Reasons why Styrkaar shouldn't be the Slaanesh LH

1: He's Boring

His "look" is not even original or unique. Its just the regular Lord/Champion of Slaanesh model from TT. GW couldn't even put together a kitbash for him he is that generic. Untitled1.png

His mohawk look is already in-game and used by the generic Chaos Lord of Slaanesh. As for gameplay-wise, he's technically just a regular Chaos Lord that can be mounted on a Serpent (like every other Chaos Lord is going to be able to), only thing he offers is that he possibly buffs mortals, not very interesting.


2: He Comes in a Quartet 

If CA is going with Styrkaar, they have to add the whole band. 1712923210214.png


Chaos Undivided - Vardek Crom the Conqueror

Khorne - Haargroth the Blooded

Nurgle - Feytor the Tainted

Tzeentch - Melekh the Changer


Why does only the Slaanesh Lieutenant deserve special treatment? 


3: Better Options


Gilberion - 

Probably the most thematic option for Dechala, he is a fellow fallen High Elf. He's a hybrid melee/spell caster and his mutated form is very unique to the rest of the roster.

NASTASYA ROSKOLNIKOV -

Lets get some more ladies in the game! She's a Slaanesh worshiping Kislevite deluded into believing she is the sister of Katarin the rightful Tsarina.  She could be a dual spell caster.Its a long shot but I would prefer Gilberion or Nastasya Roskolnikov over Styrkaar.png

Both these options are way better than regular joe chaos lord.

Well lucky you, he probably won't be.


You think they went to all the trouble to model and animate basically Vandred's exact model, for Vandred to not be in the game?


It's obvious the same thing that happened with Scyla happened here.  "We made all these crazy animations for this LH.  What else can we do with them?  Oh, lets reuse them for a unit!"

1. We do have another visual of Styrkaar, courtesy of the Liber Chaotica (same place we got the Bloodbeast from)rhawejaej.png


2. We should have all the Lieutenants and Vandred should be Archaon's Slaanesh representative. Styrkaar would do well to fill a 4th LL spot for Slaanesh.


3. Sadly Gilberion is Oldhammer and Nastasya, being Citadel Journal, isn't even canon. And Nastasya would be a LL absolutely if she ever came. Slaanesh-Kislev hybrid, man what a dream.

Nastasya would be way more interesting as a LL. The LH slot is between Gilberion and Vandred for me, likely the latter to keep the snake theme of the DLC.

My own ultimate Slaanesh scenario:rtjrsjs.png


Only one real breach of the canon lore, i.e. Nastasya herself.

Since day one people have attached themselves to lore blurbs and bit characters at the expense of TT lords its just internet culture.

Why?

Neither of them are on the table, as far as we know.

Every single candidate we have for Slaanesh LH is a lore blurb.

You're looking for logic from CA? They made Sigvald Undivided, and Azazel a Warrior of Chaos.


The new Slaanesh LH is obviously going to be Nagash.

Gilberion fits well, interesting look, an elf backstory so fits with Dechala (and potential other units in the DLC if they go down the Chaos Elf route). A legendary Hero doesn't need pages of lore, a lore blurb is fine. 


I knew nothing about Nastaya until she was raised in this forum, but she would be an interesting choice as an antagonist to Kislev. It fits the Tudor Henry VIII / Elizabeth I vibe (which may only exist in my head) that Boris and Katarin give off by having a female rival in the north (a combination of the two Mary's).

Neither of these options are canon, so they can’t be better.

That fishheaded tentacle guy would be interesting. The PG boobsnakes with multiple bras are just a bit lame.

Vandred was turned into a unit. They can’t have the exact same look for a LH and a unit.

That’s silly. There will be no more Slaanesh DLC after this one.


And Kislev hybrid makes no sense, will the daemonettes riding bears?

No, but having access to like Kossars and stuff (you know how Slaanesh missing ranged and all), some sort of mechanic trying to legitimize her rule of Kislev, humanoid pure caster. You can look at the Legendary Characters mod for inspiration:wegejreasjh.png

I just explained it.

You just said "they gotta". CA don't have to add all 4 of them, they can just add Strykaar.
