Creative Assembly and SEGA have announced that Slaanesh will be slithering into Total War: Warhammer III sometime in the not-too-distant future. To showcase the World of Slaanesh, the youngest of the Chaos Gods, developers released a brand new trailer showing off adherents’ pursuit of excess, gratification, hedonism, pain, and perfection.
Anchoring the World of Slaanesh is the Legendary Lord, N’Kari.
N’Kari, the Arch-Temptor, scours the immortal and mortal realms to experience the ultimate sensation and taste ecstasy in its purest form. On the battlefield, he is an extremely fast and vicious Exalted Daemon that excels at hunting isolated enemy characters and units. His unique passive ability, Harvester of Souls, heals him whenever an enemy unit has been fully killed nearby, whilst his Willing Prey ability significantly reduces enemy melee defense and attack, leaving them vulnerable to a quick and agonizing death.
Players using Slaanesh will find units with unparalleled speed and armor-piercing abilities. They can run through enemy units doing incredible damage before they’re even noticed. The armies gain currency by killing routing units. This currency can be spent on a trio of abilities that accentuate the playstyle.
An embodiment of their patron god, the daemons of Slaanesh are vicious, gracious and beguiling. Commanding their sinister armies are the imperious Keepers of Secrets and the Herald of Slaanesh, whilst the core of their army is formed around cunning and deadly units such as Daemonettes and Fiends, leaving the agile Heartseekers and Hellstriders to provide lightning-quick cavalry support.
