How to Win with Hedonites of Slaanesh Mortals: Synergies, Combos & Playstyles
In this episode, Matt, Jack, and Rocco shift their focus to the Mortal side of the new Hedonites of Slaanesh Battletome for Warhammer Age of Sigmar, exploring how the army's mortal units work together to create powerful combinations, pressure opponents, and dominate the battlefield. Building on the army rules discussed in our previous episode, the team breaks down how the Sybarite side of the book leverages buffs, positioning, and sequencing to unlock devastating synergies. Rather than focusing on individual warscroll ratings, the discussion centers on how Mortal units support one another and the different playstyles they enable. The current Hedonites battletome emphasizes new faction mechanics and multiple paths to building effective Mortal-focused armies. In this episode, they cover: How to build a Mortal-focused Hedonites of Slaanesh army The strongest Mortal combinations and internal synergies How to maximize army rules through smart sequencing Different Mortal playstyles, from aggressive pressure to board control Building cohesive lists around key support pieces Common mistakes that hold Mortal armies back Tips for succeeding with Mortals at RTTs and GTs Whether you're looking to start a Hedonites of Slaanesh army, improve your tournament results, or simply understand how the Mortal side of the book works, this episode is packed with practical advice to help you get the most from the new Battletome.
