Khorne Vs Slaanesh

[Dre Matt]

could someone please explain to me why does everyone say Khorne counter Slaanesh? From what I see Slaanesh's unit options is cav heavy and Khorne doesn't have good anti-large / anti charge defense options. Unless the tier 2 khorne infantry and the bloodletter is that good?

Also im playing Shadow Legion so maybe there is a better option?? Thanks in advance for the help

I agree, whenever males ejaculate they tend to relax and calm down a lot

There is no way Khorne counters Slaanesh

Only if there was someone who could not ♥♥♥

The major differences between khorne and slaanesh is that slaanesh is speedier and encourages more flanking attacks while being squishy while khorne favors getting stuck on melee asap and staying there because they can take and dish out damage in a grinder fashion

The speed difference is actually not that much. Khorne isn't as fast as slaanesh, but they certainly aren't nurgle or dwarf slow.

So that really only leaves the incentive to flank charges as slaanesh. The ai has a tough job doing this, and they will send their fragile but fast units right into khornes melee grinder and promptly die.

Played by the human though, if they are able to micro control slaanesh units with multiple flank attack attacks over and over, they can win ahainsit khorne.

But generally, khorne vs slaanesh, it takes less effort for khorne to win

Khorne hits almost as hard as Slaanesh, but has a lot more staying power, and his magic resistance basically nullifies the meek spells Slaanesh can throw at his troops.

Slaanesh is heavily dependant on dealing very quick bursts of damage, over and over, but Khorne has a lot more staying power, and can easilt tarpit Slaanesh, after which he will just win, because he also does a lot of damage, but can also take quite a lot of it, while Slaanesh troops cannot really take much of a beating.

That is the trade off Khorne gets for not having magic, he just wins in melee, and Slaanesh is also a melee faction.

Just because your favorite popcorn youtuber or some r*dditor says so, it does not equate to everyone.
As for the Khorne vs Slaanesh match up.
If it's human opponents, it's all about individual skill.
If it's AI opponents, usually armor is important in auto-resolve, so Slaanesh loses.
If it's lore, Slaanesh loses. If I remember Skarbrand even razed Slaanesh's first palace.

That being said, just play whatever suits your playstyle or explore on your own. Nothing is more pitiful then a person who's a slave laborer to the meta, follows guides or lets others dictate how he should play his game.

I agree. Meta is the worst Chaos God, and it's followers are pitiful weaklings, not even worth their own skulls.

slaanesh is good against faction that have low leadership and rout easily since they have a lot of buff against routing units, khorne is pretty hard to rout in general

Slaanesh is good against most factions, because it deals a lot of damage. Factions with staying power, however, can just outlast Slaanesh and wittle him down.

Khorne is especially good at it, because Khorne is not taht much slower tha Slaanesh, so he can force the engagements, and stop most of the flanking maneuvres Slaanesh needs to do to win.
