WarCom has previewed the Hedonites of Slaanesh faction. Anything anyone thinks is worth stealing?

Their general ~Army Rule is "an Excess of Depravity".
  • At the beginning of battle choose up to three of your units to be Euphoric.
  • Euphoric units gain [Sustained Hits 2], and can Advance & Shoot/Charge.
  • For every Euphoric unit, your opponent gets a Temptation Dice. They may use that dice to replace a To-Wound, To-Save, or Advance roll with a 6, or two Charge roll's dice with two 6s. After doing so, they roll the dice and on a 1-2 the unit suffers d3 Mortal Wounds.
The one ~Detachment rule shown is for the Depraved Carnival.
  • Add 1 to To-Hit rolls for Infantry units that are damaged.
The other ~Detachments are said to focus on three aspects.
  • One for Cavalry, boosting speed and hit-and-run tactics.
  • One for supplementing Daemons.
  • One for egotistical Champions.
Twinsouls (HoS possessed) reduce enemy Attacks by 1 and gain a 5+ ~FNP in turns where they did not Charge.
 
Hmm... To be honest, temptation dice and the euforic trait would translate better to Slaanesh demons I think, rather than EC. Specially if we are going to be a shooty army (supposedly).
