Need Help with my Slaanesh

Hey guys !

I wanna try out an Sorcerer-build. I saw this in a game between 2 friends of me.

Chaos Sorcerer Lord, General, Level 4 Upgrade, Mark of Slaanesh
+ Lore of Slaanesh
+ Chaos Familiar, Allure of Slaanesh
+ Ogre Blade, Potion of Foolhardiness, Talisman of Preservation, Dragonhelm
+ Daemonic Mount, Barding
- - - > 465 Points



Now i need a carrier unit for this little monster... maybe this :

9 Marauder Horsemen, Mark of Slaanesh, Flails
- - - > 153 Points

or something like a bus unit with exalted hero and knights?

i have no idea, maybe you can help me. iam new in whfb, and iam sure you can help me ;D

maybe you think the sorcerer lord is complete crap?


(sry for my bad english...)

Welcome to the chamber!

Sorcerer lord is always a solid choice. I don't think the ogre blade is all that useful on him given he has 3 attacks. Just not enough attacks to justify the cost.

Your sorc's escort really depends on what you want to use him for. The choir bomb is a fairly good tactic where you have the sorc in a unit of hellstriders and use the big version of cacophonic choir to basically ruin a movement face for the entire enemy army. That tactic though often does mean sacrificing your sorc, so you have to know how to fully use that sacrifice.

If you want to use him just for general casting he would probably fit in an infantry unit better than knights or horsemen, but you can make either choice work. A general build just depends on him having a decent save-so scaly skin or the enchanted shield plus the talisman of preservation is pretty solid.

And your English isn't bad. ;)

actually, it's a solid set up for the Sorcerer Lord. I've been running it quite a lot recently. If you bubble choir in combat, the lore attribute kicks in and bumps up your attacks to crazy levels :)

I would however suggest a unit of knights for him to ride around with... Or if you switch out the Daemonic Mount for a Steed of Slaanesh, you can start bubble choiring from turn 1 :D

Mh i think 8 knights are fine. How do you play the sorcerer? Just run into enemys / close combat and Chor-bomb? ;D iam a little bit scared, cause he costs 465points (i play a 2000p game) thats 25% of my army

I had not considered the lore attribute, that's actually not a bad idea. It does mean completely depending on spells to make your sorc good in combat but if you score enough wounds it will pay off.

Finding some points to give your bsb the scaled skin gift might be a good idea, also a weapon upgrade for those skullscrushers is much needed imo, they need the extra grind. Dont know about the knights, I dont mind knights but they dont really do much for the characters since most missiles and shooting attacks wont be able to hurt their 1+/4++, but I might be wrong, cool list though!
