Slaanesh got an upgrade in Broken Realms Kragnos- check out the new rules for Slaanesh twins Dexcessa and Synessa to see what they can do!
Since a lot of people have gotten their hands on the new book, there have been a few screencaps floating around. We spotted these over on Reddit, but they are all over the web currently.
You can choose which to build, and they’ll come in one kit. They look pretty massive and a serious force to be reckoned with! You can either go with the daemon who loves magic, or the one with a thirst for CC. Let’s check them out!
Broken Realms: Kragnos Dexcessa & Synessa Rules
Inside this 136-page hardback book, you’ll find:
– The story of Alarielle’s Rite of Life, how it awoke a forgotten god, and the epic siege of Excelsis
– Warscrolls for a host of new gods and champions – including Kragnos, the twin aspects of Slaanesh’s Newborn, Warsong Revenants, and witch hunters Galen and Doralia ven Denst
– New rules for Gloomspite Gitz, including three suites of allegiance abilities, updated warscrolls, and more
– Even more rules content for Cities of Sigmar, Skaven, Beasts of Chaos, and Sylvaneth, designed to represent these forces in the story
– Updated warscrolls for Alarielle the Everqueen and the venerable Lord Kroak
– Six exciting battleplans that chronicle the rise of Kragnos, and rules to play them as a narrative campaign
– Realms of Battle and Streets of Death rules depicting the locations from the story
Without further ado, let’s get into the new daemons.
The New Rules
Embodying the lethal, ferocious aspect of Slaanesh’s lust for battle, Dexcessa is a combatant of power and grace rarely seen even among the ranks of greater daemons. With wicked-sharp claws and the Scourge of Slaanesh in their grasp. The Talon of Slaanesh soars to ever-greater heights of blissful butchery from the moment the first drop of blood hits the floor.
If you want to get all the pleasure you can from close combat, this is the variant for you!
You want to get Dexcessa stuck in early! As it increases the attacks for the rest of the game, and the bonuses are cumulative. Other than that, it has some cool rules for falling back and charging, which really gives you a lot of flexibility. Plus everyone will always be at -1 to hit. Overall looks like a pretty decent combat character.
The softly spoken word to their sibling’s keening war cry. Synessa derives far more pleasure from the manipulation of the mind than brute physical excess. While commanding eldritch magics is as easy as a snap of their fingers. The Voice of Slaanesh’s true power lies in the mesmerizing strength of their words, which are heard across a raucous battlefield by all of the Dark Prince’s devotees.
Who doesn’t love destroying your enemies with magic? Still, with this being so big, we assume this twin won’t be bad in combat either. Again, with how similar the minis are, you will be able to make either from the kit. You’ll either have to decide which you want more or somehow secure two. But with the allocations have been, that may be a tall task!
This version has some pretty interesting rules and can dish out mortals fairly easily. It is also a pretty decent mage, so when combined with the CC power of the other, they make a great compliment.
Do you like the look of their rules? Are you going to pick the models up?
