[Update #2]: Continuing with the Slaanesh theme, Creative Assembly has now released a second Slaanesh vs Nurgle battle that goes quite a bit differently!

[Update]: It's finally time for excess! Creative Assembly has now released a close-up look at the Daemons of Slaanesh.

Over the past week Creative Assembly has gone into detail about the daemons of Nurgle, showcasing everything from their campaign mechanics to their army roster. Now, however, it is finally time to see what Nurgle's corpulent crew look like in combat!

Without further ado, allow me to share with you the recently posted preview highlighting a battle between Nurgle's Ku'gath Plaguefather and the daemons of Slaanesh who are (suspiciously) not being led by N'Kari. Have a gander, it's a pretty fun (and disgusting) one:

I really have to hand it to Creative Assembly with some of these animations as they've managed to perfectly capture the manic energy of Nurglings. They climb all over each other while running, veer off in practically random directions while still somehow managing to get pushed forward, and just kind of move and attack by repeatedly falling over themselves. It's pretty much everything I wanted to see from them, so consider me impressed! I can only hope Slaanesh will get the same kind of treatment as well.

Once we get a deeper dive into the deamons of Slaanesh (not like that), I'll make sure to let you know. Until then, you can read a little bit more about Total War: Warhammer 3 over at the official FAQ.
