Chaos Battlestome: Hedonites of Slaanesh

by Games Workshop

Slaanesh may be imprisoned – but, with this battletome, his powers are yours to master. This 96-page battletome is your complete guide to the armies of the Dark Prince. You'll discover dark lore that sheds light on Slaanesh – the Chaos God of excess and pleasure – and his dreaded hosts. From the relentless seekers to usurping pretenders, this book brings some of the most sinister corners of the Mortal Realms to life in fantastic detail, with stunning art, new lore and tantalising hints of what the future holds for the Dark Prince. Meanwhile, a number of warscroll battalions, three sets of allegiance abilities, magical spells, command traits, artefacts and more allow you to build deadly Slaanesh armies made up of daemons and mortals alike. What’s more, the book contains painting tips and different colour schemes to inspire your collection, as well as bespoke missions and Path to Glory rules that are perfect for organising your first battles with Slaanesh’s hosts.

This book contains:

- Allegiance abilities for Hedonites of Slaanesh, including a table of Battle Traits, a system for summoning Slaanesh Daemons, plus battle traits, command traits, and artefacts of power for the following Hosts: Invaders, Pretenders, and Godseekers

Gave me some good ideas for painting and creating some base terrain

Being an Elf fan leads me to have a little bias to all Elven Gods, even the twisted ones. It was interesting to see what happened to Slaanesh and her imprisonment.

Great inclusion to the Warhammer AOS fold. The lore and warscrolls provide a fascinating way to deploy tactics on the battlefield. As a fan of narrative play, the concept of hedonism and accumulation of depravity points plays right into my field of interests.

The god story does not progress a lot, the hedonite tribes groups do not add a lot to the story or overall background neither.
