The Emperor's Children have returned in force (and decadent style) to the Warhammer 40K universe, but their Champions of Slaanesh Army Set is increasingly tough to find. In fact, stock seems to have been hurled into the Warp. Plenty of retailers have run out... but not all.
That's why I've been scouring the digital shelves for the Champions of Slaanesh Army Set now that it's officially upon us. While pickings are slim, you can get the Emperor's Children box for from Amazon UK (albeit over RRP) alongside eBay US and eBay UK. However, bear in mind that most listings on eBay are wildly overpriced (or come with hefty postage fees) so should be avoided.

Should you buy the Champions of Slaanesh Army Set?
As a massive fan of the Chaos Space Marine legions (they were my first army back when I was a kid), I'm a little biased. However, everything I've seen so far after a few days with my review sample has left me impressed. As you'll be able to see from glancing at product shots, these models are very handsome indeed - in spite of all the flayed skin and spiky bits, they're easily the most elegant agents of Chaos. I've been cobbling together some Infractors (the base model's close-combat variant that wades into battle with a pistol and short sword) and I've been delighted by the delicate swirls and curves of their decorative armor plating. Painting with such vibrant colors is oddly freeing, as well; I almost never get to work on such a bright, ballsy, in-your-face army.
There's a wealth of customization options on the sprue here too, allowing you to personalize your units in a multitude of ways (always a bonus when you're painting multiple sets of the same unit). Oh, and they hit hard on the tabletop as well. The beloved Noise Marines' weapons ignore cover and reduce Battle-shock or Leadership tests for an enemy unit hit by them, for instance.
Speaking of play, adding two squads of the coming-soon Flawless Blades and removing the box's Noise Marines (!) will give you a complete Combat Patrol , the Callous Blades, for Warhammer 40K's shorter game type. That's a big improvement over the rather light Death Korps of Krieg Army Set, and makes it a pretty decent start for beginners. It's a solid foundation.
Is it weird that the Emperor's Children Combat Patrol doesn't include the force's most iconic unit, the Noise Marines? Absolutely, though I appreciate that it's an army focused on melee action. And sure, the Codex has come under some fire for being light on units. But this is the first Codex the Emperor's Children have had, and that means there's more than enough lore, mechanics, and campaign rules to entrench fans in the world of Fulgrim's finest.
