Full Slaanesh Roster

[Villein]

Near certain full Slaaneshi launch roster barring any real surprises like a Warshrine, Slaaneshi Marauder Chariot, any aligned Beastmen units, or Serpents of Slaanesh.

N'kari (Slaanesh / Shadows)
Exalted Keeper of Secrets (Slaanesh, Shadows)
Herald of Slaanesh (Steed of Slaanesh, Exalted Seeker Chariot) (Slaanesh, Shadows)

Alluress (Steed of Slaanesh, Exalted Seeker Chariot) (Slaanesh, Shadows)
Cultist of Slaanesh (Steed of Slaanesh)

Chaos Furies of Slaanesh
Daemonettes
Exalted Daemonettes
Chaos Marauders of Slaanesh (Hellscourges)
Chaos Marauders of Slaanesh (Claw-Swords)
Chaos Marauders of Slaanesh (Claw-Spears)

Seekers of Slaanesh
Heartseekers of Slaanesh
Hellstriders of Slaanesh (Claw-Spears)
Hellstriders of Slaanesh (Hellscourges)
Seeker Chariots of Slaanesh
Exalted Seeker Chariots of Slaanesh
Hellflayer Chariot of Slaanesh

Chaos Spawn of Slaanesh
Fiends of Slaanesh
Soulgrinder of Slaanesh (Daemonbone Claw)
Great Fiend of Slaanesh
Keeper of Secrets

Edit: Added Heartseekers since according to YouTubers they're in, likely as a straight upgrade from normal Seekers the same way the Seeker Chariot -> Exalted Seeker Chariot works. I also added a SE Fiend for Slaanesh since you can see one in the first Nurgle vs. Slaanesh trailer and we saw that there is a monstrous pack of Fiends in the recent gameplay, so I'm going to assume it wasn't trailer magic and is in fact a seperate unit. This gives Slaanesh a unit total of 23, same as Khorne.

N’kari is probably only going to be able to bring the lore of Slaanesh but other than that looks pretty good.

Place your bet everybody

Thought I remember hearing around that N'kari would have a mixed spell selection, but I honestly have no idea on that.

I think you mean give me your money because this is likely it.

A bunch of those were seen in the trailer, I think there are just a handful of surprises left.

That's 21 units total which puts it roughly on par with the other gods of 23 for Khorne, and 19 for Nurgle & Tzeentch. They look pretty complete to me, and we've expected 'surprises' for Nurgle, like the Warshrine on Nurgling Palanquin, only to end up disappointed.

I was hoping for some armored mortals from the get to.
Otherwise the Slaanesh army will pretty much have no armored units at all will it?

Yeah I'd be blown away if we got heavily armored Slaaneshi Chaos Warriors or Chaos Knights with high armor. I think the Soulgrinder, and probably the Chariots will have high armor, but I'd be surprised if anything else goes beyond middling armor.

[Ysthrall]

A lot of Marauders there... A fast and numerous front line for Slaanesh?

Seems like it, which is awesome since I was quite curious how they'd make Slaanesh work as they are all hammers without an anvil. They'll likely be fast, numerous / cheap, cover all the basic roles of Anti-Light, Anti-Large & General Purpose, shielded, decent stats & good AP, and have whatever Slaanesh passives to help them deal or survive / avoid damage.

Yeah I REALLY hope we get some Chaos Warriors.
Both because Slaaneshi Chaos Warriors like AWESOME, but also to open the possibility of facing high armor. Otherwise building an army vs Slaanesh will be value-city (in multiplayer that is, which I love).

And the option for a sturdy front line would work beautifully with the remaining fast units.

That said, I kinda fear we won't get any Slaaneshi Chaos warriors before the first Slaanesh DLC

What do you think this is, Covetton House?

Well they have some mortal infantry that's lightly armored I guess, but it seems to me that armored heavy infantry won't really fit with Slaanesh's playstyle, which seems to be based on speed and maneuverability. Sure Tzeentch has heavily armored front line fighters in it's roster, but they are also cavalry, and presumably much faster and more maneuverable than any heavy infantry would be, and probably fit the Tzeentch roster's theme a lot better. Maybe they'll be included in a later DLC, since CA seems to abandon specializing their races around a certain theme after the initial release and when they start pumping out DLCs.

I definitely think CA took the reasoning of Chaos Warriors not fitting their intended gameplay vision, at least for launch, they used for Tzeentch not having any and applied it to Slaanesh as well. Like you said, they're likely in for a first DLC hopefully alongside Serpents, Knights on Serpents, and Pleasureseekers.

That being said, maybe they've given Slannesh a kind of heavy cavalry to use as front line fighters like they've done with Tzeentch.

Eh...I don't think they'll give anything else, unconventional or not, for Slaanesh's intended front line since we've got three flavors of hopefully well statted Marauders. They'll be your frontline, only matters which equipment you need.
