My Expectations For Slaanesh In The Next DLC - Total War Warhammer 3 - Omens of Destruction

[@TheGreatBookofGrudges]

Link to giveaway in description! 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 :)

[@MrSafior]

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.

Even Dark elves. They have decent campaign mechanics in general but some of the lords specific campaign experiences are lacking in I.E.

[@StandstillYouTube]

@@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.

[@TheJohnmurphy516]

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

[@jonasfull]

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!

[@Scarycrow89]

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!

[@davidjankraayveld7784]

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 😅

[@Rewwgh]

@@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.

To address the earlier comment, I hope we get to see Styrkaar.

[@JohnDoe-oz9vz]

At 18:37 I can hear your cat

[@Gorge-890]

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.

[@ShadowPhoenixMaximus]

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.

[@Aethgeir]

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.

[@davidhernando353]

@@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.

[@davidhernando353]

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.

[@TheMMOCafe]

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.

[@nonesuch6833]

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.

[@Vikingskog]

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.

[@LustyLichKing]

[@wolfgangthornton1787]

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

[@josephjohnson5415]

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.

[@OrionTheAboveAverage]

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

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.

[@Indian_Tovarisch]

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.

[@Indian_Tovarisch]

@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

[@IlGrandeMagazzi]

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.

[@Valforg]

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.

[@Moncrom]

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.

[@jackharrow7147]

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.

[@duplicitouskendoll9402]

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.

[@nukinhunter8275]

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.

[@BearPawSwipe]

I said the same thing! Preyton would be dope.

[@witoldgrabowskiwatcher]

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...

[@Ryan-kw2dp]

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

I dont think strykar is the best for the hero simply because hes one of archaons lieutenants, so Id prefer he be held over for that. Maybe that gilberion guy or mad slaaneshi kislevite lady who thinks shes queen. That aside, the archfiend (giant demonette snake thing) would make a good centerpiece. Doesnt even have to be a daemon. The anointed seem more like a dark elf unit.

[@MrSafior]

The Anointed were a lord type that couldn't lead army, but nothing will stop CA to change, after all Eshin assassin are not supposed to lead army, and yet they can in Total War. Plus it's would be great for theming army, especially if they bring the Devoteds of Slaanesh.

[@TheAtlasReview]

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.

[@nakenmil]

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.

[@kaelthas9970]

That being said, beaks on Tzaangors make them extra spicy, as they are now mammal-bird hybrids.

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.

[@kapixniecapix3869]

They definitely should add more and more unique mechanics for lords. Only two per dlc is not to much considering the amount of lords that need it.

[@chozer1]

Is sigvald not slaanesh’s favored mortal champion?

[@7Deer7]

I must point out I have not played the tabletop. In regards to slaanesh, I personally would like to see a faction that heavily relies on vassals. Imagine if you could freely recruit vassal units without a limit and you could buff your vassals. Could be a fun gimmick I think

[@davidhernando353]

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.

[@piratekingluffy376]

So far the only dlc that feels worth buying is the thrones of decay. I’m going to be passing on omens, however. I have been having a lot of fun with arrabal. I think he’s the best FLC ever released

[@jiado6893]

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.

[@adammorris551]

Im going to throw it out there. I honestly reckon the Preyton would fit Slanesh very well as a Centrepiece. Think of it, the creature itself is a mockery of beauty which the Slanesh units seem to all share similarities with. Gives Slanesh a horrific shock flying unit. And again, the Beastmen (who have profited so much from these DLCs) get their final big monster.

[@jonasfull]

SIgvald has Hammerstorm, Hellbrass, Blue scribes in his army already, imagine if he gets another legendary hero

[@jamesmcdonnell240]

I could see the dances work sorta like gorbads thing where if you have enough of specific units they get buffed

[@RagingFreedom360]

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.

[@lightbringer1237]

Tbh i prefer Gilberion instead of Strykaar

[@BearPawSwipe]

Oh good call! That would be an interesting model!

