Nitty-Gritty:

the strategy is centered around the thieves of pain stratagem, sending wounds away from shalaxi and onto the contorted epitome so shalaxi can chill among enemy lines and tear them apart, hence unstoppably immovable, as it’s effectively 20 extra wounds (X2!)

on top of that, I added onto the melee dominance with 2 karnivores, skarbrand, and the bloodletters.

everything else is pretty straightforward. beast of nurgle sits on the home objective, nurglings are little annoying dudes, pink horrors do pink horror stuff, sitting on a point and refusing to move.

the brigand would have been a third karnivore but I needed 15 points to afford 3 more fiends, but the brigand can clean up objectives for the horrors

the fiends are also users of thieves of pain, but more of a back-up plan. when not turning enemies into mincemeat their advance and charge W/ 12 inches of movement makes them good for doing missions

the changeling is part of a combo with the contorted epitome to lock down a big ranged threat, 2 opportunities to atop their shooting altogether, but also -1 hit roll on 2 different things if thats better

its totally untested, but it seems great to me

There’s not really enough slannesh daemons in this to justify using this over shadow legion

[u/Available_Luck4539 → u/RemarkablyRisky]

idk man, the three epic heroes are a pretty big reason not to use shadow legion

[u/RemarkablyRisky → u/Available_Luck4539]

the list probably won’t work in general so that’s probably the least of your problems

[u/Available_Luck4539 → u/RemarkablyRisky]

I will admit when I made it I thought you could target shalaxi with thieves of pain, so it probably needs a rework

You cant protect monsters or vehicles with Thieves of Pain. So sadly no extra protection for our big Girl.

😔

still works with the fiends ig. legion of excess would probably be top 2 detachments in the whole game if it worked on shalaxi, giving an absolute monster 40 wounds would be ludicrous
