Unironically this.
Chariots are just really not worth using, even as slaanesh the chariot king faction.
You'll have much better results with hell strikers and heart seekers.
How to say I suck at using chariots without saying it.
They are way too flimsy to leave stuck in, or to attempt breaking the front lines of almost any braced infantry block.
So, and I almost hate to admit it cos I love the tractor combine aesthetic of them all, but yeah if that's all you have access to in your armies for a heavy cav role right now*, either diversify and just micro them as needed or just ditch em sadly.
Bads will be bads. A lot of people just can't admit they don't know how to use certain units or factions. Slaanesh in general is a faction for hit and run, flanking attacks so you shouldn't be leaving their chariots to slug it out. Charge in there, get out and charge again.
Also slaanesh can swarm enemies like beastmen only... faster so they don't need to break the frontlines to reach for archers since hellstriders will do that, and destroy enemy cavalries as well, and not get deleted by getting stuck into infantry lines, and also clear infantries if need be by sandwitching them.
But please bless us with your superiority, we're all clueless baddies badly in need for you to save us from our miserable nature.
But Bretonnia neither has Chariots nor is a Chaos faction. But I guess reading is too hard for Eldyra simps.
You can do all that better with the other slaanesh units.
I only ever have 1 at max and it's usually the starter one that I replace later with heart seekers. They are *ok* in the first 10 turns for pushing around infantry, but that's about it.
They require a bunch of micro to avoid getting bogged down and killed, and do little damage comparatively.
The chariots suck and are underwhelming, period.
they failed in ancient times, they fail in gaming, they will forever fail at anything.
only Hollywood with super rich fantasy can make them little cool (only a little)
They did not fail in ancient times, they were, by far, the strongest force in any Bronze Age battlefield. They had unmatched speed and impact, and were basically mobile weapons teams, with spears and bows attacking all at once.
A Chariot trample usually both began and immediately ended a battle, if the other side did not have it's own Chariots ready. There was even Charioteer-only plate armour, that limited movement, but covered from head to toe, so it was almost impossible to kill the Charioteers.
The Chariot became a symbol of the divine for many cultures, PRECISELY because it was impossible to beat without TREMENDOUS losses, or other Chariots.
Chariots were only replaced by Cavalry when we finally bred horses large enough to carry grown men on their backs.
Chariots in TW have never lived up to real life. Then again, we still do not have a proper Bronze Age Total War.