[@cap258]

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.

[@Hawkens4k]

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.

[@Ionenkanone1]

I think If they get the Greenlight for Dechala, I hope they can go all out with the snake stuff so it is worth making and worth buying

[@Fimbulwinter2]

Slaanesh + Bretonia + Vamps is what is needed most.

[@MarkS00NMcknown]

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.

[@dracco2956]

3:17 i would like to see slaanesh, vampire counts with neferata and dark elves as the next dlc. i would also like to see with neferata to see a slight update to the VC tech tree and rebalnce some of the bloodkiss armys. A update to the mechanics of the dark elves mainly the unpaid interns *cough cough* highly unlikly but one may dream

[@purboyoananda]

Do you think Slaanesh beastman unit will be call Hornigor or sextigor?

[@Samwiz1]

18:29 yo who put the cat on the mic ⚠️🐈⚠️

[@cinnamonflavord]

[@masonvinthers7138]

Slannesh, dark elf’s, and vampire counts is my bet

[@Weberkooks]

nah it will be HE not vampire counts. we will probs get a nagash dlc to fill out all the undead factions

[@zacharyferrara4970]

Yeah we still need Neferata, which I think would be badass in the pack with slannesh, Nagash won’t make it to the game.

[@AssyrianTitan]

@@zacharyferrara4970 Nagash is 100% coming, he is the ultimate end times boss.

[@zacharyferrara4970]

@ but putting Nagash in would be the same as khorne, sotek, the celestial dragon himself. Would be too broken and lore destructive to make him an active lord. He can solo any lord on the roster right now, probably solo all of them combined lol

[@samot6369]

​@@zacharyferrara4970The 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.

[@smorphous8928]

I guarantee the factions that are getting their next big update is Slaanesh, Vampire counts and the last one is between Bretonnia, Lizardmen, and Wood elves.

[@Nicolord45]

As much as i love DE in the total war franchise, I think that they already have a lot of LLs offering diverse campaign experiences. Thus I hope CA would rather focus on norsca as the third faction for the DLC (since HE are basically mandatory when going for a slaanesh themed DLC). This wouldn't hurt the theme of the DLC imo (my hope would be for them to bring Albion tribes officially in the game, although the mod really nailed it) Morathi could still benefit from a more complete roster without needing too much focus imo. As for the centerpiece, the basilisk might be most likely? I could imagine CA blending the animations of the frost wyrm and the slaughterbrute into one serpentine-esque killdozer

[@davidthewhitelizard3681]

I think Centigors of Slaanesh could be a thing either with spears with anti large bonus or with throwing axes for some ap punch.

[@elegantoddity8609]

Eh, at this point thats just throw off the relative symmetry, between centigors of tzeentch and minotaurs of Khorne, especially since we already have better options.

[@KhorgosKhul]

I think slaanesh will get one LL and one LH, BUT!!! CA will FINALLY let Sigvald, Azazel and the rest of the "champions of chaos" become optional in the mono factions.

[@deckardus-te2oo]

Yes, I can imagine that. Dechala as a DLC legendary lord, Masque of Slaanesh as a DLC legendary hero. No FLC legendary lord for Slaanesh, but you'll get the option to play Arazel and Sigvald as Slaanesh LL in the campaign. Arazel could theoretically be the 2nd demonic LL for Slaanesh instead of Masque of Slaanesh. An FLC legendary lord could be Egrimm van Horstmann, so that each of the 4 mono-god races would have 4 playable legendary lords.

[@HadrosaurHero]

I have nothing to base this on but perhaps they switched to Khorne because nothing had been done for that dlc yet, and perhaps some work had been done to the Slaanesh dlc already bu the time Thrones came out. So maybe we're living in a world where Khorne took a while and then Slaanesh already has some work done on it so it can come out in the first half of the year.

