Slaanesh is one of the strongest Warhammer 3 factions in terms of raw damage output. Especially in the current state of the game. There’s definitely a lot to love about this faction but there are also quite a few things to dislike. The Seducers of Slaanesh will be a very hit-or-miss faction for a lot of people because it’s a bit of a mixed bag.

You won’t be able to create true Chaos Undivided armies until after you conquer and develop at least four settlements. To recruit units pertaining to a certain Chaos god, you’ll first need to dedicate a settlement to said god. Not just that but the Daemons of Chaos campaign is one of the most important ones in terms of storytelling as it picks up immediately after the Prologue.Īnd you can forget about creating versatile armies right off the bat. In addition to a faction that incorporates units from all four Chaos Gods, we also got a highly customizable legendary lord for the first time in a Total War: Warhammer game. The Daemons of Chaos announcement CA made back in January came as a surprise to a lot of people.

Warhammer 3’s fast-paced and hectic campaign feels brutal for turtling factions like Nurgle. But you’ll have to wait for the appropriate building cycle if you want to make the most out of the recruitment process. Recruiting units is very convenient since you can summon them instantly wherever you are on the map. Once you construct a building, it will progressively grow and unlock access to better units before it starts to decay and limit you to low-tier units again. This is a deliberate design choice since Nurgle is all about the circle of life and pretty much everything follows a cyclical pattern. Nurgle units are some of the most expensive out of all Warhammer 3 factions and you can expect your economy to be terrible for a good chunk of the game. You’ll want to hang on to those units, though, because it may take a while before you are able to recruit more.

There aren’t a ton of hostile factions to worry about and you’re able to recruit very powerful units right off the bat without having to construct any buildings. Playing as the Poxmakers of Nurgle is actually pretty fun during the early game. Both of which are extremely vulnerable to missiles and artillery fire. Nurgle’s armies are comprised almost entirely of monstrous units and (very) slow-moving infantry. The faction has some of the most unique mechanics in Total War: Warhammer 3, however, it also has some of the worst units in the game. Nurgle is in a pretty tough spot at the moment.
