Tips for Tzeentch in IE?

[Steew]

I've tried and tried to play Tzeentch in IE, and I cannot make it past round 23 without being absolutely demolished. If I focus east, I get taken from the north either by Elves or Lizardmen and west by Lizardmen. If I focus north, I get taken from the east by Slaneesh and west by lizards. If I focus West, I get taken from the north and east.

Seemingly whatever I do I cannot make it past round 23ish. Any tips would be appreciated!

I always ally with slaneesh and if works well they kinda "help" you attack north, at least that way you don't have to worry about east and you can focus on the north and west.

You can go east and conquer the minor Slaanesh faction before you get too many issues in the west. By turn 10 you should have conquered everything east of the demon gate.

The issue here from time to time is that his minor faction pumps out armies so that they are powerful, sometimes even on place 1. That is unfortunate ofc especially because your army is not a very good ambush army. What you can do in this situation is to appease Slaanesh, go east and deal with the Lizards and repell the High Elves. After 15-20 turns, when you have a second or third army you can go back east again. It's backtracking for sure but otherwise, if Slaanesh is not the aggressor and goes on the attack, it is fairly difficult to get a win here.

Ah, and maybe a tip that might help: The Slaaneshi army doesn't have any range units and their flying units are crap. Your LL is a flying Lord... The cheese is there you just need the patience for it.

I see, I haven't tried befriending Slaanesh, I will give that a try!
