![]() ![]() ![]() As their empire reached its zenith, the Aeldari became lost in their own decadence, for they experience sensation and emotion to a far greater degree than any other intelligent species of the galaxy. Slaanesh was given life by the immorality and hubris of the ancient Aeldari Empire. The singer striving for the most beautiful song or the warrior who seeks the perfect fighting techniques, both could be devotees of Slaanesh. Just as importantly, Slaanesh is also the god of perfection. Those who desire to indulge in the finest culinary delights, the most beautiful artworks, even the most sensual clothing, could all be amongst Slaanesh's disciples. But this is true in all things, not just carnal pleasures. Wherever mortals are ruled by their own unquenchable desires, the Dark Prince of Chaos is there in the shadows, whispering, tempting, and feasting on a banquet of souls. The Daemonic armies of Slaanesh are known as the Legions of Excess. Its sacred number is six and the colours associated with Slaanesh are riotous purples, pinks and black. It is the god of obsession, the Master of Excess in All Things, from gluttony to lust to megalomania. Slaanesh is the Prince of Pleasure, the Dark God dedicated to the pursuit of earthly gratification and the overthrow of all decent behaviour, as well as hedonism and pleasure for its own sake. The name Slaanesh is a corruption of the Aeldari term Slaaneth ( Slaa meaning "ecstasy" or "pleasure" and Neth meaning "lord" or "prince" in the Aeldari Lexicon hence, the "Prince of Pleasure"), though ironically, the Aeldari refer to this foul entity only as Sai'lanthresh, "She Who Thirsts." ![]() Slaanesh is the youngest of the four major Chaos Gods, having come to full self-awareness within the Immaterium only during the 30th Millennium. Lust, pride and self-indulgence are the hallmarks of all who follow it. Graceful arms spread from the Questor’s carapace, each tipped with a rapid-firing Tormentor Cannon.Slaanesh, also known as the " Dark Prince," the " Prince of Pleasure," the " Lord of Excess," the " Perfect Prince," and the " Prince of Chaos" in the Imperium of Man and " She Who Thirsts" among the Aeldari, is the Chaos God of pleasure, pain, hedonism, excess, perfection and decadence. Slightly larger than a Subjugator and with thicker armor, its powerful legs can still drive it forward at considerable pace. The Questor Scout Titan is a Slaaneshi Titan. While the awesome power of its weapons might pin entire squads down, those brave enough to face it will find that its armour is no better than that of a Dreadnought, ending the pleasure of daemons far quicker than they would have wanted. As hard as it is to believe, it is even more skilled in close combat it is equipped with two Hellslicer Battle Claws, killing everyone daring to face this torture device.Īnd yet, it is not unstoppable. This construct is armed with both sonic weapons, so typical of the Emperor’s Children, and with the sinister, psychically-powered Tormentor Cannons, that unleash the energy within the walker to kill the victims with unbearable agony, leaving their bodies charred by the twisted energies. This giant walker is incredibly swift, able to move quickly and still use its weapons. The Slaanesh Subjugator is a Daemon Engine of Slaanesh. We have four abominations to go through, two titans and two knights. Here we discovered the EPIC scaled mechanical daemon-powered monstrosities of the Dark Prince. Today we are going way, way back to White Dwarf 190 from October of 1995. One day the God-machines of Slaanesh may return. Long ago, the Dark Prince had Knights and even Titans sworn to his twisted service. ![]()
