Playing against SW - Chaos Sorcerers a waste?

Hey, Im playing against SW soon and the guy will be fielding Njall. I desperately want to field a Slaanesh Sorcerer as Im keen to make use of their cool psychic powers and perhaps get lucky and combo it with Noise Marines....but feel that with Njall's 3+ Nullification that it will be completely pointless.

 

Since we have just about zero psychic defense as CSM, do we generally skip anything remotely related to sorcery when playing SW (esp. with Njall amongst them) or is there a viable way of making it work against them? From what I hear Njall can be a very frustrating guy to face, and Id very much like to stick it to him and give him some of his own treatment!

 

Just a heads-up: I assume someone will mention that I should ally in some Demons to get Divination but just upfront thats not an option as I have no interest in spending money on an army that does not appeal to me whatsoever.

 

THanks!

Have to strongly agree with the above opinions - even a regular Rune Priest's 4+ bubble can be incredibly annoying.  Which is a shame, since the Sorcerer is a good deal and the Slaanesh powers can be fun.  As far as "psychic defense" against the SW goes, I just hope I roll 6's for Deny the Witch and try to gun down Rune Priests whenever I can - they fortunately only have the 2 Wounds (as does Njal) so this is doable even if they're in runic or TDA.  (Though if a RP replaces the SW Codex powers with say Divination and Biomancy, they can end up being quite the tank if they roll well for their Biomancy power.)  One small bright spot is that the +1 Initiative NM's get helps out against JotWW.  Good luck against Njal!     

Njall is expensive and dies too easy.  If he is hiding in a landraider he cannot use his other powers and is just a 500+ point counter to your 125 point psyker.  Otherwise, just take him out at the start with oblits, drakes and/or plasma suicide termmies.

Sadly the biggest issue is that what you're hoping to do isn't that powerful (assuming you're looking for +1S sonic weapons). At the end of the day, S5 super Bolters isn't worth the hassle. sad.png