[@74arcath]

really hoping NOT DE they dont need anymore, many Factions need it so much more

[@KhorgosKhul]

Yeah, Vampire, Bretonnia, Tombkings, hell even the Beastmen.

[@Saxa2013]

​@@KhorgosKhulNorsca, at least 1 dlc:D

[@hippi0284]

I was a bit disappointed there was not a narrative campaign in the Omens of Destruction DLC, really hope there will be a narrative campaign in the next DLC

[@shnuff5053]

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.

[@slaaneshshewhothirst9136]

My wish is for Slaanesh to get some ranged (most likely is going to need to be pulled from end times/AoS), proper anti large infantry (or proper anti large in general). I also want them to bring Shalaxi Hellbane, as a proper anti large hero/lord (hope lord and place her start position close to skarbrand since she has a whole beef with him). Another thing I want for Slaanesh or any Monogod chaos factions is a rework to how they interact with settlements, they should be able to occupy every type of settlements, except maybe a few exceptions for each. There could also be a Vortex mechanic with the High Elves, Dark Elves, Skaven, Lizardmen and every chaos factions. Make it so it’s as important for these factions, as it was for the end times. (Maybe Wood Elves could also be involved) Like High Elves, Lizardmen, Wood Elves (maybe) and Dark Elves could have a possibility to bolster it after a few turns, allowing their factions to get boosts and cripple real hard any chaos factions. Maybe have it so that after having boosted the vortex, these factions become immune to climate penalties so they can “cleanse the world of the taint of chaos”. While Chaos, Dark Elves and Skaven could all get the ability to undo it, bolstering their God of choice (or all of them if you play an undivided faction) boosting chaos/skaven faction and allowing them to be Immune to climate penalties. Dark Elves should have both options, except for Morathi and Hellebron. Morathi should only have the option to unbind it while Hellebron should only have the option to bolster it but maybe “corrupt it” with Khaine’s essence boosting Hellebron, making it so she has “more” favour from Khaine and making it so like the mission to get Morathi and Alarielle factions and make it so she doesn’t need to worry about death nights as much. Lizardmen and Wood Elves could get an option that while boosting the Vortex and making them immune to climate penalties, every one on the map that isn’t them or their allies get huge penalties. In that rework, if Malekith decides to bolster the Vortex, it could allow him to get High Elf units and confederate them. Skaven could have that if they can unbind the vortex, they confederate every other Skaven Factions and Declare war on everybody (that’s not a Skaven) (Make it so the player could turn on or off the ability for non high elves or player factions to go for these objectives) (They could just re-use the mechanic for the vortex for this but tweak it a little)

[@OniFeez]

I know it's highly unlikely, but I want them to get rid of devastating flanker. Slaanesh is already incentivized to make flanking and rear attacks due to a number of factors, their speed, their squishiness, and just generalship anyway. Instead, I'd want their trait to be something like attack speed delay reduction. In terms of units, while it's an AoS unit, I think the roster absolutely *needs* an Infernal Enrapturess, mainly because as a faction without any missile troops it's a glaring weakness. Even the 'melee concentrating' Khorne has much more in the way of ranged than Slaanesh.

[@jansteinhaus5821]

Pretty funny isn‘t it, that Khorne, god of „no-shooting-and-magic“, has more missile units than Slaanesh who just lacks missile units due to artificial roster restrictions that have nothing to do with the lore

[@igorwisniewski9412]

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.

[@giantnerd14]

Bookmarking to come back to when the dlc is announced, you've been on fire predicting dlc lords and units.

[@Walshy1Jojo]

Cult of Pleasure, Witch Elf Daemonettes, Harpies that look like Daemonettes. LET'S GO!!!!

[@kylarstern17]

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?)

[@nflonfox9783]

I actually reckon they might have Syll'Esske as the FLC Lord, and the Masque as a new hero any Slaaneshi faction can gain. Edit: Forgot Syll'Esske isn't a Fantasy character.
