Slaanesh is the Chaos God of temptation and excess in all things. To gaze on the armies who have sold their souls to the Dark Prince is to endure an assault upon the senses and the mind, for they are riotous, seductive, and lethal. The servants of Slaanesh seek thrills of every kind, eternally craving new and debauched experiences to satiate their demanding deity. Hosts of mortal swordsmen, cultists, and egotistical champions fight with flamboyant skill and torturous cruelty, while the daemons of Slaanesh – quicksilver fast and impossibly wicked creatures born from mortal sin – are forever hungry to make the souls of enemies into their playthings…

A Decadent Host surrounds Sigvald, Prince of Slaanesh, wherever he goes. To witness Sigvald at war is to witness a martial skill so magnificent that onlookers are entranced as they are cut down. Sigvald is often accompanied by throngs of daemons and mortal followers who delight in the Prince’s utter unrighteous conviction. These frenzied libertines would rather be rent limb from limb than allow a single blade to mar his immaculate flesh.
Epicurean Revellers are bands of Daemons of Slaanesh, spontaneously summoned to the Mortal Realms through acts of atrocity and vice, allowing them to tear the veil of their own accord. Led by discordant courtiers from the Palace of Pleasure, they rarely have any grand strategy in mind – their only urge is to slake those desires that only conventional reality may facilitate, engaging in acts of slaughter before returning to Slaanesh’s realm.
Thricefold Discords are trios of daemons known as Slaanesh’s Heralds. They make up the courts of the Palace of Pleasure. The choicest vices and most appalling perversions are theirs to command, and they are always eager to bring such delights to the realms. Their name is apt, as for all their sorcerous and martial prowess, the real source of their power is their seething need to one-up their rivals.
Lords of Hysteria are champions devoted to the Sacred Seduction of Paramountcy. Obsessed with being known as the greatest and grossest of revellers, they have sold their souls to powerful pleasure-daemons in exchange for both physical prowess and – more dangerously – the ability to plunge otherwise reasoning souls into fits of violence.
