Melee Army: Fyreslayers or Slaves to Darkness?

[analog vault]

If you want tanky, it’s definitely Slaves to Darkness over Fyreslayers right now. Fyreslayers were tanky in some of their previous iterations, but I wouldn’t describe them as such now

Khorne, Ironjawz, and Nurgle can also be tanky and melee-heavy

S2D just got a new tome and the tl;dr is that they are a very aggressive combat army with excellent elite infantry and cavalry, and some tricks to move around the board faster

Fyreslayers is still in its index and mostly relies on having lots of bodies and stacking buffs on them
