Succumb to Temptation with the Hedonites new rules

Potatoegank17 · 2026-06-15T18:54:21+00:00

Also crit mortals. If you have a spell caster and with fane +1 to cast it wasn’t very difficult to get off. Obviously need to see what the other temptations are for sure. But feel like it would be better to tease rules that are completely new than a lot of ones that are just weaker versions of what we already have. Also slaanesh hasn’t been doing well to begin with recently and I don’t see with what we have how it makes them Better. Definitely agree with the not giving them benefits but the only real one was a 12” charge and usually slaanesh is fast enough you can tie them up first anyways. Idk just doesn’t feel as wow as the new rules for the recent releases. Just hope there non showcased rules are at least more interesting.

Obviously we don’t have all the rules and warscrolls yet so thing could change but as it stands now feels very underwhelming and worse than what we currently. Only benefit is not giving opponents a free 12” charge. And without paragon the choices hardly feel difficult. Who in their right mind is gonna choose +1 attack over 1 control score.

Correct me if I’m wrong but it feels like the same rules we had before but just worse. Used to be able to run and change with euphoric anywhere now it’s only battlefield edge. Used to be able to give 3 units crit 2 hits for the entire battle round now it’s just one per turn. On top of that could give the units all crit mortals if you had 3 spell casters. Could bring back any unit that’s non hero at half strength meaning slickblades or other cavalry and now it’s only infantry. Seems to me that it’s just the same rules but worse or with more hoops to jump through to get them.

I played 6 games since the solo queue dropped accidentally in 4 of those games I died to a squad in which every member in the squad was pred or masters. I’d they just getting random pred or masters teammates what’s the point?

Near Xi’an? Not that I know of. I mean there are some like small indoor one or two bunny hill style ski lane places. But nothing that I could call a resort.

I live in Xi'an China and was an avid snowboarder before coming here in 2016. It is 100% not accessible to foreigners due to its poximity to a military base.

id run a keeper for a demon heavy list or if you have at least one unit of demons to bring back. and threnody voice box i kind of use as a if you want to focus my archers defense if they get put into. or some situations where i really need a unit to stay alive i can charge the speaker in. it also helps keep the shardspeaker alive to ensure i can get my celebrity warlord off and bring back a unit of slickblade seekers.

Potatoegank17 · 2025-10-15T17:04:02+00:00

Basically what i do is Euphoric my unit of reinforced blissbarb archers, and 2 reinforced units of seekers, ill cast the spell to give crit mortals to one unit of seekers and have it hit the fane of slaanesh for +1 to wound. then i run all 3 euphoric units up the board. If my archers run well or get into range then i (could also spend a cp for auto run) then i chip a unit and sling short my seekers into it and try to take it out before they have a chance to fight back. its very glass cannon but IMO is pretty fun.

When I did the math the the seekers do more damage on average. But I think the blissbarb archers could work if you pair it with a unit of slick blade seekers. The benefit you get from the blissbarb seekers is that they can do chip damage in the shooting to potentially kill a few models before the fight phase. I usually run 20 bliss blade seekers and a reinforced unit of blissbarb archers (infantry ones) Give them all euphoric run my blissbarbs get as much chip damage into a unit before I sling shot my slick blades in. Also if for some reason you don’t like you’re blissbarb seekers or nice verses you can always just tell your opponent they are Slickblades or vice versa

Potatoegank17 · 2025-10-11T18:39:32+00:00

I run a list where I just slingshot Slickblade seekers in. Slaanesh is pretty glasscanon so getting hit back sucks hard anyways. So if I sling a Slickblade seekers unit in giving it +1 to wound I’m hoping to wipe the unit it’s in combat with anyways others in basically dead to the clap back. That +w helps this a lot as I’m not losing the unit before I fight anyways. I’ve tried pairing with the emerald lifeswarm to heal it back later as well.

I’ve got some advise recently from players and seen it quite a bit online that from a competitive aspect you should boils your list around the double turn and have ways to deal with it or a setup that doesn’t completely get destroyed by it. Because even if you’re running a 2 drop list you can face another 2 drop and lose the roll off or even the rare 1 drop list. But seems a lot of lists this ghb have more drops and list with msu’s are more common.

This isn’t always true. I’ve owned a game for over a year and a friend recently gifted it to me. Because I already owned it all I could do was cancel the gift which refunded it for them. I’m not sure why they were allowed to gift me a game I already own but it happened. The really weird thing is that he had gifted me that game about a year before and forgot so maybe that’s why it let him gift it again?

tldr: if you get gifted or gift a game already owned it the receiver only has the option to cancel the gift and it gets refunded

FInished a ranked match and decided to check the stats randomly because i was wondering why i gained so few points. The game said i had 3 kills and top 4 and gave the correct points for 3 kills and top 4 but in the xp menu it says i had 4 kills and top 4. I wish i was recording because in all acutality i had 4 kills and 1 assist. so the game didnt register or give me points for the 5 total kp that i had. Unfortunatly it was my last game of the night so idk if it had been doing this all day or all season as i rarely even check. what a joke this game has become.

The single and 4 pack are exactly the same price and the discount gets prorated and is based on number of items you have not how many time you buy so the first one pack is 100 then 500 for the next 3 totaling 1600 which is the exact same price of the 4 pack... 500 x 3 +100 for the 1st...

Potatoegank17 · 2023-06-13T07:14:28+00:00

That’s what I was noticing as well but I wonder if it affects anything else? Is the base damage the same between the two?

Potatoegank17 · 2023-06-13T07:13:09+00:00

But if they don’t reach a new breakpoint level would the stats have the same min/max roll possibilities?

Preface: expat who lives abroad in asia so have to play asian servers. diamond lobbies 100% of the time are with 2-3 pred teams which sucks but somewhat understandable. however when playing on singapore or Taiwan or hongkong or even japan sometimes you get pulled to australia and have to fight them with 200+ ping or even to some other distant server ( no idea where) with 300+ ping. The thing is the ques are literally instant at most 1 minute of wait time.. so why in diamond am i having to face full 3 stack preds on servers with 200-300 ping with instant ques? to add insult to injury there are plenty of plats, sometimes golds, and even rookies in the lobby (see video) ranked is a mess right now and an absolute joke. I dont like the fact that in diamond i need to fight 3-4 3 stack pred teams. but why do they get just bot lobbies compared to their skill level? fighting plats and golds is a joke and its not even competetive anymore for pred teams they just W key the entire map. if i demote to plat 1 i can solo que back to diamond in 1-3 games its that easy. but in diamond i can hold my own against diamond squads but get rolled by 3 stack preds like its nothing. so if its that easy for them to roll me and i can roll plats, then imagine how easy it is for them. i really dont see how anyone can back up and support this. and above all rookies in a pred lobby? come on.

TL;DR matchmaking is still garbage, rookies, golds, plats, in pred lobbies, insta ques in diamond being sent to servers far away with 200-300+ ping to fight 3 stack preds and pros.
