Hedonites of Slaanesh Battletome Opens Pre-Orders Saturday With 6 Temptations and 4 Battle Formations

Summary
Saturday pre-orders will open for the new Hedonites of Slaanesh battletome, which centers on a Paragon system that lets players elevate up to three units to gain stronger army-wide effects.
Paragons drive the book’s new Temptations mechanic: six abilities force painful choices on opponents, but Paragon heroes choose the outcome themselves, turning tools like Cutting Barbs and Enthralling Vanity into more reliable control and damage buffs.
The battletome also adds four battle formations, including Godseeker Cavalcade, which lets units near a battlefield edge charge after running and reinforces the army’s trademark speed.
Support pieces offset the faction’s fragility with tricks such as Centre of Attention, the Crown of the Ur-Slaanesh reviving a destroyed infantry unit at half strength once per battle, and Last Ecstasy punishing enemies when slain models strike back.
