Slaanesh team

‘Slaanesh teams marry grace and guile, stalking opponents before luring in their prey. Many a player has been enticed by the siren call, only to then find themselves surrounded, ensnared, and ready to be cut down amongst a symphony of shrieking. Still..it’s said to be quite the exquisite end.’

Tzeentch team

‘Tzeentch teams encapsulate the insidious and subtle nature of Chaos. Whilst lacking the ferocity of Khorne, finesse of Slaanesh, or the foulness of Nurgle, they are resilient and adaptable. Like the intricate schemes of their patron god, Tzeentch teams are built to endure, confound and misdirect.’
