in the game it would make them much more worth doing. Dwarves probably are one of the best races in the game for boosting specific units as LL but you don’t get the benefit when you confed that LL. Such a waste really. I would love to make balanced armies for all my armies if I have confederated all the LL in that race and then go stomping but I can’t.
