The Cult of Slaanesh

This is an expansion mod for the Cult of Pleasure based on the 6th edition Storm of Chaos army list.

These changes apply to the Cult of Pleasure, Cult of Excess and S'sildra Tor factions

- Supreme Sorceress and Sorceress have access to the Lore of Slaanesh
- Khanite Assassin is replaced by a Druchii Anointed hero
- Death Hag is replaced by a Cultist of Slaanesh hero
- Witch Elves are replaced by Devoted of Slaanesh
- added all Slaanesh Daemon units to Morathi's Roster (except Soulgrinder and Chariots)
- removed Harpies, Manticore, Black Guard and Har Ganeth Executioner units

- all mortal Dark Elves units have the Mark of Slaanesh but are a bit more expensive in return (except Beast units and RoR versions of Khaine units)
- Replaced the Black Ark worship building with a Cult of Pleasure building allowing the recruitment of Slaanesh units
- Replaced the Ward of Khaine skill with the equivalent Slaanesh missile resistance skill on all Lords and Heroes
- Removed all Manticore mounts (except for the Beastmaster, he now has a Chaos Manticore)
- added a Keeper of Secrets unit to the highest tier of the Ancient City of Quintex landmark (limited to 1)
- Slaanesh ancillaries are available to all Lords and Heroes
- Morathi starts with a Druchii Anointed hero and Devoted of Slaanesh instead of the Khainite Assassin and Witch Elves

I have tried to recreate the Cult of Slaanesh army list as faithfully as possible. That means all Khaine units and heroes as well as Manticore mounts were removed. This presented me with a dilemma with the Beastmaster, as I couldn't find an adequate replacement. I didn't want to give him a Black Dragon as well and even considered removing him entirely as a Lord option. In the end I gave him a Chaos Manticore, even though the visual difference is only slight.

The Druchii Anointed was a Lord choice back then, but couldn't be the army general. Since I needed a replacement hero option for the Khainite Assassin anyway I decided to make him a hero instead. I didn't make him a caster so the Sorceress remains relevant, but he has bound spells to reflect his ability to cast spells on the Tabletop. He also comes with a Steed of Slaanesh mount.

I also decided against adding mortal Chaos units or some of the more "advanced" Slaanesh units for gameplay reasons. The Keeper of Secrets is limited to 1 like it was in the army list. I wanted the Cult of Pleasure to feel like a Dark Elves faction with some Slaanesh flavor and not just get the full Slaanesh roster in addition.

Has built-in compatibility with Marth's Variant Selector, DrunkFlamingo's Tabletop Caps (TTC) and Alshua's Cultist mods. This mod and Alshua's mods both add VERY similar versions of a Cultist of Slaanesh to Morathi's faction, so to avoid duplicates, only this mod's version will be available for Morathi. If you wish to use Alshua's version of the hero for Morathi, use one of the optional submods below.

Should be compatible with the Better starting army mod.

Needs a submod for SFO or any other overhaul. Otherwise the stats won’t be balanced for them. The mod is balanced for vanilla.

Alshua's Cultists Submod
Alshua's Pleasure Cultist + Submod
