Cultist of Slaanesh

is a Hero unit introduced in Total War: Warhammer III.
== Recruitment ==
* Unlocked with: Cult of Pleasure
== Description ==
Cults of Slaanesh are secretive covens hidden away in the higher echelons of society. They spread rapidly, as wanton lust always does. Drawn to them are the pleasure-seekers and the depraved, but not all cults are built on lechery. The Dark Prince is also a patron of the arts, and so his followers can be found in artist communes or with those that have a need to hone in on perfection, wherever they might be.

== Strategy ==
Cultists' main function for Slaanesh is establishing cults, which can provide steady streams of income and devotees for you, and can ultimately force vassalage on a faction if you hit them with enough. Once you're getting a good supply of devotees, an effective strategy is to spam Ateliers: you can fire the Cultist who set it up and continue on with the new one, thereby ignoring the cooldown and avoiding having about 10 of them milling around doing nothing.
In battle Cultists are nothing to write home about, although Increase Mobility passive is never something to turn your nose up at. They do eventually get a Chaos Shrine as a mount, allowing you to get its effect without having to actually buy one, and can slap down Daemonettes/a Keeper of Secrets at a critical juncture. More than other heroes, you should be ready to cycle Cultists you actually invest in in and out of armies, since you can pop them out to establish a cult then put them back in to see out the cooldown.
